What followed was fifteen months of every doctor I could find. Dozens of labs. Imaging after imaging. Referral after referral. And almost every single time, some version of the same answer: your labs look normal. Have you considered it could be anxiety?

Ma'am, anxiety doesn't wake you up out of a dead sleep with a heart rate of 125 BPM. 

The cause was MCAS and POTS.

At that point I had already taken a few ambulance rides because my heart rate would spike and my blood pressure would drop without warning causing me to nearly black out. By the time I would get to the hospital I would feel fine. It was the third trip when I finally realized that it was the IV of liquid Benadryl was what was doing the trick.

Only eating chicken, broccoli, and berries because my body would go into anaphylaxis if I tried anything else for two and a half years. I was mostly bed bound and miserable butlosing weight in a way that made people think I was thriving when I was barely surviving.

I was also raising a toddler during a pandemic, and doing all of it while looking, from the outside, completely fine. My skin was clear, glowing almost. I had lost a substantial amount of weight. And objectively, I looked healthy. Nobody could tell I was barely functioning. In fact, most people thought I was faking it. 

In the summer of 2020, I was finally sick of being dismissed and made the decision to switch entirely to holistic care. What came next was not a quick fix. It was a nutrition response testing protocol, with mountains of supplements, and a diet that had exactly five ingredients. It was also one of the hardest seasons of my life in ways that had nothing to do with my health. We lost someone we loved deeply to cancer. The world was in chaos. And I was in the middle of all of it, while trying to raise a tiny person and convince my own body that it was safe while it screamed back.

Slowly, but surely, it worked.

By the spring of 2022 I was in remission. And I have stayed there. (Praise God!)

That same year I got my Emotion Code certification. Then Body Code. Then Quantum Nutrition Testing. Then in November of 2023, the same month I completed my Nutritional Therapy Association certification, I gave birth to my second daughter in our living room at home. No repeat cesarean. Beautiful labor. Beautiful postpartum. My body did exactly what it was designed to do, and I was there for all of it.

That home birth was not just a personal milestone. It was proof. Proof that a body written off as broken can be restored. Proof that the work is real. Proof that healing is not just possible, it is available, even after everything.

After two years of seeing Emotion and Body Code clients, I launched the nutrition side of my business in January 2024 and have not looked back. I am now four years into this work, over 100 clients in, and somewhere past 2,500 subconscious healing sessions. And every single one of them has reinforced the same thing that I learned in my own healing journey: you cannot heal a system that does not feel safe. But when you create that safety, the body knows exactly what to do.

I am living proof of that. And I believe you can be too.
