My Story

Hi, I’m Theresa. Growing up in an Italian family, food was the centerpiece of our everyday joy - the homemade pastas and sweets always brought us together and made us happy. Food is a focus for many of us, bringing with it fond memories filled with joy and community. It can also bring up complex emotions and realities as well.

Everyone in my family was obese, so it was always hard for me to see the suffering my Mom and her siblings dealt with. 

Though I knew I didn’t want this reality for my life, as long as I can remember, I never felt comfortable or happy in my body. I always felt thick, sluggish, having consistent brain fog, experienced allergies and I never really knew what “good” sleep was.

Over a recent six year period, I experienced numerous losses which brought on, not only a high level of stress, but an onset of extreme anxiety which caused my body to scream loudly.

I hit a crisis level with my health where my digestive system completely shut down due to my body’s stress. The food I ate would sit in my throat and take hours to digest, eventually leaving me with the inability to eat solid food. 

I was then prescribed a hard pharmaceutical drug that I knew I didn’t want or need and lost 40 pounds in this unnatural way in just a couple of months. I also began having thyroid issues, nerve weakness and physical pain in my lower back, leg and foot. I was experiencing tinnitus, arthritic pain and inflammation and regular bouts of vertigo.  And, as I started to slowly eat again, the weight crept back on, no matter how much I tried to keep it off. 

It was then that I realized I needed to take my health into my own hands and find alternative and more natural ways to heal my body.

I threw everything I had at my health challenges. I started to work with a long list of practitioners that included a chiropractor, a masseuse, myofascial expert, an acupuncturist, energy healer, homeopath and a biofeedback therapist and, most recently, implemented the work of regenerative health into my life.  

This is where I began what was to become my freedom journey. 

Today, I have reversed all of my symptoms. I feel lighter, both emotionally and physically, I’m at and have maintained a healthy weight, I have an overflow of energy and have never felt more well; something, if I am honest, I thought I might never experience in this body, or in this lifetime. 

Throughout my own health journey, I gained libraries-full of personal knowledge and experience. When I found the work of regenerative health, the passion came alive within me to become a Regenerative Health Practitioner so I could bring this passion to bear on what is now my work in this world…so you, too, may feel vibrantly well!
