For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
-Mark 11:23
Hi, I’m Brea.
First, let me say I’m sorry you’re suffering. And secondly, I get it.
After playing varsity soccer for Princeton, my health seriously declined. Insomnia, exertion intolerance, autoimmunity and significant gut issues reared their ugly head. Eventually, my health devolved into severe ME/CFS, CIRS, MCAS and MCS. Desperate for help, I tried every conventional, holistic and functional medicine treatment available (including some questionable “biohack” suggestions). Nothing worked.
Following the birth of my third child in 2015, debilitating symptoms took control of my life; I became bed bound and could no longer take care of my kids. Extreme avoidance tactics helped me cope but only made me more sensitive to the environment. By 2017, I was living a nomadic life in the desert, isolated and homeless. At rock bottom, suicidal bouts, hopelessness and intense fear were my only companions.
But my life and heart turned around when I was introduced to two things: self-directed neuroplasticity and the Bible.
Following the tools of the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS), I successfully rewired my brain to health using God as my guide. Pouring into the Bible and allowing God to lead and anchor His truth in my heart was integral to my recovery. Now I coach others on how to achieve wholeness through faith coupled with brain-based programs to achieve soul-changing healing just like I experienced.
When I’m not coaching, I enjoy spending time with my three remarkable and inspiring children, coaching and playing soccer, running, talking to Jesus, attending Bible college and pursuing God.
My Education
Learning has always been a top priority of mine. While at Princeton, I longed to become a medical doctor but knew my body couldn’t keep up with the rigor. Instead, I earned a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (ahem, during my atheist days). I also earned a Master’s from Yale’s School of the Environment with the goal of creating a more sustainable world.
Since faith in God was so fundamental to my healing, digging deeper into the Bible for wisdom is paramount for me. Since I coach others using Scripture, I graduated from Charis Bible College.
My Faith Journey
When your life is stripped of everything, God has an opportunity to enter. At least that’s how it happened for me.
Although I had tried church, read a little of the Bible and even married a Christian man, God felt so distant, He didn’t exist. Atheism seemed like the logical way to go, and I soon came to view Christians as primitive, dumb and “holier than thou.”
But my healing options were running out, and God was looking to move in. Alone and isolated, I began reading the Bible with a man in the desert suffering from the same illness as me. I didn’t understand what I was reading. And I still didn’t believe the words. But I was asking questions, and when your heart is even the tiniest bit open to God, questions are a great place to start.
Eventually, the Bible slowly softened my hard heart. I started talking to God and feeling the tiniest twinges of His warmth and love. Unsure of what it meant, I said yes to Jesus.
My healing and faith journeys are lovingly intertwined, growing in my relationship with Jesus as I applied His truth with the tools of DNRS. Believing was not enough. Instead, God rooted His promises deep in my heart where I exercised my faith muscle to a recovery beyond anything I could imagine.
I have truly been born again, made new and given a second chance at life. Now my mission is to glorify God and help others wandering in their own desert to find faith and healing, too.

Hi, I’m Amber!
My symptoms of chronic illness began in early adolescence. By my mid-30s, I was suffering from food sensitivities, MCS, CIRS, anxiety, depression, post-exertional malaise, fatigue, and more. Previously, I worked as a radiographer before becoming a full-time stay-at-home mom. But after my "perfect storm," doing any kind of work was out of the question. After trying various conventional and functional medicine tactics, my sensitivities and health only worsened.
Then I was introduced to brain rewiring through the Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS). Gradually, my symptoms improved, but eventually, I felt stuck in my healing journey. That’s when I reached out to Brea for help.
Using Brea’s guidance and Bible-based teaching, I started to experience breakthroughs in limiting beliefs that were impeding my healing process. Now I work as a freelance copywriter in addition to being Brea's administrator. I live outside of Cincinnati with my husband and two teenage daughters where I enjoy reading, writing, crafting, fishing, and taking my dog for long walks.
