From CONSTIPATED kid, ANXIOUS teen, to LEAKY gut (sometimes anxious) adult…
To WELLNESS advocate on a journey of WHOLENESS, BALANCE, and EMPOWERING others.
Welcome to the Poopism™ movement, where we're all about empowering you on your unique wellness journey through dismantling beliefs and redefining your vision and goals.
I’m Barbie, the passionate founder and creator of Poopism™ - here to share a story that’s close to my heart. It all started with a curious toddler moment (read full story here), but evolved into a lifelong quest for wholeness, balance, and well-being.
For over 30 years, I've navigated the complexities of digestive health, living with challenges like chronic constipation, gastritis, anemia, ADHD, allergies, and a recently diagnosed MTHFR gene mutation. My 2024 New Year's resolution was a turning point—prioritize my health and put myself first. Little did I know, that resolution would start a health revolution that changed my entire life. My wellness company manifested during a pivotal moment in my health that ultimately led me to resign from a career that I loved. For years, I had been silently battling with gut health issues that impacted my mental, physical and emotional wellness.
At Poopism™, we're all about embracing the challenges, learning from them, and inspiring others to do the same. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been enlightening. I've experienced the highs and lows, from childhood misdiagnosis to adult health crises, and learned that wellness is about more than just annual check-ups, eating organic food, 8 cups of water a day, or occasional mindful practices. It's about slowing down and deeply reflecting on your bio-individuality. And, more importantly about dismantling beliefs, shifting your mindset, practicing radical acceptance, and being open to the support you need.
With a career that spans 15+ years in politics, non-profits, banking, tech-finance, including my personal journey navigating Western and holistic medicine, along with the ups and downs of adulting. I'm committed to supporting you - whether you're managing histamine intolerance, anemia, gene mutations, considering a health sabbatical, or simply seeking to improve your gut health, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
Together, we’ll dive into the sometimes taboo world of gut and digestive health, offering personalized coaching and workshops to help you feel your best. Whether you're learning new strategies to manage stress or uncovering what’s holding you back, you’ll find a safe, supportive space here.
