Knowing that my anxiety was contributing to my poor gut health, and with the experiences of being in and out of the doctor’s office, with no one to guide me through the exploration of gut health, I eventually realized it was up to me to learn how to balance my gut, my health, and my life. The beautiful thing about this was, even though it has shown up like a chronic illness, it has absolutely made me revisit the health of my relationship to self, to others, and to the planet, and because of that, other areas of my life started to improve as I learned how to weave creation, intention, and responsibility together into a new internal dialogue and identity. 

​

Because I had to learn how to balance natural wellness with traditional medical care due to insurance lapses, I learned how necessary traditional medical science is in our lives and how it can be effectively used in complement to the holistic and natural strategies that work best for me.

 

Because of this health journey, I have learned…

-so much about my own anatomy and how it interacts with the energy systems inside and outside of me.

-how important our food is to all aspects of our health, including the clarity of our thinking patterns and decision-making.

-to always listen to my gut and my heart.

-that my body always knows what’s best for me.

-that the emotions and sensations in my body are both signals for communication, and information about what is going on around and inside of me.

-that medical science doesn’t have all of the answers, nor is it the end-all for finding solutions to health and wellness

-that everyone’s definition of healing and wellness is unique to them, their internal landscape, their resources, their histories, and their needs. 

-what foods my body will and will not allow!

-and so much more than can be named on a page.
