ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Kendall Hitch and I am an Integrative Health Practitioner, specializing in women living with autoimmunity, chronic symptoms and chronic pain.
My current business and life’s purpose was born out of my own experience, years of chronic health problems and being told that “everything looks fine” while I felt my mental and physical health slowly deteriorating as I tried my best to heal myself on my own.
As early as I can remember, I suffered from severe digestive problems, which prompted several trips to the emergency room as a young girl all the way into my years in university. Once I reached puberty, around the age of 13, I started to experience episodes of depression and anxiety, as I was quickly prescribed an antidepressant that made me feel even more out of place in my already confusing teenage years.
Further down the line, hormonal acne and migraines prompted a prescription for birth control at the age of 16. I started to gain weight quickly, I always felt bloated and irritable but I did not know why. Once I got into college, I went through two very traumatic life events and my health problems became more severe, I started to experience disordered eating patterns after trying to drastically reduce my caloric intake in order to lose weight. I had anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, chronic joint pain, and ongoing chronic bacterial and viral infections.
I had dreams of working in the international non-profit world, so I undertook several internships around the world. But my symptoms continued to get worse and my free time was spent in and out of doctors offices in a variety of languages.
One day, I woke up and I could barely walk out the door without severe pain, my neck hurt so badly I couldn’t even turn my head.
The intensity of my symptoms provoked me to go back to the US and pressure my doctors into looking deeper into my case, this couldn’t be “normal” as I had been told.
Eventually, I was diagnosed with three autoimmune conditions, one of which being Lupus. A systemic autoimmune condition that has the potential to gravely impact multiple organ systems and shorten one’s lifespan.
While I was told there was no cure, I would be on medication my entire life, that my symptoms would likely only get worse and it was just a waiting game, I decided not to accept this “fate” that had been prescribed to me and I set out to investigate the world of natural healing and mind-body medicine.
Since this moment about 7 years ago, I changed my career path and I discovered my life’s purpose.
LET'S CONNECT
As I went through my own healing journey, I was amazed by the innate power the body has to heal itself (both mentally and physically) when given the correct inputs. By first addressing my mindest and stress levels and then moving onto evidence-based dietary and lifestyle modifications, I was able to come off of all my medications and lead a more peaceful and joyful life.
I was deeply inspired by own transformation, as getting better was something I had never imagined to be possible. I decided to study natural medicine, nutrition, public health, mindfulness, breathwork, health coaching, life coaching, and somatic healing so that I could use these tools to heal others as well.
Through my own healing experience, my time working with top natural medicine MDs in a functional medicine practice out of New York and thousands of hours of education, I have created a comprehensive healing program to help YOU restore balance to your body and mind!
I strongly believe that long term healing does not take place only in the body or only in the mind, but rather an intelligent combination of both. This requires a deeply individualized approach to care that sets you up with a toolox, habits and knowledge to take with you for the rest of your life.
