For years I suffered from horrible migraines. I went to doctor after doctor and they did test after test just to tell me everything looked normal. I was so frustrated because I didn't feel normal. I would get migraines on a regular basis and the only way to get them to go away was to go to bed. That is all great and fine except when you work full time and are a mom full time, so many days I suffered just waiting to go to bed.

One night I was scrolling Instagram and I saw a post about gluten and bloating (not migraines!) and thought more about the fact that I was so bloated and decided to try going gluten free. I felt really good until I accidently had gluten two weeks later and guess what was back... a migraine! I originally went gluten free to help with bloating but it ended up being the root cause of my migraines too! Without bloating and migraines, I was finally feeling great!

I became frustrated that no doctor ever asked me what I was eating when I came in complaining of migraines. I realized that I needed to be my biggest advocate and also had a desire to start helping people be their own advocates.

I decided to get my health coaching certification and completed that the summer of 2023 through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition (IIN). Through my own journey I happened upon epigenetic hair analysis testing and after doing one for myself, I decided I wanted to help others get to the root cause of their symptoms by testing instead of guessing too. In the summer of 2024 I became a Certified Holistic Nutritionist in order to start partnering with a company called For Healthy Cells where the hair analysis testing comes from.
