My Story

​My story starts with tough times but has a happy ending. About six years ago, I started learning how to be healthy. At the time, I was leaving a hard marriage and becoming a single mom. I weighed 215 pounds and didn’t really know what being healthy meant.

I wanted to be better for my son. Now that I was raising him on my own, I knew I needed to live a long, healthy life. I also wanted enough energy to keep up with him. Through some big lifestyle changes, I lost 65 pounds. While I figured out how to lose weight, I still didn’t understand what my body needed to truly thrive.

Then 2020 came, and everything changed. COVID hit, and I started asking a lot of questions. At the time, I worked as a pharmacy technician—a job I had for 22 years. But when the pandemic began, things didn’t add up to me, and I started looking for answers.

Around the same time, my best friend was diagnosed with breast cancer. My world fell apart. I went to doctor visits and chemo sessions with her, and it broke my heart. She wasn’t treated like a person but like just another number. It felt like the system cared more about money than people.

In 2021, I decided to leave my pharmacy job. I was being pressured to get a “shot” I didn’t trust, and I was bullied about my decision not to get it. That was the final push I needed to walk away. I started working in cannabis sales and later became a licensed medical cannabis consultant. Stepping away from that toxic industry felt freeing.

But my best friend’s health got worse. Her cancer spread everywhere. I was heartbroken and desperate to find something that could help her or others like her. One night, while searching the internet and crying, I found a website for the Energetic Health Institute. I watched videos by Dr. H and knew I’d found my purpose. Two weeks later, I enrolled in their Holistic Nutrition program.

A month after I started school, I lost my best friend. I’m so grateful she knew about my new path. I feel like she’s been with me every step of the way, helping me believe in myself, even when it’s hard. On graduation day, I know she was there in spirit.

I’ve also faced my own health struggles. I’ve had endometriosis since I was 15. Doctors told me the pain was “all in my head,” and I was desperate for relief. After years of bandaid fixes, I had a hysterectomy.

Even though I lost faith in the medical system, I always saw myself as a healer. I just needed a push to find my path. Through this journey, I’ve changed my life and my family’s life for the better. My son now shares what he’s learned about healthy living with others.

I’ve become a gardener, growing my own food, a bread maker, and a chef who loves tweaking recipes to make them healthier. I’ve learned the value of meditation and taking time to reflect. Grounding and earthing have helped me focus on what matters most.

Dr. H taught me to trust in life’s perfection, even when things feel far from perfect. Now, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I have big dreams that are starting to come true, and I can’t wait to share them with the world. I know that if I can do it, anyone can! Let me help you take the first step in helping your dreams come true!
