The Zenka Effect - previously Autoimmune Warrior

09/21/2025

After several years as Autoimmune Warrior, I’ve rebranded my work under a new name: The Zenka Effect.

Why the change? Because my mission is no longer about “battling” illness. Instead, it’s about recognizing the wake-up calls life gives us — illness, fatigue, or burnout — and choosing to respond by being good to ourselves.

The Zenka Effect is about creating simple supportive ecosystems where the body, mind, and environment all work together. When we live in alignment, healing and renewal happen more naturally — energy, clarity, and resilience become the new normal.

This rebrand reflects what I’ve learned through my own recovery journey and from living in Costa Rica, where I saw firsthand how a clean, vibrant environment can support the body’s ability to heal. That lesson became the foundation of my work: creating the elements of Costa Rica in spaces and programs that make feeling great simpler, faster, and more sustainable.

✨️✨️✨️Imagine your body as a natural ecosystem, thriving when all its elements are in balance. Just like in nature, when this balance is disrupted—by toxins, stress, or neglect—the entire system struggles✨️✨️✨️✨️

Our ecosystem consists of three interconnected parts:
1) External influences like environmental toxins and stressors
2) How your body is being supported through nutrition, rest, and movement
3) How you are nourishing your mind and soul

When natural ecosystems are exposed to pollutants or stress, they can become imbalanced, leading to issues like soil degradation, water contamination, or the loss of plant and animal life.

Similarly, when your body is exposed to external toxins and stressors without adequate support, it struggles to maintain health.

However, by taking deliberate actions to strengthen these foundational areas—cleansing your environment, nurturing your body, and feeding your soul—you can restore balance.

This balance activates your body's self-healing mechanisms, allowing it to optimize health and support recovery from issues like fatigue, insomnia, skin conditions, anxiety, depression, inability to focus, and chronic illness.

Just as nature can regenerate and heal when given the right conditions, your body can do the same, thriving in an environment that supports its natural vitality.

Phase I - Empowered Action, guides you through an individualized plan to take the most impactful actions that balance your ecosystem and activate self-healing and optimization mechanisms.
There is a big focus environment. Making your home and work space a sanctuary that supports your health everyday without effort. Less commonly known factors like artificial light and EMF exposure are my specialty.

Phase II - Accelerate Results, is about investing in self-healing and optimization activating tools, therapies, and specialized providers to accelerate results and/or join a comprehensive Accelerator Group Retreat where you get it all in the healing environment of Costa Rica.

I have had such a wonderful experience with this client. Thank you Caitlin!

Dirk is such an amazing human and dedicated client!

The combination of modalities included frequency therapy with the Healy Device, IonCleanse ionic detox foot baths, Neuro-Biochemistry Balancing Technique (NBBT), and Contrast Therapy. Between this work and his actions at home to improve lifestyle and reduce environmental toxicity, his body’s natural ability to self-heal was activated in every possible way!

Of course we started with the roadmap that laid out the plan. A bit about that:

With a growing list of healing modalities and practical steps to consider in your journey back to health, from trauma releasing, to diet and the cleanliness of your water, wouldn’t it feel like a big hug if someone really got to know you and gave you a step-by-step plan that outlined exactly what would make an impact on your unique blueprint?

The first step in all of my programs including retreats is designed to do just this with a signature Assessment and Roadmap to Recovery and Vitality system developed over the last 7 years. After trying almost everything and working with hundreds of clients, I put together a roadmap of focus areas and action points that make the biggest impact in supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

I learn who you are as a person and where you are in your journey, what have you taken action on so far, and what remains to create a plan that helps you go to the next level in your journey and achieve what you desire in life.

Having a plan reduces the stress of where to begin for those getting started.

It is also an amazing detective process for those that have tried everything and have reached a plateau.

Please send a DM if you like to learn more.❤️❤️
