Jessica was 42 years old and a stay-at-home mom of four small children when she came to us. She homeschooled all of her kids—a responsibility that became extraordinarily challenging during 2020 and 2021.
When Jessica first reached out, she was drowning in anxiety and depression. But it wasn’t just that. She was also dealing with migraines, panic attacks, chronic fatigue, and insomnia, among other symptoms that were making it nearly impossible to show up for her family the way she desperately wanted to.
On top of her symptoms, Jessica was aware that she had unresolved trauma, both from childhood and from her adult life. She knew something deeper was driving her symptoms. She just didn’t know how to address it, or where to turn for real help.
What Jessica didn’t know yet was that her trauma wasn’t just emotional. There was also physical trauma buried in her body, including toxic mold and environmental chemicals that were causing neurological damage and keeping her trapped in a cycle of declining health.
By the time Jessica came to us, she had already tried conventional treatment. Like so many people we work with, she’d been struggling with these symptoms for years without finding any lasting relief.
We track client symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10—where 0 means no symptoms at all, and 10 indicates the most severe intensity. Looking at Jessica’s symptom sheet, she was rating her symptoms at fives, sevens, and eights across the board.
Her anxiety was a constant companion, and the panic attacks would hit out of nowhere. The migraines were absolutely debilitating. The chronic fatigue made it feel impossible to keep up with four young children who needed her. And the insomnia? It meant she couldn’t even rest and recover when she had the rare chance.
She was completely exhausted—mentally, emotionally, and physically. She knew she had unresolved trauma that needed attention, but she also had this nagging feeling that there was something else going on. Something no one had been able to identify or treat.
She was right.
Once we knew what we were dealing with—the mold, the chemicals, the unresolved trauma—we started working with Jessica using our mind-body-spirit approach. She learned how to address all the root causes that were creating trauma in her body.
Yes, she worked on eliminating the mold and chemicals from her system. That was critical. But she also dove into the unresolved trauma from both her childhood and her adult life. She worked through the unprocessed emotions she’d been carrying around for years. She examined and shifted her perception of herself and the world around her.
Through our program, Jessica learned not just how to uncover her root causes, but how to actually address them using simple tools that created powerful, lasting change.
Here’s the incredible part: in just about five months, Jessica made massive progress.
When you look at her symptom sheet side-by-side with where she started, the transformation is stunning. The woman who had been rating her symptoms at 5s, 7s, and 8s was now living life at a completely different level. Her symptoms had decreased significantly.
And this is huge. Because usually when people come to us, they’ve been struggling with their symptoms for years. They’ve tried everything else and gotten nowhere. Yet in a very short amount of time, Jessica experienced massive improvements in her health and well-being.
She wasn’t drowning in anxiety anymore. The panic attacks? Gone. The chronic fatigue that had made every single day feel impossible? Gone. She could actually sleep again. Most importantly, she could finally show up for her four children the way she’d always wanted to—present, energized, and emotionally available.
Jessica’s mold and chemical exposures weren’t just making her feel sick—they were actively traumatizing her nervous and endocrine systems. These toxins were literally changing her biochemistry and causing neurological damage. And here’s the truth: you can’t heal emotional trauma if your body is being physically traumatized by environmental toxins every single day.
Jessica knew she had unresolved trauma from her past. She was consciously aware of it. But even if she’d perfectly processed every emotional wound, she would have continued to struggle as long as those mold toxins and chemicals remained in her body. Real, lasting healing requires addressing both sides of the equation.
Like Jessica, most of our clients have been struggling for years and have genuinely tried everything before finding us. It’s not that they haven’t worked hard enough or tried enough different treatments. The real issue is that they haven’t found an approach that looks for all the root causes—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—and then actually addresses every single one.
Five months might sound incredibly quick for someone who’s been suffering for years, but that’s exactly what becomes possible when you stop just treating symptoms and start addressing root causes. When Jessica learned to eliminate the toxins, process the trauma, release the unprocessed emotions, and shift her perceptions—all at the same time—her body could finally heal.
Here’s what I love about Jessica’s story: she didn’t just passively receive treatment from us. She learned practical, repeatable tools. She now knows how to uncover her root causes and how to address them herself. That means she has the knowledge and skills to maintain her health and handle issues as they come up, rather than being dependent on someone else to fix her every time something goes wrong.
Maybe you’re a parent who’s struggling to show up for your kids because anxiety, fatigue, or other symptoms are completely draining you. Maybe you’ve tried everything under the sun, and nothing has given you lasting relief. Maybe you have this gut feeling that there’s something deeper going on, but no one has been able to help you figure out what it is.
If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know: you’re not alone.
Like Jessica, you might be dealing with both emotional trauma from your past and physical trauma in your present that’s been completely overlooked. You might have unresolved experiences working together with environmental toxins to keep you trapped in a cycle you just can’t break free from on your own.
If you’re recognizing yourself in Jessica’s story—if you’re exhausted from trying everything, running on empty while everyone around you depends on you, and you know deep down there’s something that needs to be addressed but you have no idea where to turn—I promise you, there is a path forward.
