"Eventually, the skills I learned to survive and recover, became the tools I use to thrive. "
Most stories of healing start the same: with hard earned lessons, fear, grief, or pain. My story started in that way but circumstances and repetitive patterns kept me from entering the second act. I felt as though the beginning of my journey would repeat itself endlessly. I spent 12 years in a loop of illness, of the mind and body, heaviness of heart, and longing for relief.
A Narrative of THRIVING.
Navigating the spectrum of loss, grief, pain, and fear I searched for solutions. Some worked and some made me feel much, much worse. It wasn't until I found mind-body medicine and functional nutrition that my true healing journey began.
​
Within 3 months of beginning a meditation practice the panic attacks dissolved. After one elimination diet my body began to heal and give me energy, clarity, and softness. I was able to start putting the pieces together and dream again.
Still, it felt like no one noticed my becoming. The moment some new blessed horror entered my life I crumbled. That led to doubts about what I was doing, and I would give up for a while.
There I was, back at the beginning- unsure what went wrong, unable to recognize any progress I'd made, resentful of my perceived failure, and oblivious to the biological mechanisms that perpetuated my relapses into despair.
​
With belief in my own capability and fear of burdening my few closest friends- I struggled and forged forward without the support I needed. I faltered many, many times. I cannot describe how desperately I wanted an ally- someone to see my soul striving. I needed a coach.
​
Yet with each lesson, I grew stronger. With every challenge, I gained a deeper knowledge of myself. I learned what choices I had, how to tap into a vast version of myself, and how to trust that. I learned how to commune with my deepest desires.
lost in a biological feedback loop...i needed a coach.
