When setting out on a journey, do not seek advice from those who have never left home - Rumi
I am a body storyteller, medical empath, intuitive, wise woman, and animal person. I have always been energetically sensitive so this work is a natural fit for me and where my gifts are most strongly expressed. For many years what I practiced was difficult for people to understand; it seems the age of energetics is nigh, it certainly is what humans need at this time for what ails us chronically.
An astute doctor (Dr. Jules Constant) said the best way to find and establish health is to get a disease, and then figure out how to cure yourself. This is the western description of the shaman's journey, where one is "given" a very thorny health problem and nobody but you can figure the way out. I have been through that journey via mercury toxicity (vaccinations and amalgam) that led to Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and ultimately the near-destruction of my endocrine system, gut, and more. Along the way I was educated by thyroid dysfunction and its many tentacles: leaky gut syndrome, severe food reactions, chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, epic chronic fatigue. That feels like another lifetime, and I am mindful of how precious health is.
The western system was rooted in my psyche and I believed natural methods were the icing on the cake to medicine. I always preferred getting things from the simplest, cleanest source as I was a budding chemically sensitive person, and pharmaceuticals never agreed with me. Perfume and scented items gave me a headache. But I also believed (mistakenly) I needed a prescription for thyroid replacement so had to be under a medical doctor's care. I gave western medicine a 30 year chance but my continued downhill slide convinced me to leave and find my own way back to health. Today I can eat what I like, I don't have crushing fatigue, and my brain and vitality have returned to a degree and continue to improve. In my 60's I see myself growing healthier all the time, as my peers who have embraced western medicine take more pharma and have more complaints.
I have spent many hours of study obtaining useful, reasoned knowledge, but as important is my intuition. I have a lifelong kinship with animals, who are my greatest teachers as they require me to trust my instincts if I am to serve them to the best of my abilities. They don't have a placebo effect, so when something works you don't have to guess, you just respect and appreciate its power. As luck or design would have it, animals have been the perfect teachers for talking to humans bodies.
