Midlife can feel like a juggling act — health, family, career, and everything in between. Somewhere in that chaos, we often lose ourselves. I know, because I’ve lived it. For decades, I battled fatigue, hormonal chaos, skin issues, and emotional ups and downs. Most of the time, I felt dismissed by doctors or offered quick fixes — birth control, antibiotics, painkillers, or stimulants like sugar and caffeine. These gave me temporary relief, but never real answers. I felt unheard, and stuck in a cycle of frustration. But deep down, I always knew there had to be another way.

My struggles didn’t just show up in midlife. They began when I was very young. At just two years old, I had a health crisis my mom thought I might not survive. From then on, I was that child who was always sick — missing weeks of school at a time from chronic flu-like illnesses. By the time I hit my teens, things snowballed: cystic acne, PMS, fatigue, anxiety, and cycles so irregular they often disappeared for months. I told myself it was because I was athletic — I had been running track and field since the age of eight — but deep down, I knew my body was crying out for help.

Like many women, I turned to what was offered. I spent years relying on birth control, antibiotics, over-the-counter meds, caffeine, and sugar to push through. Instead of healing, I only piled on more harm. My gut and immune system were shot, my skin told the story, and my nervous system lived in overdrive. By my 30s, I was exhausted. By my early 40s, early menopause set in. It felt like my body was giving up on me, and I didn’t know where to turn.

At 47, I hit my breaking point. Out of desperation, I found a functional medicine doctor who finally began asking the right questions and looking at root causes. What we uncovered wasn’t pretty: decades of medications, toxins, poor gut health, and unresolved stress had built up a heavy burden in my body. The next years weren’t easy. I went through endless lab tests, supplements, and restricted diets, and still found myself stuck. By 55, I faced another crisis that forced me to dig even deeper. That was when I realized I couldn’t just outsource my health anymore — I had to become an advocate for myself.

Everything shifted when I began praying for guidance, doing deep inner work, and educating myself. I started to understand what no one had ever explained: healing starts at the cellular level. When I focused on reducing my toxic burden, nourishing my cells with the right foods, and calming my nervous system, things finally began to change. My energy returned. My skin began to heal. My moods stabilized. For the first time in decades, I felt like I was living in a body I could trust again. And the best part was that it wasn’t about chasing another expensive supplement or fad diet. It was about creating the right conditions for my body to do what it has always been designed to do: heal.

That transformation inspired me to begin a new chapter — not just for myself, but for others too. I became a Certified Primal Health Coach and wellness advocate so I could take what I had learned — through trial, error, and personal healing — and make it simpler for others. My mission isn’t just to hand out another checklist of habits. It is to walk alongside you, help you clear the noise, and remind you that your body is far more powerful than you’ve been led to believe.

Today, my mission is deeply personal. I want to help you let go of the overwhelm. I want to show you how powerful your body becomes when you begin at the cellular level. And I want to guide you through simple, doable steps that create lasting change. You don’t have to suffer in silence as I once did, and you don’t have to feel dismissed or dependent on a system that only masks symptoms. You can reclaim your energy, rebuild your confidence, and create your own new chapter — and I’d love nothing more than to help you do just that.
