Have you ever felt alone in your health journey? Or left a doctor's office feeling disappointed by what they had to offer? Let me tell you, I’ve been there. I also know how it feels to come out the other side, feeling healthier, more confident and empowered. It all started 15 years ago, with the unexpected doctor’s advice that would change the course of my journey.
I felt nervous as I sat in the waiting room. At 22 years old, I had been struggling with chronic digestive issues for over a year. I’d already been to several doctors, and each time they told me they couldn’t help me, I felt more alone. These health issues were seriously impacting my quality of life, but I had no clue as to how to solve them.
I’d just graduated from an ecology undergrad program. Though I felt fluent in the language of forests, rivers and lakes, I felt mystified by my own body. I worried, how could I heal if I didn’t understand the problem? The longer this went on, the more helpless and confused I felt.
When I met with the gastroenterologist that day, I was desperate to find a solution. After a 15 min consult, I held my breath in anticipation as the doctor spoke. He said, “I don’t know what’s going on. But you’re entering a Master’s program, you’re a scientist. You can figure this out.”
OK, so maybe that sounds like terrible advice. Solve your own problem? Wasn’t that his job? Though I’d been looking for a guide to help me, I realized in that moment I needed to take agency over my healing. So I started researching. I poured over articles about gut health, digestion, food sensitivities, allergies, and more. I changed my diet, began working on my mental health, tried holistic approaches to healing my gut. The more I learned, the less mysterious my illness started to sound. And my digestion started to improve!
This kicked off a lifelong journey of learning holistic medicine and herbalism to heal my own body and mind. It wasn’t easy- and it took years of study, research and training, leading me to become the Clinical Herbalist I am today.
All this to say- I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by your health concerns, confused on where to start, and to feel like you're alone on this journey. I also want to share, what it took me 15 years to learn- you are the hero of your healing journey, but you don’t have to do it alone! There 100% IS a reason for the health problems you have, as mysterious as they may seem. There are steps you can take to feel healthier and more balanced. All you need is some guidance and a plan.
