Allergies, asthma and sensory disorders as well as a high level of chemical sensitivity have been a constant part of my life for as long as I can remember. I had seasonal allergies that well weren't really seasonal since they lasted all year long. I am allergic to wheat and gluten intolerant, as well as allergic to whey so I can't drink milk.  I used to have to use asthma inhalers and couldn't run because I would pass out from asthma. I was tired all the time and in constant pain in one form or another. I couldn't even clean the toilet with traditional cleaners because I would get sick just from the smell of the cleaners. Forget painting either, that makes me sick as well. For a long time I tried everything you could think of. If the allergy med exists, I've tried it. I also tried a long list of herbal remedies and while many of them worked to one degree or another most weren't strong enough and I would still be sick more than I was well and in an average year I would get the flu or sinus infections at least five times. 

  Then in 2009, I was introduced to essential oils and they changed my life. While I still use chiropractic and acupuncture as well as other herbal supplements, today I live allergy free most of the time and I am virtually pain free. I used to also be addicted to ibuprofen and advil and now I use it very rarely. I was also diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum at age five back when autism was so rare that doctors didn't really know what to do. I went through a lot of challenges and struggles as a child and spent hours on a variety of therapies and going to doctors. Today I am a fully functional adult who works full time in tech and part time on my home based business. I am completely drug free and I can't even remember the last time I used an antibiotic. I want to share with others who have health challenges how you can overcome them and live a productive and happy life. 

My life changed again in 2018 when I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's an autoimmune condition of the thyroid. It took me a few years but I am now virtual symptom free and have designed several courses and trainings to help others do the same thing. I'm also the host of the podcast "Autoimmune Rehab" Which you can find on iTunes, Spotify and several other places. 

  I am originally from Utah and I have also lived in France, Chile, Wyoming and Indiana. I enjoy reading, researching, skiing, ice skating, and learning foreign languages. I am bi-lingual as I speak both English and French fluently.
