After suffering for years with Ulcerative Colitis, Cresencia went to various holistic, integrative, and functional practitioners from all over the world, learning different methods to activate self healing and restore the mind, body, and spirit. She was urged to surgically remove her colon and that she would have to be on medications for life. She has been medicine free for more than 15 years and never removed her colon. She has learned the importance of addressing key factors for health: nutritional deficiencies, gut health, lifestyle habits, mindset, trauma and its effect on the brain and body, suppressed emotions, environmental toxins, and spirituality.

Influential people along her journey along with God inspired her to pursue a doctorate in naturopathic medicine to help people one-on-one. Cresencia was trained as a primary care natural medicine physician and has studied many fields to create a holistic approach to wellness such as neuroscience, psychoneuroimmunology, mind-body healing, shamanism, trauma healing, energy healing, mindset coaching, and psychedelic therapies. She works now as a healing consultant.
