My Story: From Surviving to Healing
After having my daughter in 2015, I started to notice subtle signs that something wasn’t right. At first, it was easy to brush off—fatigue, sinus infections, congestion, bloating, irritability. Like so many new moms, I chalked it up to the demands of motherhood and tried to push through.
But those quiet whispers from my body soon turned into screams. I was nodding off during the day, battling constant sinus infections, and experiencing extreme bloating after every meal—so much that I looked pregnant. I’d wake up at night in pain, and no matter how many doctors I saw or labs I did, I kept hearing the same thing: “Everything looks fine.” But I knew deep down, everything was not fine.
By 2018, after two exhausting years of being passed around from provider to provider, I finally demanded a test for gluten intolerance. The results were clear—my antibody levels were sky-high. I was told I likely had Celiac Disease and needed to see a specialist. At that point, my body had gone from sending gentle nudges to full-blown panic.
Shortly after, I was officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease and Proctitis. Within a month, it progressed to involve my colon and I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, and my world flipped upside down.
I became unrecognizable to myself. My weight dropped to 96 pounds, I had severe acne, debilitating fatigue, and could barely make it through basic daily tasks. I was constantly sick. Life was slipping by while I sat on the sidelines, unable to show up for my family, my friends—or myself. I tried medication after medication, failed multiple immunosuppressants, and lived on prednisone for over a year. The side effects were brutal, and I was told this would be my “new normal.” But deep down, I knew it didn’t have to be.
At 30, I made a choice: I wasn’t going to settle for survival.
I became my own advocate. I immersed myself in learning—reading everything I could about autoimmune disease, gut health, inflammation, and holistic healing. I experimented with diets, supplements, and protocols. And while some things helped a little, nothing truly clicked—until 2024, when I began working with a functional nutritionist.
Even after all my research and years of trying, I quickly realized how much I was still missing. I was doing “healthy” things—counting macros, doing HIIT workouts, eating gluten-free processed foods—but I was unintentionally putting more stress on a body that was already overwhelmed.
That was the turning point.
With the right guidance, I learned how to truly nourish my body—with whole foods, gentler movement, restorative practices, and lifestyle shifts that honored my bio-individuality. I slowed down. I stopped pushing. I learned to listen to my body instead of fight it. And slowly but surely, I began to heal—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too.
That journey—from burnout to healing—is what led me here.
I went back to school and became a Certified Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, with advanced training in Gut Health and Hormone Health. I’m now continuing my education as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P), so I can help others dig deeper into the root causes of their symptoms and find real, lasting solutions.
Today, I support people who feel ignored, dismissed, or stuck in survival mode—because I’ve been there. I know how isolating it is to be told “you’re fine” when you feel anything but. And I also know how life-changing it is to finally feel supported, empowered, and seen.
You don’t have to live in burnout. You can feel better. And I’m here to help you get there.
