About Amy
Back in 1999 I was exposed to some chemicals while the company I was working for was renovating the building. Several co-workers and I became very sick. My life after that had changed. I had a hard time going about my normal everyday activities. Certain smells began causing me to have severe headaches, often migraines. This exposure also induced asthma which required me to use inhalers. Forget trying to clean the house. I had to get a heavy duty mask to wear just to clean.
During my research on the chemicals I was exposed to and my symptoms, I started looking into natural cleaning products and natural living. I switched my cleaning products to environmentally friendly ones, started to improve my diet, and began learning more about a holistic lifestyle.
This horrible experience I went through brought me to review what I use for my family; everything from food and nutrition to personal and home care. Most importantly be able to share this information with others.
Fast forward to 2014 where several life changes began to impair my health again. I was exhausted, in pain, anxious, depressed, had ‘IBS’, and long painful periods. I ended up with adrenal fatigue, candida, leaky gut, and hormone imbalances. All too common for our world today.
I know there are many others out there that go through similar stressful days and events. Our world has advanced quicker than we can keep up with. I’ve always enjoyed helping others get healthy and happy and I want to continue to do so. That is why I trained with IIN, and continue to expand upon my 20+ years of experience in health.
