Then something shifted.

One day, desperate for some kind of relief, I walked into a yoga class. I had no idea it would change my life.

In that class, I felt strong. For the first time in years, I felt in control of my breath, my body, my presence. I left feeling lighter - not just physically, but emotionally. The more I showed up for myself on the mat, the more I started showing up in my life.

I joined a 21-day group detox through my studio, and that experience cracked something wide open. It was more than clean eating and daily yoga—it was a reintroduction to myself. We learned about food, cooking, energy work, and I met with a naturopath who helped me identify long-standing food sensitivities, like dairy, that had caused stomach aches since I was a kid. I finally understood the root of symptoms I had carried for decades.

I eliminated inflammatory foods. I moved my body more intentionally. I started slowing down and listening. That’s when everything began to change.

The weight started to come off. The dizziness and panic attacks I was experiencing started to subside. And most importantly—I started to feel like me again.

It was empowering. And once I found that power, I knew I couldn’t keep it to myself.

I dove headfirst into the world of holistic wellness. I studied herbalism, immersed myself in ancestral wisdom, and eventually became a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I knew I wanted to help others the way I wished someone had helped me—by asking the right questions, looking at the whole person, and reconnecting to the root of it all.

I felt connected to my body, to the earth, and to a purpose greater than myself.
