Founder
Balance CBD was proudly founded in 2017. Fortuitously, my path crossed with many different health professionals and doctors in 2014 while attending a health conference in Vancouver, BC.
Touted for its many health benefits, I am a testament to CBD’s life-changing properties. Prior to my CBD journey I was an international fitness competitor and at peak health.
In 2014, I was raising three children, running a private fitness studio, and training for the most significant fitness contest of my life — the Arnold Shwarzennegar classic. I was going full tilt when things came to a grinding halt.
Many years of competing as a natural athlete had me drained physically and mentally. Every morning I woke up exhausted and getting through the day was incredibly laborious. I was falling into darkness. Depression and anxiety set in. For the first time, I was unable to keep up to my health standards.
I exhausted all avenues to find a remedy for my health issues. I spoke to doctors, trainers, and experts in my field of health and nutrition. All gave me their “best” medical opinions. The diagnosis was autoimmune disorders, chronic adrenal fatigue, menopause, and insomnia. They gave me regiments to follow to relieve my symptoms, but nothing worked.
In 2015, I tried CBD for the first time, and it changed my life. I had been dealing with chronic adrenal fatigue for years, and, for the first time in a long time, I felt better. It was at that moment that I realized I wanted to share the transformative power of CBD with others. It was here where the concept of Balance CBD was born.
