Business Coach

In December of 1999 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic migraines and for six years, I existed in a very dark and lonely place. 

My outgoing, social personality became one of depression and despair. My days were spent in bed, in pain and with little or no contact with the outside world. I took a total of 22 pills a day and made 2-3 trips per week to the emergency room for shots of demerol to alleviate migraine pain. 

I gained 100 lbs. within a year and my overall health was deteriorating rapidly, I was in a  downward spiral. I was told by medical doctors that there was no cure and I would have to accept my chronic and debilitating diagnosis. At 45 yrs of age I was in mourning, I grieved everyday for the me I used to be, and my husband and sons grieved with me.

My family was traumatized and it was especially hard on my husband, he couldn't console me or heal me. I would only allow myself to cry when I was alone so as not to excerbate his feelings of helplessness. Chronic illness effects everyone you love and adds guilt to the already overburdened family unit. 

Throughout my illness my husband was always looking for something that might help my condition. He would search the internet, read articles, and talk with people about my illness trying to find an answer. I went to doctor after doctor and tried various alternative therapies with no results.One day he came across an advertisement about a local chiropractor who treated fibromyalgia successfully, he encouraged me to make an appointment. My first thought was that I could not take another disappointment but I went ahead and made the appointment mainly for his peace of mind.

He did not know that privately. I had become increasingly desperate with thoughts of suicide. I had not shared my intense emotional pain with anyone, it seemed too hopeless to even discuss. I had gone as far as to take my personal battle down on my knees with a hysterical verbal plea asking, "What do you want from me, I will do anything you want me to do"! (I made a conscious decision at that moment that I was going to take control of my own health, and I was going to find a way to get well!)

The thought crossed my mind that maybe this advertisement, this chiropractor may be an answer to that plea so I went to the appointment and it was the first time since my diagnosis that I felt hope again. Within 3 months of that appointment, I was 95% pain free and within 6 months I was completely pharmaceutical free, migraine free, and fibromyalgia pain free. 

Spiritually, I knew that I was being guided to a higher purpose for my life!

 

 

 

The Reason I Became A Helping Professional

My healing from fibromyalgia and chronic migraines was so profound that I had to know and understand how natural healing all worked. 

I knew there were others suffering as I had for so many years who needed to know that there is hope and healing for chronic illness. My personal experience and testimony was proof that yes, you can take control of your own health and you can heal. I felt the best way that I could serve those still living in that dark and lonely place of chronic illness was to learn as much as I could by securing credentials and then sharing my knowledge.

I went back to school at the age of 50yrs old, and graduated in 2007 as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. I was introduced to Zyto technology soon therafter and added Zyto technician certification to my credentials. I incorporated this technology into my wellness program as a support to my clients. 

I continued to educate myself on natural remedies and therapies to continually serve my clients. In my wellness program I found there were too many inconsistencies when it came to supplements. I found myself questioning their purity, effectiveness and value my clients were receiving. It was at this time I came across Young Living Therapeutic Essential Oils and found my question, once again was answered with a solution and I incorporated them into my program.

This company and these oils have become a passion for me. The business has allowed me to consult with clients at no charge as I receive a percentage of my clients purchase. I have been able to assist clients establish their own accounts and receive their products for free which is a win/win for mind, body, spirit and financial health. I love the fact that I have toured the farms, the distillaries, and the packaging warehouse and am confident that what I recommend to my clients is of the utmost quality, purity and best value for them.

It is a blessing everyday to walk the journey with clients who are ready to take control of their own health and create their own healthy lives! It has been my honor and privileged to successfully assist clients with fibromyalgia, migraines, insomnia, depression, frozen shoulder, diabetes, high blood pressure, ADD & ADHD,digestive problems, weight loss, PMS, menopause and so many more. 

I am humbled and grateful for those years I suffered in the darkenss with  my chronic illness as it has made the light of purpose, passion and prosperity shine ever so brightly!
