In the past, I had followed every diet out there. I developed a toxic relationship with food and my body, I was deteriorating inside and out. I used to believe I had to torture myself to be happy with the way I “looked.” I was working out seven days a week, eating less, getting rid of all the carbs, getting heavily influenced by the diet culture on the internet. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I was constantly pointing out flaws, I was never satisfied with my body. My philosophy then was, if I torture myself with strict exercise routine, food restrictions and avoid all the fun, I would be happy; when in fact I was the unhealthiest and unhappiest I had ever been.
I was struggling with disordered eating, hormone health, acne, confidence, my self-worth and so much more that I used to lock myself in the room, miss classes and just be a sad sad girl. It takes a lot of courage and strength to recognize when something isn't working in our lives and to take action to change it. My healing journey was painful and awakening. It took a lot of strength and love, it was tough in the beginning but I did it. Although we are constantly growing and evolving in life, coming to a place of self-love and self-awareness was a significant transformation in my life. The more I started to live my life without any control, my relationship with myself started to blossom into a beautiful flower. I was nourishing my body with food without any restrictions, I was moving my body with activities I enjoyed and not feeling guilty if I hadn't exercised that day. I was very committed to feeling good rather than looking good. My journey has taught me the power we human beings have within ourselves to transform our lives positively. I felt unstoppable when I developed a strong relationship with myself when I was committed to my practices and daily habits. We have the power to take care of our health. Health is holistic, it’s not just the food on our plate and the exercise we do but also mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
I want to support you in your journey, wherever you are. I will guide you to live the life YOU want, with a happy mind, body and soul and with love, light and positivity!
You are loved!
