My story - my inspiration:
At the beginning there was the athlete, the tennis player, who thought that physical strength, mobility and fitness was a pre-requisite for happiness in this body. But competition takes its toll and injuries and bodily breakdowns became more frequent. I turned to "alternative" healing methods including homeopathy, chiropractic care, Chinese medicine, massage therapy and more. I began to practice Thai Qi, Qi Gong and Yoga. I changed the way I ate and slept and lived. I regained strength and wellbeing. I was in my 20s...
My own quest for well-being inspired me to share what I was learning and experiencing with others and help them the way I helped myself...
From teaching Tennis, I became a certified Personal Trainer, I received my Massage therapy License and went on to study Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. I followed my vision of opening a center for alternative healing and movement. Dragon Loft offered Yoga, Kung Fu, Pilates, as well as, Massage Therapy and Acupuncture.
But wellness can never be taken for granted and it requires constant work and dedication. I had to learn it the hard way again. The majority of my 40s I spent healing from 3 cancerous tumors, surgeries and chemo therapy. Everything, I thought I had learned about living well and being healthy flew out of the window. It was most definitely a wake - up call.
This wake - up call, this healing journey, led me to the red road of life. I am walking that path for 13 years now. I celebrate 9 years cancer free. I have dedicated my whole being to healing through constant transformation and expanded my work as a massage therapist into physical therapy and now Upledger CranioSacral therapy and SomatoEmotional Release. Family Constellation yet to come.
The tennis player that couldn't imaging not being able to run, learned how to walk again and remembered once again that living well in our bodies is an absolute privilege.
It is my mission to help all those interested in transformative healing on their journey with everything I have learned and am still learning.
