my story
In my life's story, I once thought I was pretty healthy, living a good, wholesome life. But everything changed when I became a mom. Suddenly, I was hit with all sorts of health problems – hormones out of whack, feeling tired all the time, gut issues, you name it. I just thought it was normal for moms to feel this way and kept on going, silently struggling.
Then, it got even darker when my mom, who's my rock, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Seeing her going through cancer made my own health problems feel even heavier. But in that tough time, I found a spark inside me, a feeling like I was meant for something more. (By the way, my mom's doing great now!)
So, I went searching for answers. That's when I stumbled upon functional medicine and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) program. I threw myself into learning about it, and I eventually became an FDN Practitioner.
Through all the studying and soul-searching, I realized something big: stress was at the root of all my health issues – and probably yours too! I was determined to take back control of my health, so I dove into holistic ways of healing, trying to find what worked for me.
And guess what? It worked! Not only did I get my energy back, but I found my calling too – helping others do the same. My own journey lit a fire in me to guide people toward feeling better and living their best lives.
