WHY DO I DO THIS WORK?
Because how could I stay quiet after what I've gone through?
I shrunk my own lymph nodes. I avoided chemo. I stopped the migraines that ruled my life and got off five prescription medications.
My body healed in ways I was told were impossible. Once you experience something like that, you cannot just sit on it.
​
I do this work because women are exhausted from being dismissed, rushed and told to settle for feeling awful. I am not here for that. I am here for the woman who knows something is off, who feels everything in her body and who wants real answers, not another handout telling her to drink more water and hope for the best.
​
You deserve a plan that fits your life, not someone else’s rules. You deserve support that feels human. You deserve to feel good again, not ten years from now, but starting today with small wins that actually stick.
​
This is why I do what I do. Because I healed myself, and now I am here to help you do the same. And truly, nothing fires me up more than watching a woman get her life back!​​​​
MY STORY
For most of my life, I did what so many women do. I pushed through symptoms, ignored my own instincts and told everyone I was fine while my body was begging for help. I lived in survival mode without even realizing it. Eventually everything caught up to me and my health fell apart in ways I could not ignore anymore.
​
What followed was years of frustration, fear and being dismissed, but also the beginning of something bigger. I started asking different questions. I began listening to my body instead of fighting it. Bit by bit, I healed things I was told were impossible to fix. I shrunk my lymph nodes, avoided chemo, stopped my migraines and got off five prescription medications. I slowly became someone who understood her body, trusted her intuition and finally felt well again.
​
That journey is the heart of my work and the reason NOURIVA exists. If you are tired of feeling sick, confused or unseen, you are not alone. My full story is a little wild, a little messy and full of moments that changed everything for me. I share more of it in my upcoming book, "Sick of Being Sick", and you can read a preview on my blog.
