lifestyle medicine
I want other Vestibular Warriors to know that they can make a monumental impact when it comes to health. Just because we are dealt a vestibular something does not mean that it’s our destiny. It’s just a street sign on the journey. We decide which way we go, and it might be a bumpy road. That’s ok. We decide whether to sink in the mud or keep on trudging. The choices we make every day make the difference.
My mission is to provide the opportunity to Vestibular Warriors to level up their health through lifestyle medicine.
On October 31, 2016, I was hit with my vestibular something. It flipped my world upside down. I went from feeling in control to losing my sense of self in the world, quite literally. Feeling off kilter, like I was living on a moving dock, looking at my life from the outside, and anxiety coursing my body like fire, were a few of the symptoms that consumed my days. No breaks - my symptoms were every second of every day. I had no warning that it would hit and certainly wasn’t prepared for it. I had experienced a sinus cold and ear infection the weeks prior, but I didn’t think anything of it. I expected that I would be just fine. I never could have predicted the journey that unfolded. On the path, I held on tight to the potential for improvement and a gratitude for all the good in my life. That is the heart and soul of Uncovering Bliss. That book opened the door to my connecting with Vestibular Warriors (as I like to call us) around the world and contributing to an empowered health movement.
This is an exciting topic to be sharing about mostly because I love empowering Vestibular Warriors to take action and know that they have power in the vestibular migraine storm to make a beautiful impact.
Having gone from 24/7 symptoms for eighteen months to finding my grounded state, I have learned a lot. Certainly more than I ever thought I'd learn about vestibular somethings. But the happy part is that by journeying through the darkness with my vestibular something and recovering my wellness, I now know how to support my health in a really big way.
My battle opened my soul until all that was left was me: raw, real and no longer wanting to hide. Everything I communicate here comes from a very heartfelt place because my lifestyle has helped create the sustenance for my happy soul. I am not a doctor and nothing I share here is meant as a cure or diagnosis. I’m a Vestibular Warrior, Holistic Nutritionist (inspired by my vestibular journey), Health Advocate and a believer in owning my wellness. I will always encourage you to advocate for yourself and your health, do your own research and constantly ask questions. If you’re not happy with the answers you’re finding, keep searching.
The amazing part about lifestyle shifts is that they are within our power to support the mind and body in healing. I believe in the power of food as medicine and I love my plant-based diet for the life it gives me. I believe in supplements to fill any gaps, essential oils for mind and body support, and movement to strengthen and cleanse my body. I also believe there is a place for western medicine. Each of these components has played a part in my treatment.
I became a Holistic Nutritionist because I was interested in learning the why behind a plant focused diet and how I could create health through food. It became a happy thing that I now work with Vestibular Warriors on. Back in 2016, I became a Wellness Advocate with doTERRA and it was a happy light in my life during a dark time with the vestibular stuff. I incorporate oils and whole food supplements into my wellness practice for Vestibular Warriors. Note that any wellness kit you purchase not only fuels your health, but helps support the Bliss Out mission (vibrant health for Vestibular Warriors around the world!). I appreciate all your support and I'm rooting for you every step of the way.
Please reach out to me with any questions about getting started with your toolkit.

I’m a plant-based eater but the basis of that is whole, from the earth, real food. I will immediately credit a large part of my ability to heal (and thrive) with a vestibular condition to the way I was eating. In my mind, there’s no doubt about it. I know in my soul that it pulled me up and out of the darkness enough so that I had the energy to push forward. How do I know this? All based on how I felt while trudging in the dark, finding the light and confidently walking my path. It’s only recently that I dived deeper into the nutritional science of why a plant-based diet is the ticket to vibrant health for us and this planet of ours.
I’ve spent the last decade, and more intensely the last four+ years, approaching food as medicine. The quickest way to change how you feel about yourself and the world that you’re a part of, is by looking at your diet. I hate to think that this chapter in any way sounds preachy but when I think of the power of diet, I want to share it with all Vestibular Warriors. An excellent eye-opening book is How Not to Die: Discover the Foods Scientifically Proven to Prevent and Reverse Disease by Michael Greger M.D. I say that because then it’s no longer a matter of opinion. It’s a matter of vibrant health for all of us and this planet. Somewhere deep within my pain, I knew I couldn’t contribute to the pain of our environmental state. Foods of animal origin couldn’t be the answer to my chronic condition. There was something else at play.
Further, I supplement to fill the gaps. It’s my choice because it gives me peace of mind that although I may be trying hard to meet my body’s needs, I recognize that in times of deep healing I may need assistance. In this human-experience in an imperfect world, it's really important.
For the first three years I took the vegan doTERRA Lifelong Vitality supplements (LLV). Then for a year I followed Medical Medium protocols and incorporated a few other supplements like L-lysine, Vitamin C, Zinc, B-12 (among others). I used those for a period of time during "healing mode" as I call it. I'm now back to embracing LLV for vibrant health now and into the future.

Onto my natural medicine! This is honestly my favorite piece of my holistic toolkit because of the bliss it creates in my life.
Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils are naturally occurring, volatile aromatic compounds found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers and other parts of the plant. The distinctive scent from the plant is the essential oil. Its crazy cool, and as you can probably tell, I find it fascinating. I was thrilled to be doing something to elevate my wellness on my terms and to have some sort of control in the storm. That’s the feeling that made me dive in deep.
There are several kits you could get started with. Embracing oils into my life changed how I approached my health each day and for my family. My boys love their oils too!
Be sure to visit all the starter kits here. I also talk about a few of my favorite oils for Vestibular Warriors here.
This is how you rediscover you- with your vestibular something and beyond. Nothing changes if nothing changes. If you do not like the way that you're feeling, it's time to look at your thoughts.
Although I looked "normal" on the outside, inside I felt insanely off kilter, unbalanced, disconnected from my body and as if I was floating- always floating. Looking back I can very clearly see that the fact that I pushed through my normal life from the beginning (minus the first week) helped me tremendously. It saved me on many levels. Going through life became my own personal version of VRT. In my case it was super intense going through the motions of my life (going to work, grocery shopping, going out in the world, keeping up with my baby and toddler).
Without knowing it, I was helping my body learn to move again in the world and find a balanced state.

In the early days with my vestibular something, I would silently wonder when I’d feel like me again. It was the question that coated every other thought throughout the day. It used to be the question I screamed to the universe. The only thing I so desperately wanted.
My mind and body simply felt like a shell. Even though I was showing up, the world couldn’t possibly see the real me because that’s the impact of my vestibular condition, at least in the beginning. It tore me into pieces that were so scattered that rebuilding felt like an impossible task. My soul, everything that made up me, felt shattered and I had no clue how to fix me, or even what I was fixing for that matter.
I hate vestibular migraines and the chaos they create but they also changed my life in a beautiful way. Battling a chronic invisible condition leaves its mark. I’ve grown in ways that I’m proud of and I have learned about myself through the process. My vestibular condition inspired me to help others also navigating life with a vestibular something. I’m thankful for that. The more of us that root for each other, advocate for one another and share our experiences, the more of us that will overcome our vestibular somethings. It’ll be a memory of what we rose above. The mountain we climbed to see the magnificent view.
I wish you all the best on your path with vestibular migraines and beyond.
You got this, Vestibular Warrior. Keep fueling your health and creating bliss in your life.
