Creating The Infinite Woman Method

The Story Behind the Work

I have always classified myself as an athlete.

I was a runner in high school and college, the kind who loved discipline, early mornings, and pushing my limits. In college, I discovered strength training, and everything shifted. I fell in love with lifting. At 19, I became a certified personal trainer. It was a passion, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would become my career, let alone the foundation of my own women’s health business.

At first, I simply loved movement. But as I worked with more clients, I started to feel limited. As a trainer and nutrition coach, I could program workouts and structure macros, but I sensed there was something deeper happening in the body that I wasn’t fully equipped to address.

So in 2018, I went back to school to earn my Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

PT school changed everything.

We didn’t just study muscles, we studied the human body from the inside out. Through anatomy labs, I traced every ligament and fascial connection, understood how arteries and veins nourish tissue, and saw firsthand the intricacy of the digestive system. We went deep into the nervous system and its influence over every organ, every hormone, every muscle contraction. I began to understand how little room there is for dysfunction before an entire system begins to dysregulate.

And that’s when I started questioning my own health.

The Athlete Who Felt “Off”

I had been on birth control since I was 16 due to ovarian cysts and extremely heavy, painful, irregular cycles. I had also been diagnosed with a hypertonic pelvic floor — muscles so tight they caused chronic low back and tailbone pain that often mimicked sciatica. Intercourse was painful. I had what I called a “tiny bladder.”

In my 20s, anxiety and bouts of depression would hit hard. I thought it was something I just needed to manage. Every month before my period, I experienced joint flare-ups that left me exhausted and inflamed. What started as one painful day eventually turned into a full week of body aches, brain fog, and fatigue. I called them my “dumb days.”

But I kept going.

I worked full-time as a fitness coach and bartended on weekends. I trained hard. I was social. I was high-functioning. I didn’t slow down.

Until my body forced me to.

The Breaking Point

At 30 — just before graduating as a Doctor of Physical Therapy — everything escalated. I gained 15 pounds in a year without changing my diet or training. My anxiety became unmanageable, and I was placed on medication. The flare-ups were more frequent. The bloating and constipation were constant. Brain fog and exhaustion became my baseline.

I saw specialists. An endocrinologist told me my labs were normal. A gastroenterologist suggested food sensitivities. I was tested for Lyme disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune disorders.

Everything came back “normal.”

But I knew something was wrong.

Finding the Root Cause

So I turned to functional testing.

Through a GI-MAP stool test and a comprehensive saliva hormone panel, the picture became clear. My gut was inflamed and missing key keystone bacteria responsible for regulating inflammation and maintaining a healthy intestinal lining. My cortisol levels were extremely low throughout the day — a sign of chronic stress adaptation and adrenal dysfunction. My progesterone and estriol (E3), hormones critical for mood stability, sleep, and tissue health, were nearly nonexistent.

It wasn’t random.

It was system-wide dysregulation.

The bloating.
The joint pain.
The anxiety.
The pelvic floor tension.
The exhaustion.

Everything was connected.

Rebuilding From the Root

I didn’t just add supplements. I rebuilt my foundation.

I created a consistent sleep routine and treated sleep like medicine. I committed to 5–10 minutes of daily breathwork and meditation to regulate my nervous system. I reduced how much I was exercising — which, as an athlete, was one of the hardest shifts — and focused on intentional strength training with yoga for recovery instead of constant high output.

I temporarily cut out alcohol and caffeine to give my body space to recalibrate. (Now I enjoy a morning matcha and the occasional drink, but from a regulated place.) I focused on whole, nutrient-dense foods and eliminated processed options that were adding stress to my system.

Slowly, my inflammation calmed. My cycles regulated. The flare-ups stopped. My energy stabilized. My core grew stronger than it had ever been.

I was able to come off birth control and have had a regular, predictable period for over two years. I also weaned off my anxiety medication , something I had relied on for years, and have now been off it for nearly two years without issue.

Not because I pushed harder. But because I supported smarter.

The Birth of The Infinite Woman Method

The Infinite Woman Method was born from this experience.

I realized you cannot out-train hormone imbalance. You cannot macro your way out of nervous system dysregulation. You cannot stretch away pelvic floor dysfunction without addressing stress and inflammation.

Everything is connected.

The Infinite Woman Method integrates nervous system regulation, pelvic floor and deep core restoration, metabolic and hormone support, and intentional strength training into one cohesive, root-first approach.

It is not a quick fix.
It is not symptom management.
It is intelligent recalibration.

I created this method because I was the ambitious, high-performing woman who did everything “right” and still felt off.

Now I help other women rebuild from the inside out — so they don’t spend a decade guessing.

Because autonomy over your body isn’t optional.

It’s powerful.
