For years I lived with a fibromyalgia diagnosis and the pain and exhaustion that came with it. I went to the appointments. I had the labs run. I was told everything looked fine, and that this was simply how things were going to be from here on.
That is not how things are now. Mineral balancing is the reason. I still carry the diagnosis, and I am not going to tell you it disappeared, because it did not. What changed is that it stopped running my days.
That experience is why I start where I start, and why I will never hand you a fourteen step protocol and wish you luck.
What I do
I am a Florida Licensed Massage Therapist and a Functional Health Coach, certified in functional nutrition through the Functional Nutrition Alliance. I built this practice in Palm Bay for Christian women who were handed a diagnosis and very little else.
My signature work is HTMA, hair tissue mineral analysis. It shows how your cells have been using minerals over the past few months, which is often where the pattern finally surfaces. Blood work tells you what is circulating right now, and your body works hard to keep those numbers steady. That is exactly why so many women are told their labs look normal while they feel anything but.
I also do Targeted Therapeutic Massage, which is clinical and corrective work rather than relaxation. Between the two, most of what walks through my door has somewhere to start.
Who I work with
Women, mostly somewhere between forty and fifty-five, living with ongoing fatigue, ongoing pain, autoimmune or connective tissue conditions, hormones that have shifted, and digestion that has stopped cooperating. Women who have been through conventional medicine without answers, and who were told they just have to live with it.
You know the calculation. If I go to her game tonight, how many days will I pay for it? If I host Thanksgiving, what does next week cost me? If I say yes to serving on Sunday, what do I give up Monday?
You have been running those numbers so long you barely notice you are doing it. What you want is not another supplement. It is to stop calculating.
How the work goes
There is an order to it, and the order is most of why it works.
First we calm inflammation and the nervous system. A body that is braced cannot settle, and a body that is inflamed cannot rest. Those two feed each other, so they come down together.
Second we open drainage pathways. Your body needs somewhere to put what it releases. Skipping this is the single most common reason a protocol makes someone feel worse instead of better.
Then minerals. Once the foundation holds, HTMA shows us what your cells have been doing, and we correct from there. Slowly. One change at a time.
What I believe
God designed your body to heal itself with the right inputs. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, and food as close to the way God made it as possible is always best.
Most of the women I work with need correcting in two directions at once. Stop chasing whatever trend worked for someone else. And stop assuming that suffering is simply God's plan for you, because it is never God's will for you to suffer for no reason.
My faith is not a separate part of this. It is the lens the whole practice runs through. I am not going to push it on you, and you are welcome here either way.
Progress, not perfection
When you have five things to work on, you pick the one that feels least overwhelming and you start there. When that one is steady, we add another.
If you get eighty percent of your water in and take half your supplements, that is progress, and I will treat it that way.
It's called a health practice, not a health perfect.
