HOW I'M HELPING TO CREATE A NEW WORLD...
Who would have ever thought that “headaches” could turn into a lifelong passion?
My introduction to natural healing came when I was barely 19 years old. I was having frequent headaches, bad headaches, fatigue, bloated, etc., so at the urging of a friend, I went to a medical doctor, ugh.
He took a quick blood test and told me I had “hypoglycemia” and the way to "cure" it was to "Eat Candy". Yes....this "medical doctor" actually told me to carry candy around with me and if I felt tired or weak, eat a piece of candy !!!!
Oh My Gosh !!!!! Even at 19 years old I knew something wasn’t right with a doctor telling me to eat sugar for a treatment for something that sounded so important with a big name like “hypoglycemia”.
Needless to say, I did not run out and buy a bag of candy.
Somehow, I seem to get lucky a lot. About two weeks later, I saw a little ad in the newspaper for a “Hypoglycemia Center”. I got very excited at seeing that there was an entire “center” for this thing I was prescribed sugar for.
So, I went down to the center and I find a woman whose office was a generous corner of a chiropractor’s waiting room with her shelves on the wall behind her desk filled with wholistic health books and organic supplement bottles. She was my first Wholistic Nutritionist and taught me about the foods that were making me ill and that refined sugar was the main culprit.
Right away, I started my new healthy lifestyle and stopped eating refined sugar and all the foods in which it is hidden. I began healing myself with the supplements I bought from her, detoxifying, and rejuvenating myself with nutritious foods.
The headaches stopped, my energy returned, and all the other uncomfortable symptoms that I had, went away. I was thrilled at what felt like a miracle to me!
I was so amazed that something with this big name “hypoglycemia” could be healed, and not just have the symptoms covered up with more poison, but actually healed with simple foods and cleansing, that I started reading every book I could find about natural healing and never stopped.
The more I met people who were disappointed by their medical treatments and then saw them being healed naturally, the more passionate I became about learning everything I could and helping others know the joys of feeling truly alive.
I found my passion!!!
Something that used to baffle me was the suppression of natural healing information when it works so beautifully without harming anyone. Why are we forced to have a disclaimer saying "it is not a substitute for medical care" when nature should be our first line of treatment?
Don’t get me wrong here, modern medicine has made some miraculous advancements in saving lives. Thank goodness they can sew our nerves and blood vessels back together after terrible tragedies and things like that. When it comes to man-made diseases, which are most of them, we need to have the freedom to choose natural healing if that is what we want.
In the mid-1990s, I had the great fortune to meet a wonderful and truly wholistic practitioner who was a great teacher and mentor. She really “upped my game” to a whole other level of nature. She gave me the missing-link key to discerning what is truly healing and what merely looks like it's healing, but is in fact, harmful.
She encouraged me to follow my passion and open my own natural healing consulting business. Out of that friendship, “Healing You Naturally” was born. No longer was I just helping friends, friends of friends, and family; I was able to bring wellness to many others through seminars and coaching.
Also, I learned all about the phrase “Medical Police State” and the history of the immensely wealthy family empires that are really in control behind the scenes and that there are people called “Health Freedom Fighters”.
I have great respect for Victor Earl Irons who was one of the early Health Freedom fighters, and that in the 1960s, he chose to go to jail rather than tell the lies he was being pressured to tell about his own natural healing experiences.
Learning about Victor, others like him, and the history of health care in the USA and around the world gave me an even greater passion to bring wholistic healing to as many people as I can reach.
Another lucky thing that happened to me in the mid-1990s is that I was introduced to Core Energetics (CE) by a massage therapist. He recognized that I was holding a lot of emotions in my body (who even knew that was possible ??) and told me about an upcoming CE workshop.
I knew I needed help in that area so I went to the first of many weekend-long workshops. Up until then, I never cried so hard in my whole life. I had no idea that we could hold a lifetime of emotions in different places in our bodies.
I had a great transformation after that weekend and with the help of my wholistic nutritional tools, was able to let go of a nicotine addiction that I had been trying to get rid of for a long time, along with letting go of a short-term wine addiction. I discovered that addictions merely mask pain. When we numb our pain, we also numb our pleasure.
I learned to have great compassion for people with addictions. So many people expect them to just quit with no help for the pain they are numbing in order to survive each day. They all deserve real wholistic support to completely heal and experience being fully alive.
After many years went by, I found a new evolution of the CE work called Radical Aliveness and attended many workshops, some of them were at Esalen, and eventually attended two-years of the professional certification program for practitioners.
I was fascinated by how amazing our beings are in the way we deal with our energy and emotions in order to survive and continued to study more ways to heal this aspect of ourselves.
One of my goals is to bring this understanding to the world so people will no longer judge themselves or others based on the size and shape of our body or the way we express or don't express emotions.
Life has ups and downs and different stressors throughout. I am first in line to admit to not being perfect. There were times of great stress like when I was a caregiver for two years to my just-like-a-husband who was bedridden due to iatrogenic causes. There was no time or energy left over to take good care of myself, plus the ill effects that the stress and grieving took on me, I became depressed with no energy and a general feeling of exhaustion. I felt like a puddle on the floor.
But I wasn’t worried because I knew what to do with all of my wholistic wellness tools to bounce back into my healthy joyful self. It has taken time to do it, but it’s working and I am feeling great again and ready to share a lifetime of rich experiences and deep study with all of you.
This is all one big reason why I love teaching people new ways to care for yourselves, your families, and your homes so everyone of you can have a lifetime of confidence and know how to be fully Living in your Aliveness.
