DIS-EASE TO WELLNESS
Oracle 20/20; September
My journey began in 1992; I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. That is when my health began to fail. My health had been declining for years and it was so difficult to gain control. I was facing obesity, early stage diabetes, and high blood pressure. As if things couldn't’ get worse I suffered a stroke. Facing multiple complications my doctors gave up on me and they told me there was nothing more they could do unless I was willing to undergo exploratory surgery. After reviewing all of my health conditions, I knew if I wasn’t going to accept the present prognosis, I would have to search in a new direction for a solution. I recognized that my journey would be difficult. Anyone could see that this was not going to be a quick cure but giving up was not an option.
In 2003, I moved to
My health crisis could have derailed me personally and professionally, but instead I used it as a wake-up call to lead a more fulfilling and balanced life. Creating productive health strategies in my own life has helped me regain my health. It is these strategies that I want to share with others. By combining my two passions, coaching on the inside and toning on the outside, I hope to create a setting for people to live out their health dreams.
By educating myself for what I needed for me to heal from the inside out, I received my greatest gift…my mission in life. It evolved into my calling to become a wellness coach.
