I love tending to any kind of garden indoors or outdoors, but I especially love to teach everything I know about gardening indoors with either hydroponics or soil media.

My Story:
I have always been more attuned to complementary and alternative ways of healing and loved educating others over the years about the many benefits and uses of flower medicine. I just figured I needed to wait until I was gaining my doctorate in Naturopathy to study clinical herbology. I didn't think to pursue this path ahead of time until I found myself experiencing physical symptoms of burn-out and stress overload.

There I was, a single mother raising two children, working as a payroll manager, taking hard science college courses, leading cadaver dissections for students in Anatomy and Physiology, also working as a supplemental instructor for chemistry, acting as president of an environmental club at the college, and taking care of my grandmother who was on hospice and needed around the clock care (I had the 6pm to 6am shift). I never slept more than a few hours at a time, underate college cafeteria food most days, and I definitely stopped taking the time for self-care, yoga, reflection, and replenishment. I remember telling my family and friends that the stress was too much, that I could feel it creeping in like the plague, gnawing at me from the inside out.

Even when I thought I had peeled back all the layers of my existence and "figured it all out", there was still more to be revealed. It wasn't until my physical body began to speak a message in an unfamiliar language that I really had to quiet down and listen. I began to experience physical dis-ease in my body and it was scary!

Hippocrates said, "all disease begins in the gut," not just a few, but ALL dis-ease begins there. This is a profound notion and something I had to really reflect on, because I was literally witnessing the process of dis-ease unfolding in my body from the beginning stages of dysbiosis (an imbalance of good and bad gut bugs in the intestinal tract), to the onset of SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), to the production of a leaky gut (microscopic perforations in the intestines causing undigested food particles and toxins to escape into the bloodstream), to several inflammatory responses and food sensitivities/intolerances, to a full blown pathological autoimmune disease and a cascade of symptoms to follow.

It took three years and over 50 different health care professionals to provide me with a diagnosis, a prescription, and finally a treatment plan, but, of course, with a small caveat in toe:
I was told there was no cause or cure for the disease.

Well, I refused to believe in the prognosis and began further research and development on an individualized plan based around my specific needs. I knew from my background in neuroscience that I could call forth epigenetic mechanisms and reverse the process of how the dis-ease originally manifested, I just needed to undergo a few experiments and make sure that this was indeed the right plan for me.

I figured out what my specific needs were and came up with a comprehensive system to help others learn these strategies, too. I don't think anyone should have to go at this alone.

If I had someone holistically coaching me along the way and holding me accountable, I think I would have healed faster and with more confidence throughout the process. Having a holistic health coach provides an invaluable sense of inclusiveness, worthiness, value, and love that is difficult to call forth alone, especially in the midst of struggle.
