I hope this reaches you in strong Health and good emtional health.

In the moments of morning, evening, or afternoon, I hope this message finds you in good health and well-being. Today, I want to share a part of my journey and the purpose behind Elderberry Holistic Health.

The question “Who am I?” is profound. Why did I embark on this holistic health venture, and what are my intentions?

Life unfolds differently for each of us. Some face ease that is secretly challenging, while others grapple with the darkness of profound trials. My journey began in the shadows, marked by trauma from early childhood. Abuse, both during my mother’s pregnancy and at the age of 3, set the stage for a tumultuous life filled with hardships like child abuse, rape, and kidnapping. Homelessness, substance abuse, and emotional breakdowns became my reality.

In 2003, at the age of approximately 24, I reached a breaking point. As a single mother working in an unhealthy environment, I faced physical and emotional exhaustion. The conventional medical route offered no solace, drowning me in high doses of medications that only worsened my condition. The turning point came when I witnessed the adverse effects on another person in the ER that was taking the same medication as me, prompting me to listen to my instincts and cease the medication.

Choosing to be present for my daughter and my future, I delved into holistic healing. Going to school for holistic health American College of Healthcare. Started clean eating and exercise, herbal remedies to embracing natural therapies, my journey began to yield positive changes. Holistic health became my path to recovery, allowing me to overcome hypothyroidism, eczema, anemia, addiction and more.

The beauty of holistic health lies in its personalized approach. Each person’s journey is unique, and through continuous learning and practice, I strive to share this path with those seeking healing. My own transformation includes overcoming depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms.

I share my story candidly because openness is crucial in the healing process. We cannot change the past, but we can choose to heal and be present. My hope is that through my experiences, you find inspiration to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and healing.
