NOW ACCREDITED FOR 60 CEs BY THE AMERICAN NATUROPATHIC MEDICAL CERTIFICATION BOARD

MY STORY

My journey into health wasn’t a choice—it was a necessity. At just 13, I experienced early liver damage from Roaccutane, coupled with dramatic, rapid weight loss and an inherited toxic load. From a young age, I was immersed in sports, nutrition, and self-care, not just out of interest but as a means to manage chronic symptoms. This ever-growing fascination with biology led me to study Health Science at Loyola University Chicago.

After completing my studies, I moved to New Zealand, where I pursued Naturopathy at Wellpark College in Auckland. From there, I expanded my clinical expertise with Quantum Reflex Analysis and Kinesiology, followed by a deep dive into HTMA mineral balancing, recognizing that minerals form the biochemical foundation of all bodily processes. To refine my approach further, I studied under Dr. Karen Merveldt Guevara, developing a precise methodology in functional blood chemistry to create targeted, effective protocols. Additionally, I trained in DUTCH hormone testing and Organic Acids Testing, integrating these insights into my clinical framework.

In 2009, at 26 years old, I began my naturopathic practice in New Zealand, where I built a thriving one-on-one clinic for eight years. Upon relocating to France in 2017, I transitioned to working fully online, founding Holistic Health by Sheila—a practice that now serves clients worldwide. While my work emphasizes biliary health, it naturally encompasses adrenals, sex hormones, thyroid health, infections, mineral balancing, and autoimmunity, offering a truly comprehensive approach to healing.

It wasn’t until I combined a profound understanding of biochemistry, HTMA, functional blood chemistry, OAT, and DUTCH testing that I was able to fully heal my chronic symptoms—rooted in liver health, bile composition, thyroid and adrenal function, mineral imbalances, pathogens, and toxic load. This healing journey influenced my online presence, which naturally evolved into an educational space, driven by

my deep passion for sharing the knowledge that healed me.

Today, my mission is to share this knowledge with you in this course, equipping practitioners and individuals with the tools to create true, lasting health transformations.
