A place to heal.
I’m Dr. Heather
A former pharmacist turned holistic hormone healing expert
As a fellow PCOS girl, I’m passionate about pouring into this tribe as much as possible.
I spent over a year denying my PCOS status, and TO THIS DAY do not have an “official” diagnosis from a medical professional. It was through continual and persistent research that I started to realize I was having symptoms consistent with PCOS. This was confirmed even more when I started making changes as if I did have PCOS and my symptoms were relieved!
Nope, not completely gone, but improved and manageable.
The best part?
I was able to learn the ways PCOS can be managed without prescription medications. But wait, I’m a pharmacist. Yep. And I didn’t want to treat my symptoms with medications? Yep. Call me crazy, but I’m an anti-drug drug dealer. As a clinical pharmacist, I worked in a family practice office ordering lab work, interpreting symptoms, and meeting with patients one on one. I have seen the medication trap of more medicine to treat the side effects of… medicine. Knowing about the body, how it works, and how chemicals interact and interfere with natural processes opened my eyes to the science behind why treating the body holistically is the most efficient, cost-effective, and curing way to go.
Friend, rest assured… you are in the right place for holistic hormone healing.
I learned that I could begin using lifestyle change as a medicine when addressing diseases in a holistic way. With a specialization in diseases brought on by metabolism issues, I am a huge advocate of diet and life management strategies as treatment. In fact, my clients have started to regulate blood sugar, lose weight, increase energy, resolve acne, improve relationships, gain fertility, and simply live again.. in freedom… all with small, maintainable changes.
This lit my fire. I know I have to be a light for anyone looking for more options and simply not knowing where to go or which google article to read. I want to grab hands with each woman feeling lost, stuck, defeated, and hopeless. Together, I want us to journey through the education of healing options, to empower her that she is not broken and she can trust her body. I am here to encourage you at each step of the way!
So here it is, friend, take my hand and let’s start your healing!
