How LifeStyle change transformed my life…
Why I'm Passionate About Lifestyle Change: My Healing Journey 👇
My passion for lifestyle change isn't just professional it's deeply personal. I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of healing through whole foods, supportive herbs, and intentional movement. Through my own journey of research and discovery, I learned something that changed everything: many diseases can be prevented or even reversed through lifestyle change.
My Journey to Healing
For as long as I could remember, my body struggled. In elementary school, I was diagnosed with acid reflux. Irritable bowel symptoms bloating, gas, and frequent diarrhea were just part of my everyday life. I had an unhealthy relationship with food, though I didn't understand why at the time. It took years to realize that food could actually be medicine and healing, as long as we're eating the right foods.
Then came the diagnosis that changed everything: moderate cervical dysplasia…atypical cells that could develop into cancer. My doctor presented one option: a procedure to heat and remove the cells. But this procedure carried risks I wasn't willing to accept, including potential fertility issues like difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to full term. With one son already and hopes of expanding our family, I couldn't move forward with surgery. As well as feeling lead by God to say “no” and explore other otions.
Choosing a Different Path
Prayer became my powerful guide during this uncertain time. I felt led to research natural ways to support my body's own healing capacity. I committed to:
Prayer as my foundation
Herbal support tailored to my body's needs
Whole foods eating, focusing on anti-inflammatory foods and herbs
I won't pretend it was easy. I spent countless hours researching and planning. But over the course of about a year, something miraculous happened: I went from moderate dysplasia to mild dysplasia to a completely CLEAR cervix.
Praise God for His supernatural healing and for the medicine He created for us through herbs and whole foods. I can't imagine what my life would look like if I had chosen surgery. Since then, my husband and I have been blessed with two more healthy pregnancies! 💚
The Ripple Effect of Healing
The healing didn't stop there. Since my complete diet makeover and lifestyle transformation, I no longer struggle with irritable bowel syndrome or acid reflux. These conditions that once defined my daily life simply... disappeared. I also learned to love food, and eat in a way I didn’t regret, but felt truly nourshed.
Now you can see why I'm so passionate about lifestyle change.
From Nurse to Nurse Coach
As a registered nurse, I spent years administering medications and walking alongside people as they battled sickness. While medication has its place, I witnessed too many people never addressing the root causes of their health challenges. That's why I'm incredibly excited to partner with others as a Board-Certified Health & Wellness Nurse Coach, helping them discover their full healing potential.
As a nurse coach, I work with clients to achieve their health goals through trust, connection, and accountability. This isn't about quick fixes…it's about sustainable transformation that honors your whole person: mind, body, and spirit.
