So you were bloated because of the mold. Yes, and it’s a bigger deal than people think.
🌿
CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome). I was stuck in this the entire time of living there and even after moving out because my body was infected deep into its tissues and within my nervous system. And it wasn’t just feeling bloated it was a pain I could never describe for anyone to understand.
🌿
My hair was falling out, my nails were breaking, my skin looked awful, and I felt like death because I was decaying from the inside. Let’s think about it: what does Mold do? It breaks down and decays whatever it infests. And I was infected. If you look up mold/mycotoxin poisoning I checked off every box except for cancer and death.
🌿
I didn’t have an allergy or sensitivity before moving into that apartment but after living consistently in a contaminated environment it’s inevitable that anyone would become sensitive. Mold is toxic. Period. And I’ll discuss the mycotoxins they release and what they do later on.
🌿
Stay tuned

Mycotoxins are considered highly toxic and detrimental to human health. These microscopic spores that mold/fungi release are easily permeable. Because they are so tiny, all it takes is breath to blood, and they can and do go systemic. Meaning contaminated air that you are consistently breathing will transfer those mycotoxins into your bloodstream, and where does blood go? Everywhere in your body.
🌿
Mycotoxin spores are tiny, but they’re like tiny little razor blades, causing damage to the tissues they come in contact with. But they don’t just pass by, they attach. They attach to specifically soft and or fatty tissues, they begin to settle in and continue their natural nature of proliferation. Meaning that they begin to inhabit and grow in your body and on organs causing severe distress and even damage.
🌿
Mold/fungi spores love the brain and nervous system because they consist of more fatty tissue its easier for them to survive and spread. And because they are microscopic, they easily pass the blood-brain barrier, which will then result in distress of the brain, like swelling or brain fog, and distress in the nervous system and even the spinal cord. POTS is typically diagnosis from the medical field that you may get but in the holistic field, we check for mold/fungal infections to be the driving factor. Now, not all the time is this the case, but a lot of the time it is.
🌿
Mold/fungal infections cause more than just one issue in the body. My gosh, they caused more than 10 issues in my experience, but there will be more about those issues in other reels soon to come.
🌿
Stay tuned….

Welcome to part one of my healing journey through mold series.
🌿
I wish I could condense this series into 30 seconds reels to grab and keep your attention, but my journey was so intense and so detailed it’s impossible to do.
Mold is everywhere. That’s just part of life and unfortunately part of our environment that can play a crucial role in your overall health.
🌿
We often think of our health as just being our body internally and maybe externally like our skin, hair, nails, eyes etc. But in reality, our health is very much so dictated by the environment in which we live in. And if our environment is sick, then we too will fall ill.
🌿
My case was an extreme case, not everyone experiences mold toxicity at the level that I did. However, you may have had a run in with mold and not know it because mold causes an array of health issues.
🌿
This will be a long series, so bear with me! I don’t care to record myself, and quite frankly, I’m not the biggest fan of social media. However, my story needs to be told solely for the purpose of warning other who may be dealing with this and not know. And most importantly, to show those who have or are going through it that there is not only hope but LIFE on the other side. I completely healed from it and you can too.

With tick season upon us it’s important to be prepared.
🌿
I have done the research and hand crafted this tick and bug replant spray. Made with a blend of premium quality essential oils, neem oil, avocado oil, witch hazel, and distilled water.
🌿
This spray is for humans only so be mindful of wearing it around pets and do not spray on pets. I can make animal tick and bug spray that is safe for your furry friends upon request.
🌿
Regardless of spray or not it is always important to check for ticks especially if you live in a densely wooded area, but regardless of your area always check yourself, little ones, and your pets.
🌿
Lastly, if you have already been bitten by a tick, apply a drawing salve (which I also make), and it is crucial to seek care immediately. If you contract Lyme FEAR NOT! You and your pets can fully detox and fully heal from it. The road to recovery is long but I have seen people recover and live a pain free life again.

Your body is electric. There is actually a really great book called “Body Electric” by Robert O. Becker that discusses this in greater detail. I’m only going to touch on a snippet of that. Let’s talk about scars. A majority of the population has them, some minor, some pretty large. Scars from surgeries (inside and out), falls, piercings, and tattoos. Anything that cuts and disconnects the skin disconnects your electrical flow and nervous system. I’ll leave a few links in the comments if you’d like to explore this further.
🌿
All of these disrupt the electrical flow of your body and can cause neurological problems by compressing nerves. Scars disrupt the electrical signaling and act as chronic stressors on the autonomic nervous system. In my field, we often call this neurological switching. This can result in a multitude of issues such as: peripheral nerve pain, involuntary movements, epilepsy, disrupted sleep, anxiety, manic like episodes, vertigo, and chronic autonomic dysfunction like headaches or even digestive issues.
🌿
But there is hope. Some things can reconnect this electrical disconnect, but it varies from person to person. Sometimes cool red lasers help, wheat germ oil, sesame seed oil, coconut oil, h**p seed oil, olive oil, and several other oil-based supplements. How do you find what’s best for you? Come see me! I will muscle test you, the scar, and all the things to help you find relief and reconnect your electrical signal to calm, balance, and correct your nervous system. Relief is possible!
🌿
It is very important to note, though, that scars are forever, so whatever is found to help you is not a temporary fix; it is a lifelong thing that needs to be done daily or sometimes weekly for the rest of your life.
🌿
But there is hope for your nervous system, there is relief for you, and it’s easier than you know! Click the link in my bio to schedule your appointment. Let’s bring you back to balance.

