Hello! I’m Natasha and my health journey began many years ago, I just didn’t realize it then. Like so many other people, my story is not unique. I have had heartburn since the age of 12, irregular periods since puberty, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, and in my early 20s I was diagnosed with Meniere’s disease. I was never given any answers when I asked, “Why!? or how!? does this happen? How does a vibrant 24-year-old woman wake up with ringing and pressure in her ears accompanied by bouts of extreme vertigo that lasts for 3 months!?”

With a slight shrug, the answers were, “this is what happens sometimes as we age”.

I had access to fantastic medical care, and I believe I received the very best attention from these physicians, but it still never sat well with me. I did a lot of research and I asked a lot of questions and I did not want to mask the pain with medicine; but at times my quality of life suffered so much I gave in so that I could eat, sleep, work, have a baby.

In late 2020 my personal stress level hit an all-time high. I was working 70+ hours a week and I was missing out on my children’s lives because even if I were present physically, I could not stop the worry, feeling distracted, and overall sadness. I was constantly holding back hysterical tears. I no longer slept more than 3 hours at a time, despite feeling exhausted. I had zero energy to work out and I lived on yogurt and the occasional apple…whatever I could grab quickly from the fridge (and I was gaining weight!). It all came to a boiling point in early December when my youngest son climbed onto my lap while I was working, put his head on my shoulder and said, “I just want my old mommy back”.

I realized I was not just impacting myself but my boys too. This was unacceptable! I made him a promise that I would change things in the new year, and I did. I am still emotional when I think of that time and yet I am so grateful because it was the catalyst to where I am now.

When I discovered Dr. Cabral’s podcasts and later read his book, The Rain Barrel Effect, I felt ALIVE. I knew in my head and my heart that this was THE ANSWER. This was EXACTLY what I had been searching for since my 20’s and I need it, especially now.

I immediately began to work through his DESTRESS™ protocol. Like a young child learning to walk and talk I was a sponge, and I could not get enough! I was moved, as I never had been before, to share this information with anyone who would listen, and I was thrilled to discover the IHP certification so I could continue to learn and to help myself and help others.

If you suffer from any health issues or simply want to optimize your health as you age, I would love to have the privilege of sharing my knowledge and guiding you on your individual journey.

Yours in balance and health,
-Natasha
