About Me: My mother and grandmother were always advocates for a holistic approach to health and wellness. Grandma's and Mom's medicine cabinet was always full of herbs, vitamins, and ointments. My mother use to treat my symptoms with tea tree oil, Camphor and menthol, probiotics, along with a host of other vitamins, and a RIFE machine. I always leaned towards natural remedies.
In 2019 at the age of 37 I began working in the alternative medicine field as a patient advocate. Today, I practice as an unlicensed complimentary and alternative medicine practitioner in the state of California. I have the following certifications: Certified PEMF Professional, Certified Health Coach, Certified Holistic Nutrition, and Certified Naturopath.
What led me to my career choice? Or should I say mid-life career change? In 2018 I began having severe panic attacks. Although I was functional and never missed a day of work these panic attacks were difficult for me to deal with. I used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) technics during these attacks, exercised, and tried various vitamins and supplements. This helped greatly reduce my symptoms of anxiety. Eventually I enrolled in professional therapy which helped me to realize other patterns, thought, and behaviors that were contributing to my anxiety.
In 2021 I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In hind site I realized I was suffering from MS for well over a decade, but it wasn't until 2020 that the symptoms became obvious enough that a doctor was finally able to diagnosis me properly.
This diagnosis caused me to do a deep dive into auto-immune and inflammatory diseases. I changed my diet, restored my gut health, got my vitamin D levels to an optimized level, and took several supplements to to modulate my immune system. It was shortly before my diagnosis with MS that I learned about Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy. PEMF helped me tremendously to deal with my symptoms.
This experience encouraged me to go back to school and get the certificates to open my own Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) practice. I'm thrilled to be opening my doors in Newport Beach, CA in September, 2024. My focus will be on helping people to heal naturally from inflammatory conditions, auto-immune diseases, anxiety, depression, and pain.
