A 2016 study published by the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology journal estimated that endocrine disrupting chemicals such as those found in plastic bottles, detergents, pesticides, and cosmetics cost the United States more than $340 billion per year in health costs and lost earnings.

I have a M.S. in Biotechnology, worked in clinical research for end-stage liver disease patients, and completed a ½ year of medical school. Even with this background, I never considered the adverse effects of the cleaning products, air, water, or skin care products (just to name a few) in my home environment could have on me. I saw 22 healthcare providers before the 23rd finally asked me about my physical living space. That’s thousands of hours and dollars’ worth of treatments before anyone mentioned this crucial piece of information.
When I finally detoxed my living space and embraced a non-toxic lifestyle, I was able to heal. My body could function properly and embrace the supplements and dietary changes I had made, instead of fighting the intruders from my environment.
You don’t know which “green” products to choose
You’ve read articles encouraging you to embrace a non-toxic lifestyle but you don’t know whom to trust
You feel overwhelmed by all your research and don’t know where to start. Laundry detergent? Shampoo? Organic food?
You don’t want to waste time or money trying out the wrong things, but you desperately want peace in your body
I get it. I know exactly where you are right now, frustrated and confused as to why you are still not feeling better after all this effort trying to improve your health and find answers.
Are you struggling to manage your current diagnosis? Or maybe after all this time, are you still waiting for an official diagnosis or for someone to figure out what is wrong?
You feel horrible, miserable, and clearly having physical symptoms yet doctors or providers cannot diagnose you and so you continue to struggle. Or they have given you a vague diagnosis with not much more support to improve.
I know, because this was my story, too.
I struggled with my weight for most of my adult life. I felt swollen and gross. I suffered with autoimmune issues, gut dysbiosis, brain fog, headaches, fatigue, joint and nerve pain, and food sensitivities.
I sadly was a victim of toxic mold exposure, but did not know it for several years. The air and toxins in my environment were to blame but no one ever mentioned this connection to me! I was told I had chronic fatigue, depression, and irritable bowel syndrome (do not get me started on that term!).
Due to my debilitating health situation, I had to leave behind my dreams of becoming a doctor, eventually leaving medical school after ½ of my first year.
I finally found help after seeing almost 30 providers! I left the toxic mold environment and started to improve through diet and treatments, but knew something else was missing to truly regain my vitality.
I learned about environmental toxins and their adverse effects on human health. I researched and read as much as I could on the subject. I completely changed the way I cleaned and cooked. I overhauled my cleaning products, makeup, and skincare regime. I addressed my water and air quality. I truly began to heal when I detoxed my living space, and embraced a non-toxic lifestyle.
I was able to sift through all this information and implement different processes and I can show you how to do the same for yourself.
I adjusted my original medical dream and became an Environmental Toxins Consultant and Wellness Coach. I empower my clients to manage their own health situation by addressing their physical spaces to maximize their health potential and finally thrive.
If...
you desire a home environment that serves you and helps you to heal
you are tired of dealing with flare-ups
you feel overwhelmend by all the information on how to adapt a clean lifestyle...
According to an analysis by the World Health Organization (WHO), "an estimated 24% of the global disease burden and 23% of all deaths can be attributed to environmental factors."

