Bio
I am a spiritual seeker on a healing journey that started 20 years ago. My wake-up call was a roller-blading accident which injured my back and I have been seeking wholeness since then. I have lived in chronic back pain (for most of those years constant pain), and for the last 5 years with chronic fatigue as well, and have never given up my goal to regain my strength and my health. On January 1st of this year 2015, I slipped on the ice and the fall re-injured my back. That was the last straw. From that moment on, I made the decision that this year is my breakthrough year; I became more determined than ever to heal. It is vital for me to feel well and happy in my body and I refuse to accept a life of pain (although I have learned to accept it in the moment just to keep myself sane). I was once athletic and outdoorsy and I intend to resume an active lifestyle even if it takes my whole lifetime to figure out how.
The journey has led me through countless exercises, healing techniques, meditation practices, holistic health practitioners, therapists, and diets, all after I gave up on traditional medicine and its drugs, which could not help. I have an enormous arsenal of tools and techniques which help me cope, relieve some pain some of the time, but never do they quite get me where I want to be; feeling good in my body.
I have been, in the past, a wildlife biologist, a performing musician and piano teacher, and a holistic health practitioner. My two passions are music and nature and I continue to play and compose when I can. My love of the outdoors has led me to move from the big city to the country so that I can benefit from the peaceful healing quality of the nature beings with whom I share this beautiful land. I have a particular affinity with wild flowers and also with trees. I talk to them. I receive much wisdom from all the beings, the wind, the water, the earth itself. I feel very supported and loved here.
I spend my days mostly caring for my body which restricts my movements and makes it impossible to function normally as a contributing person in society. I live alone and am fortunate in being able to do so, though now and then I have to call upon my neighbors for help. I am fiercely hanging on to my autonomy even though taking care of my basic needs is an every day struggle. I know many people live in similar situations and in writing my story in this blog, it is my hope to give them encouragement and inspiration to seek their own wholeness and healing. Through this blog, I claim my birthright to be pain-free. I intend to find a way towards well-being and hopefully contribute the same to others in similar situations.
