My Journey, the silver lining
I want to share with how my affiliation with an exceptional health
and wellness company has provided me with balance, health and ease.
Great nutrition and a balanced lifestyle have always
been my passion. I prided myself on
providing my family with organic, natural food. I have had a meditation practice for many, many years. That is why I was so perplexed when I began
to develop debilitating physical symptoms such as migraine headaches,
allergies, and chronic pain. Visiting
numerous healthcare providers provided no answers, and no relief.
At a friend’s recommendation, I began supporting my
diet with a pharmaceutical grade nutritional supplement. My response to the supplements was
astounding! Within weeks the majority of
my symptoms had disappeared, it was wonderful!
Having considered myself a guru in the natural food
arena, I realized there was more to optimal nutrition than a stellar diet. Our bodies need the optimal cellular
nutrition that is provided by a Gold Standard nutritional supplement.
My journey continued as I studied Holistic Nutrition
at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, where I graduated with distinctive
merit, as valedictorian.
I created a busy holistic clinical practice where I
provided solutions to people looking for relief. I worked very hard and provided many people
with solutions to their health and wellness concerns.
Ten years into my practice, I realized it was time to
practice what I preached. I desperately
needed balance, ease and relief from the stresses of running a busy
practice. I had a rude awakening, I had
hit the wall!
It was time to regroup, take time off and reestablish
balance and peace in my life. I took a
year to get some distance and make some life altering decisions.
I nourished my body, mind and spirit with peace and compassion. I looked deeply at my life's purpose. New choices were made. No more busy schedules, or running
around. Time is a luxury, all we have is
this present moment. This is my time, my life. It was time to live my life on
purpose. I allowed myself the grace and time that was needed to slow down, redevelop
a strong mindfulness meditation practice, and an appreciation for the value and
ease provided by moment to moment awareness.
Taking this deep appreciation to the professional realm, I developed Mindful Health. Mindful Health is an eight week program which offers nutrition for the body, mind and spirit. My ten years of study and clinical practice have been married to the deep energy of mindfulness. This program provides profound nourishment which helps people move to a higher level energetically. It supports the creation of a blueprint for a healthy meaningful life.
I am so grateful that I have been able to take the time to
rebuild my body, my spirit and my life. My
association with the phenomenal company that provides me with optimal cellular
nutrition, also provides me with a strong residual income. This allows me the
freedom to design my life, and live each day to the fullest.
It is such a joy and a privilege to wake up each
morning and create my day. I get such
satisfaction providing solutions to people who are looking for balance, true
health and wellness with my Mindful Health Programs, and I get such joy from practicing
what I preach!