Now more than ever is it vital that our home environments serve us and help us heal, NOT the opposite! Our houses should be welcoming and peaceful homes. Not allergy or headache-central. We now spend so much time indoors, working remotely, especially in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, so it is even more vital to address our indoor spaces.
I get it, you may have heard about clean living from lots of sources. There is so much information available around us and “clean living” is a buzz phrase these days. There are lots of videos, articles, and magazines selling quick tips on adopting a non-toxic lifestyle.
Maybe you think you can do this on your own, but the amount of information is overwhelming. It shouldn’t be too hard to make tweaks here and there and hope for the best, right?
The problem is, how do you begin? How do you start? Is there a specific order in which you should address this?
YES! This is exactly why I created my unique system to help you walk through the long and complicated process of detoxing your home from environmental toxins, while regaining peace with your body.
I created the "Heal My Sanctuary" program as a result of over a decade of spending time and money chasing various programs, trying treatments and different supplements, all without success. Those investments into my health could not work fully on me until I had addressed the toxins inhibiting me in my own environment.
Once I addressed and cleaned up my living environment and the products I used, I was finally able to heal. My body was not constantly flaring up in response to toxins but rather able to calm down and finally thrive.
It’s completely possible for you to eliminate or minimize your flare-ups, and finally thrive again! I did it and I want to show you how. This is not another elimination diet or a list of herbs, natural remedies, or supplements to try next.
This program is a unique, straightforward, and comprehensive evaluation and remediation of the physical state of your living environment.
You are not the problem. Your body is not the problem. It’s the toxins lurking in your indoor spaces and products that are holding you and your body back from achieving your best health potential.
Isn’t that a relief? It’s not in your head!
There is more and more research published about the effects on environmental toxins and human health. In fact, there is so much research, it can be hard to keep up with and know which information to trust.
You will eliminate or minimize your immune-related flare-ups and allergic symptoms within your home
You will feel empowered in your new knowledge of taking care of you, through your surroundings.
You will be educated and feel confident in making purchases for your home and all your products.
You will understand your body’s unique relationship with different environmental stimuli.
You will know exactly which products to use for you and your home, tailored to your unique symptoms and needs.
Weekly 1:1 60-minute sessions via video: You and I will meet every week for an hour via video call. We will explore the week’s module in-depth and review the previous week’s homework.
Comprehensive assessment: Before we begin, you’ll receive an assessment packet that helps you start the process of building awareness of your body. This assessment will help with goal setting and help me to understand how to maximize our time together.
Symptom tracker workbook: You will receive in the mail your own symptom tracker that I designed with clear instructions on how to use it. This is also a workbook for you to use as you explore various product recommendations and adjustments to your home environment.
Weekly worksheets, checklists, and homework: Every week, you’ll receive materials that correspond to the current module. I will give you plenty of resources to explore as well as concrete action steps to take at your own pace.
List of resources and recommended products tailored to your situation: Everyone is different. We have different skin types, hair types, and allergies. Given your unique situation, I will recommend different products to try at a variety of price points.
Email access in-between your weekly sessions: You have access to me in-between our sessions within the work week (M-F). Expect an answer within 2 business days. Longer questions will be explored at the next session.

Meal planning guide
Toxic mold intensive [detailed guide and resources for your personal education]
One 30-min follow-up session after completion of the program
Throughout this process, I will be your mentor and guide as you embrace a new non-toxic lifestyle, educate yourself on environmental toxins, and understand their impact on your overall health. You will feel empowered to make healthier decisions and purchases for your home and other products. You will feel confident maintaining this lifestyle and how to navigate social situations.
Before you move forward with seeking out yet another provider to help you, or purchasing even more treatments that you are not quite sure are having the intended effect, wouldn’t you rather try something simpler like improving your air quality, adjusting your grooming products, or buying a different water filter?
You don’t have to feel overwhelmed in this process, because I will be alongside you the whole way.
Don’t delay seeking the health and lifestyle you desire! You may feel hopeless and shell of who you once were, but that doesn’t have to be your forever story. Your body is an amazing being, able to heal and thrive once given the right environment.
We all know that you would never plant a tree inside a smoker’s chamber, but why is it we do not think about our own bodies in relationship to pollutants and toxins within our own environment? Your life, your soul, is worth so much to this world and those around you. You deserve to become the best version of yourself again, to thrive and enjoy life, but also to be able to complete the purpose you were created for.
You do not need to feel like this forever.
There is hope!
If you haven’t healed your physical environment and removed the environmental toxins triggering your immune system, then you have not tried everything yet.
