A Journey of Self Discovery

I’ve shared my journey on podcasts, speaking about how I came to study healing plants and holistic wellness. After struggling with mystery symptoms for four years and consulting over 20 doctors without clear answers, a friend introduced me to the possibility that my health challenges were linked to Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus (often associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

As a driven professional, I had been overworking to the point of burnout. This revelation set me on a profound healing journey—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—where I dedicated myself to researching and applying natural methods for daily recovery.

Now, I use the insights gained from my own experience to guide others suffering from chronic illness. I believe nature’s wisdom holds the keys to true healing, and I’m committed to helping others restore their vitality and reclaim their lives.

Feeling Exhausted No Matter What You Do?

Living with Chronic Active Epstein-Barr Virus (CAEBV) or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) can feel like being trapped in a body that just won’t cooperate. No matter how much you rest, the crushing exhaustion lingers. The brain fog makes it hard to think, the body aches feel endless, and simple tasks that used to be effortless now drain you completely.

You may have seen doctor after doctor, only to be met with frustration, confusion, or a lack of real answers. Perhaps you've been told that your labs are “normal” while inside, you know something is deeply off. You’re tired of feeling dismissed, and even more tired of chasing solutions that don’t work.

I See You. I’ve Been There. And I Can Help.

I know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming this journey can be—because I’ve walked it myself. I also know that healing is possible when we work in alignment with nature and give our bodies what they truly need.

Through my Guided Health Immersions, I provide a structured yet compassionate approach to help you regain your energy, reduce symptoms, and reconnect with your body’s innate ability to heal. Using plant-based support, nourishment, detoxification, and lifestyle strategies, we’ll create a plan tailored to your unique needs.

You don’t have to do this alone. Healing takes time, but with the right guidance, you can reclaim your vitality and start living a life you love.

Guided Health Immersion Packages

I offer 6, 9, and 12-month guided health immersion packages designed for those ready to break free from fatigue, burnout, and chronic illness. This is more than just a program—it’s an investment in your well-being, helping you restore vitality, resilience, and a life you truly love.

With monthly one-on-one sessions, I provide personalized guidance, accountability, and expert support to help you navigate your healing journey with clarity and confidence.

I’m here to listen, synthesize your thoughts, and help you reach your top goals. After reflecting on your needs, I provide well-researched, integrative, earth-based suggestions to guide you toward success.

I also teach you practical tools for when you experience flare-ups or feel far from okay—empowering you to become self-sufficient in managing your health. Through it all, I’ll walk beside you with compassion and encouragement, ensuring you feel supported every step of the way.

This journey requires your full commitment to making lasting changes, and in return, you will have my full commitment to your healing and success.

Testimonials

  • “I had no idea how powerful herbs are, I’m so glad they are now a part of my daily life!”

My Approach

I love working with clients who are committed to the daily work required for lasting health and longevity.

To ensure you receive the most comprehensive support, I limit the number of clients I work with each week. This allows me to offer you both my expertise and my humanity in every interaction. I’m dedicated to drawing from my education, experience, and resources to provide you with practical, actionable recommendations that truly make a difference in your healing journey.

I understand that each client has unique circumstances, so I take into account your budget, time, and energy when crafting your wellness plan. You’ll receive links to purchase all recommended items, and I aim to keep it simple—suggesting only one or two trusted sources. Whenever possible, I pass along discounts to help make this journey more accessible.

In your protocol, I’ll not only tell you what to do but why I’ve chosen each element and how it addresses your specific needs. Plants are incredibly versatile, and each multitasker in your plan is carefully selected to maximize your healing potential.

I believe in full transparency. I don’t hold back because I know that honesty is key to your success. Where others may offer partial advice, I include as much education as possible to help you understand why you’re making these changes—empowering you to stay committed and see lasting results. I want you to confidently return to your protocol as you move forward, knowing exactly how each part works for your healing.

Understanding Chronic EBV

I gave a presentation on Understanding Chronic Active EBV to Herbalist colleagues in one of my Herbalism classes at the end of 2022.

It details truths about EBV, how I came to specialize in helping people heal from it, associated conditions, and common patterns in those that suffer.

It covers predictable triggers that cause EBV reactivation, which body systems to support, holistic guidance on nutrition, as well as, recommended supplements, lifestyle interventions, and botanical advice to help you improve.
