Whiteness is bad for your health.
The road to enlightenment cannot be traversed without confronting the atrocities that have and are still happening to all of us. How is this connected this with wellness?
We are all searching for better. Better child care. Better hormone replacement. Better meditation practices. Better vacation spots. Better organic everything. WE want to be BETTER. So we sweat. We eat clean. We listen to podcasts. We spend money on books. We sweat some more. We take wheatgrass shots. We drink sustainably harvested tea. We refuse to use anything with palm oil. We vote. We judge. We condemn.
We know that we are powerful. We know that we have something we don’t understand that makes us able to do more than we are. We just don’t know how to access it. We understand that there is more to life than the material. We haven’t always known this. For a long time we have been very focused on consumption. We have been focused on appearances and status. Keeping up appearances and having the proper status in the best circles.
Even doing all of the right things we still haven’t felt whole. So we turn to meditation. Looking inward. Not a bad way to go. But still we hit a plateau. We learned how to breathe. We learned how to send love and light to the places that are dark. We visited ashrams. Went to retreats. Burned candles. Realigned our chakras. We became yoga instructors or found ones to teach us yoga in our homes. We then got a reward for our work. Hope. We got a black president.
Obviously the world around us was changing. We were growing and moving forward. Things, we, were getting better.
Then Trump. No amount of sweating or working out, or having black friends was going to drown out the truth that was shown when Trump was elected.
But this isn’t about him. It is about what has been undeniably revealed because of the gift that he is.
Have you ever changed one thing in your life only to discover a domino effect? Slowly but surely (and sometimes not so slowly) other parts of your life change. You get a new wardrobe and you end up feeling more confident. You start working out and you no longer crave the same types of food. You end a relationship and you start writing a book you always wanted to. One thing leads to another because all things are connected to each other…
As a Transformation Coach I have clients that show up with different concerns initially. Some desire physical fitness/movement for sports specific advancement. Others want to lose weight and have no idea how to. Some are having a hard time making life decisions and still others are in pain and not sure why. Now, we are seeking to see what we haven’t seen about our racism and being complicit to the systems that support it. Everyone that shows up is looking for help on the road to their best self.
The best self for one person may is not necessarily the best self for another. We all have our own journeys with individual timelines. We all have special and unique life purposes and often need help uncovering what it is. Many times we are so bogged down by what we think we are supposed to do that we have lost the language of our truth. I am here to help you on your journey, I am your life support.
I empower you to discover and recognize your own higher intelligence which affords you the ability to answer your questions and confidently lead your life. I create a safe space for you to stretch out and grow into your brightest self, enjoying the process along the way. Whether you are leading an all hands meeting, sweating on the bike, hiring an employee, posing on the mat, gaining balance during functional training, talking through an issue, laughing about it all, crying from awakening, quiet in meditation or zoned out during a reiki session, you will come to know and love yourself in a deeper more impactful way than you have ever before.
Through one on one coaching, workshops and speaking engagements, I am here for you.
Mind, body and soul, I empower your transformation.
““Aggressive Empathy and Support is what comes to mind. She knows how to motivate you in a way that doesn’t come off as canned trainer bullshit. She understands the pain of progress, and she will call you out if you are not at least trying to do your best. Once you cross that line of pushing yourself she has your back like your family. She yells both in motivation AND congratulations, but never lets you rest on your laurels. She is fun as hell. And scary as fuck (in a good way).””
““Heart, Head & Body - she works with all 3 and figures out the combination that will help you achieve your goals. My improvement after 18 months is mind blowing. I’m moving every day and I’ve lost weight for the first time in years. She’s very patient and that’s essential to building trust.””
