I'm delighted that our paths have crossed! I'm the founder and owner of Rooted Alchemy, a business I created with the intention of providing guidance, support, and healing for those that seek it. My journey began with early struggles with various health issues. In grade school, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, depression, and anxiety, which, coupled with medications, led to significant weight gain by the age of 10. By seventeen, I weighed 280 pounds and was grappling with polycystic ovarian syndrome and insulin resistance, among other challenges. My hormones were imbalanced, and I experienced daily fatigue and lightheadedness.

After years of this struggle, I realized that the way I felt wasn't normal, and I began making slow but steady diet and lifestyle changes in my twenties, ultimately shedding over 120 pounds. Although my physical health improved, I still grappled with lingering mental, gut, and reproductive health issues and found myself stuck in toxic, codependent patterns in my relationships.

It was at this point in my journey that I discovered another crucial aspect of healing: energy medicine and spirituality. I began to understand that many health conditions originate at the energetic level. I learned how trauma and energy imbalances act as silent drains on our vital life-force energy and eventually manifest as physical ailments, from autoimmune diseases to chronic illness and fatigue. By embracing energy medicine to restore balance and clarity to our energy, we confront the underlying causes of our ailments. In doing so, we not only harmonize our energetic selves but also pave the way for our physical bodies to find equilibrium.

In this state of balance, our bodies possess the innate ability to self-heal. By addressing the root of our issues rather than merely treating the symptoms, we foster genuine healing from within.

This newfound understanding brought me back to a place of self-love, self-esteem, and empowerment, igniting a desire to help others on their healing journeys. I dedicated years to educating myself, becoming certified in Quantum Energy Therapy, Holistic Nutrition, Unity Activation, and Reiki Level 1.

But, wait, there’s more! ;) After being introduced to energy medicine, I soon found another modality of healing that I quickly fell in love with: Herbalism. Sometimes, holistic healing doesn’t work as quickly as we would like it to. Afterall, it took years to develop these ailments, and, so, it can take years to heal the damage dealt by them. Plant medicine is a great companion to have to help with symptoms and support your body’s natural healing process. My journey with herbalism has been profound. There is something so liberating, so innate and wild and powerful about creating and using the medicine that Mama Earth has provided for us. It helps me feel more connected to Her and to all of nature. It helps me to remember I am nature. It roots me down into the magical mystery of this world, and it is, oh so nurturing.

In my practice, I have observed the transformative power of blending nutrition, herbalism, and energy medicine, recognizing how changes in the way we live and consume can bring stored emotions to the surface, allowing us an opportunity to feel and release them and creating a beautiful opportunity for a great upward spiral of healing. If you choose to collaborate with me, we'll compassionately and mindfully blend these tools to meet the unique needs of your healing journey. I'm enthusiastic about guiding and supporting you as you remember and embody your purest, healthiest self. It would be an honor to co-create with you!
