A Holistic Approach to healing.

I’m so grateful to have found a holistic alternative to traditional medicine.

Have you ever had something come into your life at just the right time?

My youngest son was really struggling with his mental health during high school. He started having anxiety, depression, and panic attacks and was combative and angry. He was also experiencing stomach aches, nausea and weight loss. He was barely eating, never hungry and getting super skinny. He was barely getting through the school day.

High school was unbearable, he wanted nothing to do with friends or family, he became very depressed.

Maybe you too have a child that is struggling, you can understand how helpless that feels.

We went to doctors and therapist. We had tests run with no answers. I was being told that they couldn’t find anything physically wrong with him, his bloodwork and tests were “normal”

We were given stomach medications and offered SSRI’s but that was just a Band-Aid approach and not addressing what was causing it.

He was insistent that many of his friends that were on SSRI’s and other medications for anxiety, depression or attention disorders were miserable on them. Ultimately, he refused to take the medications.

I started asking myself what else I could do? It seemed to me that with all of the physical symptoms going on that maybe if he felt better physically, he could feel better emotionally. That’s when I started looking into a holistic approach that could help him feel better.

We started working with a holistic Practitioner. She explained that there was definitely something physical going on in his body. She explained that the body needs certain nutrients in order to make neurotransmitters connected to our emotional health (ex. Serotonin and Dopamine) and beyond that, the gut had to be in good health in order to make that conversion. She set us on a path of healing and learned a lot along the way.

It was like a lightbulb going on

We took a deep dive into his nutrition and gut health. To his credit, he fully participated in making diet changes. He really wanted to feel better. We worked hard to clean up his diet focusing on healing his gut, which was full of bad bacteria and yeast.

Slowly he began to get his appetite back, the nausea stopped and what was even more amazing was that his mental health started to improve. He started engaging in life again.

The body has the amazing ability to heal!

I knew I wanted to share it with others.

This started my journey to becoming a Holistic Health Coach certified in Functional Nutrition

Getting the body to a healing state and balanced is the key. I would love to help you on your healing journey.
