Who am I? I am…

People have been asking me, what got me interested in my healthy conscious lifestyle here is the short version…
I have had my ureter tube reconnected to my kidney when I was 5, chronic kidney and urinary tract infections all throughout my teenage years and early twenties, until I started taking my own health into my own hands and studying natural ways to stay healthy and heal infections. My urologists never once brought up the subject of my diet with me?! I stopped having chronic infections as soon as I quit drinking soda especially caffeinated soda. This intrigued me. I have had severe allergies to food, severe sinus and skin allergies, chronic fatigue, depression, ADD… I once had my head blow up like a balloon from bug spray (not fun, although funny to look at for family that was with me :0). In my early twenties is when the search for true health began. I started using more natural soaps and cleaners, started becoming aware of MSG, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine and just continued to open my mind to the possibility of foods on my grocer’s shelves not necessarily being healthy for me. The beginning of August 2007 I was awakened to the possibility that I seemed to be developing breast cancer, with deep purple veins and nipples turning purple as well, along with many fibrositic lumps, as well as steady pain especially in my left breast. This is when I dedicated my self to change and to continue to seek true health the way God, Nature (what ever you want to call it) intended it to be. “Your body is your temple, with out it you have nothing at all” (not in this world anyway :0). So when this was brought to my attention in 2007, I started with several colonhydrotherapy sessions, this is when I realized I have always had chronic constipation and digestive problems. I never knew how much and to what consistency elimination was supposed to be. I even trained as a colonhydrotherapist for a while. I was blessed with the opportunity to work with many clients that had the same digestive problems; such as large parasites (yes you read that right!), loads of candida yeast, hard compacted mucusy stool, undigested food, some even had very large pockets of trapped gas that is very toxic to the body. Colonhydrotherapy was a huge awakening tool for me, but I found it to be very expensive for myself and the clients I worked with, personally I would rather be spending my money on healthy wholesome foods that taste good and keep things moving. If your colon and intestines are clogged and congested than nothing will work efficiently, every functioning system in the body is connected in some way to the digestive system. When I pursued the colonhydrotherapy sessions for myself I also quit my food addictions “cold turkey”(out of complete fear of cancer). I started with the Body Ecology Diet, but found it way to restrictive I ended up barely eating anything at all, but I did shed a lot of toxins from my body, I lost thirty pounds. Friends and family thought I was becoming anorexic. Nope just shedding the “junk in my trunk” if you know what I mean :0). I transition from the Body Ecology Diet into fresh organic produce (I noticed inflammation in my body when I didn’t eat organic which made my belly bloat out) lightly blanched. At this point I could not even eat raw produce which would cause painful digestion as well. I also was sprouting seeds, nuts and whole grains eating and making what ever I could with them that would nourish my body. I was also eating Food For Life sprouted breads and tortillas, but realized that I was even bloating and feeling heavy when I ate these as well. So I just kept eating what I could without causing pain and evolved into a completely raw vegan live food diet in less than one year. Was eating nothing but raw living foods for about a two years, but have now brought some minimally cooked foods back into the mix. (Note: I do feel the clearest and Best overall when eating all Live Foods. No cooked or processed foods.) My diet consists of organic fruits, vegetables, sprouts, preferably soaked nuts and seeds, sprouted whole grain, and expeller pressed unrefined oils (coconut, pumpkin, olive oil, golden flax). I have found that the live enzymes in these foods makes it quite easy for me to digest, utilize, and eliminate these foods. There really are so many possibilities it shocks me that anyone would eat S.A.D (standard american diet). Organic non-GMO raw live foods are load with nutrients, enzymes and life ready and waiting to invigorate you. I personally find any animal products ingested to be very heavy and dense too dense for my liking. FYI.. I met a vegan in the spring of 2007 and said there was no way I could live without out meat, well… now I feel I can’t live with it. Very peculiar how life can turn out to be :0). I decided to offer my services as a vibrant living coach because I love tasty healthy food and a beautiful healthy planet! I also know there are a lot of misguided S.A.D people out there just like I was that need all the help they can get to reclaim their lives back to find themselves outside of the “big fat box” they are “unconscious” in. I felt I was unconscious for 31 years of my life until I found raw live foods. I now feel alive for the first time in my life! There seems to be more clarity, creativity, energy, flexibility physically and emotionally, love and consideration for others, and a deeper more profound connection to hearing the voice of Spirit calling from within the background of my ego.
May You find Peace and Health.
