In 2016, she graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and The Invincible Wellness System.

Through her journey, she has had to solve many health issues within her family including her son suffering from leukemia at the age of nine, her daughter having allergies, anemia and asthma, her husband having heart issues, her other daughter having comprehension and learning issues, in addition to headaches. This of course is on top of her own issues with fertility, hormones, adult acne, IBS, digestive issues, heavy metals and much more. She has had to connect the dots and realize what was causing all of these issues and what the solutions were, which also of course involved the mind body connection. A lot of the same solutions that heal the gut or the brain are the solutions that help achieve weight loss, improve fitness and restore metabolic health. With that, she has devoted her life to providing guidance and all natural health supplements and solutions that heal the body and the root problems, not just addressing the symptoms.
