I would like to share a part of my story very few people know. I was born in the aftermath of tragedy. In the year before I was born my mother was in a horrific life-altering car accident. The accident killed her sister-in-law and her 2 infant children. My mother was injured so badly she spent several months in traction for a fractured pelvis.
Before the 1-year anniversary of that accident she gave birth to me in the wake of that grief and suffering. That seemed to set the stage for what my life would become. I struggled with little things, like learning to speak. I had a terrible speech impediment that prevented me from starting school on time. I hit one roadblock after another. Everything was so much harder for me.
When I was in junior high, I was held after school every day for tutoring by nuns-- and you can only imagine how much fun that was, right? I felt I was different. All I really wanted was to fit in, to feel good about something.
Like the story goes; I had to walk a mile home from school. That was my punishment for not keeping up with the other kids.
When I got to high school, I knew I was different. Things were very hard to grasp, so I gave up on studying and turned my focus to sports, girls and beer. Barely graduating high school, I thought college might be a fresh start, only to flunk out after a year.
At this point I was really frustrated, I couldn't figure out what seemed to come easily to others, which was difficult for me. I desperately wanted to figure that out.
I changed my focus and married my high school sweetheart at 21. By 22 we had a baby daughter and the pressure to succeed grew tremendously. I wanted to provide my young family with all the things my wife and I had dreamed of.
So, I enrolled back into college, only to flunk out again!
It was around this time my brother-in-law mentioned a profession that I never thought of, although I knew instantly that I could make this my life's work!
That is how I became a Wellness Practitioner.
I now devout my life to helping people heal from the inside out and my wish for everyone is to feel happy, whole and healthy.
