I started out as an actor and filmmaker. For many years I had parallel careers as an actor and yoga teacher. It was when my own health was at an all time low that I went back to school for nutrition and health coaching. I am VERY passionate about health. I started on my health journey when I was in theatre school. I started doing yoga and for the first time really connected with my breath and my b
ody. Having a consistent yoga practice helped me to see the value in having a healthy body. When my health spiralled out of control I had a renewed appreciation for a healthy body. I want to help people which, is why I started to teach yoga. I thought if I helped people to connect with their bodies I would help make people healthier. Years into teaching I realize that true health requires much more than just how we move our bodies. It's how we nourish ourselves, sleep, the quality of our relationships, a toxic free lifestyle, mindfulness and our connection to ourselves, the quality of our relationships and having a life of purpose. When my husband passed away suddenly from a heart attack in 2012 my health took a downward spiral. My whole body shut down and ultimately my thyroid and adrenals were not functioning properly. I've spent years trying to get my health back on track. I suffered from sleep disorders, depression, PTSD, panic attacks, chronic joint and back pain, brain fog, fatigue, weight gain, and embarrassing skin issues. I went to several doctors and naturopaths but had little success. It was the suggestion of a friend in the summer of 2017 that caused a complete turn around in my health. Within 6 weeks all my joint and back pain were much improved, my skin cleared, my energy and zest for life was back! After 5 years of searching for a solution it took one conversation to turn my life around. This was the start of my health comeback. In January of 2018 I embarked on a journey to get off my thyroid medications. It took a year but with diet changes I was able to reduce my dose to half. Most people would stop there. I wanted to continue on. I started learning more about gut health. That led me to focus on gut detoxification and repairing leaky gut which I had been diagnosed with. Once I started to follow a protocol I was off my medication within 6 months. I have been medication free for over a year and a half as of this writing in May 2021. Health is truly a journey but well worth the destination. I'm so happy I didn't give up on myself or my dream of getting my health back. It is my sincere hope that I can help others to find hope and healing. After all our body is our home. We need our body to be healthy so that we can enjoy our life to its fullest.
