Sydney is a 22 year old from Omaha, Nebraska. She was raised holistically after she sustained a vaccine injury at 6 months old that awakened her mom. She was never into holistic health growing up as she thought It was all weird and woo-woo until her world turned upside down in 2018. 

In August of 2018, she moved out on her own into an apartment and her health declined significantly. She just assumed it was the stress of working two jobs and being out on her own for the first time. December of 2018 she had over 60 different symptoms and decided to go to her primary care doctor. They found nothing wrong with her and sent her off to multiple different doctors with no answers. 

March of 2019, she had found a local naturopath who listened to her and advocated for her health as Sydney could barely walk and had to quit school and work. Over the next 6 months she was diagnosed with Lyme disease but kept getting worse. Sydney took healing and researching into her own hands which then made her come across "Mold Toxicity Illness" and all her symptoms matched up to it. 

In November of 2019, she found tons of mold hiding in her hvac closet which was permeating throughout her entire apartment. She moved out and started healing with integrative medicine. Over the next year she made progress but not a ton. She never thought she would have to live this nightmare again but was wrong. She finally got out of mold in February of 2021, as her Mom's house had hidden mold in the attic which caused no progression in Sydney's health as well as her Mom and sister's health had declined. 

Through this journey she has found her true passion in holistic health and energy healing. She is a certified reiki practitioner and is also going to school to become an integrative health practitioner to help others who are chronically ill and have lost hope.
