My Story

From a young age I’ve always been active, and interested in health and wellbeing. Growing up and through adulthood, I’ve played many sports from golf, baseball, hockey, bodybuilding and I was a competitive figure skater for 15 years. I experienced a lot of health issues from a really young age, and after seeing multiple doctors, and undergoing various testing no one could provide an answer as to what was wrong. Finally, at the age of 15, I was diagnosed with Candida overgrowth. This diagnosis provided an answer, as to what was happening, but even after multiple natural and traditional treatments the problem was never gone completely. I started going to an Osteopathic clinic in my early 20s which helped me look into root causes and try to address them. I learned that I not only still had Candida overgrowth, but also heavy metal, core mineral deficiencies, thyroid imbalances, and 25 food sensitivities, which explained my joint pain, gut issues, especially the bloating and weight fluctuations, brain fog, and feeling overall unwell. 

I’ve been an RMT for over 22 years, and have always had a passion for health and wellness through my career. As a bodybuilder, I learned even more about the body and the power we have in taking control of our health. In 2012, I was in a major car accident that left me with many issues and resulted in neck surgery in 2020. If it wasn’t for taking care of my body, my injuries could have left me so much worse. While preparing for my surgery, I found Dr. Stephen Cabral and read his book, The Rain Barrel Effect. This led me to the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute that I immediately knew was for me. I returned to school, and began testing myself using Dr. Cabral's protocols, to dive deeper into my root imbalances. It felt like I found what I had been searching for years for, a practice that considers several types of medicines to create a personalized solution. I healed my gut, corrected hormonal, adrenal, and thyroid imbalances, and removed chronic inflammation from my body.
