About me and Phoenix Rising Holistic Healing
You weren’t meant to just manage your symptoms—you were meant to understand them.
My Healing Journey
I was told for years that no one could fully explain what was happening to my body.
What began as strange, seemingly disconnected symptoms eventually became a debilitating chronic illness marked by MS-like neurological symptoms, brain lesions, visual disturbances, balance issues, difficulty eating and swallowing, and a nervous system that felt constantly overwhelmed. I searched relentlessly for answers through both Western medicine and the holistic health world, trying to piece together a path forward while living in a body that no longer felt like my own.
What I eventually realized was that my illness was not isolated to one diagnosis, one symptom, or one system of the body. After spending thousands of dollars pursuing both conventional medical treatments and alternative therapies, often with little lasting relief, I found myself exhausted by an approach that treated every symptom separately while no one seemed to be looking at the bigger picture.
One specialist focused on the neurological symptoms. Another focused on digestion. Another on hormones, inflammation, or stress. But no one was asking why my body was struggling as a whole.
Over time, I began to understand that my condition was deeply interconnected, shaped by layers of unresolved trauma, chronic nervous system dysregulation, food and environmental sensitivities, inflammation, and deeper imbalances affecting every part of my health simultaneously. My body wasn’t broken in isolated pieces. It was overwhelmed, dysregulated, and asking to be understood differently.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I had already spent years helping others improve their health through nutrition, diet, and lifestyle changes. Those tools became an important part of my own healing journey as well, but eventually I reached a point where I realized healing the body required going deeper than the physical alone.
That realization changed everything.
I began studying the connection between trauma, the subconscious mind, and chronic illness, learning how emotional patterns and nervous system survival states can manifest physically in the body and quietly interfere with healing. This journey ultimately led me to study hypnotherapy and integrate subconscious healing into my own recovery process.
At the same time, I began to recognize something I had intuitively relied on for much of my life, but had never consciously applied to the body in this way before. As I deepened my healing work, I found myself able to sense patterns beneath the surface, emotional roots, hidden stressors, energetic blocks, and overlooked triggers that often accompanied chronic symptoms. What once felt like a quiet inner knowing became an integral part of how I approach healing today, blending intuition with clinical knowledge, nutrition, and subconscious work to help people understand what their bodies may be trying to communicate.
By addressing both the physical and emotional roots of illness, I was finally able to experience profound healing, reclaim my life, and become stronger than I was before.
Today, my work is born from both professional training and lived experience. I help others uncover the deeper patterns contributing to chronic symptoms and reconnect with the body’s innate ability to heal through a unique blend of nutritional therapy, hypnotherapy, subconscious healing, and intuitive insight.
