I've been in nursing since 1999. I started out as a certified nursing assistant and then worked my way through nursing school. I earned my registered nursing license in 2006. In 2012 I began a healing journey through 12 step recovery. In 2015 my son, Oscar died of suicide. He was 15. Since then I have felt called to explore my role as healer, not simply nurse. I became Reiki Level II attuned in 2017; finished mt RN to BSN bridge program in 2019 and then pursued education in health coaching at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I started becoming more and more familiar with autoimmunity as I learned about what was going on in my own body and finally received three autoimmune diagnoses one right after the other in 2024 and 2025: Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Reynaud's Syndrome, and Adenomyosis. My dear friend introduced me to AIP in the fall of 2024 and I knew it was where I belonged! I have now determined that my least restrictive diet doesn't stray too terrible far from the Modified AIP and I am so excited and grateful to be in a position to help you find your least restrictive diet, too!
