My 20-Year Wellness Journey

It happens all the time. A friend, a client, or a concerned mom reaches out, desperate to help someone they love and unsure where to start.

Most recently, it was a mother whose daughter is navigating breast cancer. She wanted to know everything she could do to support her—every supplement, therapy, and healing practice under the sun. I completely understand where that urgency comes from. When someone you love is hurting, it feels like doing everything is the only way to help.

She asked me, "How do you do all the natural health stuff you do?" And I had to laugh a little because I didn’t wake up one day with a supplement drawer, a magnet chart, and a castor oil collection. My answer was simple: "I didn’t start here. It’s been 20 years."

Every wellness journey starts somewhere

Mine started when I was sixteen and decided to become a vegan. It opened the door to learning about nutrition, experimenting with unfamiliar ingredients, and starting to understand how food impacts our bodies.

In my early 20s, I lived in the Hudson Valley of New York right as farm-to-table living was having its big moment. I learned about sustainable agriculture, shopping local, avoiding toxins in food and cleaning products, and began exploring my food sensitivities. I got really into juicing and dove deep into the world of wellness because I could. At that time, I wasn't working full-time, and I didn't have a child. I had the freedom and space to follow my curiosity wherever it led, and I took full advantage of it.

Then came my health crisis in my mid-20s.

Suddenly, I wasn't experimenting for fun—I was desperate to feel better. I tried infrared saunas, colonics, juice cleanses, all the supplements, acupuncture, and the autoimmune protocol diet. I began my deep dive into detoxification. That’s when I found biomagnetism, and it completely shifted the course of my life.

From Biomagnetism to Motherhood

Biomagnetism didn’t just give me my life back—it gave me the tools to become a mother. When I was sick, motherhood didn’t feel like an option. And even after I recovered, one of my biggest fears was, "What if I get sick again? What if my child is sick?"

Biomagnetism gave me the confidence to move forward and build a family. I knew I had the tools to support myself and my future child. That was everything.

At the time, I was still working in a hospital doing ultrasounds for high-risk pregnancies. That experience, paired with my pregnancy, sparked a deep passion for maternal health. I talked to every client about pelvic floor therapy, midwifery, acupuncture, doulas, everything I was learning and living.

My own postpartum season only deepened my love for homeopathy and herbal remedies. Eventually, biomagnetism took over my life in the best way. I built a practice as a new mom, placing magnets on my daughter and seeing incredible results. But that chapter also opened my eyes.

Motherhood Changed Everything...Again

Suddenly, I understood what so many of my clients had tried to tell me: doing "all the things" isn’t sustainable when you’re raising kids, running a household, working, or caregiving. I didn’t want wellness to feel like another chore.

That’s when my mission became clear: How do I simplify this? How do I make wellness doable, not overwhelming? Not just for myself but for the women I work with. I wanted to strip away the overwhelm, cut through the noise, and focus on what actually works. I began asking myself: What if it could be simpler? What if healing didn’t have to come with a to-do list a mile long?

I started streamlining everything, cutting out what felt excessive, focusing on what really moved the needle, and building flexible and sustainable routines. I wanted women to feel empowered, not exhausted, by their wellness routines.

Now? My wellness philosophy is terrain-based: support the whole system so it can support you. That means:

• Nourishing food

• Biomagnetism

• Homeopathy

• Acupuncture

• Chiropractic care

Simple. Sustainable. Rooted in resilience.

Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle

If you’re just starting your journey, don’t try to jump to someone else’s version of "doing it all." It took me 20 years of trial and error, reading, researching, testing things that didn’t work, and slowly shaping a lifestyle that actually fits me.

Your version will look different.

Your first step might be reading this blog post. It might be trying magnets for the first time. Maybe it’s drinking herbal tea or finally ordering that castor oil pack.

Whatever it is, it’s enough.

You don’t have to overhaul your life overnight. Just take one small, doable step. And then another. Eventually, those little steps add up to something powerful. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s momentum. And I promise, the magic happens once you begin.
