My health & wellness journey began a year and a half after starting my career as a Registered Nurse in a hospital setting. Day in and day out, my role was to care for people during acute illness. Although I loved caring for others and developing interpersonal connections, I felt I wasn’t quite doing enough to help my patients thrive. At that time my personal health issues led me on a journey to alleviate my symptoms by bringing a greater awareness to the food I was eating, my environment and lifestyle, my spiritual life and mindset. Reflection of my life and practices formed a new personal definition of healthcare encompassing all aspects of a person – mind, body, and spirit. I no longer wanted to provide care only during acute illness; I wanted to help others truly live.
