How My Pain Led Me to Holistic Health and the Arukah Healer Certification Program

I never expected to go from being a NASA computer scientist to becoming a holistic healer, but sometimes life takes us on unexpected journeys. My health crisis, which nearly led me to a hospital bed, is what sparked this transformation. After years of debilitating migraines, I reached a point where I couldn’t function—my business, my family life, and everything I held dear were at risk. When the doctor couldn’t find anything wrong with me, despite my intense pain, I knew something had to change. That’s when I decided to take my health into my own hands.

From High-Tech to Holistic Healing: A Shift in Perspective

In 2003, I left my high-pressure job as a computer scientist at NASA to start a family and become an entrepreneur. I began working in digital marketing for Silicon Valley tech companies, and soon after, I was juggling motherhood and entrepreneurship. However, everything changed when I started experiencing severe migraines. I was taking over-the-counter medication, but it only worked temporarily. The root cause of my pain remained elusive.

One night, the pain became so unbearable I thought I was dying. Rushed to the emergency room, the doctor initially suspected a brain tumor, but after a series of tests, she delivered the shocking news: “There’s nothing wrong with you.” With no answers and no solutions, I decided to seek them out on my own. This was the start of my journey into holistic health.

Discovering the Root Cause and the Power of Self-Healing

I dove deep into studying nutrition, herbalism, and holistic health. What I found was life-changing. I realized I had been lacking essential nutrients, such as B12, which was a major contributor to my migraines. As I continued my education, I discovered the works of holistic pioneers like Dr. Weston A. Price, who studied the diets of healthy, native peoples around the world. Their diets, which were rich in animal products, led me to realize the importance of eating nutrient-dense foods to restore balance in my own body.

Through this process, I also learned the power of mindset. As a high-achieving entrepreneur, I had been living a stressful life with little regard for balance. Holistic life coaching became an essential part of my healing journey, helping me to not only address my physical symptoms but also to transform my approach to life and business.

Building the Arukah Holistic Healer Certification Program

In 2009, I founded Arukah.com, but it wasn’t until a few years later that I launched the Arukah Holistic Healer Certification Program. The program was born out of my desire to help others who, like me, struggled to find answers in conventional medicine. The program blends nutrition, herbalism, life coaching, and online business strategies to help individuals heal themselves and others.

Through this program, I’ve empowered countless students—including doctors and entrepreneurs—to heal from the root cause of their health issues and build successful, fulfilling businesses. One student, for example, helped her husband recover from years of suffering with colitis, showing that healing goes beyond just treating symptoms.

The Importance of Holistic Success

True success, for me, goes beyond just business or wealth. It includes health, relationships, and personal growth. I’ve come to understand that without your health, nothing else matters. Through the Arukah program, I teach my students that balance is key, and they can create a life that aligns with their health and spiritual goals.

Whether you’re already in the medical field or starting fresh, the Arukah Holistic Healer Certification Program offers the tools, knowledge, and support you need to heal others and yourself. I encourage you to take the first step toward transforming your life and health, just as I did.
