My journey into holistic health and wellness began in high school. I was struggling with a heavily restrictive eating disorder (orthorexia)  coupled with an exercise addiction, which led me to become underweight and lose my period for a little over a year. In addition to under-nourishing and over-exercising I was chronically over-stressed and cyclically going on/ off the birth control pill. By the end of my 3 year struggle with birth control, stress & food fear I was nearing high school graduation, burnt out and struggling with cortisol belly, hormonal acne, gut imbalances, poor digestion & overall a very unhealthy, unhappy body. My own struggles led me to the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN) right out of high school, where I completed my studies and became a Holistic Nutritionist. While enrolled and completing my courses at IHN I found my love for gut health, digestive healing and hormonal bliss. My love for PCOS comes from not my struggle,  but that of one of my dearest friends. She had asked me to help her manage PCOS symptoms, so I researched and put together a healing protocol for her. Ever since I finalized that protocol I have been hooked on all things fertility, PCOS, PMS and hormones. I want to help and empower women to feel secure & happy in their bodies through happy hormones, optimized digestion and a nourished gut. I want women struggling with acne, PMS, PCOS and imbalances to feel one with their bodies and aligned with themselves. I later found my love for the microbiome and pressed formal education in functional gut testing through Core Perform.
