My Story

For me, wellness is not just a hot topic. When I was a teenager, I suffered from a chronic health issue, and later in life, my mother was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer, so I know what it’s like to want control over your life despite your circumstances.

I remember my mother feeling overwhelmed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and wishing she had more guidance on what direction she should take with healing. At the time, additional professional support outside her medical doctors was almost nonexistent, so I immersed myself in learning and applying alternative strategies to help her heal from breast cancer. I remember there being so much confusing information and just wanting someone who had experienced just a piece of what she was going through there to guide us.

In total, three out of five of my maternal grandparents’ daughters have been diagnosed with breast cancer, so I know breast cancer from many angles. I was also diagnosed with having the breast cancer gene BRCA1, signifying that I am at high risk for breast cancer - or a previvor.

It’s definitely not easy but I understand how having the right mindset, eating the right foods, and reducing your toxin intake can lead to healing and ultimately better health. As a cancer previvor, these are all lifestyle changes I have made in my life to reduce my risk factor. I truly believe people can heal chronic illnesses and attain optimal health by learning the root causes and applying holistic and integrative healing solutions.  Your cancer journey is a marathon, not a sprint. And so my programs enhance current medical treatments, reduce cancer risks and promote healing after cancer.
