My Story

Listen, I've been there.

I know what it's like to feel like something just isn't right but you can't quite put your finger on it...

And you don't know what to do to help yourself.

In 2017 I started to develop pretty bad acne. It was painful and itchy and it made me want to hide myself away.

Of course, everyone told me it "wasn't that bad" or that they "didn't even notice it." (At least until I had massive acne flare-ups.)

And I really tried to embrace it and love myself in spite of my imperfections. But there was this deeper sense of "wrongness" that wouldn't go away, no matter how much self-love I practiced.

My Intuition was telling me that I had acne because, on a deeper level, something wasn't right. I felt very strongly that if I truly wanted my acne to clear up, I was going to have to make changes from within. 

During this time, I simply didn't know what I didn't know.

Looking back, I can see clearly that my skin issues were a direct result of an incredibly unwell gut microbiome.

My outer state was a reflection of my inner state. For so long, I didn't know what I was doing wrong.

Eventually, I learned that I simply didn't know how to live in sync with the seasons and cycles of the natural rhythms of my own body.

This is my face when I don't live according to my deeper needs.

This is my face when I do.

Amidst the stress and shame of my skin issues, I began practicing yoga with more intention and I also enrolled in an online Ayurveda & Yoga Foundations program with the Saraswati Institute of Ayurveda and Yoga Therapy. 

After taking a long, compassionate look at my habits and patterns and totally reassessing my values, after dedicating myself to more consistent movement practices and overhauling my diet, after prioritizing sleep and down-time and periods of time that consist simply of being instead of being productive...

Finally, I started to notice my skin clearing up.

Not only that, but I realized that I was the happiest and most comfortable in my body that I had ever been.

My overall mood had improved, my sleep and my digestion improved, and I began to feel a newfound sense of hope and clairty and trust in myself and the Universe.

When we are, in some way, disconnected from our bodies, something just doesn't feel right.

We might not always see our problems so directly as in the case of my acne due to a wrecked gut microbiome and the tendency to push to the point of burnout...

BUT...

It can feel just as uncomfortable and wrong and off on the inside.

Maybe for you, it's a physical issue. Perhaps your experience feels more like blocked or stagnant energy. There are truly endless ways in which our internal problems can manifest externally.

In any case, the story always goes something like this:

You've been seeing your chiropractor, massage therapist, accupuncturist, energy healer, anyone and everyone to try to get to the root of that thing that keeps you from feeling like you.

Maybe you even go to the doctor's office, hoping they'll be able to give you the answers as to why you've been experiencing xyz and at best, they simply shrug their shoulders and you're left feeling unseen, unheard, frustrated, and hopeless.

I've been in existential crisis mode about health.

I'm asking you to hit PAUSE on the panic mode.

What if the key to your wellbeing lies in the ability to turn over every rock and follow every thread with a trusted professional?

Let's find out what inner story is playing out for you externally.

I can't wait to see what we discover together.
