My story:

For most of my life, I struggled with chronic health issues, searching for answers in a system that often treated symptoms rather than root causes. After decades of trial-and-error treatments, medications with frustrating side effects, and mounting healthcare costs, I found myself at a breaking point.

In March 2023, a prescription intended to help me left me feeling weaker than ever. That night, as my partner monitored my dangerously low blood pressure and heart rate, I made a life-changing decision—I refused to be a test subject for traditional medicine any longer. I was done waiting for answers. It was time to take control of my own health.

I dove into research and discovered functional medicine. Dr. Mark Hyman’s work resonated deeply with me, and through my studies, I found a functional medicine doctor who truly listened. She guided me through lab work, a 21-day elimination diet, and key lifestyle changes. I followed her recommendations, and my life transformed in ways I never imagined possible.

Not only did I reclaim my health, but I also found my true passion and purpose—to become a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC). I left my job that winter and enrolled in the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy, dedicating myself to learning how to support others through their own “SOS” moments.

Looking back, I now see how every path I’ve taken—public relations, planning, administration, education, political campaigning, and traditional healthcare—was preparing me for this moment. My experiences gave me the ability to empathize, support, and hold space for others without judgment.

My journey has taught me the power of small, sustainable changes that snowball into lasting health and happiness. I’ve experienced firsthand the resilience it takes to break free from autopilot and step into a thriving, active life. Now, as the founder of Seeds of Serenity, I am here to guide others on their path to wellness, helping them find clarity, confidence, and control over their health.

If you’re ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you.
