My healing voyage began at age 19. I was surprisingly diagnosed with a nodule on my thyroid — no answers, just a pill, and continued “in range” labs. This Hypo-Thyroid hormonal imbalance expressed itself in chronic fatigue, depression, mood disorders, adult onset acne, devastating monthly cycles, debilitating pms, impulsive behaviors, addiction, constant weight flux, cystic breasts, digestive imbalance, reproductive concerns, auto-immunity Hashimoto’s and eventually Adult ADHD.

By the time I was 27 the nodule grew to the size of a quarter. I had no guidance from the Endocrinologist on next steps other than “that is an option”. For the first time, I tapped into my own inner teacher and made the biggest decision of my life without anyone else’s opinion. The entire left lobe of my thyroid was surgically removed. The last 17 years I have been on a mission to integrate my life holistically. Learning what that really means and leaning on food, movement, mindset, and environment as a baseline to recovery. I know what its like to feel aimless, trying one protocol then the next. Finding some relief but never finding solid answers. And I know what is like to experience steady results through everyday devotion and practice.
