Getting a diagnosis of Ankylosing Spondylitis or Spondyloarthropathy  can be a scary moment. When I was diagnosed, the idea of continuous pain and possible fusion of my spine was super scary. I have always been very active and did not want that to change.

​

Fortunately I found Integrative Medicine, Ayurveda and Functional Nutrition which addresses the root causes of Ankylosing Spondylitis and other Spondyloarthropathy manifestation. I am a certified Integrative Medicine Health Coach, Functional Nutritionist, Ayurveda counselor, Yoga and Meditation teacher. My training empowers me to empower you with information, practices and a therapeutic partnership to help you achieve your wellness goals within the context of your life.

​

Combining these methods and practices empowers me to calm the disease by fully loving and caring for my body through nutrition, supplementation, stress mastery and healing my gut!

​

What does love have to do with it? Loving myself and accepting my body with all its beauty and imperfections was the first step in committing to dive deep into my wellness. By fully loving myself with loving actions I reversed many of the debilitation symptoms of Ankylosing Spondylitis and Spondyloarthropathy. Love calms the nervous system which helps the body recover from stress more easily, takes me out of survival and enables my body, mind, emotions and spirit to thrive.

​

What does the gut have to do with it? EVERYTHING! Most people with Ankylosing Spondylitis or Spondyloarthropathy also have gut issues like Leaky Gut and Dysbiosis. By healing Leaky Gut and Dysbiosis the body's inflammation level goes way down and the immune system does not have to work overtime. When the immune system balances and inflammation is no longer chronic, the symptoms of Anklylosing Spondylitis  or Spondyloarthropathy calm down. A healed gut means less pain and discomfort and hopefully less degeneration and progression of the disease.
