My Story

After having 2 kids, I really needed a form of Birth control that I could depend on. I knew I didn’t want to use hormones so I went to the dr to see what my options were. The dr convinced me to get the copper IUD because there were no hormones and she said there were no side effects besides heavy periods. I had the IUD for 10 years and didn’t really think anything of it. During the last 2 years of having it I started to struggle with my health and I didn’t know why. My moods were challenging, especially premenstrually, which made it really hard to be a mom sometimes. I had headaches that continued to get worse, some days I would have to go to bed and abandon all my duties. The digestive issues were quite mysterious to me, and I developed pretty severe fatigue, which really impacted my ability to function normally during the day.

I really wanted to regain my health and feel good because I felt very irritable around my kids, and I felt like I wasn’t being a good parent. (Even after spending years working on healing my mindset and emotional state, I still felt moody for no good reason. I did become a Certified Process Coach which gave me amazing tools,  I desired to be a health coach to learn what was going on internally.)

I had been studying health for many years, and doing all the things. But I still had my own health struggles that I was trying to figure out. I was eating healthy and taking supplements. My state of health was up and down but some things were definitely getting worse such as the headaches and digestive problems. This is when I really started to dive into research on how to balance hormones, so I could get to the root of the problem. 

My headaches were happening every week. I felt like crap. Then for a whole week, I had an excruciating headache that wouldn’t go away. That’s when,  during my period, my IUD fell out! When I was washing it off the copper disintegrated in my hands! That day I realized that the copper had been shedding inside my body for years, so I googled copper toxicity, I realized that I had many of the symptoms, finally, I had an answer to my debilitating headaches.

My plan was to detox, so I learned firsthand what to do, and what didn’t help. Through the challenges of the roller coaster of ups and downs, feeling better for a while, then reverting back, I tried many products and approaches.

After my IUD came out I had a very challenging month, I felt extremely wired and had a hard time sleeping so I was also very tired. I felt jittery, foggy, confused and overwhelmed! I tried to take zinc, but that made me feel worse.  Healing does take time so it can be discouraging when you thought you were better, then your period comes along, and it’s not easy. When I tried to detox I often felt worse, and some days I felt bad for no good reason.

I got trained in Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis which helped me make sense of what happens to the mineral system and the domino effects that excess copper and other heavy metals cause within the body. This helped me take the correct supplements which helped me regain balance again!

Through this process, it has become my mission to spread the truth about the IUD because there is a very long list of side effects, that are not acknowledged by Drs. So I help women in their 30s and 40s eliminate the after-effects of the IUD/ Pill so they can balance their hormones and get their energy and mood back. It’s important for women to regain their health so they can be present for their children and family, and so they can feel well enough to work and enjoy life!

My Philosophy of Care

I help women in their 30s and 40s eliminate the after-effects of the IUD/ Pill so they can balance their hormones and get their energy and mood back.

Holistic and all-natural is my approach. I use diet, herbs supplements and lifestyle changes to help you make lasting changes. I use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, and the DUTCH Hormones test to find out what's really going on with your body. I believe addressing your whole being is important including physical, mental and emotional health. I am a spiritual person so our work together is deep and transformational. I am accepting of your beliefs and help you gain more awareness and self-love. I help you release self-judgment for better self-confidence. I help support your body's strength + resilience for less stress and overwhelm.

My Inspiration

I have been interested in health possibly my whole life, but in my early 20's I went to massage school and fell in love with healing the body. I have really enjoyed learning about how the body works and how to improve it. I received coaching that helped me transform my life for the better, so now I help others with mental health and emotional trouble to resolve trauma and to increase self-love. I experienced many side effects from using the Copper IUD including Copper Toxicity so I decided to help women overcome and heal their bodies and minds.
