Hey  Friend I'm Haley

I’ve always believed I could heal, and I eventually did, but it was a lonely journey.

I suffered for 16 years. Truly suffered. Daily debilitating headaches, fatigue so bad that I sometimes couldn't even brush my teeth, flu like symptoms that would come and go with no reasoning, and brain fog so crushing that driving for that day was out of the question. 

Mainstream medical was doing little to help, so I started researching. I found a specialist and was finally given the right set of tests that showed I had lyme disease, leaky gut, very high mold in my blood, a bad parasitic infection and a co-infection of lyme- mycoplasma pneumoniae. This would have been scary for a lot of people but for me it was a sigh of relief. I WASN'T CRAZY. THE DOCTORS HAD BEEN DEAD WRONG. 

For the first time in my life (I was 34 at the time) I really looked at what I was consuming on a daily basis, what kind of water I was drinking, what toxins I was putting on my skin and in my home. I also discovered the healing power of herbs and natural remedies and I haven't looked back. I left my high paying corporate HR job to become an herbalist and help others heal. 

I did this all alone (besides my amazing supportive husband...but he was clueless too). All the research, tears, fears, feelings of overwhelm regarding how to incorporate this new lifestyle.

But you don't have to.

This is why I have created The Crunchy Club. I never want anyone to walk through their healing journey alone again.
