How I started Sicoli Wellness and Nutrition
My Story
Hi there! I'm Valentina, and I’m so glad you found your way to my little corner of the web. Whether you stumbled here by chance or are looking to learn more about what I do, I’m excited to share a bit about myself.
There was a time in my life when I felt completely out of sync with my body. It was as if my energy had been drained, and no matter what I did, everything felt like a struggle. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and dysautonomia, two conditions that wreaked havoc on my body and my life.
Hypothyroidism slowed me down, leaving me feeling exhausted, mentally foggy, and unable to keep up with even the simplest tasks. I was always cold, even in warm weather, and no matter how much I rested, I couldn't shake the fatigue. Dysautonomia, on the other hand, was like a constant rollercoaster. My heart rate would race uncontrollably, my blood pressure would fluctuate unpredictably, and I felt dizzy and faint on a regular basis. It was as if my body had become a malfunctioning machine, and I had no control over it.
Doctors prescribed medications, but the relief they offered was often temporary or inadequate. The more I took the pills, the more I realized that they weren't addressing the root causes of my symptoms. I felt like I was trapped in a cycle of managing symptoms but not really healing.
I began to search for answers outside of conventional medicine, desperate to find a way to feel better—not just to mask the symptoms, but to truly reclaim my health and vitality. That’s when I discovered naturopathy. At first, it seemed like a leap of faith. I had heard of it, but I didn’t know much about it. However, as I read more about it, I found myself drawn to the holistic approach that naturopaths take—addressing the mind, body, and spirit, instead of just focusing on the disease.
I learned that naturopathy is rooted in the idea that the body has an innate ability to heal itself when given the proper tools. By focusing on natural remedies like nutrition, herbal medicine, lifestyle changes, and stress management, I began to understand how I could empower my body to heal. For the first time in years, I felt a glimmer of hope.
I decided to dive deeper into this field, enrolling in a nutrition program first, then going full time back to school to study Naturopathy to understand how I could use these principles to heal myself and help others in the process. Through my studies of several seminar and certifications, I gained invaluable knowledge about the interconnectedness of our systems, how the gut affects everything from our immune system to our mood, and how lifestyle habits such as sleep, exercise, and mindfulness are key to long-term health.
I started to apply these principles in my own life, slowly but surely. I adjusted my diet to support my thyroid health, incorporating foods rich in iodine, selenium, and zinc. I began using herbs known for their adaptogenic properties to help my body better manage stress. I learned how to balance my nervous system and incorporate practices like Biodecoding, NLP and breathwork to calm my dysautonomia symptoms.
Gradually, I began to feel better. The fog lifted, my energy was better than ever, and I felt more in control of my body than I had in years. The constant rollercoaster ride of dysautonomia became less frequent, and my thyroid levels began to stabilize like never before. I had finally found a path that helped me heal from the inside out, and I wanted to share that gift with others.
Our Program
We start with a detailed questionnaire prior to our first consultation where you will be able to tell me more about yourself and why you decided to start a nutrition program. We will structure a unique individualized plan where we ultimately discuss milestones, goals and expected outcomes.
Once the initial consultation is completed, we will have your, 30-day personalized plan created, along with meal options and basic organic wellness supplementation. An accompanying full spectrum detox program will be added to your custom 30-day plan should we determine you need a gut rebalance.
Don't worry will be with you every step of the way. We will review progress once a week and give you the knowledge of what foods to purchase and most importantly which ones to avoid. In addition, we will provide further insight into the type of ingredients you should be considering so you can make an educated decision on what to buy.
