My Journey With Chronic Pain
Life has a way of nudging us towards our purpose often in unexpected ways. Like many others, I had my share of health-related challenges, both physical and emotional. Little did I know that these hurdles would ultimately become the stepping stones towards finding my passion. As a Wellness Coach, I have had the privilege of witnessing the remarkable impact that lifestyle changes can have on well-being. My health journey has been an equally profound and enlightening experience.
After college, I suffered from a lower back injury and struggled with pain for many years. Doctors told me I had to live with the pain. Feeling hopeless and discouraged with the medical community, I tried chiropractic and orthopedic massage which was the turning point that got me back on track. This healing journey inspired me to leave my Human Resources job and become a Massage Therapist.
Years later, I found myself on a better path but wasn’t feeling great. I spent lots of time and money to find a solution. Most doctors told me they couldn’t help me and I was just depressed. My symptoms ranged from fatigue, muscle, and joint pain, and gut inflammation to brain fog and anxiety. Thankfully, I found an amazing physician who listened to my story, sent me for specific bloodwork, and diagnosed me with Lyme disease. I never noticed a tick on my body or ever developed a rash. After a few rounds of antibiotics, I started to feel better.
Months later, I started having intense migraines and debilitating fatigue. I felt like I was dying and all I wanted to do was stay in bed. A neurologist sent me for a brain MRI and ordered more blood tests to identify other co-infections. I didn’t have any idea that a tick bite could result in other diseases at that time. The test revealed that I contracted Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever which is still a mystery to this day. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. Making lifestyle changes along with taking natural supplements and antibiotics helped me recover. Finding my wellness team took a while but I am so happy that I never gave up.

Finding My Purpose
Every challenge I faced was a valuable lesson, leading me closer to understanding the connection between habits, mindset, and overall vitality. Armed with curiosity, I delved into countless hours of research, immersed myself in various holistic modalities, and sought guidance from experts across the wellness spectrum. I was not only seeking answers for myself but also nurturing a burning desire to share the knowledge I gained with others.
For almost 2 decades, I have practiced Massage Therapy and specialize in pain and stress management which has completely changed my life and been a huge blessing. To make an even bigger impact, I went back to school again and became a certified Whole Health Educator™ and Wellness Coach. I am dedicated to empowering others to overcome obstacles and make sustainable lifestyle changes to become the best version of themselves.
