So you want to know how a kindergarten teacher became a personal energy coach?  LIFE that is how and here is the story...

​

I was a very active child that struggled with aches and pains from a very young age.  I truly did not know life was not suppose to feel this way.  I went to doctors as a young child often due to constant stomach pains.  As I entered high school my pains began to increase.  I had a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis which was at least one piece of the puzzle of pain.  I stayed physically active and pushed on through the pain. I began having what I know now as POTS (postural orthostatic tachacardia syndrome) symptoms.  There were times that I be physically present but my brain could not process what was happening during sport games.  I don't recall many games due to this but just like many I just pressed on.  Doctors tried guessing at what it could be and tried medication and diets never finding anything that helped.  

​

I had a few head injuries throughout my athletic career and began to have migraines. They did not come often but I was very aware when they did come.  By college I just accepted that this was my path and the struggles I would ALWAYS face.  That was until I went to one final well known doctor who proceeded to tell me that everything I was dealing was all in my head and I needed to see a psychiatrist.  

 

I was determined to prove him wrong!

 

I started to seek help with other doctors and most had no idea what it could be.  I finally made the journey to the Mayo Clinic which finally provided answers.  So now my list of diagnosis looked like this:

​

POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachacardia Syndrome)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Endometriosis

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)

Fibromyalgia

Lichen Sclerosis

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

Peptic ulcers

Fibrocystic breast disease

EDS/Joint hyper mobility

Non specific Mast Cell disorder

Anxiety 

Depression

**Multiple medication allergies

​

Well I took my diagnosis and kept pushing on only managing my symptoms.  Taking 18 prescription medications a day!  

​

I was married in 2003 and had my daughter in 2008 which many doctors had told me that wouldn't be possible.  So here I was a new mom who struggled through pregnancy now looking at life in a whole different light.  I struggled with fertility for both of my children but after only a year and one surgery I was able to have my daughter.  However, my journey to having my son was not that "easy."  We had tried fertility treatments off and on with no luck.  More to come on this...

​

Almost 5 years ago, I had started a new antibiotic for a typical infection which gave me a headache but most medications caused some sort of side effect for me so I just ignored it and pushed on.  Three days into treatment, we had gone out with some friends for the evening and when we returned home I was just not feeling right.  I went to the kitchen after my husband and daughter were asleep thinking I just needed a snack.  While getting a snack I began feeling weak and thought I might pass out.  So I sat down on the floor so not to hurt myself in the fall.  I then lost all movement and muscle tone in my left side.  Feeling terrified, I called for my husband but nothing came out.  It was like a bad dream when you are screaming but no sound comes out.  I began banging on the floor with my right hand.  My husband heard me and found me laying on the floor but unable to respond verbally to him.  Needless to say we headed straight to the ER. Of course nothing was determined and they sent me home.  I had a horrible migraine the next day that continued for 3 years.  The only time I felt relief from the migraine was on a day that I would have another episode like the initial event.  Since doctors couldn't help or prevent these episodes from reoccurring I was unable to return to work.  I was a kindergarten teacher and loved every second of my job.  I pushed straight through college to get out and make a difference and here I was "stuck." I had a masters degree and no job to return to my future seemed full of dark clouds ahead.  I had to do something but what?

 

Through all of this I  tried to keep my head up and just focus on my family but something/someone was missing.  We decided to start fertility treatments in hopes of just accepting and more forward.  After 3 1/2 years of infertility treatments we took a break from it all.  I had been trying to find alternative management for my other health issues with not much success.   I came across an amazing woman who was an energy coach.  Okay, so what in the world is that?  

​

I didn't care!  It was worth a shot nothing else was working.  So I went to my first session and by the time I left the office I had some relief in pain level.  We had focused on the pain and I had mentioned the infertility as we went.  I thought hey that is better than nothing.  So when I returned about a month later I felt a little off but was not sure why.  I went home after my second session and thought I know the result but I needed to take a pregnancy test.  Guess what ...Yep I was pregnant!!!!!  She supported me throughout my pregnancy which was also very difficult on my body.  I was on bed rest with my daughter by 26 weeks and then again with my son at 24 weeks.  Both resulted in premature births but in the end healthy babies who needed the extra support of the NICU for at least a week.  I continued to do energy coaching and saw my body changing and healing.  I knew I had found something because my aches and pains were starting to disappear.  I now take 0 medications and feel like I am living again!!!

​

So I made a commitment to myself that I was worth healing myself which has made me a better mother, wife, daughter, and just an overall better human being.  When this certification program was developed by my mentor to become a practitioner, I joined immediately. I found hope in what my future held for me.  So I became a personal energy coach to help others overcome their obstacles and take their life back just as I did.  I would have never imagined the path I am on could even be possible much less a reality.   I am thankful for being open minded to the possibilities of healing alternatives.

So are you ready to...

Take back your life?  Make a commitment to yourself?  Stop masking symptoms with medication and HEAL?
