VULNERABLE POST: (Sorry super long, please read my story)
Even though I have had many accomplishments including being a Mom and Grandma, co-owning and running several businesses, becoming a Chopra certified Ayurvedic Lifestyle Teacher as well as a certified Health & Life Coach, my journey to this path has been manifest destiny.
I know what it’s like to struggle with managing the symptoms of a thyroid diagnosis, Graves Disease- weight loss, hair loss, extreme fatigue, heart palpitations, high heart rate, afib, hand tremors-and then dealing with the medicine side effects the worst of which for me was a 20 lb weight gain and then having to struggle with the impossible task of losing weight, Ugh.
Because not that long ago, that nightmarish struggle consumed my life. I know what it’s like to wake up and feel as if your heart was just going to stop, that’s if I actually had fallen asleep because the insomnia was so horrible.
And to lay down at night thinking about work or a meeting I may have had the next day and wondering if I had any clothes that fit or feel sad that I had to cancel my exercise class because my heart rate was too high to do anything strenuous. It got so bad that I just wanted to crawl into a hole and not face life. So, I know how painful it can be.
And, I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it. To have the worst thyroid symptoms fade and to have a life where I wake up and check my smart watch and have it say NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM (I literally cried so hard when my afib went away) and see that my resting heart rate is back in the 60’s, and I go to bed at night thinking I can’t wait to go to my yoga class wearing my new clothes (yes corny but after a year in sweats-thank you Covid and Graves, I was so happy to fit into real clothes). The best part is that I can see how amazing my life really is, and I have the energy, gratitude, and motivation to make each day a healthful day so I can stay this way as I gracefully age. (Actually my goal is to make it to the bathroom by myself when I’m 90!)
And, I want this kind of life for everyone! That’s why I do the work that I do. And, even though there’s a part of me that thinks I’m sharing too much about my life’s work, my deeper truth is that I care way too much about helping people become the healthiest and happiest version of themselves possible to let that fear stop me. Because I know how painful it can be when you struggle with a health issue or a medical diagnosis.
And, I have dedicated myself to helping heart centered, curious women understand the beautiful wisdom tradition of AYURVEDA and how it can help you get out from under that cloud of hopelessness to reduce stress and anxiety, have better and satisfying sleep, look great in your clothes again, and have clarity of mind and energy to accomplish everything that you want in this world.
