A few years ago, I was a corporate lawyer – always in meetings, stressed out, running on empty. The stress was affecting my health. Sometimes I was so tired, I couldn’t think straight. Do you ever hit the snooze button again and again and again because you just can’t get out of bed? I often fell asleep on the train home and sometimes even missed my stop.
I was tired all the time but I couldn’t sleep, constantly worrying about all sorts of things. Headaches were becoming the norm. I was also getting sick more often. I was doing so many things but felt like it was never enough. Always running through the to do list in my head and adding more stuff to do.
I was losing energy and motivation. I just felt … defeated by life. I didn’t have energy for my job, I didn’t have energy for my family, I didn’t even have the energy to be me.
I felt like I was on a treadmill to nowhere. Do you know what I mean? I knew I had to make some changes. I desperately needed a break. I guess the pandemic had the same idea. The forced time out allowed me to regroup and take care of my own physical, mental and emotional health. I literally experimented on myself – going natural and using energy medicine exercises and a lot of emotional and mindset work. I also used the time to study integrative health and delve more into energy medicine.
My philosophy is that it has to be simple and easy to do in order for me to do it and stick to it. I don’t do bootcamps or count calories, and I don’t do a zillion different supplements and superfoods. For me, simple is best. Simple is sustainable.
I know a lot of people are under extraordinary stress which is causing serious health issues. The physical, emotional and mental toll of our stressful lives is enormous.
I also know that busy, stressed-out professionals need help that is quick, practical and easy to do. That’s how I like to coach too – quick, simple, practical steps to wellness. We certainly don’t need more overwhelm!
As an energy coach and a certified Integrative Health Practitioner, I use simple, quick energy techniques and natural health principles to gently guide stressed out professionals back to their natural state of health and wellness.
