What is your philosophy on healing or overcoming health challenges.
I believe it is all mindset based. People are only limited by their beliefs and their mindset. When they can start creating positive anchors and energy in the right direction, everything is possible. I have personally overcome a 12 year battle with eating disorders, body image issues and lost 100 pounds. The biggest key for me was learning how to love myself and being grateful for everything in life. I celebrated all struggles, successes, etc.
How have you used adversity in your life to fuel your commitment to balance and wellness?
I have used adversity as a fueling mechanism to always prove that I am grounded and capable of everything I set my mind too. Every situation in life is a learning lesson and I choose to use life to empower me to move forward and never be a victim.
How do you stay healthy, resilient and vibrant?
I eat lots of bacon, smile a ton, hug people all the time and always keep moving. The key to fitness as is the key to success in any area of life is operating from a place of love and not insecurity while going about their daily lives.
What tips do you recommend for your clients dealing with / healing from illness?
The first step is to always shift your mental attitude. Our results in life are directly correlated with how we view the world. When we can put empowering interpretations on life no matter the situation, our life becomes full of amazing results.
If there was only one thing a person could find the energy and resources to make a priority what would it be?
Self care