Sauerkraut, a staple Polish dish that seems simple but provides nutritionally packed punch.
Adding fermented foods to your diet is crucial for your gut health and digestion.
🌿�Because it’s fermented, sauerkraut is rich in beneficial probiotics (live bacteria), which help to balance your gut microbiome. These beneficial probiotics play a role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and even help regulate your mood. There’s a strong gut-brain connection. A healthier gut microbiome has been linked to better mood and mental clarity.
🌿�The probiotics in sauerkraut help break down food more efficiently, reduces bloating, helps to alleviate constipation, and makes some nutrients easier to absorb.
🌿�A large part of your immune system lives in your gut. By eating more fermented foods, you’re supporting gut health and indirectly helping to strengthen your immune defenses.
Sauerkraut is rich with vitamins like C, K, and some B vitamins, plus minerals like iron and potassium
🌿�PRO TIP
Always go for raw unpasteurized sauerkraut (usually found in the refrigerated section). Shelf stable versions are often pasteurized, which kills off those beneficial probiotics.
If you’re new to sauerkraut, start slow. It’s an acquired taste that I highly suggest you obtain.
🌿
FUN FACT
If you struggle with sugar cravings, definitely add sauerkraut into your diet. It will help feed the gut microbiome and curb sugar cravings.

What is muscle testing? Muscle testing, often known as applied kinesiology, is a technique used to evaluate neuromuscular function by assessing muscle strength. Practitioners apply light pressure and resistance to check for “lock” or “unlock” response in specific muscles. This method is used to identify and detect imbalances in the body. It serves as a form of biofeedback often used to identify issues like structural dysfunction, food sensitivities, emotional distress, and nutritional deficiencies.
🌿
The “lock” muscle is a strong, stable muscle response that indicates proper nervous system control and structural integrity. The “unlock” muscle response is sudden, momentary weakness, or “unlocking” in the muscle test that suggests a blockage, distress, or sensitivity. This technique is all part of a functional nervous system response, indicating that there is a disconnect or disharmony in the body.
🌿
Muscle testing practitioners use this technique to identify musculoskeletal structural issues, allergies, gastrointestinal problems, distress in organs, food sensitivities, infections, parasites, hormonal imbalances, gene expressions, and more.
🌿
This testing creates a more personalized approach to health and helps to find the underlying causes of symptoms. While this is not a form of diagnosing, it is a quantum conversation with your body to figure out what is causing an imbalance or disconnect within, and then “reconnecting the disconnect” to bring your body back to balance and harmony.

Diets don’t work. Lifestyle changes do.
Diets are temporary, lifestyle is the way you live your life and that’s what matters.
It’s foundational.
What’s your personal health, wellness, or fitness goals?
What’s your vision for your life?
Do you know how to get there?
🌿
I know I can help get you there.
I have the tools, the resources, and the passion for people to help push you and empower you on your path to get your goals within your reach.
But this journey takes time.
There’s no quick fix.
Your patience and persistence is required.
You’ll have to let go of things along the way as well as unlearn A LOT of what you’ve been taught.
And have an open mind to learn new things and the truth about many other things.
🌿
This journey is 90% YOU and 10% me.
The tools, resources, and passion that I have for you will only go as far as you apply them.
I’ll be your accountability buddy
I’ll be your cheerleader
I’ll be your guide
I’ll be your honesty, your truth, and your support
But you are the effort and the change.
So, if you’re ready for that change, I’m ready for you.

What does an appointment look like with me?
An initial appointment is me getting to know you, your lifestyle, your frustrations, your goals, how I can help you along your journey, and a plan for action.
🌿
Then we muscle test! Using quantum physics I begin a conversation with your conscious mind as well as an intuitive quantum conversation with your body. Using muscle testing to figure out what you specifically need in order for your body to be supported nutritionally. This nutritional support helps your body to correct whatever issue(s) may be at hand. Supplementation is a part of this journey, but so is dietary and lifestyle changes.
🌿
However, I deal with far more than supplementation and dietary correction. Often times, your emotions play a role in your health journey and I help you take care of this too. Think of it as “rewiring” your brain because your mind, will, emotions, and words are your most powerful tool.
I’ll touch more on this in a later reel.

Full Moon 🌕 5/1 2026 🌕

Parasites have become a topic of discussion lately, and I’m glad because I remember a time where patients didn’t believe it happened here in the US or that it was a thing at all.
Let me tell you, it is in fact VERY much a thing and if you have a pulse, you have a parasite.
🌿
So, now that they are becoming more common in conversations, the topic of full moon cleansing also arrives.
Who should do a full moon cleanse?
Personally, I say people who have already gone through a 3 - 6 month parasite cleanse under the guide of a practitioner. Full moon cleanses are more of a maintenance program.
🌿
I DO NOT suggest just jumping into one, that’s a good way to get rocked.
I also HIGHLY recommend you find a muscle testing practitioner.
Not all parasites are the same. Some require specific protocols or specific herbs, and a muscle testing practitioner can pin point what you need exactly.
🌿
But why specifically a full moon? Well….
The energy of the parasites ramp up during the full energy of the moon and their eggs typically hatch then too - I call them “full moon parties”. They’re having fun, you are not. Hence another reason why cleansing regularly and finding a practitioner to help you is paramount.
🌿
Website link is in bio! Schedule your appointment to check for parasite, to see which cleanse is right for you, or to address any other situations you may be experiencing
