About

I am a certified IIN Health Coach and have passed my Level 1 Exam at the School of Applied Functional Medicine. I began my own journey to wellness over 15 years ago, although I didn't know it at the time. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and sought treatment through both conventional and alternative medicine. At this moment in my life, I was suffering from extreme eczema which began in college, as well as various other skin conditions that began to appear. I was still too afraid of conventional doctors because I was never given an answer to my problems or symptoms -- just pills, antibiotics and steroid creams. As a filmmaker and storyteller spending about 85% of the time on the road, my health slowly declined. I was exhausted, my skin conditions still all there, and I developed an autoimmune disease. After ending up in the hospital twice in a year and getting no real answers, I took action. I set aside my fears of what might be wrong with me and began a journey back to wellness on my own terms. I believe having an autoimmune disease and learning how to heal is a gift I was given in order to help others learn how to heal themselves with the right guidance in order to live fulfilled, healthy lives. As much as the destination of health is the ultimate goal, the journey to healing is unique to each individual.
