My Story
A healers perspective is my passion project. Something I have wanted to do my entire life and didn’t realize it. It took a random (or not so random) ‘human angel’ to walk up to me in the mall for my life to take a drastic turn. Here’s my story of how this all came about…
I think there are certain people that are born as natural healers. One’s that look at the world differently and see the body and our healing journey from different perspectives. I can remember being 6 years old, standing on my front lawn and asking ‘really…is this all there is?’
I have always looked and searched for the deeper meaning behind things. I started a practice in holistic health over 10 years ago and instantly fell in love with exploring the communications of the body. I also investigated how our mind is involved with the process and what the ‘bigger purpose’ is behind these healings or unwanted symptoms. My practice ‘Transcending Nutrition’ came about through my mission to go above and beyond, uncover what will help us grow and evolve, and see the bigger picture.
As a healer, it has been an incredible journey and process of uncovering and evolving the health of others. Most healers start the process with dealing and overcoming their personal health journey. I was not left out when it came to that. I suffered from IBS, depression, hormonal imbalances, excess weight and so on. My journey started with changing my nutritional habits and uncovering the bodies nutritional needs. That evolved into realizing that the mind activates the body to do things and can be a primary focus for long term results. Once I nurtured that level, I couldn’t help but question ‘what is this all for?!’ That is when I went deeper in evolving my spiritual understandings and beliefs.
The catalyst for ‘a healers perspective’ started with a trip to Bali. I took a break from my practice and with 6 weeks to myself explored another part of the world and uncovered more of who I was and wanted to be. When I came back as a new person, my old life I left behind didn’t fit me anymore. Depression set in and the evolution of my next phase in life took shape.
I realize that if you try to fix a problem, that leads to suppression and perpetuates more suffering as a result. I believe that in order to evolve in a healthy manner, it is important to observe why it is there, value it or ‘friend it’ and with that, the situation has permission to leave. I looked at the life I had created, wanted to change it and knew I needed support to do that so I wouldn’t run away and create more suffering for something I tried to fix.
I hired a spiritual counsellor that helped me delve into my ‘purpose in life, my gifts and talents’. She had me do prayer work for 21 days to initiate positive change. I decided to add a prayer to the ones she had requested I say each day. I had been thinking about leaving my practice (that I love) and home base for a bigger picture of healing. At the same time I didn’t want it to be about running away from my current life. I decided to add prayer of purpose behind this. The prayer that I created said- ‘if it is in my highest and best interest and the highest and best interest of all people involved, give me a message and one I can not make mean anything else’.
Basically, I wanted permission to leave my life as I knew it.
Along came my ‘earth angel’. I was shopping for my latest travel adventure and was in the mall in my home town. A lady came up to me in a shoe store and said ‘heh’. I looked at her and said ‘heh’ back. She then asked me if I believed in God and if I prayed. At this point I wondered if she perhaps was ‘crazy’ or a little out of sorts! I checked in with my gut and it said to keep going, so… that’s what I did. I answered her with a ‘yes’.
She looked at me and said- ‘yah me too’. ‘I walked in here, looked at you and realize I have a message for you. Do you want to hear it?’ I said ‘sure’. She looked at me and said ‘you have been asking for permission to do something ….the answer is YES’.
Wow…Ummm…did God just talk to me? Did he answer my prayer? The message couldn’t have been more clear. She then went on to say that she saw me doing a lot of traveling and that I was a sponge for knowledge. She then said that I am completely supported in this process and that all I have to do is say yes and all of this will just fall into place. She then looked at me and said ‘do you say yes?’ After a stutter and a nod, she said ‘say the word yes’- and I obliged. After that she hugged me, kissed me on the cheek and said ‘I love you’. She then walked out of the store and left me in a state of disbelief.
The next night I went out with a friend of mine that was in from out of town. I told him the story and he looked at me and said ‘so in your heart of hearts, what is it? What do you want to do?’ Instantly it became clear. I told him I wanted to travel around the world and find natural healers that have learned through the wisdom of their ancestors. I want to interview them and uncover what they believe ‘healing is’. He said he would support me on this journey and assist me along the way. I agreed to take him up on the offer and we shook on it.
Today, I welcome my healing journey and embark on a road less travelled. I invite you to join me in uncovering the wisdom behind healing! Do you say yes?
