Whether you want to grow spiritually, a wellness journey that includes God as the foundation for your healing, or focus on healthy living at home, that’s where I come in!

I can help you enhance your quality of life by focusing on your faith, your health, and overall wellbeing. I’ll be sharing all things faith & wellness that I’ve learned over the years.

You’re in the right place and it’s a safe space! Grab some tea and let’s get to know each other.

Why Holy Appetite

Holy Appetite is a Christian lifestyle community dedicated to helping all women grow in faith, embrace faith-based wellness, and live a healthy faith-based life overall. A faith & wellness journey that includes God in all aspects is the main focus around here! The name was birthed out of my passion for communion with God, healing naturally without harmful side-effects, honoring my temple with a healthy lifestyle, and the importance of keeping our appetites balanced in a Godly way.

I have found that the sure way to obtain true health is to find balance. We must focus on balancing all the appetites in our lives that go beyond just-food. If we allow our appetites to get out of control, we ultimately find ourselves in a state of unbalance.

I want women to enjoy their Christian lives while feeling good on the inside, plus gather the tools they need to journey through life with peace!

Whether you are new to this or have been journeying for some time, YOU ARE WELCOMED HERE and you add value!

A look into my Faith Journey

My faith walk began when I was 13 years old. I can remember the day I was saved at a friend’s church like it was yesterday. As a teenager, my parents would always find me at the foot of my bed saying my morning and evening prayers. Before a war room was a thing, I would go into my closet for 1 on 1 time with God. At the time I didn’t know what I was doing, but something deeper was drawing me toward God. Prior to this period of my life, my grandmother always had us in church. I strongly believe seeds were sown in me that later blossomed into a beautiful walk with God.

Later, my father and mother became intrigued with learning the bible more. We began studies in our home for years that covered the bible verse by verse and chapter by chapter. During this time I studied the bible with a concordance and learned how to break down the Hebrew and Greek dialect and the true meaning of the scriptures.

In 2014, my husband and I started our own home bible study called Winds of Change Empowerment Night that we hosted in our home for over 5 years. My husband taught (he has a Master’s in Christian ministry) and I led worship. I learned I had a gift for worship and entering into the presence of God early on.

In my own devotional times: I would worship until the spirit fell, worship in my car, and experience things you only saw done at church gatherings. Because of this, It felt so good to finally be leading others in the presence of God.

It wasn’t until I was in my late twenties that I started to tap into my spiritual gifts: powerful prayer, prophetic insights, word of knowledge, and community.

My spiritual gifts grew stronger as God introduced me to voice lessons, demonic oppression, and others who needed help. I started to notice people coming to me with life or death situations, and God gracing me to help them through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

This followed me wherever I went: work, at home, with friends, family, etc.

The story you will read below (my health & wellness journey) further exploded my spiritual gifts …

A look into my Journey to Health

Back in 2015, is when I started my health & wellness journey. Back then, something scary yet beautiful happened! My body and my mind began to turn on me, literally! I was sick all the time, tired, overweight, filled with anxiety and fear, having panic attacks, addicted to destructive thinking, breaking out in hives, and getting into numerous car accidents.

The anxiety had gotten so bad that I was not able to work for 2 weeks. My mind & body was shutting down, and concentration had become a luxury for me. During this time all I did was sleep, worry, pray, and cry. I went to numerous doctors and no one knew what was wrong with me!

It was at this point that I knew something had to change!! AND BIG TIME!!! I quickly realized that the way I was eating, thinking, and processing my emotions had a major influence on the way I was showing up in the world.

I quickly realized that I was in transition out of an old life into a new one. I ended up having a dream about a young lady, and strangely enough, I saw her at work! I was in shock to see her walk past me! I remember the dream very vividly and can still remember it to this day.

I ended up having the opportunity to talk with her and found out what she did and WHO SHE WAS.

Her name is Asia Barclay, and let me tell you, my life changed forever. She guided me on my health and wellness journey and then God took it from there. I revamped everything in my life!

My food and nutrition were a big part of it, but it did not stop there! On this journey, the following happened: I learned how to eat properly, cleansed a lot, and for months, found healthier alternatives to the foods I loved, juiced, deepened my prayer life, learned how to think properly, and started to process my emotions.

I soon understood that the reason I was not experiencing a life of happiness, peace, and wellness was because I was not feeding the right things in my life for that result! I was ignoring my emotions, abusing my body, and not leaning into my spirituality and creator.

That was 5 years ago, it was a rough journey; however, out of it, I gained a passion for nutrition, healthy alternatives, natural remedies, and helping others embrace/enhance their spirituality and relationship with God.
