My Why - 'Tazz' 

My path into women’s health and nervous system care didn’t begin in a classroom.

It began in my own body.

From my earliest menstrual cycles, I experienced severe hormonal dysfunction - painful, unpredictable, flooding periods that disrupted daily life and left me constantly searching for answers.

Over time, I experienced multiple miscarriages. Eventually, after years of struggling with reproductive health complications, I underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy at the age of 21- a week after graduating from Nursing School.

Even after surgery, many of the deeper patterns remained - fatigue, hormonal shifts, nervous system sensitivity, and the feeling that my body operated differently than those around me. I was hospitalized with exhaustion at least once a year for DECADES!!

For years, I lived with questions medicine couldn’t fully answer.

 

Then, at 59 years old, another important piece of the puzzle finally emerged: I was diagnosed with AuDHD (Autism + ADHD).

Looking back, so much of my life suddenly made sense.

My deep sensory awareness.

My intense focus and passion for learning.

My sensitivity to stress and overstimulation.

My strong sense of justice and service.

These qualities shaped both my challenges and my strengths.

 

From Nurse to Holistic Practitioner

​

Before becoming an Ayurvedic Health Counselor, I spent many years working as a Special Needs School Nurse, caring for others through conventional medicine.

But my personal health journey led me to explore deeper approaches to healing.

That exploration eventually brought me to Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India that views health through the balance of body, mind, environment, and daily rhythm.

For the first time, I encountered a system that didn’t treat symptoms in isolation.

 

Instead, Ayurveda asked a different question:

 

How can we support the unique nature of this person so the body can return to balance?

That philosophy changed the way I understood health.

​

The Heart of My Practice

 

Today, my work centers on helping people create sustainable balance within their own lives and bodies and I work Mask Free. You're Invited to Participate however You feel Honors YOU Best. 

I developed The Engine Method™ as something I can still use Now, something that I needed THEN, This Practice is Personal. 

​

My practice focuses especially on supporting:

 

• Women navigating hormonal imbalance

• Perimenopause and menopause transitions

• Burnout and chronic stress

• Nervous system dysregulation

• Neurodivergent wellness (ADHD & AuDHD)

• Highly sensitive individuals

 

Many of my clients are people who have spent years feeling misunderstood in traditional medical settings.

 

They are thoughtful, capable individuals who simply need tools that work with their nervous systems - not against them.
