About Jacinta Willems
I was 18 years old and dealing with the diagnosis of a functional pituitary tumor. I felt lousy. I had no energy, my head was fuzzy, and the headaches were were driving me crazy. I had that yuck-all-over feeling, and my hormones were a mess. I was prescribed a medication that left me feeling even worse. I couldn’t function like that. There had to be another way. The endocrinologist’s reaction was threatening and unsupportive when I told him that I did not want to continue taking the medication he had prescribed. I knew there had to be another way.
Despite how lousy I was feeling, somewhere at the core of my being I knew that my body could heal. With a great deal of trepidation, I stopped the medication. I took the plunge and dove head first into healing. I did not know where I was headed, or how I would get there, but a trust in my body and in the process of life guided me.
That was my greatest moment of fear, and the most courageous moment of my life. Little did I know that it was to be the gift that would open the door to my life’s work - helping others to find the healing within themselves; a healing that leads to a life of vitality, purpose and joy.
Within two years of getting myself on track with nutrition, cleaning up the body and the gut, and balancing my hormones, I had my health back. I was full of energy and vitality and I had within me a deep conviction in the ability of the body to heal. That conviction was like a rock, a stronghold. It was unshakeable. What struck me was the simplicity of healing, a simplicity so obscured by the paradigm of the mainstream medical model at that time.
