My health and wholeness story began when as a young child I dealt with terrible gas and bloating, anxiety induced asthma, and painful eczema. My mom deserves much of the credit for my launch into the holistic space as she was the one who first went looking for the root causes of my ailments. Over time, I took ownership of my own health and continued my exploratory journey that has continued to evolve over the last 3 decades. 

One of my major life experiences and understanding tipping points came through my role as a registered nurse. Always interested in the human experience, inspired by the caring ideas of Florence Nightingale, carried by my own beliefs that the body is innately designed to heal, and that miracles and healing still happen, unwittingly, I choose nursing as my primary profession. 

Gosh did I have many surprises ahead of me. After only a short 22 months of working as a bedside nurse I discovered how much dehumanization, disconnection, and dysfunction is happening within the conventional healthcare system. Instead of being encouraged to empower and challenge people to heal and reintegrate their body, soul, and spirits, I found myself being asked, even dictated to enable powerless behavior and encouraged to lead patients to believe the only help or hope for the human being comes by human logic and reasoning, evidenced biased research, pharmaceuticals, and expert opinions. 

As my own soul battled with this cognitive dissonance of what the rest of the world considered acceptable healthcare, I found myself disconnecting and depersonalizing from my own authentic self, supernatural beliefs, and values. The war within was great, and the only choices seemed to be internal disconnection or suppression. Well intentioned people encouraged me to stay in the field with suggestions that maybe “I needed to find a different role or department,” or “someone has to do it,” or the religious response of “it’s the charitable place to be.” 

As I fought to keep my humanity and kindheartedness, the dissonance battle raged on and I started to physically manifest symptoms of adrenal fatigue, apathy, low energy, irritability, and regular bouts of grief and depression as I just tried to survive. As it’s been said, “the body will express what the mind and heart suppress.”

It was also during this time I observed my mom’s journey through colon cancer, traveled nursed while living in my converted sprinter van full time, raced mountain bikes, and got married. Life continued to be a blur with only short moments of reprieve as I lived the life I was “supposed to.” Even through all of these challenges, I remained continually curious and in pursuit of what would mean and take to live an optimally healthy, joy filled, and thriving life. I really wanted to  move from surviving to thriving!

What I finally realized is that, as soon as humans disconnect from ourselves, from our God given identities. from creation, and from original design, our bodies, souls, and spirits start to separate from each other causing a “leaky human” (think leaky gut). If left in motion, the disconnection and separation leads to dysfunction, which can then lead to disease and death.

As this revelation unfolded, I started to apply my understanding of the principles of reconnection, (re) integration, wholeness to myself, my clients, my patients, my friends and my family, and I have seen it work wonders! Instead of loathing the system and my position, I started using my nursing training experience to delve into the research and I asked God for guidance. As He revealed the steps, I ordered and outlined a transformative step-by-step process that I believe everyone can implement to build whole health from the inside out.

My heart is to empower you to believe anything is possible as you create an environment for yourself and your family that facilitates reconnecting and integrating all of your human dimensions (body, soul, and spirit). I am here to encourage you to regain your energy and life’s momentum by providing you with an effective yet simple map that can be followed to set and keep the 9 Health Foundations in order. 

Once you have 9 Health Foundations in order, I believe you will find you have decreased inflammation, increased energy, clarity around how to tangibly apply the right health choices for you, and your body will be free to readily eliminate toxins so you can achieve whole, Tri Dimensionally Integrated health - Body, Soul, and Spirit!
