How did Snapshots of Wellness come to fruition?

I have curated this Chicago brand, Snapshots of Wellness.

Snapshots of Wellness will transition into a digital website eventually - a professional market for what I hope to be an intellectually stimulating wellness education within one space. For now, it's a personal outlet to share what I have learned about wellness with all of you.

'Snapshots' originated from my passion for capturing 'life' on film/photography and 'Wellness' from learning that wellness is all encompassing via how we choose to live our lives spiritually, mentally, emotionally & physically. And believing at the core of 'Wellness' is our faith. Thus, my brand was born.

My background is in medical sales & working in numerous fields in health. Since college, I have had the complete privilege of being involved in all aspects of medical academia from sitting in on burn surgeries & then watching those people's bodies fully heal from traumatic injuries. I've sat through 10 hour surgeries where people who couldn't see are able to again. I have participated in & sat through over 230+ surgeries during my first two years of biotech medical sales.  I have participated in & organized journal clubs in the top medical academic institutions in the city of Chicago, I have led hundreds of speaker dinners for the top physicians of various specialties across the U.S.. I have traveled all over the country learning about 'illness', 'medicine' & the health 'system'. 

With that being said, I also experienced life as a patient which carries a great deal of irony. As a result, I have had the opportunity to view life from those that are suffering's point of view b/c I too have suffered greatly. Notice I chose the words -  'I have had the 'opportunity' - because it has in fact been an opportunity to experience life through the lens of sickness and suffering. I have gotten to be a part of 'medical academia' directly through the eyes of patients lying in hospital beds. Because I am one of them.

I have participated in all aspects of health from being a consistent long term leader in the organization I was a part of for 14 years -  to standing next to & holding the hands of patients about to go under anesthesia - to sitting down and walking patients through how to heal  -to crying on the chest of a friend as he left this earth in his 40's  - to eulogizing my dad at his funeral - to looking into the eyes of a child trying to explain to them what their chronic illness actually means -  to being a patient myself looking for hands to hold while I heal from a rare autonomic condition.

It would be a shame to encapsulate all of the lessons so, I am choosing to scatter them across my website.

I know suffering. And I know how to rise up. I only know the latter because of the community I am surrounded with b/c they have been my shoulders & hands when I didn't have strength. Through what would appear to be a fall into a pit, I have never been more spiritually, emotionally or mentally well in my lifetime. And I have a lot to teach you about wellness - how healing takes a village - how faith in Christ is at the core (for me) and how wellness seeps into all aspects of life......like a forest fire. It's amazing! And healthy living is this ever evolving process where - no matter what come what may - you cannot go backwards anymore - only forward.


So my burning passion for tailoring this site towards all aspects of wellness runs deep in my soul.  Expect a wide array of topics from food, health, animal & children advocacy, travel, social justice, sustainable agriculture and more.  Content from GirlGoneVeg.com has transferred over to this site.

In addition to my brand, you are welcome to request my media kit to explore my entire professional portfolio.

I appreciate you reading my words - sharing your thoughts - and inspiring me to 'DO' as much as I hope to inspire you! Let's join forces and GIVE-SERVE-LOVE-SAVE those that need us around the globe. And my hope is that you say yes to wellness - yes to 'doing' - and yes to Him in the process. And by Him, I mean Jesus.
