In the early planning and brainstorming phases, while building my website, I was working on my domain name and finding it to be a bit of a challenge. How does one define themselves in way that seems so front and center? I’m a pretty humble person and I’ve never been super comfortable in the spotlight, unless we are talking about stage lighting…which is a story for another day. Suffice it to say, I don’t prefer to draw too much attention to myself and creating this website felt a bit like standing in a spotlight.
However, back to my domain name…adding Healing after my name felt a little cringy considering today’s current climate in the wellness and yoga world. Hop on Instagram and you’ll find a slew charlatans spewing conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, falsely claiming to have special knowledge, with the audacity to appear more knowledgeable than scientists or medical professionals. I certainly didn’t want anyone getting the idea that I was hopping on that bandwagon (but be sure to take a look at my new line of probiotics….no, haha)
I am not a healer but I know how to facilitate healing. Thich Nhat Hanh says,”When we give ourselves the chance to let go of all our tension, the body’s natural capacity to heal itself can begin to work.” The body is a self-healing organism but we live in a constant state of heightened stress in the fight or flight sympathetic nervous system and we make it real difficult for this healing process to occur. My training and knowledge have taught me the importance of shifting our bodies into the parasympathetic nervous system where stress leaves the body and healing takes place. So, at the end of the day, the best and most concise way to “brand” myself was to add the word Healing to my domain. My goal is to share with you the various ways in which we all can facilitate the healing of ourselves. I’m excited to be here and I hope you’ll join me!
