I made it my mission to find answers. My life became one long exploration… first of Western medicine and then the holistic health world (which wasn’t so mainstream quite yet).
And though symptoms improved, and I learned and embodied an immense amount of valuable info through my search… getting through each day was an ongoing challenge.
Still, I’d managed to turn my passion for body-mind wellness into a successful business, and was creating incredible results for hundreds of clients, blending Myofascial Release, energy work, and my intuitive skills that allowed me to sense where blocks lived in someone’s system.
I was watching clients heal from chronic pain conditions, recover from burnout, and experience major breakthroughs in their work and lives through releasing trauma stored in the body.
In 2016 I made a decision to go off the antidepressant meds that had kept me functioning…. and that’s when my physical and mental health crashed in the scariest possible ways.
I found myself stuck in bizarre withdrawal symptoms from going off the meds, along with a mad resurgence of the chronic issues I’d carefully managed for so long – and a nervous system in extreme dysregulation that nothing seemed to touch.
