For most of my life, I put my own health last. I struggled personally with anxiety, depression, and serious gut issues that I didn't know how to address.

My healing journey began in Spring of 2021, when my symptoms had reached their peak. My anxiety turned into panic attacks and depressive episodes. I was eventually diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, which led me to a GI specialist — who told me my only option was pharmaceutical medication. I knew there had to be another way.

I knew I had to make a change, but I had no idea how. I prayed long and hard, but stopped to listen. God directed me to two places:

1. A Spiritual Life Coach - This is where I started. From this experience, I learned that I was looking for someone/something to save me. I was looking outwards for the answers, but I needed to lean on God for those answers. I’m so thankful for this. We can hold emotions in our bodies that hinder our quest for better health. Although this mindset shift was impactful, it didn’t completely resolve my gut issues (IBS). This is when I took step number two.

2. Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) - NRT is a type of muscle testing that addresses the nervous system and also utilizes applied kinesiology and acupressure points to identify root causes within the body. NRT looks at a variety of stressors within the body that conventional medicine didn’t even address at the time. Those 5 stressors can include foods, immune challenges (bacteria, fungus, viruses, parasites), heavy metals, chemicals, and scars.

Through life coaching and NRT, something clicked. I became deeply passionate about growth and healing — and I haven't looked back since. I have continued my education to and became a Level 1 & 2 Integrative Health Practitioner and also a certified muscle tester through CellCore Biosciences.
