A Self-Healing Journey

Healing a diving gas embolism

​

         I CAN DO ANYTHING! These are the words that empowered me to heal from a deep-water death and gave me the power of a new life. I used this and several other phrases to help rebuild myself from the inside out after a traumatic scuba diving accident. A gas embolism in my brain manifested stroke like symptoms. Doctors gave me fatalistic outcomes and little hope of recovery. I was on my own with very little function. I had the monumental task of retraining myself to walk, talk, read, write and take care of life’s basic needs. Alone and depressed, I wished for death and was spiteful that it hadn’t happened in the ocean. I thought my life and independence was over.

      Then one day I woke up and said “NO” to the medical prognosis and said “YES” to taking responsibility for my life and my health. I decided that how my recovery is up to me! I became determined to prove that others limiting ideas and beliefs had no power over me!

     This marked the beginning of a journey towards self-healing. I did die that day in the ocean, a death of everything old that no longer served me so that I could be reborn into a much clearer reflection of the soul within me. I see now that this life altering injury was the greatest gift and blessing I’ve ever received.

Along this journey I found The School of Natural Medicine, which facilitated the rollercoaster of transformation that has delivered me here.

     I now continue to strengthen my weaknesses with informed decisions and diet, lifestyle and energy changes that allow me to continue an ongoing healing path.  During my self-healing journey with the support of many amazing people, I was able to heal old wounds that were negatively affecting my life. I now live a colorful, rich and fulfilled life I never thought possible, even before this accident!

     I realized in this journey how abundantly gifted and blessed I truly am and this is true of every single person out there. . I am now offering the opportunity to share what I’ve learned and to teach others how to transform their lives. I share this story, this journey, these lessons and gifts to assist others to see the truth within themselves. So that they too can discover the beauty and power within themselves that can heal and transform.
