When you feel good physically, you feel good emotionally.
Now that I have overcome my chronic illness, I feel good. I am so grateful to be well.
Sometimes, we have setbacks like a chronic illness
or sometimes we have setbacks like a chronic condition.
I had a frozen shoulder.
That was painful and challenging.
Unfortunately, during my chronic illness my doctors didn’t address my health holistically so it took longer to overcome.

In 2010, I overcame my 15 year chronic illness. The next year, I moved to San Francisco and lived in California for 5 years.
This pic was of me on New Year’s, less than 5 years after overcoming my chronic illness. This was me celebrating in Hollywood. I had moved to Hollywood three months earlier when this pic was taken. I was so happy to be well and to be living my dreams.
The old me would never have imagined moving across country. Or being so healthy or so joyful.
After I overcame my illness, I focused on doing everything that brought me joy. For so long my days were focused on survival, getting through the day, trying to be well.
Read MoreI love being a healer. I have been a healer for about 17 years. It was never something I intended to do, but I had a calling and over the years the calling continues.
Why?
Because I was sick with a debilitating illness for 15 years. I was misdiagnosed for 15 years. I felt doctors didn’t respect me and take me and my symptoms seriously. I felt that I lost 15 years of my life which could have been avoided and I don’t want the same to happen to anyone else. Life is supposed to be joyful, but you can’t be joyful when your needs are not met physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Because of what I experienced, I have great empathy for those who have chronic illnesses and chronic conditions who are being told there is no cure and they have to accept their illnesses.

They taught me to watch the news constantly: for updates and further information.
When fear weakens the immune system and spreads more fear to others.
They taught me that you cannot overcome chronic illness,
but I overcame mine.

No one needs privacy anymore.

They taught me not to think for myself.
They taught me to bully anyone who disagrees.

In 2010, I finally overcame my debilitating chronic illness. After fifteen years struggling, I finally realized the root cause and healed myself 100% naturally on my own in one month. I had felt imprisoned by my illness and once I was healthy again I wanted to be free.
In 2011, I moved cross country with no job, no family, no close friends to start a brand new life in San Francisco based on a physical dream I had. An uplifting dream I had one night that inspired me to move. Friends thought I was brave (or crazy) for packing up and starting anew. For me it wasn’t bravery, just something I needed to do.
