My Inspiration
My health journey started in 2013 when my mom was having severe panic attacks. Rounds of different anti-depressants left her body with allergic reactions, severe side effects and emotionally and physically depleted. I knew I had to do something else to help her, something different than conventional medicine. I embarked on a journey which became my passion and purpose, even though I did not know at the time. A fire lit up within me, and I felt so passionate about what I was learning, at the same time, I was becoming aware of my own health struggles with GI issues, constipation, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and anxiety.
As I helped myself and my mom nourish her body, I saw first-hand how our bodies are made to heal- they want to heal. I kept learning and studying the different modalities of natural health, and today I am so proud to be able to serve you.
My Mission
My mission is to empower you to take back control of your own health through Diet, Exercise, Stress reduction, Toxin Removal, Rest, Supplements, and Success Mindset. In conjunction with advanced Functional Medicine lab testing, so that you can optimize every cell in your body to keep you feeling vibrant, so you can have the energy to live your life with passion.
I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to study under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen Cabral. Dr. Cabral is a Naturopathic Doctor who runs on the of largest international wellness practices. He teaches clinically effective and scientifically proven Functional Medicine protocols.
Dr Stephen Cabral’s protocols have not only helped me, my family, and friends on multiple levels but have also become incredibly successful among professional athletes, fitness models, well-known musicians, and actors. Integrative Health Practitioner (IHP) methodology has successfully helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world. I am so honored to be both a Level 1 & Level 2 graduate from the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute and be able to share my vast knowledge with my clients and find the root cause of their dis-eases by replenishing the body with nutrients and eliminating any toxicities.
Integrative Health Practitioners (IHPs) differ from many other health coaches and doctors in that they strive to educate their wellness clients on the essence of bio-individuality. This means that no one perfect diet, exercise, or lifestyle component is right for every single person, especially depending on what stage of their health journey they may be in.
The "one size fits all approach" does not work because we are all unique individuals AND we all have different nutritional and lifestyle needs as we go through different phases of our lives.
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
- Hippocrates
How I Can Help You
We, as IHPs, also offer a unique service in that we always look for the underlying root cause instead of covering up symptoms with medications. We also provide longer one-on-one consultations to truly listen to our clients, walk them through the process, and hold space for their own healing journey.
