Living an Embodied Life
"Your body is THE most important thing you own. Unfortunately, many of us aren’t taught as children how to be ‘embodied’. Or how to feel our emotions, understand our nervous system cues and how to listen to what our body needs."
I started my healing journey many years ago when I first started to address what I ate. Cutting out foods that were detrimental to my health helped me to examine my body and understand how it responded to what I put in it. I started to get the term 'you are what you eat' on a whole new level!
I had to stop ignoring my physical issues and ailments from years of not taking care of myself, and I started to learn there was an emotional root cause behind all my issues, and that the usual avenues of 'getting well' didn't address the root cause for me, because the issue would always return. This led me to work with natural and herbal medicines to treat my ailments, and where the real emotional work began. Along with understanding what foods my body REALLY wanted, and doing A LOT of emotional work and nervous system healing, I started to see real change.
My journey in understanding myself has cracked my world wide open in such profound ways. I found new ways of listening to my body on a deep level I did not know was possible. I remember my first experience with massage had me in floods of tears and years later, still sometimes crying during bodywork, I realised my physical sensitivities were a gift in being able to understand that I was letting go of trauma from my body. Before, I used to ignore the pain and opt for easy coping mechanisms such as alcohol, to disassociate from what my body was trying to communicate. Now I realise most of the pain I felt had something for me to learn.
Years' worth of unresolved trauma and unprocessed emotions lived in all facets of my mind, body and energy field and I was on a mission to let it all go. I became a qualified Bio-Energy Healing Practitioner in 2018 which was a journey that opened many doors and new dimensions of healing and learning for me. I continued my exploration, studying meditation, breathwork, EFT, counselling and exploring my body through movement and yoga, cold water immersion, and using food medicinally. Most importantly, I developed a relationship and trust in my body, which allowed me to listen to what it needs.
Being present with my emotions and feelings, and using the gifts from nature as tools to move through them, have been an integral part of the path that led me to where I am now. Without being present with my emotions, I would never have overcome the many addictions I had, changed my relationship with food and my body, or created a life of joy and freedom. I now guide and teach you to be able to do the same.
