About
In the not-too-distant past, I wasn’t living the life I wanted to lead. For starters, I weighed 230 pounds. Besides being massively overweight, I had high blood pressure, dangerously high cholesterol, and was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. But weight wasn’t the only problem. I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic depression, panic/anxiety disorder, and was suffering from eating disorder--both compulsive overeating and bulimia.
I tried so many different paths in my search to heal myself: drama therapy, talk therapy, acupuncture, massage, diets, personal trainers, etc. Therapy and energetic work helped me climb out of depression and release from anxiety and panic. Modifying my food and incorporating enjoyable regular exercise increased my energy level and steadied my moods. I even managed to shed and maintain a weight loss of over 85 pounds!
But I was still suffering from eating disorder, body image issues, and food obsession. I tried learning more about food and diets and joined Overeaters Anonymous. I read books and sought experts and…it just got worse.
That’s when I finally realized that IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE FOOD! Food is only the beginning. I knew what the supportive choices were, so why wasn’t I making them? I knew how to maintain my optimal health, so why wasn’t I doing it? I dove further into my process of expansion by pursuing formal educational training as well as mentorships and guided explorations. At last, I dropped the “stories” that were holding me back, and finally began to live a passionate, energized life. I let go of my limiting beliefs and achieved an ease I never thought possible. Now I feel so fortunate to be able to draw from my work and experiences to help others achieve lasting personal transformation.
My path to discovering balanced overall health started with a desire to lose my protective fat once and for all, and increase my energy for living…where does yours begin?
