My Story
I remember lying in bed, writhing in pain, my body frail and weak, thinking, “This is it.”
“If you’re going to take me, just take me already. Please. Make it quick,” knocking on death’s door.
I was 22.
Most of my youth and early adult life were spent battling my body. Years of chronic illness, excruciating pain, unanswered questions, pharmaceutical pills, and endless doctors’ visits had taken their toll. Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, brain fog, low energy, chronic pain, bleeding, and depression seemed to be my norm.
But this was different. This time, my illness became so depleting I’d lost my ability to speak without slurring my words. I was unable to walk without shuffling my feet. At 89 pounds, I could hardly stand without needing a wheelchair. My hair fell out in chunks, my eyes had sunken in, and the color in my face was gone. No matter what time of day it was, it took every ounce of energy and strength to pull my body out of bed.
I was withering away.
I’d spent the last year undergoing naturopathic medicine treatment, homeopathy, herbal protocols, nutritional and emotional support, and IV infusions. I didn’t quite understand that healing came with its ebbs and flows, so I began losing faith, until something within me took hold of my spirit and held me close, “This ISN’T it,” She said.
Right then and there, I knew I was being given a choice. The choice to give up or the choice to push forward. The choice to weaken and crumble or the choice to empower myself and heal.
I chose empowerment and healing.
From that moment on, I knew I would dedicate the rest of my life to healing.
I embraced a holistic way of living, intertwining my naturopathic treatment and remedies with plant food as medicine, movement as soul and body nourishment, creativity as energetic stimulation, and nurturing relationships and spirituality as connection.
Today, I am vibrant and alive. I feel radiant, energetic, and aligned, a place I never thought I could reach.
And I know you have the power to be, too. By taking an intentional, holistic approach to healing and living, I believe we can bring you to your Highest, most radiant Self and create a beautiful, vibrant life, perfectly carved and painted for you.
Begin your journey with me.
With Love, Alandra
