A Whole Person Approach
HOLISTIC | TRAUMA-INFORMED | EMPOWERMENT-BASED | CLIENT-CENTERED
HTMA + Other Labs (When Strategic) + Energy Testing + Lifestyle Medicine Mentoring + Transformational/Neural Rewiring Coaching = A Truly Holistic Approach
My approach embodies the whole-person, client-centered paradigm I teach within the courses and practitioner certification programs offered at Wellness Code Academy, of which I am the founder. Because chronic issues are multifactorial, I integrate functional, lifestyle, and mind-body medicine along with trauma-informed, transformational coaching to help you identify and address the DEEP roots of your challenges.
I also don’t fix or heal you or rely upon prescriptive protocols as the foundation for healing. Instead, I guide you on a personalized journey to step into your power, become your own best self-healer, and cultivate wellness in your body, mind, and spirit. As the famous biblical saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.”
HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. It’s the one lab test that I run on all clients out of the gate. When interpreted skillfully and through the lens of accumulated stress and trauma, it provides a vast look into the physical and emotional body, making it an incredible, low-cost tool for supporting the creation of a solid foundation for healing moving forward. I use other labs as well as supplements conservatively and strategically. The way I see it, there’s nothing functional or holistic about over-reliance on labs and prescriptive supplement protocols as foundational healing supports. This is basically conventional medicine in somewhat better lighting.
What Paves the Way For Illness to Develop?
As the graphic illustrates, it’s never just one factor that causes a person to fall into the rabbit hole of chronic health issues and the resulting life stress.
Instead, chronic disease is the result of the perfect storm of stressors and traumatic experiences that accumulate and exceed a person’s ability to adapt metabolically and psychologically.
Loss of adaptation then leads to widespread dysfunction that makes a person a vulnerable host for chronic diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, mold illness, chronic Lyme fibromyalgia, autoimmunity, etc., to take hold.
When dysfunction continues without resolution, the nervous system becomes chronically dysregulated, and the entire system spends more time in defense mode than in energy-producing mode. This is known as Chronic Cell Danger Response mode.
Chronic nervous system dysregulation and CDR mode make it so the body doesn’t respond well to the things a person does to try to get well. It also fuels painful emotional states such as anxiety and depression.
From here, a vicious stress-illness-pain-life chaos cycle is created.
If you’re caught within this cycle, I’ll help you break free from it with a trauma-informed, whole-person approach aimed at figuring out what’s keeping you stuck (in body, mind, and spirit) and implementing a personalized, step-by-step healing plan to get you back on track.
The Wellness Code, Empowerment-based Healing
In my practice, I integrate functional, mind-body, and energy medicine in tandem with transformational coaching into a cutting-edge, empowerment-based approach to healing chronic disease. I’ve named this approach The Wellness Code, which, as mentioned at the beginning of this page, I now also teach inside of our online courses and certification programs at Wellness Code Academy. You can learn more about the academy HERE.
This approach is based on 4 primary Rs of healing:
REMOVE as many stressors as possible
RECONNECT to nature and our deeper selves
REWIRE the brain and nervous system for wellness
RESTORE cellular function
This said, while biochemical interventions such as lab testing, dietary intervention, and supplement protocols are indeed integral components of the healing process that cannot be skipped, in order to find true and lasting healing, most people need dynamic coaching and support that facilitates becoming fully empowered in their own healing and transformational process.
In light of this, I work with clients in a way that offers new perspectives on microbiome and gut health, circadian rhythm and sleep optimization, pathogen eradication, detoxification, mitochondrial repair, and much more. I also offer a wide array of knowledge, tools, and strategies that take them beyond the biochemical aspects of healing and deep into the realms of energy testing, mindset, nervous system regulation, neural rewiring, psychoneuroimmunology, emotional healing, habit change, passions and purpose, and more.
Seek Help, Heal, and LIVE!
I relate to the frustration, anxiety/depression, suffering, confusion, shame, and isolation that come with ongoing and poorly understood health conditions. I am also well aware of how limited our current medical paradigm is in offering adequate support and effective solutions.
A personalized, trauma-informed, whole-person approach to healthcare is a good option if you’re frustrated with suppressing symptoms and being told that everything is “normal” despite ongoing issues.
I’m passionate about helping my clients create a self-help road map within a client-practitioner relationship that emphasizes education, empathy, compassion, support, collaboration, and inspiration. I strive to be everything to my clients that I longed for yet never found with most of the practitioners and healing approaches that I worked with in my healing journey.
