How did an LMT end up on the road to being a health and wellness coach, a nutritionist, and an herbalist? Good question. 

My Story....

Looking back, what led me to this exact time in life is definitely a winding road. In 2016, while helping my husband during the annual De Leon Peach and Melon Festival, I suffered a heat stroke. After a few days I thought I had recovered and was good as new. No, I was not. My body started telling me immediately that it was exhausted. So exhausted I couldn't participate in the things that I wanted to do with my family. Over the next few years, I saw numerous doctors who all said the same thing, "There's nothing wrong with you." However, I knew there was. After feeling like my needs were not being met by traditional Western medicine, I sought the help of a naturopathic doctor in the metroplex. Right from the beginning I loved this doctor. She listened and not once did she negate my feelings or dismiss the fact that I knew my body wasn't working 100%. I left with a protocol she made for me specifically, herbal tinctures to get me back up and running, and a food plan to get to help give my body the nutrients it so desperately needed. The only downside to all this was having to drive sometimes three plus hours to get from my home to McKinney, Texas. I realized that there was a large part of rural North Central Texas that was lacking in holistic care of all kinds. I am a big proponent of listening to your body and giving it the things that it needs. 
Through this journey I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and am now working to add more holistic health options for my current clients and the clients I have in the future. I fully believe that through the gifts the Earth gives us, we can heal our bodies, have happier lives, and enjoy our days to the fullest.
