About Me
I struggled with the many physical and emotional symptoms of undiagnosed Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease for most of my life. Even though I felt terrible, I was told I was “normal” and it was mostly attributed to anxiety. I always pushed through, but in my early twenties my life became seriously disrupted by Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Post Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) after the perfect storm of stressors that included trauma, exposure to toxic chemicals and mold, and profound grief. Unwilling to accept my declining health as the only option for my life, I threw myself into the world of alternative medicine, herbal healing, and low-tox/low-stress living and became obsessed with learning how to feel better and heal myself.
With consistency, perseverance, and knowledge, I restored my health and no longer suffer with the many debilitating physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms I previously did. I took an intuitive, empowered, balanced, and holistic approach to healing and achieved remission of my mast cell activation syndrome and chronic Lyme disease, reducing the rest of my chronic symptoms by 90%, which I have been able to maintain for over 3 years and counting. It wasn’t easy, but if it’s possible for someone like me, it’s possible for anyone. I’ve witnessed many others transform their health too. I know what it’s like to suffer, grieve, and lose hope, but I’m also an example of what happens if you keep going, surrender your journey to God, and commit to the healing process for your mind, body, and spirit.
My experience ignited a passion that has accumulated into years of unique medical, holistic healing & natural wellness knowledge. I feel called to help other people who desire quality truthful alternatives to the conventional medical system, so they can feel better a lot faster than I did. There are root cause answers for every chronic condition, and discovering them earlier can help prevent unnecessary progression of symptoms.
I am skilled in spotting the unique symptom patterns of mast cell disorders, Lyme disease and co-infections, parasites, hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, mold illness, and more. I am trained in positive psychology, motivational interviewing, functional bloodwork analysis, bioresonance scans, epigenetics, root cause and functional lab test analysis, toxicity assessments, and organizing step-by-step healing journeys.
My special talents include personalizing supplements for unique tolerances and sensitivities, teaching others how to live well with mast cell, guiding detoxification & rebalancing protocols, parasite cleansing, bringing awareness to toxic patterns in your life, facilitating emotional healing, and reconnecting you with your inner healing wisdom and natural rhythms.

Exciting News!
As of July 1, 2024, I am taking a leave of absence from health coaching to have our first child. What does this mean? I will temporarily pause taking on new clients and scheduling coaching appointments with existing clients to focus on rest and bonding with my baby. While I’m on maternity leave, Nic will assist me with lab reviews and Mandy will continue offering her coaching services. I’ll be transitioning to a more flexible, asynchronous work schedule once I return, allowing me to balance the work I do here at Healing Masters with the joys and responsibilities of new motherhood. If you are interested in working with me one-on-one, please fill out an application. You’ll be offered the option to join my waitlist for services, which is currently 3-6 months wait time. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this new chapter in my life.
