My Story...

I am a wife to an amazing neuropsychologist and the best partner anyone could ask for, Mike.  I am also the mom of 2 wonderful adults, Emily 26 and Josh 22.  I am a lover of essential oils, herbs, plant based personal care products and natural cleaning products.  My wellness journey began after several years of painful, undiagnosable symptoms. It took countless Dr's appointments, numerous procedures, multiple alternative therapies and a handful of prescription drugs, before I realized that I was just making things worse. I was prescribed medication after medication that was masking the real problems, all while adding side effects causing even more trouble.  I was literally at my wits end and I knew that something had to change. I decided that change needed to begin at home and I made brave steps toward eliminating all conventional medications, processed food, toxic household cleaners and personal care products, feeling strongly that it was the accumulation of toxins that were making me sick. This was not something that happened overnight.  It literally took years to change my habits of reaching for the medicine cabinet when I felt a headache coming on or finding new recipes to replace our packaged food addiction.  During this time, I continued to research and educate myself and I truly believed that severe inflammation was causing my physical and emotional symptoms. Over the course of a few years, my symptoms gradually faded and I began to feel balanced, energized and finally pain free. My weight returned to a healthy number and I had a new excitement for life. I continued my education and became a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner and now look forward to helping you and your family live your best lives.
