About Me
MY WELLNESS JOURNEY BEGAN 20 YEARS AGO
I didn’t feel well. I was fairly young — only in my 30s —but I had chronic sinus infections and joint pain. And it wasn’t only me — my three young sons had chronic ear infections, and my entire family suffered from various allergies.
Seeking relief, I took a traditional route with a packed schedule of doctor’s visits. But I became frustrated with the conventional wisdom I was getting from deemed “healthcare” professionals. Frankly, it was making me crazy. There had to be a better way!
So, my family and I inched our way onto a different path: holistic health. Yoga, Homeopathy, Ayurveda, NAET, Chinese medicine, chiropractic, and reading, lots of reading. The stress led me into my own path to personal transformation as I engaged in a process of self-inquiry.
It started with a 12 step program, that lead me to more spiritual exploration. I was introduced to Reiki which led me to further spiritual seeking, then attending yoga classes, and finding a CSA (common now, but this was 18 years ago). I became inspired to get a yoga teacher certification.
Then another. Then another! Next, I delved into Gestalt training and then a Holistic Health Coach certification. And as a student of life, my learning continues every. single. day.
This, in essence, has been my journey: Learn and discern. Seeking has opened me to many perspectives and practices. From those experiencesI have experimented and discerned what’s true and valuable for me in the laboratory of my body. For more than 15 years I have tuned in to discover how foods, movement, and different modalities of wellness and healing impact my well being. I keep what works for me and let go of what doesn’t … decisions I make based on my inner experience, and not blindly on what the latest study says is best.
And while I have a greater, richer understanding of what works best for me and my own body, I also respect the fact that we are all incredibly unique. What’s nourishing for one person might not be healthy for another. Because what’s real and true for each of us is different, I can help you discover what’s real and true for you, too.
I look forward to getting to know you!
