About the Teacher
Why study with them?
As a professional fitness athlete, Elite Strength Coach/ Fitness Expert, and an Integrative Health Practitioner, C. Psych Therapist, Resilience + Body Image + Confidence therapist, Life Coach, Educator & Author for over 34 years, I have been dedicated to helping others my entire life...
I followed the path of Naturopathic medicine, not to be a doctor in a clinical setting, but to round out my understanding of the human condition, having the knowledge of the body systems, so I could work with more effectively with people to heal emotionally. My experiences lead me to a Masters in Counseling Psychology because I had such passion for looking a deep human issues that somatize through physical symptoms. With diverse clinical experience, I quickly realized that my work was not congruent with the conventional world of medicine or Psychology. As a pioneer in the health, fitness, psychology and resiliency space, I have made it my mission to REVIVE women from the depth of despair, dis-ease and emotional adversity, both physically and emotionally. On a personal note, I am married to the love of my life, Nathan and we have two beautiful sons.
My Cancer Story
On February 14, 2022, I was diagnosed with a rare blood bone/marrow cancer called Multiple Myeloma and within 8 months, I went through an toxic induction period of
chemotherapy, an autologous stem cell transplant, with a broken spine and achieved remission. During that period of time, I used all of my emotional strength, resources, knowledge and education to support myself with non-conventional, non-toxic Integrative therapies/medicine and holistic nutrition, so that I could support my body and truly heal once and for all.
This “cancering process” was not a result of poor dietary habits, genetics, or lifestyle… I believe that my cells were listening to the HAVOC I was causing to myself-physically &
emotionally and for my radical healing to happen, it involved getting very intimate with the pressure I was putting on myself to be PERFECT in every way, professionally, physically & personally. I had some soul searching to do! Cancer does not have to be a DEATH sentence, although conventional toxic treatment approaches will kill you, if you lack knowledge & resources to damage control! Cancer is in my opinion, is a lack of systematic balance because a “healthy” person is
not supposed to get cancer. So obviously, I was "out of balance" in many of my terrains, despite my extremely healthy lifestyle!
I was carrying so many emotional wounds that I couldn’t let go of, and it finally manifested into “dis-ease” as a feared it would...MY CELLS WERE LISTENING. I had to figure out what was out of sync! Yes, I did the conventional treatment to put out the fire, but I was also doing a lot of Integrative Oncology and Integrative Nutrition/Supplementation & Exercise to support and mitigate any side effects, symptoms, and for prevention of reoccurrence. Now, main focus is supporting my immune system, my metabolic health & finding more JOY in my life, so that my terrain is inhospitable to Cancer.
My tenacity, grit, and resiliency are my psychological assets.
