healing starts within you + creating vestibular symptom freedom
Hi out there. Em here.
Through sharing my journey with a vestibular something & beyond, I have felt the need to emphasize the absurdity of what it felt like to go through a chaotic health crisis because I know that there are so many people out there trying to make sense of the symptoms.
I receive messages from people relating to how I felt and in search of answers. I deeply understand this exploration and my experience has guided me on a beautiful adventure of creating my chronic wellness.
My vestibular something hit on Halloween 2016. My oldest son was two and filled with giddy excitement to go out trick-or-treating for the first time. I was determined to be a part of it.
This would be the first of countless times that I would put on a happy face when symptoms were attacking my mind and body.
I felt detached from the body I was standing it, and my eyes were seeing things a bit skewed. It still didn’t cross my mind that it was anything more than cold symptoms though. I had it in my head that I would just persevere through the night and sleep this off. Being so naïve was a gift in a weird way because had I known the battle ahead, I would not have understood it.
I did go out trick-or-treating with my boys and it felt terrible. My balance was in disarray, walking felt like a challenge, and being out in the darkness was unsettling. I just kept focusing on the smiling face of my toddler, filling my heart with joy. Tomorrow would be a brand-new day and this absurdity would be over.

If you know my story, then you also know I went through a life-changing healing journey. No overnight fixes. Lots of ups & downs. But also a creation of freedom from symptoms and taking ownership of my health in a way that never existed in my past.

I want to be honest about the vestibular stuff so that when people visit my corner of the universe, they can walk away knowing why I care so much about the things I talk about and why I think those things are the ticket to making life changing shifts in our wellness.
For me, a whole foods, nutrient-dense diet is a means to feel good (inside and out). Creating lifestyle rituals is a way to fuel my mind, body & soul. Maintaining my health through my own personal Morphogenic Field Technique sessions is a gift to myself and my family.
There are heartfelt roots beneath all of it.
