My Personal Wellness Journey
I have not always been well. In fact, for many years I was quite ill. It's my journey to wellness, despite my diagnosis, that has inspired me to do this work. I believe that vitality and well-being live within everyone. It's simply a matter of uncovering it.
Diagnosed with chronic autoimmune and digestive issues at an early age, I lived for years with pain, distress, and despair. I was in and out of hospitals and doctor's offices, trying everything allopathic medicine had to offer. Thankfully, more than once, Western medicine saved my life, but I never felt truly healed until I discovered the power of Eastern practices that led to my path for healing.
I was introduced to Ayurveda, specifically Vedic Sciences in 1999. I received a consolation that outlined, in simple terms, through an Ayurvedic lens, my specific, bio-individual lifestyle needs (food, exercise, career, play, etc.). I learned that there is not one path to wellness for everyone, that my body would tell me what I needed to heal, and that it would meet me more than halfway as I committed towards this journey of wellness. Ultimately, my Vedic Birth Chart outlined exactly who I had always known I was, and permitted me to be just that.
Now, for more than twenty years, I have been experiencing physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, and have felt truly healed from the inside out.
In 2007 I was certified as a Vedic Life-Blueprint counselor and have counseled hundreds of people towards better health. I use this knowledge in my multi-dimensional approach to health coaching.
