My Story
 I'm the mother of two boys whom I've successfully helped heal of autism. The heart of my journey began the day I learned my sons had autism.
Realizing this information sent me down a path of holistic living I had yet to explore. New stones were unturned; everything from incorporating wholesome food, supplements, and herbs to trying multiple holistic therapies – my husband and I pursued it all! And we enjoyed huge success as the symptoms of my sons’ autism began to disappear.
But, guess what? While my sons were doing better, I was NOT. I was tired, drained, and cranky. My skin lacked vibrancy, my thoughts were scattered, and my moods – oh man, I would feel happy one minute and grouchy the next. My health started to feel “off.” I was not happy, to say the least.
What happened? Why wasn’t I ecstatic after making such great progress with my sons’ wellbeing?
What happened is, I blatantly ignored myself and my own needs. I put everything I had into healing my sons and forgot myself in the process.
Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time. I’d been short-changing many areas of my life for a long, long time.
I Vowed To Make A Change To Resurge My Wellbeing
I began to speak up for myself. I started saying “No thank-you” more often. I learned that taking care of myself was an expression of loving myself, not one of self-absorption. And, I learned I deserved to love myself as much as I love my family.
Then, I made my next discovery.
I noticed that all mothers with special-needs children have something in common. We all want to fit in. Every last one of us is concerned with what others think of us.
I came to realize we’re in this position for a reason. We were given children with “something different going on” so we could learn to ignore outside judgment and be true to ourselves.
After that, I had another huge realization. This trying to “fit in” problem wasn’t exclusive to those who had “different” children. No, this trying to be like everyone else was rampant among almost ALL women to one degree or another.
At that point, I uncovered a Truth in Life: Most women have been sabotaged into thinking they need to fit in with the rest of society. Along the way, they’ve relinquished being themselves in replacement of who they think they’re supposed to be.
This is not their fault. It’s what everyone else does, so how would they know to do anything differently?
Working from within, I discovered a newfound freedom to be ME
I felt moved to change this and began with myself first. I returned to school and became certified in Health and Wellness Coaching through The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, a school certified through Columbia University’s Teachers College.
That was my starting point. I began to polish and clear my life. I cleaned up my body and overcame my mood swings. My skin improved, and I had loads of energy and an amazing positive attitude without even trying. I began to feel vibrant again!
Along the way, something else wonderful happened – I learned how to Dance With Everybody Watching!
I’m not just talking figuratively, but literally! Yup. In the past, I’d wait to dance until I had a good amount of alcohol in my system to help me feel brave enough. Not anymore! Now, you’ll find me shakin’ my bootie out there on the dance floor or at a party, or even in my living room or my driveway. Yes I love to dance! Dancing represents my newfound freedom to be ME, even if others think I’m making a fool of myself. After all — who cares?
This “Freedom to be me” has led to improvements in ALL areas of my life- my health, my relationships, how I interact with family, the level of healing I’ve achieved with my sons, it’s all greatly improved!
 What led to my ability to Dance With Everybody Watching and the resulting greatness in my life?
I found specific steps to take that helped me overcome judgment and self doubt. I moved beyond fear and stopped trying so hard to fit in. I found ways to live comfortably and happily as my true, CONFIDENT, passionate self! I’ve accepted who I am and the greatness that I have to offer the world!
