I've Also Been Where You Are…Frustrated, Exhausted, Depressed, and Struggling to Get Through the Day

More than twenty years ago, I embarked on my own health journey. It all began when I started experiencing extreme fatigue, various stomach problems, constant back and joint pain, and other troublesome symptoms that affected my daily life.

Dealing with these issues was a long and arduous process, involving visits to over ten different doctors, spanning fifteen years, and costing me thousands of dollars. Finally, I received an initial diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune thyroid disease.

I'M JAMIE NICOLE

HEY THERE!

I'm a certified Holistic Health Coach + Autoimmune Strategist.  I support others with autoimmune disease value their choices, take control of their bodies, and gain freedom through 

healthy eating and active living.

But I wasn't willing to accept a life filled with fatigue, pain, and limited activities. Determined to regain my health and live life to the fullest, I delved into learning everything I could about how my body functions. This knowledge helped me become a better partner to my doctor in my quest for wellness.

However, my story took another unexpected turn. Four years after my first autoimmune diagnosis, I discovered there was more to my health issues. In May 2019, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy, another autoimmune disease.

Despite these challenges, I managed to reverse the symptoms of Hashimoto's in a relatively short period of time. The lessons I learned along the way also enabled me to holistically manage my narcolepsy symptoms after diagnosis. As a result, I now have more energy, experience less pain, and have even shed 60 pounds by addressing the underlying causes of my health problems.

As I was on my journey

I never thought I would achieve the level of wellness and fulfillment that I have now.  From learning to manage my symptoms to discovering the power of holistic approaches, I have surpassed my own expectations and found a newfound sense of balance and vitality. 

My personal journey has not only transformed my physical health but also empowered me to live a life rich in purpose, gratitude, and self-discovery.

This is why I'm driven to help you on this journey, by empowering you to make informed choices, regain control of your body, and find freedom through the transformative power of healthy eating and active living

If you're new here, I'm all about finding that perfect balance where inspiration meets action and restoration takes center stage. I'm thrilled to guide you through the process.

You'd likely find me chilling in my meditation & recovery room, surrounded by the soothing glow of red light therapy and the calming aroma of essential oils while kicking back, watching old episodes of Law & Order, and letting my mind wander into the realm of possibilities for how we can all make the journey of RESTORATION from where we are to where we want to be.

Right now, 

I'm wildly passionate about championing healthcare and healthcare access, fostering community well-being, vibing to great music, getting my groove on through dance, exploring exotic cuisines, and embracing a mix of fun and plenty of tranquil moments.
