Hi! I’m Jennifer

My Healing Story

I suffered from under-diagnosed autoimmune issues for nearly 20 years. It started with a tentative diagnosis of Hashimoto’s in 2000. I ended up on thyroid medications, but it didn’t quite help the way they said it was supposed to.

Well, between moving to a new state, a new house, having a new marriage, my body was in a state of shock. It wasn’t long before I didn’t have much energy and the migraines started and they didn’t stop. The doctors did some tests and found a cyst on my skull right next to my ear. If they removed it, I would lose my hearing. That was a life-changing revelation. I was so scared. Was I going to lose my hearing? My life? I asked for six months to figure something out and they reluctantly agreed. I spent that holiday season pretty much tucked away in a darkened room, loaded up on pain medications.

Then, one of my girlfriends suggested I try her Chinese Medicine Doctor.

We did several lifestyle changes, mostly in my diet. It was hard, I didn’t want to cook when my head was throbbing, but then I started to notice it wasn’t throbbing so much. I didn’t need as much pain medication. Six months later, I visited the doctor – and the cyst was gone. My health steadily improved through diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices. I know it sounds cliche, but it really worked for me.

I had the energy and ambition to take a job as a nail tech and open my own salon. It was a huge amount of work and energy, but it was so rewarding. I loved helping people and having something to call my own.

But, my marriage started falling apart and my health issues started coming back. I slipped up and grabbed quick foods rather than healthy foods. I wasn’t exercising like I needed to. I tried to work with various holistic healers, but it wasn’t until I left the unhappy relationship (and lost nearly everything) and became my own person that I started to find calm and my center.

Still, those few years after were tough. I transitioned through several jobs with long commutes. It nearly destroyed my health.

It was by chance I started researching the ingredients in my food. I was shocked to learn my inflammation, digestive problems, pain, and fatigue could be caused by the additives in the food I ate. Out they went and within a few days, I started feeling better. In a few weeks, I could feel a huge difference. It wasn’t perfect, but it gave me a start.

In 2019, I enrolled in a health coaching program and really had my eyes opened. I learned about food and diets and applied that to my life.

The inflammation decreased, I could eat without pain or getting hives, I wasn’t in continuous pain all the time! I woke up one morning, got out of bed, and stood up. Do you know how many years it had been since I could just stand up? No creaking, moaning, or pain – just standing up.

I decided to teach this to other women; how to control their diets to reduce autoimmune pain and send their condition into remission. I cleaned up my past and started teaching women how they can do the same. I watched them heal themselves through food and lifestyle modifications, too! I have since made a commitment to dedicate the rest of my professional life to helping other women achieve autoimmune remission through healing their gut naturally.

Since then, I’ve worked with many private clients. I lived my dream of helping women feel better in their bodies and gain confidence when they take control and advocate for their own health
