- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began my healing journey through the discovery of yoga. I had an unhealthy relationship with food and my body for most of my life and through the practice of yoga I tapped into a desire to be whole, healed and find self love and started educating myself on diet, nutrition, and living a mindful conscious lifestyle. In childhood and early adulthood I struggled with severe stomach pain, IBS, nausea, nervousness, bloating, and more recently shoulder pain and tension. I was extremely shy and scared of pretty much everything. The stomach pain and nausea was often debilitating keeping me in bed and away from enjoying life. I went to doctors, was dosed with Dramamine and Pepto Bismol, and without fail spent the first few days of school in the bathroom vomiting. It would subside for a while, but as soon as a new stressor (school, parental conflict, death of my mother, new step family) was introduced the stabbing pains would begin again. In high school I added a few additional not-so-fun symptoms: cystic acne and excessive sweating. College came and things continued to worsen and symptoms would flair up when my roommate would belittle me or I had a big test coming up. It wasn't until I started to study nutrition (cutting out dairy, gluten, vegetable oils and processed foods), practice yoga, and learned to discover and stand in my truth that these symptoms began to subside. For the first time I was able to express myself without fear (pain, vomit, sweat, or acne). I late deepened this work by becoming certified as a teacher and health coach so I could share this knowledge with others.
