ABOUT ME
At 16 years old, after sexual assault, bullying, and family troubles, I hit rock bottom. I knew that there was no way I could keep living the life I was, so I convinced my worried parents that I needed to be homeschooled.
Though social isolation can be super challenging, having so much free time introduced me to the physique development world, and I became obsessed. I decided to compete in my first NPC bodybuilding competition, and shortly after, got certified through NASM as a trainer and sports nutritionist.
I was in the gym 7 days a week, training both myself and my personal training clients. I tracked every food to the gram on My Fitness Pal, and went on to compete at another bodybuilding competition at 17 years old. But with the extreme stress of dieting paired with repressed emotions, my body started shutting down. I started gaining weight, breaking out in hives, had diarrhea, bloating, yeast infections and panic attacks.
I searched for answers in GI specialists, naturopaths, registered dietitians all to be told to take anxiety medication and to eat more fiber - but I knew deep down that there was a way to heal, and I was determined to figure it out.
I decided to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner through the NTA to use food as medicine. From there, I learned how to read comprehensive stool testing to figure out exactly what was going on in my gut so I could use herbal medicine to treat myself. And through lots of trial and error, I learned the importance of a meditation practice and processing emotions with somatic work, so I became a meditation teacher.
7 years later and I am now symptom free. I have clear skin, healthy bowel movements, I can weight train again, and most importantly, I’m excited to wake up in the morning.
Which brings me to my why.
My 1-1 coaching, programs and masterclasses are here to guide you through the same protocols, meditations, and lifestyle changes that allowed myself and hundreds of my clients to drastically change their lives and heal from PCOS, IBS, SIBO.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:
"This is the first time in years that I feel I've had a solid plan for improving my health. The changes I've already seen in just shy of a month are so incredible! For the past four years, I've just dreaded the future when it came to my health. It's always seemed to decline no matter what lifestyle changes I've tried implementing and I've felt so lost. All testing I had done over the years came back within average ranges more or less and I honestly began to wonder if some of this was in my head. I was confused and lost enough to question if I really was experiencing these symptoms! Working with Sydona has given me a tremendous sense of relief I've never had before. All of my symptoms are taken into consideration, and there is a solid plan behind how we will tackle them. Any concerns or questions I have, we take the time to evaluate and go over. I feel that this is the first time in my adult life that I've been able to take back control of my health. It's been such a wonderful feeling to know that my coach is truly committed to improving my health and overall quality of life!"

“I would suggest they apply because a holistic and customized approach is what made all the difference for me … I tried so much on my own before and visited so many (also good) doctors, but no one was really able to help me since they only looked at my lab results instead of my stress levels and nutrition …”

“Lo is real. She has experienced similar challenges that we all face and has the empathy and excitement for helping others. She is always available and truly lets her passion show. It’s contagious. And she’s vulnerable which has really allowed me to be honest with her. But she’s an expert which makes the investment so worth while.”
