I’m a proud mom of two beautiful girls, a stepmom to three incredible children, and someone who’s walked the hard road of chronic illness, healing, and personal transformation.

I created Bloom2Wellness as a way to share what I’ve uncovered — through research, prayer, trial and error, and a deep desire to live a healthy, purpose-filled life. What started as my personal health journey has become a calling to help others take ownership of their well-being and rediscover the healing power that already exists within them.

My Health Journey

My journey to wellness didn’t begin in a textbook — it began with desperation, confusion, and persistent symptoms no doctor could explain. After the birth of my daughter in 2016, I found myself exhausted despite full nights of sleep. I experienced debilitating joint pain, crushing fatigue, and brain fog that made daily life hard to navigate. I knew something was wrong — and I refused to accept that “normal labs” meant nothing could be done.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, which felt like a punch in the gut. But going gluten-free didn’t resolve everything. My symptoms lingered. I dug deeper and uncovered hidden triggers: food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and the overlooked impact of everyday products. That’s when I connected with The Wellness Way, whose “test, don’t guess” philosophy changed everything.

Bloodwork revealed not just Celiac, but Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) — a key factor in my chronic fatigue. Later on, I also discovered that I have an MTHFR gene mutation, which affects detox pathways and nutrient absorption. These layers helped me better understand why I had struggled for so long — and gave me the insight to begin rebuilding my body from the inside out.

The Turning Point

One major breakthrough came when I learned about Breast Implant Illness. After years of unexplained joint pain, I was finally pointed toward the possibility that my breast implants — placed in 2010 — could be contributing to systemic inflammation. With prayer, research, and guidance, I made the life-changing decision to explant in 2018. The results were immediate: clearer eyes, reduced pain, and improved energy.

Then, in 2024, I faced another hurdle — a diagnosis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC). But through early detection, terrain-focused healing, and God’s grace, I was able to overcome it. It became yet another reminder that healing isn’t just about diet or supplements — it’s about addressing your full terrain: body, mind, and spirit.
