My Story
How I healed multiple chronic diseases through two 30-day water fasts, and why I believe you can too.
For fifteen years, illness invaded almost every part of my life.
What began as endometriosis and PCOS in my teens compounded into a complex web of chronic illness, including Lyme disease and co-infections bartonella & babesia that went undiagnosed for 8 years, becoming chronic and completely debilitating. As my health declined, so did my world. The things most people take for granted, walking, working, making plans, feeling at home in my own body, became increasingly difficult. Until I was largely confined to bed for several years, living with constant, overwhelming nausea and pain, neurological symptoms, crushing fatigue, migraines, and a nervous system that felt permanently stuck in survival, fighting against an invisible attack.
I spent years searching for answers, trying treatment after treatment, hoping, praying, investing all my belief (and thousands of dollars) into each one.
What I discovered was that healing is rarely as simple as finding the ‘right’ treatment. In fact, the best known treatments for Lyme, which included spending two months in a clinic abroad, with antibiotic and detox IVs in my arms for 10 hours a day, hyperthermia treatments, stem cell injections, IVIG, Ozone, Plasmapheresis, ect, only left me sicker than ever before.
My greatest breakthrough came when I stopped fighting my body and began listening to it. During two extended water fasts, my symptoms reduced more radically than any other treatment. Inflammation settled. The pain and nausea lifted. My strength returned. My energy, vitality and mental clarity returned.
After my first 14 day water fast, followed by a 30 days fast, I had no endometriosis symptoms, and my hormones returned to perfect balance. After my second 30-day water fast, I had no symptoms of Lyme disease, and the infections were no longer present in my bloodwork.
Today, I live free from all disease and have experienced profound healing from symptoms that once stole my life. So profound, it is nothing short of a miracle to me.
I am now passionate about helping others experience the miracle of complete restoration from illness. Because I know what it feels like to be exhausted, scared, dismissed, and desperate for help. I know what it feels like to lose hope and wonder if your body will ever recover. And I now know what it feels like when it does.
Healing is possible for each of us. Not always in the way we expect. Not always on the timeline we would choose. But the body is far more intelligent than we have been taught to believe. They are not broken. They are often overwhelmed, inflamed, holding onto trauma, and screaming at us for the conditions they need to heal.
I am currently training under Tyler Tolman, the fasting coach who guided me through both 30-day fasts, to qualify as a coach myself, and welcome any emails or social media messages from anyone suffering from the conditions I have found relief from and are interested in the fasting process. As part of my training, I am also offering 60-minute consultations at student prices.
