I love art in all its forms. Health, in its dynamic grandeur, is an art. We humans are a masterpiece; a  poetic reflection of creativity and story. Interwoven with experiences and full of history and potential that goes beyond the physical. 

That’s what I love about holistic wellness, ancient nutrition and alternative medicine, it acknowledges the whole person. It takes into account universal principles and understanding that leaves space for personalization and detail. It sees the connected and integrated tapestry’s significance, from beauty to pain to potential.

I am thankful to experience, study, and practice frequency wellness and mind-body nutrition. I consider it one of, if not the most brilliant of the arts. I consider myself an advocate, chronic illness pioneer, student of the healing arts and trained mind-body wellness coach and certified Colon Hydrotherapist. As a native researcher and investigator, my deep interest in the mind-body connection, epigenetics, understanding the voices of our body and using food as medicine has only become more robust over the years.

I am just like all of us, I’ve been a full-time student of life. Led by life’s turns, my journey has stood to be one of my truest teachers and guides. Much of my early life was accompanied by persistent health challenges, a sensation of being trapped in a hyper-sensitive body tossed from specialist to specialist seeking answers and direction. The undertone of my narrative echoed through cycles of endless redirection and deep disappointment, overwhelmed by the magnitude of my concerns. the limited approaches and a lack of progress fueled my journey.

Seeking alternative medicine and ancient remedies, I delved into a commitment to understanding my system, guided by hope that life beyond this chaos was tangible. Turning towards my intrinsic design, I rediscovered the nourishment rooted in my natural origin, thus fueling my dedication to the interconnectedness of gut, brain, and mind-body relationships. Progress emerged, symptoms reduced, but chaos persisted as my inner and physical worlds sought greater order and balance—fundamental pieces were still missing.

My journey unfolded amidst the complexities of a body hyper-sensitive and seemingly ensnared. Specialized consultations, offering no solutions beyond medications, became a tiresome cycle, resonating as an undertone in my narrative. Overwhelmed by concerns and traumas, I felt confined within the wrong vessel, with limited approaches and stagnant progress marking my path. In my late teens, a crucial decision steered me towards lifestyle changes over medications, embarking on a quest that delved into alternative medicine, ancient remedies, and the intricate connections between gut, brain, and body.

Progress unfolded gradually, but chaos lingered in my body systems. After numerous tests, a profound revelation emerged, I had been combatting Lyme and co-infections for decades, compounded by implications of vaccinations, MTHFR, MCAS, heavy metals, mold, and the effects of malaria which I had contracted overseas. My organs were under severe stress, inching towards shutdown. The correct diagnosis arrived just in time, marking a pivotal moment that guided me into a deeper journey of self-discovery, learning, and healing. Life-altering rehabilitation ensued, demanding a continuous choice to lean into my design and wholeheartedly embrace the healing process.

In a world saturated with mass production, toxins, and quick fixes, the integral aspects of pathology, biology, psychospiritual elements, genetics, environment, and most often are seen as irrelevant and ignored. Early on, I witnessed the disconnect between conventional health, sickness, and preventive care, recognizing the way true nutrition fosters a direct connection with our innate bodily wisdom and God given design. Traditional medicine's limitations became apparent, but the answers I had tirelessly sought for decades were now within reach.

Since then, I am immensely grateful to have partnered, educated under and worked alongside a variety of incredible practitioners, teachers such as Marc David at The Institute for Psychology of Eating (IPE) and experts in the naturopathic, kinesiology, functional and eastern medicine realms while growing in body intelligence and congruency to intuitively partner with my healing and harness the learning. Their influence and wealth of experience has been a guide to further lead me into restorative health and freedom, both personally and professionally. The sharing of their knowledge through treatment, teaching and my rehabilitation over the years has been revolutionary to the healing and entraining and since, has been integrated into my work. 

Now living with new sight and perspective since these events, I experience life in greater alignment and fulfillment, alchemizing each aspect and helping others take their agency back, while aligning with their design. I truly believe that the way out is often through — and I will never deny the body’s ability, resiliency and capability to heal as well as our ability to find freedom and life in and from our limitations. Thus, today my purpose is partnering with others to assist them in sourcing and flourishing in their natural design.

Aligned in Design was formed to meet people where they are. To assist practitioners, wellness professionals and others in navigating chronic challenges, connecting the dots along the way, identifying symptoms, providing strategies for balancing, nurturing and strengthening one’s constitution naturally and by understanding mind-body, frequency wellness. In turn, elevating and enhancing one’s understanding of the body, while expanding capacity and fortitude to live well while alive. With hope, in more liberation and on purpose — by design.
