HOLISTIC JOURNEY
Explore My Journey in Nutrition, Diabetes, Weight Loss & Holistic Health
My deep passion for science, nature, and understanding how our world works has always been the driving force in my career. Early on, this curiosity inspired me to become a Research Scientist, working in various labs while pursuing my bachelor’s degree in the evenings. Over the past twenty years, I’ve gained extensive experience in infectious diseases, cancer treatment, biochemistry, and cell biology. However, I noticed a common theme in traditional medicine: it often focuses on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of illness. This insight became even clearer as I cared for my mother through serious complications from Type 2 Diabetes and later as I navigated my own journey with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). These personal experiences motivated me to shift my focus toward preventive and holistic healthcare, leading to certifications as a Holistic Nutritionist, Health Coach, and a Master’s in Complementary Alternative Medicine. Today, my heartfelt goal is to help others lead healthier, more balanced lives through integrative, holistic approaches.

The Philosophy
My journey into holistic health has shown me that true wellness is a beautiful dance between the wonders of clinical science and the gentle, restorative wisdom of nature. I genuinely believe that each person has a unique biological blueprint, so there’s no one-size-fits-all path to feeling your best. My approach is grounded in natural healing principles that focus on supporting your body's incredible ability to heal itself. We look at the root causes, use gentle and safe methods, and treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. I love empowering my clients to become teachers of their own health, helping prevent illness before it even starts. Key ideas I follow include the healing power of nature, uncovering and addressing underlying causes, and always respecting the principle of "First, do no harm" through gentle, natural therapies such as nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle changes. Guided by core values of honesty and mindful living, I’m here to help you reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom, encouraging a balanced, vibrant life from the inside out.
