Jessica created Yours truly Holistically because she wanted to create the change that she would like to see in the world. At around 11 Jessica went from being an incredibly healthy child to being in debilitating pain, night terrors & a list of symptoms that just went on & on. After countless doctor appointments, different specialist & hospital visits, she decided she might not receive answers so she tried to move forward as well as she could, until she couldn't. At around 20 Jessica could barely walk up the stairs of her University to get to class & then before she knew it, she could barely eat, drink or walk at all. Doctors weren't able to help her, they would just monitor her as much as they could. Alternative practitioners would sometimes refuse to help her out of fear of liability. Jessica had to fight for her life & self treat but she survived. She realized that you don't always get a choice in what life hands you but what you do with it is up to you, she decided to make something wonderful from it all & that is how Yours truly Holistically came to be. She created what she once needed in hope to prevent others from having to go through what she once did. As for a diagnosis, Jessica never really got a definite answer, she had antibodies for multiple tick born illnesses including Lyme disease, Babesia, Bartonella & Rocky mountain spotted fever. She's had liver symptoms including a mass. She was diagnosed with a heart condition. She's also had symptoms indicated in adrenal or hormonal imbalance. Digestive symptoms specifically liver or pancreatic related are also a possibility. She was also diagnosed with OCD which was often just seen as overthinking or perfectionism, anxiety, depression & there are suspicions of PTSD. She also struggled with disordered eating which was caused by diet culture & it being pushed by doctors as well as the lack of control she felt over her own body. Although she could label herself with many things, Jessica chose not to. She chose to see most of these as symptoms, similar to how one would see a cold- something that should be addressed & acknowledge but not something that has to become her. She found sometimes searching for answers only led to more questions. She doesn't believe in labels being the answers, instead she rather an approach that focuses on supporting every individual based on their needs. She has a focus on healing & nourishing. All to say, if you think you're too far gone I am living proof that there is still hope for you & we're here to help you find it. She decided she wanted to be the support she wish she could have had. She believes you don't get a say in the hand your dealt but what you do with it is up to you & she decided to do something incredible with her hand by creating Yours truly Holistically.
