I have always had a passion for health and wellness.  To my despair, in 2015, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease (Graves’ Disease). Relax! Graves’ does not mean I am on my way to my grave :-). It only refers to the name of the person who came up with the disease.

Graves’ is an auto-immune disease which attacks the thyroid. I received radio-active iodine and was very sick for a long time.  The first year I could not work full-time. I worked anything between 2-3 hours a day. The physician and specialist that administered the radio-active iodine left me for the wolves.  If you are not well and a doctor tells you that there is nothing wrong with you, do not ignore what your gut tells you! Send me an e-mail or make an appointment with an Integrative Health Practitioner.

I started off my journey with a TSH Receptor Antibody score of 248,50, it should be less than 1,8!  I am happy to say that today my score is less than 2.  Meaning that I am in remission!  I got here because I decided to take charge of my life and my health.  I did extensive research and soon realised I need to focus on reducing my overall toxicity load through diet, reducing environmental toxins and exercise.  In doing my research, I was astonished at how toxic our lives are.  Not only do we think toxic thoughts, we also live in a toxic environment and lavish our bodies on a daily basis with even more toxins through what we eat, drink, and rub onto our skin.

My journey taught me that one single intervention is not enough.  A holistic approach is needed.  Here you can see my transformation.  The photo on the left was taken in June 2015, 2 months after being diagnosed. To this date, it shocks me to see myself like that.

Whilst on my journey, I wrote the book NO MORE STRESS, YOUR PROACTIVE GUIDE TO STRESS MANAGEMENT.  And later another called NO MORE ILLNESS, LIFE AFTER AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE. My mission is to share with you the hard lessons I had to learn to get from being VERY ILL to feeling focused, strong, motivated and healthy.  Since then I have not stopped doing research on health and wellness, and have learnt so much. What shocked me the most was that lifestyle choices have a direct impact on your health, without you even knowing about it.  The exciting news is that you can improve your health significantly with lifestyle changes.  It is NOT rocket science!

I have now captured all this information in a Programme called:

CLAIM YOUR LIFE BACK.

I wanted to make the programme accessible and affordable, hence I set it up as an online programme, but still having interpersonal interaction via electronic meetings. 

Your decision to partake in this programme, is a commitment to your health and your future. This is a  journey. Every day you will explore new habits that will work for you and some that won’t.

Embrace this journey. Do not resist change.
