The Journey Back to Me: From High Achiever to Gut Specialist

Shaw Media Christmas Party 2011 - The Carlu - Toronto, ON

I spent years working in the fast-paced world of television in the Programming Department at Food Network and HGTV in Toronto.

On the surface, I had a successful career. It was an absolute blast at the start - I got to meet many famous Canadian personalities, attend some incredible parties, and contributed meaningful growth within my department… but after a few years, behind the scenes, I was silently struggling.

Daily migraines, chronic pain, insomnia, and even depression had become my norm. I went to work and had very little quality of life beyond that.

I consulted countless doctors and specialists, tried every medication recommended, but nothing truly helped.

After five years of frustration and little relief, I began working with an acupuncturist and herbalist.

For the first time, someone looked beyond the obvious symptoms and identified a root issue: digestive dysfunction. It had been quietly fueling the inflammation and imbalance in my body all along.

Through dietary changes, functional testing, and gradually incorporating mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, I began to experience true healing.

I also made the radical choice to slow down… leaving the city, moving to the countryside, and taking on a simpler, more balanced lifestyle.

This transformation sparked a deeper calling. I earned a diploma in Holistic Nutrition and Health, along with additional certifications, to support my further healing.

My digestive health issues are a thing of the past.

I can even eat gluten and dairy again - which I was off of for 12+ years.

Now, I guide individuals navigating chronic symptoms, stress, and burnout, helping them reclaim their health, just as I did.

You deserve to feel well. Truly, deeply, and for good.
