Hi dear ones!
My journey into healthcare, and food, has taken untold twists and turns. I kid you not. I started off editing mind, body and soul books as a copy editor for a very well-known publishing house and it was there the fires where well and truly lit.
As my career scope has widened from copy editor to encompass nutritional therapy student, i'm coming across some bio-hacking concepts new to me, not to mention ideas from great visionaries in the complementary medicine field.
But most of all I've learnt that there is no one-size-fits-all in the wellness stakes. We are all unique specks of stardust, often bogged down with life's challenges, and I refuse to lose.
Helping clients to regain equilibrium in a somewhat troubled world is where my life's purpose now rests. Indeed, this may manifest in symptoms of IBS, Chrohn's disease, PCOS, diabetes and weight gain. The training at CNM is thorough and thought provoking.
A little on lifestyle choices
Dis-ease may come not only because some well-known burger joints are having a field day, opening outlets at every corner, nor because we are enticed by marketeers thrusting salt and sugar-laden food at our heels. It may come through some emotional trauma buried deep.
At some point one must question what emotions and stresses have led to us finding comfort in food, or handbags. My journey has led me to realise that each of us must give ourselves that much needed big warm hug. To love and nourish ourselves first and foremost. No food, no love affair, no wealth, no shoes can accomplish that for us, - self-love is the paradigm shift here!
In this journey to find alignment with who we really are, away from the confines of ones tribe or belief system, here and only here can we flower and flourish.
So dear ones, individuate, individualise, be an individual because only then can you own your true power.
Play like children when you need to, kick leaves in the autumn, roll snowballs in the winter, watch lambs frolicking in the spring, and pick strawberries in the summer. Food need not be the only comforter.
Look at nature and heed how gently it permeates our very being and our own unique rhythm.
I've embarked on a mission to find my own necessary comfort blanket without necessarily buying out a department store to do it.
