OUR STORY

A Journey of Light Through the Shadows & a Path to Natural Healing

Looking back, I see a tapestry woven with threads of darkness and threads of unwavering faith. My life, even in its early chapters, has been a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, a journey marked by trials that would challenge the strongest among us. I never imagined that a rare blood cancer, alongside a cascade of other health struggles, would become part of my story. Yet, here I am, not defined by those diagnoses, but transformed by them.

They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. While I’ve learned that strength is often found in vulnerability, I wholeheartedly believe in the power of perseverance, the radiant energy of positivity, the wisdom gleaned from every experience, and the profound grace of gratitude. These are the cornerstones of my life, built upon the bedrock of my faith.

My path has been a winding one, fraught with misdiagnoses and debilitating pain. I battled hypothyroidism, initially mislabeled, which eventually revealed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and small tumors. Fibromyalgia, a cruel companion born from facial fractures, amplified my suffering. Tumors and heavy bleeding from fibroids, the relentless fatigue from neck pain caused by herniated discs, and the discovery of a single kidney years after a misdiagnosis – these were just some of the physical battles I faced. Then came the rare blood cancer, Essential Thrombocythemia, a storm of uncontrolled platelet production. And just to add to the chaos, breast tumors appeared, only to disappear through God’s grace.

At the heart of it all, I was a young mother, a woman facing a body that felt like it was betraying her, with a four-year-old son who needed his mother. I was told my low platelet count was cancer, then depression, then fibromyalgia. I felt lost, adrift in a sea of uncertainty. But amidst the fear and frustration, a flicker of hope remained.

I refused to surrender. I dove into relentless research, immersed myself in God’s word, and sought solace in meditation. I discovered the healing power of juicing and natural pain remedies, choosing to reclaim my body and my life. I learned to listen to my body, to understand its whispers and cries. I chose to surrender to God, trusting that His strength would carry me through.

Simultaneously, my mother received a devastating diagnosis of terminal lung cancer. This blow, while heartbreaking, ignited a fire within me. I knew I had to find a way, not just for myself, but for her, for my son, for anyone who felt lost and hopeless.

My journey is not a tale of woe, but a testament to the transformative power of faith and resilience. It’s a story of how a setback, intended to break me, became a catalyst for growth and healing. I’ve learned that darkness can birth the most brilliant light, that pain can lead to profound empathy, and that adversity can forge an unwavering spirit.
