Rooted In Health Mastermind Program

My life forever changed on Halloween night 10 years ago.  I was a young mom, 8 months pregnant with my daughter, and my first son Seth was 2 years old.  My husband and I had just put our son to bed after a fun night of trick or treating.  Soon after we had all fallen asleep, I woke up shaking, disoriented, and in a panic.  I had been experiencing unrelenting anxiety and panic for a couple months prior to this night, and had even had a few full blown panic attacks, but this was one different.  What was happening in my body was so severe, so bad, that I woke my husband up.  I told him, “go get Seth, I need to tell him goodbye.  Because, I’m dying.”  

Obviously, I did not die.  I went to the hospital that night and they told me there was nothing wrong with me.  The ER doctors handed my husband a number for a suicide help line and told us to go home because it was all in my head.  

I knew this wasn’t in my head.  Something was happening in my body to trigger that kind of reaction.  And, as a mother, that night I became determined to figure out how to heal my body.  I have a family to care for, I have a purpose here on Earth and it’s not to be sick.  Something had to change.  

My health had really started to decline, when my son Seth was diagnosed with Autism.  When we got that diagnosis, my instinct as his mother was to pour everything into him, and to do everything I possibly could to help him get better.  He spent his days screaming and banging his body against the wall.  I simply wasn’t ok with that.  He was alive, but wasn’t truly participating in life and I wanted to see him thrive.  We went to all kinds of specialists; we changed our diet.  We bought expensive supplements, took herbs, did homeopathy, went to doctors and healers.  We did everything possible.  In the course of taking care of my son, I neglected myself.   My son’s diagnosis and my own deteriorating health is what caused the stress that created my physical and emotional pain.  That night in the Emergency Room was just the starting point of 5 long years of searching for answers and living my life on the sidelines.  During this journey to health, I got to a point where I wasn’t feeling any joy or happiness anymore.  I became so stressed out about my health, and my son’s health, that I grew more and more sick.

What is so interesting is if I go back to my childhood, that just isn’t me.  Sitting on the sidelines and not enjoying life is not who I am.  My mom tells the story of me, when I was in 3rd grade, and she was watching me on the playground at field day.  I’m sure you can remember how amazing field day was as a little kid.  I was out running a relay race, and out of the corner of my eye I see the special needs class.  I can see them observing and watching all of us have fun and play, while they lived life on the sidelines.  They were viewing the fun and the joy we were all experiencing, but not participating.  And my heart just broke for them.  So I immediately went over and grabbed this little boy in a wheelchair and I started pushing him around the track in this relay race.  And in that moment, it wasn’t about winning the race anymore, it was about helping this other boy participate in life.  My mom said it was the most amazing thing, because as I did that, all the other kids in my class went over to help the special needs kids participate in field day.  That to me is at the core of who I am – to have joy and be happy and to bring joy and hope to others.  And I don’t think I’m that different than anyone else.  I think that’s what most of us want in life – we just want joy and happiness.  And I think most of us have the sincere desire to bring that to other people too.  

So I got to this place in my life where I didn’t have any joy or hope for a better day, and my son wasn’t very happy either.  My kids were always sick, I was always sick.  And I just felt like ‘this is not us’, this is not who we are.  The most frustrating thing is that I was doing everything “right”.  I had this great diet, eating nothing but salads at every meal which was so frustrating, taking all of these supplements, exercising, resting, seeing doctors, and nothing was improving.  We weren’t getting any better.  

Luckily, I started working with an energy medicine practitioner.  And through working with her I got to the root of what was causing the stress and began releasing that which was manifesting itself as these physical and emotional challenges.  I was able to start to break through and connect some of the dots on the problems that I was having, and start making some progress.  I probably had gotten about 75% back, but there was still this big chunk that I could feel was still missing.  I wasn’t experiencing joy or happiness that I knew was mine to claim.  I didn’t connect that last dot until I was sitting on the back of the porch one day on our deck.  I can remember it like it was yesterday.  I was sitting there, my husband was working in the yard and my kids playing outside.  I was sitting on the deck, probably reading another diet book trying to figure out how to fix myself, and It finally hits me what’s wrong with me.  The reason why I had not fully healed and gotten better was because, at the core, I believed something was wrong with me.  I believed I wasn’t well.  Because I believed I wasn’t well, there was no way I could totally ever be well.  With that belief system, I couldn’t be healthy or happy.  That day I realized that physical and emotional wellbeing is created through joy and happiness – and that stress is the biggest threat to our health and wellbeing.

Sitting on my porch that afternoon, I made a decision that I wasn’t sick anymore.  I started thinking, breathing, eating, and living like I wasn’t sick.  And, after being sick for 8 years, diagnosed with an auto-immune disease, within 3 months all of it was gone. 

It wasn’t about the supplements or being vegan or paleo or cutting out every form of sugar.  All of that just made me more stressed and sick.  

Our emotions set the stage for our physical health.  I discovered that at the root of lasting health is joy, gratitude, and a positive mindset.

I created what I like to call, “automatic health and happiness”.  The kind of health that just happens without stress or worry.  You wake up in the morning feeling good, ready for the new day, and trust that your body is in a constant state of regeneration and healing.  Several years ago, it felt like the complete opposite – I woke up every morning thinking, “Ok, what next?”.  

What I did to heal was I applied all the principals I discovered and created in the Rooted In Health healing system, surrounded myself with positivity and compassion, and I exercised my power of choice – I decided I was going to have joy and I was going to be healthy.  What’s so interesting, I think back to that little boy in the wheelchair, and all he wanted to do was to participate in life and not view life from the sidelines, but actually be in it.  And now I finally decided I was going to stop viewing my life from the sidelines, and I was going to be an active participant.  I chose to create joy and thriving health.  As I did that and as my life changed.  

I use what I learned on my journey, my training and practice as a full time energy medicine practitioner, the power of choice and mindset, and powerful emotional healing tools to help you heal from the stress that is at the root of your physical and emotional pain.  My mission is to  teach you how to overcome your stress, and empower you to create your own health.  The Rooted in Health system empowers you to take back your health, your happiness, and your life; so that you can fully participate in life and not view it from the sidelines anymore.
