Whole Body Health:
Wild at Heart, Well with Your Soul
Twenty years of healthy eating and an active lifestyle as a homeschool mom of rambunctious kids after growing up as a dancer didn't stop chronic conditions from spiraling out of control in my mid-40s. My diagnoses include lipedema, lymphedema, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, migraine, and Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos. I understand what it's like to feel that your body is rebelling against your best efforts and be desperate to find answers and help. I know what it is like to spend almost every day in bed feeling overwhelmed and hopeless,, living with the constant fear that one of my conditions will cause symptoms to suddenly worsen and disrupt life. I also know what it's like to be spiritually renewed, regain mobility, lose over 50 inches and 95% of the pain, have symptoms fade, and embrace life again.
​
When I was at my lowest, I didn't see a way out. I already ate "healthy", but it wasn't enough. I began to address my pain through various fascia techniques and lymph therapies, but everything was a bandaid, not a solution. Doctors had long-since made me weary. I couldn't find one that wanted to take time to truly help me, and one day I realized I had to help myself. Over time, much improved, but much did not. I lived not knowing what each day would bring, just hoping I was going to be able to balance this fragile thing called health. Nutritionists and natural health practioners tried, but they had exhausted the herbs and supplements and "diets" they could suggest. I was diligent but still exhausted and in pain.
One day, I clicked on a video about something called Block Therapy. And this different, simple approach and the explanations for what was going on with me started making sense. More importantly, I began to see foundational changes. In hindsight, it's clear that as important as the nutrition and wellness components are, I also needed physical restructuring. I still have health challenges ahead, but after years of tiptoeing through a very small life, I am able to take on life challenges and daily tasks without the pain I once had.
​
As a Biblical Health Coach, Block Therapy Instructor, and Fascia Alignment Coach, I'm blessed and excited to be able to help others navigate their own health journeys in ways that make sense for them with this unique, gentle approach that supports mind, body, and soul.
