For most of my life, I struggled with feeling disconnected from my body, battling severe anxiety, binge-eating episodes, cystic acne, hormonal imbalances, and a deep sense that something was inherently "wrong" with me.

Despite countless doctors, tests, and treatments, I remained stuck in a relentless cycle of chronic symptoms.

Things took a turn for the worse during college. After being prescribed Accutane, I endured six months of severe cystic acne that devastated my self-esteem and triggered an obsessive relationship with food and fitness. I eventually stopped getting my period and was diagnosed with hypogonadism—a condition where the ovaries produce insufficient hormones. My body was in complete survival mode: I couldn't sleep, regulate my emotions, or find peace within myself.

During the pandemic, a 21-day meditation challenge opened my eyes to new ways of thinking and healing. I dove into spiritual practices, journaling, and meditation, but my “incurable” symptoms—gut issues, anxiety, and fatigue—persisted.

After seeking help from numerous doctors and specialists with no success, I realized I couldn’t rely on others to heal me. I became my own healer, immersing myself in holistic modalities: herbs, supplements, acupuncture, plant medicines, nervous system regulation, and diets ranging from vegetarian to carnivore. Despite my efforts, nothing provided the magical "fix" I was seeking.

A transformative yoga teacher training in Costa Rica deepened my understanding of the mind-body-soul connection and redefined my approach to wellness. However, returning to a corporate job left me more dysregulated and disconnected than ever. Facing near-daily mental breakdowns, I knew I had to make a change.

A pivotal trip to Bali gave me the clarity I needed to quit my corporate job and fully embrace a new path. I enrolled in the Andrew Weil School of Integrative Medicine to become a holistic health coach and continued experimenting with healing practices that aligned with my body and intuition.

Through this process, I discovered that years of being at war with my body, suppressed emotions, and negative thought patterns were deeply stored in my body, manifesting as physical imbalances. Real healing came when I began doing the inner work—processing emotions, rewiring my subconscious, regulating my nervous system, and setting boundaries.

Everything started to shift. My skin cleared, binge-eating episodes disappeared, and I finally felt a deep sense of connection to my body and intuition.

Today, I’m 90% free from the chronic issues that once ruled my life. Healing is a lifelong journey, and while I’m not perfect, I’ve come to embrace growth, change, and continuous alignment. Now, I’m passionate about helping others reconnect with their bodies, release emotional and physical blocks, and experience the transformation they’re capable of creating.
