“I know I’m safe… so why does my body still react like I’m not?”

This is one of the most common frustrations in healing.

You’ve talked about it.
You understand it.
But your body didn’t get the memo.

That’s because trauma isn’t stored in your thoughts, it’s stored in your nervous system.

🧠 Enter EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

It may look simple (just moving your eyes back and forth)…
but what it’s actually doing is powerful:

✨ It reduces the emotional intensity of painful memories
✨ It helps your brain properly process what got “stuck”
✨ It allows you to remember without reliving

You don’t erase the memory.
You change your relationship to it.

And that changes everything.

💫 Your brain wants to heal. Sometimes it just needs support.

Did you know I'm working on a book? Help me choose the best title by putting your vote and thoughts in the comments!

I am writing this for those of you secretly suffering with chronic bloating, nausea, stomach cramps and embarrassing trips to the toilet. But you haven't quite figured out why.

Have you exhausted the medical paradigm? Informed your doctor of your symptoms accurately, navigated through all the medical testing available?

What if you've done all that and been given the diagnosis of exclusion: Irritable Bowel Syndrome? The medical door has closed and you are left in a sea of confusing information from Dr. Google, Tik Tok and ChatGPT. Do you know your next steps to identify the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms? What functional tests are available, what diet do you follow, what natural option are available? You're not sick enough for medication or surgery, but you are not feeling optimal either.

This book is the culmination of my 16 years as a naturopathic doctor orienting patients to where they are in the IBS journey and supporting them to navigate the information to provide clarity and options for symptom relief. Guiding people from confusion to clarity with regards to their digestive symptoms with real case examples and my own personal story encompassed in what I call my 'Avocado AHA moment!'.

I used to have cravings for avocados, I'd eat a little and experience intense abdominal cramping, bloating, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. My body couldn't tolerate even a small amount yet I craved them. As a naturopathic student we learned about the holistic nature of health and the connection between our emotions and the body. My friend asked, what is your body communicating with you?

That's when it hit me, AHA! My symptoms are reflecting a deeper emotional imbalance with regards to my relationship with my father. I deeply desired his love and approval, yet after talking to him for a few minutes his critical nature would overwhelm me and I would leave discouraged, angry and anxious.

This was the start of my journey exploring the deeper emotional and energetic causes to our physical symptoms...and what I absolutely love guiding my patients to discover for themselves.

Meet my little E.T. writing buddy! 16,000 words written so far with this little guy on my upcoming book: IBS Empowered. All your tests are normal...now what?! A naturopathic guide to navigating irritable bowel syndrome.

Writing in my son's orange bedroom activates my creative flow since orange is the colour of the sacral chakra. It seems to be where the majority of the writing is taking place so far rather than trendy coffee shops :)

If you'd like to be part of my book writing process and help me shape the topics you are interested in please sign up for my pre-order list for updates.
