I’m Serena and I am a mom, actress, Crohn’s girl, ACE Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Holistic Nutritionist, and Holistic Wellness Professional.
As a mom I have found there are so many toxins right inside our homes that we, along with our families, are exposed to every day.
That toxic exposure can wreak havoc on our health and general wellbeing.
I started this blog years ago, first as a personal journey to document my own health dealing with Crohn’s disease, then it slowly turned into a resource for women and natural living.
Stumbling upon natural health was no accident. Even though I had an extensive background in pharmaceutical and clinical research I was already in the mindset of natural health and didn’t even know it.
As a person living with Crohn’s I’ve always tried dealing with it with meds only as needed, eventually being able to get off meds for the past 7+ years. I am one that truly believes we can use integrative ways to improve our health and our bodies will let us know when those ways are working.
I was able to push that natural health mentality further when I stumbled upon a continuing education course as part of my renewal as a Certified Personal Trainer with the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and the rest is history.
Education:
Learning of the toxic products right in your own home is a real eye opener. Our home should be the safest & healthiest place for us, but IT IS NOT.
Replacing your products even a little bit at a time can have a BIG impact later.
If you agree, I invite you to stick around and explore!

Hi Serena, I have noticed that you do not mention honey, or any bed products in your holistic medical treatments. Is there a reason? I have been using them for years and have had great results. Recently diagnosed with crohns, I tried Lialda, which I had an allergic reaction to. Then went on prednisone and azothiaprine after a hospital stay. I wouldn’t recommend any of those drugs to anyone. I started taking royal jelly in raw natural, non powdered form. It has worked wonders for me. I do believe the body can work on healing itself. Thanks for all your information. Holly
Hi Holly! There was actually no reason why any of that stuff was not mentioned. I use honey, but not for my Crohn’s so I am glad you were able to share how it has helped you. Yes, the body has the ability to heal itself if given the chance. It takes patience, but for sure something will work eventually. Thank you for sharing!
