Over the past several years I suffered silently with chronic health conditions that crippled my entire life.
Doctors kept telling me I was OK. But I didn’t feel OK. Gaining massive amounts of weight I couldn’t seem to lose, suffering from body aches, depression, chronic fatigue, and debilitating migraines on the regular was not normal—or OK. There was a period when I actually thought I was dying and wasn’t sure if my life was worth fighting for.
So I surrendered. I prayed. I cried out to the Universe and said I couldn’t keep going on this path alone. I need help. Soon after… help arrived in the form of new intuitive guidance, leading me to a stronger care team of functional and internal medicine doctors. Which led me to get to the root cause of all of my symptoms. I learned the importance of true full wellness: the spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, and environmental aspects of our health.
Everything is connected.
The turning point was when I started to fight for my life, not from a place of fear, but with radical love. I shifted from, “I hate my body and need to protect myself from the harsh world” to “I love myself and body so damn much that I will do anything and everything to ensure it’s optimal wellbeing.”
I saw how the relationship with our body is a direct reflection of our relationship with life. My quest was really about safety. How do we fit into a world that all too often feels threatening? How can we feel peace through the chaos? It was and always has been about home. Coming home to self and seeing that one of the reasons we are all here is to witness the darkness, and how it can lead us to light.

Our relationship with our body is a direct reflection of our relationship with life.
Wellness through the path of self-love saved my life. The paradigm shift was in realizing that food is medicine and nature heals. Health is the absolute greatest wealth.
We must tune out the noise of the outer world and align with our inner world. Because the answers you seek are not out there, they are within you already. No matter where you are on your journey, you’re not off track and you are not behind. We are not problems that need to be fixed, and our life does not need to look a certain way before we can let love in.
Love is the key to all transformation.
In every moment we can choose, will we continue to make choices from a place of protection, safety and fear, and resists what is? Or will we live a life where love is our guiding force and in doing this we see where our true safety lies? Ultimately, it all comes back down to one thing, LOVE, this is the return to you.
