My Journey

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…

I was 16 years old and came down with a severe case of mononucleosis. The power of this virus left me unable to finish my junior year of high school and landed me in quarantine at the hospital for a week. Following this incident I struggled with the Epstein Barr virus on and off for years and after having my children came to notice some extreme bouts of fatigue and mental fog. Over time I found it difficult to even walk up the stairs and noticed increasing weight gain. I was soon diagnosed with Hashimotos disease, was put on Syntheroid and began my years of ups and downs with this autoimmune disorder.

WHERE THIS LED ME…

Years of fatigue, weight gain and hormonal imbalance led me back to school in the holistic field where I received my certificate in holistic nutrition. At this time, as my health was seriously failing, I made the decision to go off the Syntheroid, change my diet and try a more holistic path. I went on to work in a local health food store and took many additional courses, webinars, and trainings over the years. Learning more about how implementing REAL food and lifestyle changes can have an enormous effect on your health brought me to physical, mental, and emotional balance. These years of education and research led me to serving the local community for almost 18 years now in leading a holistic lifestyle. Following through with my passion for learning more in this field of health and nutrition, I once again embarked on a new educational path to enrich my knowledge even further. I graduated from IIN ( Integrative Institute of Nutrition) in 2018 and now work privately as a Holistic Health and Life Coach alongside my current position with Green Life Market in Vernon, NJ. This powerful combination of the serving the community and private coaching is a long time dream that brings me joy and makes me feel blessed.
