"I feel this course will take me to a completely new level..and I'm ready!!"

10 yrs ago I was slapped in the face by the Universe and was diagnosed with multiple ailments, the two biggest being glaucoma and Multiple Sclerosis. A year into the meds with a year of side effects the last one being Bell's palsy, one weekend I got a massage and watched The Secret while waiting my turn. I was about to be put on steroids again because no one knew what else to do since I was 30 days in with no improvement. I went to bed feeling the same but when I woke up the next morning, the pulling in my face was gone. 

My holistic journey to self healing had begun that day. I took a year off of everything. I stopped working and I started reading labels in the grocery stores, swimming laps, doing yoga, doing acupuncture. In fact, I tried to go to school for acupuncture but the school required 2 years of previous college. I was the one who started working straight out of HS. I never saw myself going to college. I always started from the bottom and climbed to the top. So, I continued my self studies. A year after dropping the medications and working on myself, I found myself sitting in a steam room for twice the time suggested. Anyone with MS, can't do that. The humidity brings out their 'side effects', as I called them. For myself, my vision was first affected by filling with black dots until I could no longer see. When we were riding back to our room, I realized I didn't have any issues with my vision! I didn't get nauseous! Nothing adverse happened! 

Do you realize what that meant?! Whatever I was doing, was working! This was fantastic because I had decided I was not turning out like my parents who had already passed from not taking care of their health. My mom passed when I was 20 and my dad, actually the day I got diagnosed with MS, just later that night. I wasn't going to turn out like them. Everything I was learning kept pointing to energy by this point. In fact, I was invited to a free energy class and of course I accepted! However, that class was for Ayurvedic bodywork. Not what I was thinking. I booked my appointment anyway. I was talking with the girl making my appointment about what I was looking for and she suggested their sister school that teaches Ayurveda. I couldn't pronounce it and I had no idea what it was but I knew I had to be there. They were going to teach me how to eat for me, to heal myself using foods! 4 years later, I'm finishing up my last internship while leaving my husband who became an abusive narcissistic alcoholic the last 5 years of our 20 year marriage. Well, I learned after I left about his narcissism. Never even knew what that word meant. Because he took the money, I found myself putting the practice I started, on hold so I could support my son and myself. I worked little events here and there for my practice which were always successful but I can't support us financially in a town who's concern is beer and cheese curds not their health. Since I left the ex two years ago, still divorcing, I've been working on healing. More recently, I've found myself drowning at work because that is not what I'm meant to do. I inspire people. For years people tell me I need to write a book. I actually did some inner work in the beginning with my coach because when I shared a story about myself, I was made to believe it was rude, selfish, inconsiderate, egotistical... I was surrounded by narcissists so if I shared a personal story, I was stealing their thunder, so to speak. My coach helped me realize I was sharing my story to inspire people based on the feelings and outcomes I intended for. I tested that theory at events and both myself and my son saw it with our own eyes it to be true. I always got the greatest reaction from people when I shared my stories. 

Since Covid happened, I really was grateful I was considered an essential worker but more recently, found myself drowning, as I mentioned before. I took another leap of faith and started cutting back on my hours to devote more time to my practice again. I have been working on healing my inner child wounds for some time now with a particular person. I more recently did a one on one with her to get some clarity of this journey of mine. What I want to do is teach. I don't necessarily want to work with clients one on one anymore because I haven't found any ideal clients for myself and find myself annoyed with them, lol. They say they want to be healed but aren't ever willing to make the changes to do it. ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️ So, I'll teach, plant seeds and inspire to make the change. 

This program comes at a perfect time. I'm going to be starting to make online videos. I am very interested in learning how to make my stories even more impactful so I can grow my loyal customer base. I never took speech class in HS bc I dropped out. Although, I'm a great story telling talking with groups of people, I feel this course will take me to a completely new level..and I'm ready!! Thank you for the opportunity!????
