Hi! I’m Zena!

As an Integrative Health Practitioner, wife, and mom to two incredible boys, my life’s work revolves around nurturing my family and guiding women and children through their struggles with chronic health conditions. I firmly believe everyone deserves to live a fulfilling life, free from unresolved health issues. This conviction shapes both my professional endeavors and mirrors my personal wellness journey.

My passion for health and wellness has been with me as long as I can remember. But it was after having my first son and struggling with my own health issues that my interest in holistic medicine truly ignited. Chronic fatigue, debilitating brain fog, bloating, insomnia, and anxiety were just some of the many symptoms I faced. Each day felt like an endless mountain to climb. Conventional practitioners provided no answers, leaving me feeling hopeless. Desperate to reclaim my life, I turned to alternative medicine.

The breakthrough came when a Functional Medicine practitioner used a series of functional lab tests to decode my distress. The results were eye-opening: a leaky gut, elevated cortisol levels from chronic stress, bacterial overgrowth in my gut, systemic inflammation, and sensitivities to many foods that were staples in my diet. This discovery was the first step towards my recovery, offering a glimmer of hope where there had been none.

My healing journey took a significant turn when, as a practitioner myself, I decided to explore the root causes of my persistent fatigue and brain fog. Running a toxin panel on myself revealed shockingly high levels of mycotoxins, poisonous compounds produced by mold. This revelation propelled me into an exhaustive investigation of mold illness and its remedies, expanding my expertise and fueling my passion to assist others in navigating similar health mazes.
