Here is my story...

At a young age, I learned what dis-ease truly felt like. Mystery symptoms emerged, from crippling GI dysfunction and cognitive impairment to autoimmune-like reactions that painted life in a relentless haze. By the age of 24, I hit rock bottom. I was navigating an endless cycle of yo-yoing through prescribed protocols, swinging from hope to disappointment. I pursued every pathway, from conventional and integrative practices to Eastern philosophies, herbalism, nutraceuticals, and extensive lab testing. Each practitioner I encountered added layers of diagnoses and treatments, some helpful, others only deepening the confusion. Yet, answers remained elusive, and I reached a point of forced acceptance.

Amidst this backdrop, I was deep into my studies in nutritional science and holistic healing. With no clear solution in sight, I experienced a profound moment of surrender. This acceptance gave way to a kind of freedom—a space where I could dissolve the clinging to outcomes. I moved to Hawaii, where I immersed myself in the rhythms of nature and regenerative agriculture. I learned about the soil, the potency of natural cycles, and the impact of human interference, like GMOs and corporate farming, on health.

In this environment, a shift began, both subtle and seismic. It wasn’t any single protocol, but a culmination: a shift in mindset, a conscious devotion to both my inner and outer environments. It felt like magic, as though overnight, I emerged well—not just functioning, but thriving. This transformation ignited a purpose to devote myself to healing, helping others, and contributing to the greater good of the collective and the Earth.

Fast forward over a decade, I had accumulated years of clinical experience working in Lyme and mold literate clinics, integrative neurotherapy, and studying under experts in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and consciousness research. I also ran my own wellness coaching business and product line. Then came an unexpected encounter, one that would test everything I had learned: my own run-in with Lyme disease.

The day was expansive, the first warm spring day, and the air was electric with the alchemy of seasonal change. I spent hours outside, crafting nature mandalas and exploring the cusp between winter’s decay and spring’s emergence. It was likely then that I crossed paths with a tick, hidden in the warming foliage and west-facing rocks, lying in wait to anchor itself. The bullseye—the quintessential mark of Lyme—appeared just a week later. I brushed it off as ringworm, applied a homemade herbal salve, and carried on with plans for a seasonal cleanse. I felt powerful, revitalized even, as the rash nearly disappeared during my cleanse. But the respite was short-lived. The bullseye came back with a vengeance, expanding like a silent alarm across my neck. There was no more denying it.

In hindsight, the bullseye, with its historical symbolism as a mark of being singled out or targeted, felt like an echo of deeper lessons: pay attention, recalibrate. My ego surged, asserting I could handle this alone without outside interference clouding my process. I feared the well-meaning but often misaligned input of others projecting their fears or assigning labels to my state of health. I decided to approach the situation methodically, gathering resources, consulting former colleagues, and ultimately accepting an antibiotic prescription for doxycycline. It had been over 20 years since I’d last taken antibiotics or conventional medicine of any kind, having trusted nature’s apothecary for my healing needs.

Ten days into a 28-day regimen, my system rebelled. Familiar symptoms returned with a vengeance: gut issues, brain fog, a geographic tongue, and skin disruptions. It was as if I had detonated an old, dormant version of myself. I felt as if my immune system + barrier systems had reverted to that of my first healing crisis in my 20's.

I preceded by way of intuition and stopped the antibiotics, recognizing they weren’t my path forward. (This is not to discourage others from choosing this route, as antibiotics can be crucial in many cases of Lyme; this was simply my own path.)

Shifting from a “killing” approach, I reconnected with deeper principles I had learned through years of healing work + gained access to healing codes unbeknownst to me previously: toning the nervous system, aligning with natural cycles, utilizing breathwork for immune support, fostering lymphatic flow, and nurturing my energetic body and quantum terrain. This was not about protocols but about tuning into the subtle, intuitive wisdom of the body. It became a process of remembrance, resilience, and reclaiming wholeness—not just managing symptoms, but inviting in true, rooted recovery. I learned Lyme is not a root cause... most things we label root cause are still symptoms of imbalance they just run deeper... Most root cause approaches don't address the quantum waters and what exists upstream. Most approaches still chase and suppress symptoms... ( I SAID IT!!)

This journey wasn’t linear. It was a dance with the unknown, a layered exploration of the inner and outer ecosystems that support life. It reinforced my commitment to guiding others through their healing journeys, not with rigid steps but through a field guide—a way to explore, adapt, and let wellness unfold in a manner as dynamic as nature itself. We are, after all, nature. Not separate from her, but of Her.

I shifted my focus from a relentless killing and clearing approach to one of building, regulating, and integrating. The toll of Lyme was profound. It swept away my executive function, memory recall, and word-finding abilities, leaving me with no choice but to close many of my 1:1 coaching programs. It presented deep systemic pain both neuromuscular + skeletal. It came coupled with skin issues, lymphatic stagnation and swelling nodes, and hair loss to name a few manifestations... Finally, I let my family and close friends into my journey, but with a stubborn condition that they not worry (hello, ego!). This period called for deep humility, acceptance, and surrender.

I anchored my focus on nurturing the lymphatic system, harnessing herbal allies, clearing internal heat, and regulating my nervous system. Most importantly, I began an unexpected journey of integrating my consciousness with that of the tick—more on this in the field guide, where I’ll share how this radical approach shifted everything. I immersed myself in frequency medicine, limbic system re-entrainment, and the lymph-immune-fascia axis, peeling back the layers of old stories embedded in my sense of self and health. I confronted and resolved repressed emotions and long-held patterns. This process wasn’t just physical; it was a quantum entanglement, connecting me with all aspects of my being and life itself.

Relief did come, but more than that—true resolution. Within four or five months, and after enduring a particularly brutal two, I emerged not just free of Lyme and its co-infections but more vital, clear, and whole than ever before. This experience lit a fire within me. It is now not just a calling, but a deep responsibility, to share what worked, the methods that supported me in nuanced ways rarely considered even in the most holistic and functional approaches.

It’s not a coincidence that you’re here, reading this. If you’ve been navigating a maze of ideologies, practitioners, protocols, and are still searching for what truly resonates, know that I understand. My hope is to inspire you back to yourself, back to the innate homeostasis that your body is so intelligently striving for. Thank you for being here on this journey toward deeper healing.
