My Story
I didn’t start out in wellness. After completing my MBA, I spent years in the corporate world — spreadsheets, deadlines, chasing the version of success we’re often taught to want.
On paper, I had it together. But I was burned out, disconnected from my body, and constantly overriding what I felt with what I thought I should do.
What finally made me stop wasn’t one dramatic breakdown. It was the accumulation of smaller things: constant fatigue, skin issues I couldn’t make sense of, and products that promised to help but sometimes seemed to make things worse.
So I started asking questions.
At first, they were about the obvious things — food, ingredients, beauty products and what I was bringing into my home. But the deeper I looked, the bigger the questions became.
Why do so many people feel unwell despite trying to do everything “right”? Why is health so often discussed as a collection of separate problems? How much do sleep, stress, food, movement, our nervous system, relationships and environment influence one another? And when we’re told something is healthy, safe or necessary, how often do we stop to ask what that claim is actually based on?
That curiosity eventually led me to study holistic health and become a certified Holistic Health Practitioner.
And somewhere along the way, what began as a personal search for answers became something I wanted to share with other people.
That’s how Your Holistic HQ began.
