As a teenager, I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Hashimoto’s disease/hypothyroidism. I went from being a triathlete to barely being able to walk to the bathroom without feeling exhausted. My bedside table was filled with prescription medications, and as my condition worsened, I found my mental health crashing and my weight rapidly increasing. I kept thinking, “How did I end up here?”

I was in a vicious cycle of taking my feelings out on food and then feeling overwhelmed with guilt. I couldn’t figure out how to shake the habit even though I really wanted to.

I constantly needed to replace my clothes but every trip to the mall ended with me crying in the fitting room and hating everything I tried on.

I was miserable in everything I wore, except for baggy clothes.

In 2019, I began diving into holistic medicine and integrative nutrition. I wasn’t receiving the answers I wanted and I wasn’t going to accept “this is your life now and you will only continue to worsen.“

Despite years of going to the doctor and finding no relief, I was able to see a difference in my health in just a few months.

This ignited a feeling in me that I had never experienced and I finally felt there was hope for me.

I started to heal my thyroid and feel energized again. I got my life back.

Our bodies are wise and are capable of healing given half the chance.

I began working with a holistic health coach in 2020 and was able to tackle my emotional eating and began feeling happy in my own skin again.

I completely fell in love with the healing journey and in 2021, I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

I earned my certification as a holistic health coach and am now dedicated to bringing a smile to peoples' faces when they think about their bodies.
