I developed my first health challenge when I was just 17.

I had no idea where it was going to take me…

When I was 17, I developed my first health challenge. I developed severe digestive issues. I went to the doctor and was told, incorrectly, I had Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I was told not to worry it wouldn’t develop into to something more severe. It was due to stress… and I just had to live with it.

So I went about living with it. I managed my symptoms by eating as little as possible, basically one meal a day. I had started working as a model at 16, so noone complained about how thin I was.

What I didn’t know was I was setting the stage for a long journey of health issues.

Poor digestion, unhealthy dietary habits, and the resulting nutritional deficiencies created the environment that made my body unable to fight off infections.

So when I was exposed to mold and later lymes disease my body didn’t have what it needed to heal.

Because the root of what was wrong was never addressed my health deteriorated into a major health collapse in my mid-thirties that made walking 3-blocks a challenge. 

At 25, I had started my own production company for fashion photography. I did this for a few years until I transitioned to the production side of the film industry. I was young, and I was ambitious.

The problem was that during most of that time I was suffering from one health issue or another.

At the age of 28, unable to handle the stress I was experiencing on my job due to fatigue, I quit. I knew this wasn’t the life I wanted for myself.

I began to wonder what else I could do. The Internet didn’t exist yet, so I went to the library and checked out books on subjects I liked.When I returned home, I sat on the floor with the books all around me. As I looked at all the titles a light bulb went on; every book I had checked out had something to do with health.  That was it!

I knew then that healthcare was what I wanted to do. But not just any healthcare, because of my own experience with poor health, I knew I wanted to learn a health care system that bridged the gap between the tests medical doctors do for diagnostic purposes, and natural methods that would actually help a body heal.  I started my first college course two months later. I couldn’t have imagined then where this journey would take me.

My journey to true healing began… 

Let’s jump a head about 6 years, I have graduated Chinese Medical School and was just beginning my practice, but even though I was now a health practitioner, I was getting sicker.

I was applying what I had learned, seeing good practitioners, and yet I was just getting worse.

This was when I knew I had to look deeper to find answers.

“I began to examine my diet even getting to the point of micro-managing it, because that was what I was taught to do. It helped a bit but I could tell it wasn’t going to fix my health on it’s own. I worked to “fix” my digestion, but nothing seemed to work long-term. I spent years trying to “fix my fatigue, to stop the pains I was experiencing, to just feel like I didn’t have the flu everyday.

I did everything I knew to feel better: I ended relationships, moved to different cities, and even took a 9 months sabbatical to just rest and heal. I kept looking for the “thing” that was going to make me feel better. I would take one-step forward and one and even sometimes two steps back. I’d solve one problem, only to have another show-up.

Then I realized that I was going about things in the wrong way. I was focusing on what was wrong, always finding something. I was trying to “fix” myself, as if I was broken. What if instead I built upon what worked? Instead of focusing on what didn’t work in my body, my life, my relationships, etc., I started to look for what was working. This changed everything. Mostly this changed my relationship to myself.

Today, I can say I am no longer a sick person. I no longer “struggle” to feel better, or “struggle” to have a different or better life. My life is pretty amazing. I have a beautiful husband, and two lovely step-children, a career I am grateful for everyday, and a body I love, and I mean truly love.

This experience and the 21 years I have been helping hundreds and even thousands of people improve their health, is how I developed the philosophy that is the foundation for everything I do. It is what informed Body Stress Analysis, the system I created so it doesn’t require a lifetime to heal, a system that helps you become the best version of yourself, and puts care back into your healthcare.

Because this is true, I have designed a system that is customized
to each individual’s needs.
