My Experience Qualifications

How I went from overworked people-pleaser and chronic illness patient to helping others like me heal life-long symptoms and build a life they love.

Before healing my body from Multiple Sclerosis, chronic hives, and a life full of chronic symptoms. Before the two #1 Amazon best-selling books. Before having an insanely successful opening of my private practice (my first year as a solo practitioner) and gaining a reputation for helping people struggling with complex health issues...there was a sickly, overworked people-pleaser.

Eager to help everyone.

Desperate for approval and validation.

Scared to death of making it out on her own no matter how many times she jammed out to Whitney Houston's Bring Me A Higher Love…on full blast in her lil blue Hyundai.

I didn’t have a smooth ride in overcoming chronic illness & MS.

While my nearly 15 years of healthcare administration days saw me supporting world-renowned high-powered staff and doctors at Columbia University Medical Center, Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson and multiple practitioners in private practice... and I graduated cum laude Dean’s List with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Lehman College (Bronx - represent)...

The shift into overcoming life-long health issues was anything but “high powered.”

When I finally did “take the leap” into the holistic health world, I was plagued by a chronic case of second-guessing, showing up inconsistently, feeling like I'd never have my shit together, and a battering sense of “not enoughness” that made everything feel 14 quadrillion times harder than it had to!

And when I finally did start to get a bit of traction in my health goals…

…I quickly realized:

“It won't work if it feels forced...it will only work if I choose it.”

The first few years of stepping into this was rough, I’m not gonna glamourize it.

It's been over 10 years since I have experienced any symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis... without any prescriptions or western intervention.

But like most good things in life, that didn’t happen overnight. And it sure as hell didn’t happen without me having to figure out how to overcome a bunch of struggles & challenges in the beginning. In other words…

I didn’t just decide that Western medicine didn't have answers for me and then take a magic holistic pill and heal myself. I had to figure some shit out first.

I didn’t hit eject from pharmaceutical life and land softly on the perfect roadmap to shutting off my symptoms without drugs for good.

Every small “win” was marred by an even bigger barrage of "random" symptoms, criticism from my medical community, and endless self-doubt…So determined yet so often consumed with a crippling sense of fear that I'll never get better.

Long hours spent "doing all the right things" for my health without the results to justify it.

Less than confident “real-talks” with friends and family, desperately trying to convince them that my success was just around the corner.

I've invested upwards of $150K in my health education and training because I needed to learn the science of optimizing my health in a sustainable, solution-oriented way.

I would invest, try some new methods, make some changes…re-invest. Rinse and repeat.

The problem I ran into in these programs was…

I was getting bombarded by different wellness coaches and self-proclaimed gurus, left and right, promising that they had the secret to health and happiness, but nobody was actually giving me a plan or a framework I could use long-term and continued to keep me in healing mode after the program was over.
I’d leave these programs with ONE main wisdom nugget or skill, which was hit or miss when it came to results. And by the time the program was over, I’d usually feel good, but would always struggle to continue keeping up with my health goals in the way I just had.
And no matter what the program was, I’d always completely burned out from putting all of my energy into it. The nature of these programs had me overexerting and forcing outcomes. I kept approaching my health with a masculine force, and it hurt. Even when I was taught feminine approaches, applying them by myself in the real world after the programs were over just wasn’t working.

Then I figured out something that changed everything:

I needed a combination of methods, strategies, and coaching that was SPECIFIC TO ME as a personal development junkie and advanced thinker… and I needed a container to support me through ALL the seasons of my health journey, not just 6-to-12-weeks. NONE of those programs were offering that.

And once I figured that out, EVERYTHING STARTED TO FLOW.

Fast forward: September, 2023 - I have not had ANY symptoms of MS in over 10 years… with no western intervention, and during an unprecedented shift in the perception of our modern healthcare model.

I feel totally confident in the outcomes I can facilitate both for my clients and in myself… and I no longer fear symptoms, but connect with them as messengers!

I can create my own health plan,

I can eat inflammatory foods on occasion with no problems,

I can see through symptoms and understand the root cause very quickly ...without any doubt of knowing where to start.

And I get paid to help people do the same! (Which is one of the most beautiful gifts in all of this!)

I discovered a higher mission through all of this and created Root Your Radiance High Performance Coaching because I never want my students and peers to struggle the way I did.

That natural health enthusiasts like me were too authentic, empathic, and unique to yield sustainable results from most cookie-cutter strategies long-term. So I doubled down and leaned into teaching my fellow self-healers what DOES work. I learned:

How to rapidly transform and make palpable shifts from a deep sense of connectedness, intention, and structure that makes sense for how humans learn, heal, and evolve.
How to become your own practitioner at least 80% of the time, reduce symptoms for life, and set up the foundations for long-term sustainable health in your body.
How to be so deeply connected to your body's natural rhythms, cycles and tendencies so that you can recognize the beginning of a disease process and know how to course-correct without blame or shame.

AND AFTER ALL THAT WAS DIALED IN ...

I discovered how to focus and minimize my efforts so I would never have to overexert, force outcomes, and end up in a place of experiencing overwhelming symptoms and burnout.

And best of all…

I’ve had the honor of helping many natural medicine enthusiasts, practitioners and coaches, and high-performing professionals like you sidestep years of struggle and heal annoying lifelong symptoms for good.

How?

Root cause by root cause.

Over the years, I’ve developed a reputation for transforming things “root cause-by-root cause.”

Not just “step by step”...

But actually going into the nitty-gritty root causes that prevent you from having the energy and healing capacity to step into a whole new reality of health. By giving you the keys and codes to sustainable health and happiness without rigid rules and crippling overwhelm.

I am able to do this, because I teach what I know.

I teach what I’ve personally done to heal from chronic health issues that doesn’t rely on pharmaceuticals, blame, or shame to get you lasting results.
