Shaky hands, numb spots on my face, hands, and feet, muscle spasms, lack of coordination, lead legs, muscle aches and weakness, persistent UTI’s, spotty vision, wads of hair loss, heart palpitations, panic attacks, weight gain, and overwhelming fatigue…these were many of the mysterious things I had scribbled down on a list. The brain fog was so intense that the most reoccurring thought I remember having was “I need help.” It was becoming more and more difficult to string words together to form a coherent sentence. The simplest of tasks had become painfully challenging and it was a daily struggle to participate in my own life.   I eventually found my way to a doctor who listened and helped me discover how my array of symptoms were related. I was soon diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. This diagnosis became the catalyst for a diet and lifestyle change that upon research brought me to the AIP. Following this protocol not only provided me relief from my symptoms, but ultimately helped me get my life back.   I have come to both believe in and have experienced the healing power of food as medicine. As a certified coach it is my passion to partner with clients who are struggling with inflammatory related issues, who feel tired, stuck, lost, or uncertain of how to move forward. We will work together to discover and identify action steps you can take in a space that allows for continual evaluation of what is and isn’t working best for YOU. My intention is to offer the unconditional support, ongoing accountability, and unhurried time needed to focus and reflect in order to generate sustainable changes as you journey along towards your best healthiest self. I have an office in Orange County CA or can meet with you virtually. A first time health history consultation is FREE, I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story.
