Education
My training as a holistic health practitioner began in 2000 when I became a nationally certified massage therapist at the Chicago School Of Massage Therapy.. Working with the human anatomy has always been an inspiration to me because of all the body's amazing and fascinating aspects. Having had some digestive health issues myself, my intention was to get to know the body in a way that allowed me to work with it personally. Massage being hands on allowed me to get in touch with both my personal body and that of my clients.
After moving to San Diego, and still having digestive health issues, my hunger for how the body worked and why it seemingly was working against so many of us grew exponentially. I wanted to learn all I could about digestive health and what I could do to improve mine and educate others. I enrolled at the Inner Environment Institute and became a certified colon hydrotherapist. Through this educational experience, it became very apparent to me that our bodies were not, in fact, working against us, but working with us.....giving us clues that it is out of sync when it is in distress or pain and that the majority of our health issues are directly related to our digestion and bowel function. After completing school I was blessed with having my own colon hydrotherapy business, Internal Cleansing Center in San Diego. Focusing on nutrition and digestion became a passion of mine....one that I still motives and inspires me.
In 2013 I enrolled at the Institute For Integrative Nutrition and learned on a deep level how to integrate not only my passion for nutrition and cleansing, but how external factors such as lifestyle, stress, physical activity, relationships, our professions, our spirituality and belief systems, and all other aspects of life outside of physical nutrition, directly impact our health as well being. When you put the pieces of life together, see what aspects are out of touch, you develop your own personalized approach to health and wellness.
I personally have seen in my own life as well as the lives of thousands of clients I've worked with over the years a transformation in their physical, emotional, and spiritual health through the process of cleansing, detoxing, finding a nutritional plan that suites their "specific" needs, and being conscious of their life's process.
