My Story
Being on life support changed my life. It altered my life for the good, causing me to reevaluate my purpose, conventional medicine and our food industry.
I had to have surgery to remove part of a rib near my heart. Shortly after surgery, there were complications that needed emergency surgery which put me on life support. It immediately caused me to develop a rare and chronic pain condition called CRPS/RSD (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). CRPS Is one of the most painful conditions you could live with. On the McGill Pain index scale CRPS can be more painful than unmedicated childbirth. I spent years fighting "incurable" pain that conventional doctors claimed was only managed through prescription medication I couldn't function on.
About a decade before my surgery, I had inexplicable health ailments. I was a victim of conventional medicine and it failed me or made me worse. Conventional lab work showed normal levels that I was healthy, yet I had symptoms that were screaming at me. Conventional doctors did not hear me and repeatedly told me I’m “young and healthy." I even spent a week at the Mayo Clinic baffling top doctors and left with no clear answer that made sense. When I met an Integrative Doctor, he saved me! He listened, he took non-traditional tests and helped me find answers. Between my new integrative doctor and my research my CRPS went into REMISSION within MONTHS! This journey reshaped my passion to go back to school to help others feel their best.
Ironically, it was my trauma, which changed my life for the better. It led me to become a Certified Integrative Health Coach and Nutritionist and put me on a path to soon becoming a Functional Diagnostic Practitioner and Holistic Health Practitioner. I love what I do - but more importantly I love bringing positive impactful change to those actively seeking to enhance their quality of life.
