my journey TO

Becoming a Clinical Herbalist

Early Passion for Strength & Fitness

After the birth of my third child in 2008, I jumped into training for Strongman competitions, a natural extension of my long-time passion for weightlifting. Just four months postpartum, I competed for the first time and took second place. For the next year, I pushed my body to its limits, but after my final competition, I suffered a bulging disc in my lower SI joint. While I initially recovered, the injury became a recurring issue, and soon, pain started spreading up my spine.

Struggles with Chronic Pain

What began as localized back pain soon escalated into debilitating shoulder and neck pain, triggering three-day migraines that no medication could relieve. Specialists ran tests but found no clear cause, leaving me with little more than guesses and ineffective treatments. One doctor suspected fibromyalgia and prescribed Lyrica as a diagnostic tool—if it worked, I had fibro; if it didn’t, they would refer me to pain management. When neither approach helped, I was left without answers and forced to give up weightlifting, a passion I had pursued for 20 years.

Discovering Natural Healing & Herbalism

After two years of searching for relief, by the grace of God! I met a nurse who specialized in natural healing through nutrition and supplements. Within just two weeks of making dietary changes and adding targeted supplements, I was able to work out again—something I had thought impossible. I had always considered my diet reasonably healthy, but I learned that my body couldn’t tolerate certain foods and that nutritional deficiencies played a major role in my symptoms.

Turning Point: Embracing Herbalism

A year later, I was introduced to a local herbalist who was helping a friend of mine. Through her, I discovered the incredible power of herbs and natural healing. The idea that I could step into my backyard, pick a plant, and use it for medicine was life-changing. I had spent years relying on doctors for every health issue, but now, I was learning how to care for myself and my family in a completely new way. This realization marked the true beginning of my journey, and in 2011, I committed to formally studying herbalism—a path that has transformed both my life and my work.
