About Me

I believe you must bring your whole authentic self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s crazy world; your personality, your sense of humor, and most importantly, your HEART. All of these elements brought me to found Living Better with Mast Cells, Autoimmune, & Chronic Illness back in 2010. I want to be able help those that suffer from autoimmune or chronic illnesses; especially if YOU’RE JUST FINDING OUT you have one!

I speak mostly about mast cell related incidents because I suffer from Systemic Mast Cell Disorder myself, and all the havoc it causes. It mimic’s many other autoimmune and chronic conditions as well.

Regardless of your diagnosis, the clean living techniques work for everyone in improving their overall health.

​

Here’s my Mast Cell story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdrHZAhS6Gk

​

I’ve mast cell issue most of my life and learned many lessons the along the way. It's a very tricky road to navigate on your own, and the information is extremely overwhelming. Not to mention the condition can take SOOO many avenues!

Mast cells are involved EVERYWHERE in everyone. With chronic conditions it can also affect our mental health. So, I tend to focus on an all around holistic approach - healing mind, body, and soul.

​

We’re all like beautiful snowflakes - and like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike; so bare with me. I’ve suffered for DECADES and I want to use what I’ve learned to continue to help others, and hopefully help you to heal and live a better quality of life!

​

After having to retire from a career I LOVED in the US Air Force. Working for NASA, Search & Rescue, Emergency Management, and solving extremely complex problems - (and being a general science nerd) - I’m putting my research and science skills to good use;

To help ourselves!

​

In today's world our bodies are constantly bombarded with pesticides, chemicals, pollution, GMO's, processed foods, sugar overload, STRESS; did I mention STRESS?? - and it all has an effect on our bodies. GOOD HEALTH IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT!!

​

​I’ve watched it go from non existent, to EXTREMELY rare and ‘unheard of’ - to an explosion over the past 10 years. I’ll be posting research, recipes, & making "how-to" videos on home made products, toiletries, cleaners, foods, etc; meditation and yoga.

​

So... even though I may have lost a career I loved of 16 years...

I may joke, “I’m down - but I’m not OUT!”

I may use humor to keep me going...I channel my inner goof ball, stubborness, and spunk!

​

But at the end of the day the one thing that gets me out of bed? Lending a helping hand to those in need. I just needed to re-organize and re-utilize my skills in a new way. I’m still me, just like YOU are still YOU... we’re just a modified version of ourselves and we still have EVERYTHING to offer!! 

​

Together, my hope is we can live simply and lift each other up through love, kindness, and compassion for each other! And WE CAN HEAL!!

​

There's no cure yet (but we’re making our own), no short cuts... just clean eating, clean thinking, & clean living.

​

Take the journey to better health with me! Doesn't cost you anything!

​

I hope you’ll enjoy it and get some useful information out of it to ease your discomfort, heal, and live a happier, healthier life.

​

Love and Light,

Happy Healing...
