My passion for holistic medicine, hormone health & fertility was born out of my own struggles and the loss of an ovary.
For as long as I can remember I struggled with digestive issues, low energy, anxiety and terrible premenstrual symptoms that left me in agonizing pain monthly which doctors brushed off as “normal’.
Conventional doctors handed me pills and I obediently took them, like most of you, in hopes that this would be my solution. I saw my first holistic wellness practitioner in 2015 and realized I had been given bandaids to a bigger problem. After a couple sessions at tackling the route cause, I felt like I had my life back (mostly).
Doctors continued to ignore my pain although my Naturopath & I knew it was a bigger issue. I was finally diagnosed with a 10cm borderline tumor on my left ovary in 2018 which cued up 2 surgeries for me, one including the removal of my ovary and my subsequent frustrating battle with hormone problems.
This sparked an interest in fertility and I began to endlessly research and absorb all fertility related knowledge. I graduated as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist in 2020 and am currently enrolled to become a Fertility Doula summer 2021.
I chose this path because I never want another woman to go through this health journey alone and lost like I was for so long.
The immense positive improvements I saw from implementing small sustainable changes pre and post surgery with the guidance of a wellness practitioner (like incorporating new foods into my diet and limiting others) left me empowered and with a need to teach others the same. I want you to feel those exact same feelings and more! Through friends and families struggles, I also understand the fertility journey can be quite exhausting, lonely and scary.
The loss of my ovary taught me so much about trauma and advocating for yourself, I want to be the light that guides you effortlessly through those confusing times.
