Imagine being in a bathtub, consumed by pain, praying for answers. That was my reality for years. I had spent countless hours, days, and months battling debilitating pain and searching for solutions. My journey began when I started my period at 15. What my mom described as “normal” was anything but — my symptoms were extreme, far beyond what I had been told to expect.

One of my first experiences with the medical system was terrifying. After confiding in a church mentor about my severe cramps, I underwent an ultrasound. The doctor dismissed my concerns, attributing them to an enlarged ovary and prescribing pain medication to mask the symptoms. This marked the beginning of a cycle of masking pain rather than addressing the root cause. 

As I grew older and entered chiropractic school, and encountered more responsibility, my pain didn’t just persist — it worsened. I struggled to attend classes, make excuses to professors, and navigate relationships while feeling emotionally disconnected. The pain was isolating, and it began to rob me of hope for the future.

Hot baths became my lifeline. Every trip required ensuring access to a bathtub because the searing heat was one of the few things that offered temporary relief. Yet, even this coping mechanism was not enough.

One night, as I soaked in the tub, overwhelmed and desperate, I prayed fervently for an answer. In that moment, a name came to mind. At 4:30 a.m., I reached out to a practitioner via email. To my surprise, the practitioner responded immediately. It turns out the doctor is  someone who dedicates his mornings to prayer and helping others. That chance connection became the turning point in my journey.

He introduced me to advanced testing to uncover what was really going on — something no one had suggested before. We identified imbalances in my hormones and crafted a plan tailored to address the root causes of my pain. This approach transformed my health and my life. For the first time in years, I felt like myself again.

Now, I’ve turned my pain into my purpose. As a Chiropractor and Functional Medicine Practitioner at Music City Health Center in Hendersonville, TN, I’ve helped thousands of women regain control over their health and their lives.
