my story
My healing journey began with a deeply-rooted desire to eradicate what had been, and seemed like would always be, a life-long battle with acne. One day, at age 37, I found myself looking into the mirror with feelings of loss & hopelessness. My self-confidence and sense of worth was at an all time low. I had been battling acne since I was 12. I was trapped in the cycle of topical treatments, antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, failed industry beauty promises, poor food choices, comparison and low self-worth. To the outside world, I ate ‘healthy’, worked out regularly, and had a wonderful family. But navigating a hectic life of motherhood, partnership, work & a child with increasing health issues was wreaking havoc on my emotional state. I was confused, tired, over-stressed, had digestive issues, and was lacking spiritual connection.
I had a growing list of ailments that to societal standards was just a “normal” part of living. Headaches, increasing lower back pain, joint pains, intense PMS, thinning hair, poor sleep, bloating, constipation, low energy, brain fog, and increasing worry and anxiety were just a few.
I knew that I needed to make some changes.
I began slowly uncovering my main issues and goals of how I desired to look, feel and live. I began exploring how I could support myself and my growing family with the natural tools our beautiful Earth has to offer. I realized it wasn’t just about food and skin care products. I needed deeper healing within my whole mind, body, & spirit.
I started with the basics and weaved my way through trial and error over the years. With every turn, I uncovered a new layer of understanding the body’s connections, finding additional areas that needed attention and healing.
I have enjoyed immensly learning about the body’s desire to self-correct given the proper support. The importance of a strong gut integrity, a thriving microbiome, eating clean & organic foods, proper hydration and detoxification, getting truly restful sleep, limiting toxic exposure by changing what I put IN AND ON my body & use in our home, and most importantly connecting with my true, authentic heart and purpose to live a life better than I could have ever imagined.
My experience has brought me to where I am now- fulfilling my desire to help others who are ready to find a better way of being- a better state of health- using long forgotten concepts and lifestyle practices that nourish us from the inside out. Whether you simply want to start moving towards a life that feels more vibrant and balanced, are struggling with your own battle against acne, desire to move in the direction of living preventatively versus reactively in a world where chronic disease is funning rampant, or are already in the throws of a state of dis-ease and want to bring in more holistic practices to help elevate your healing journey, you are welcomed here.
Trust there is a greater expression of life if you are willing to look. And, so too, is the support to help you find it.
