Who you are becoming begins with who you are now...
​

There are so many of us... holistic practitioners, therapists, healers, and coaches... who base our business on who we are.  We have various trainings, but the unique part of what we bring to our clients is OURSELVES.

It's not about formulas, it's not about what we do... it's about who we are.

And that, for me, has been the scariest thing ever.

I am a university educated biologist... I have a Master's Degree and I worked on a PhD project (that I didn't finish... but that's another story).  What I'm saying is that I have a well-developed logical brain and I once believed only in scientific proof.

And then I got really sick.  Really it was a whole body breakdown, the core of it was a debilitating sensitivity to dairy.  At the same time, I also had post-partum depression and was waist deep in parenting a toddler and an infant.  I was overwhelmed with preparing food for my family because of dietary restrictions, as I wasn't the only one in my family who was suffering from food allergies. ​

 I was totally exhausted.

A friend of a friend was an energy healer (insert now-totally-ironic-eye-roll from the PhD student)... and she asked me why I thought people got food allergies.  I thought about it... and had never considered a REASON for it... didn't it just happen?  That's what doctors said.  And then they told you, all nonchalantly because it was no skin off their back, that you should just avoid that food.

I really thought about poking forks in my eyes many days from the frustration and immense amount of energy it took to manage the pain when I was exposed to dairy, the vigilance it took to limit exposure, and the culinary gymnastics I executed to feed a family in which each individual had different needs!

Long story short... It took me 6 months to be willing to try working with this "energy healer" because I didn't really believe in it. (Spoiler: she turned out to be so much more... and she changed my life forever.)  In less than three months I could eat dairy again and now, 11 years on, I can still eat dairy.  

I knew she knew something I needed to know.
​
I ended up doing the training program she had been through... and now I am teaching there because it's so powerful. The magic things I learned in that program were about how important it is to have a committed relationship to my body, and that I was allowed to change the energetic agreements I've made in the past, most especially the ones anchored in the form and function of my body.

I finally understood that rewriting my old stories of who I was meant that my body was supported to live a healthier, more vibrant, more whole life!

I was liberated to truly investigate myself as I am, as opposed to who others thought I should be.  It meant I got to drop the story that I was a terrible mother because I'd placed a baby for adoption when I was 18.  And then, I was free to create a new story with my toddler and infant.  The healing began with digestion and became so much more.  Clearing the tensions I had around being a mother were central to being able to digest my food easily and to create a nourishing life for my kids.  So, not only did I heal my digestion, I jump started a huge healing process that brought me back to my own essence... my Self. 

As a scientist-turned-healer, though, I was unsure how to talk about my work.  It was scary to do that because it was so clear that my work is made of Who I Am... but I had always identified as a scientist.  The conflict between my "inner academic" and my "inner healer" kept me from being able clearly articulate my work and it kept me from feeling confident in putting the word out.  

You can imagine how hard that made marketing!

For people who help others on the healing path for a living... I see that success comes from a willingness to be honest, authentic, and sincere.  It is supported by a strong voice, taking a stand for what is important, and being clear in messaging. ​

For holistic practitioners a clear vision and purpose comes from knowing who we are as leaders.  

• If you're struggling to find your sense of purpose, your vision of what you are bringing to this world...

​​

• And you're dedicated to growing your message out of service to humanity because it's THAT important...​

• But you continue to wrap yourself in pretzels trying to do your homework for your business coach...

Might I suggest that you take some time to connect back to yourself.  Your body is your ally.  

Your body has an innate wisdom that can guide you through making decisions about your business that is right for you. 

But if you aren't sure how to relate to your body... and translate that subtle language into guidance and action... (and let's be honest... who's parents taught them that???  Mine sure didn't...) then you're missing one of your greatest allies on your pioneering journey with your business. 

Getting to know your body is a relationship like any other.  It takes dedication, listening skills, and curiosity.  It takes being willing to sit in the difficult places long enough to find out what is going on, and making adjustments as necessary to keep (or restore) the harmony.

The first task is to get to know your heart... as that's the center of who you are, and I believe that when we are familiar with our heart space we are closest to our Self, that essence core, the soul or spirit self.

Are you in?  Do you want to begin the Hero(ine)'s Journey of The Reclamation of YOU?
