I remember sitting in yet another doctor’s office, exhausted, frustrated, and silently praying this visit would be different. I had already seen an internist, a gastroenterologist, a rheumatologist, a psychologist, and two endocrinologists. Each one ran the tests. Each one handed me the same empty answer: “Your labs look normal.”
But I didn’t feel normal. Not even close.
Medication after medication was prescribed, but my body told me a different story — I was sick, and no one could see it. When the second endocrinologist suggested repeating every test I had already endured, only to send me back to square one, my heart sank. In that moment, I knew the truth: if I kept following the same path, I might never find healing.
That was my turning point.
After late-night research, prayer, and sheer determination, I decided to try something different. I sought out an integrative nurse practitioner — and within weeks, I felt relief for the first time in years. As we dug deeper with specialized testing and a root-cause approach, I finally uncovered what was really happening in my body. With a personalized plan of nutrition, lifestyle shifts, targeted supplements, and conventional medicine, I started to heal.
And I’ll never forget the day it hit me: I have my life back.
That experience changed everything. After over a decade as a conventional nurse practitioner, I couldn’t unsee the truth: symptom management wasn’t enough. Patients deserved better. They deserved real answers, real healing, and real hope.
So I walked away from the status quo and built something different. The WAE Clinic was born out of that conviction — and out of my rebellion against the broken “sick care” system that told me (and countless others) to settle.
I built The Live Restored Blueprint because I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it feels like to lose hope — and I know how powerful it is to get it back. You don’t need to settle for band-aids or dismissals. You deserve restoration. And I’m here to show you it’s possible.
