If you are asking yourself these questions, you are not alone. I should know, as they have been burning a path into my core as far back as I can remember.  My challenge was, no one could answer them for me. I realized that the people whom I was looking too for answers were also asking them. Their egos were too big for them to admit that to me... my first aha moment in trusting your gut!
 
So, I took a nontraditional path to find my answers.  That path included nontraditional self-exploration and ways of educating myself. I had already gone to college, and I knew I would not find my answers in these traditional institutions.
 
I found teachers, gurus, and classrooms in some of the most unlikely places. The world became my university; I studied the mind and became a ‘real’ student of it. I learned the body through the lens and principles of Ayurveda. I fell totally in love with this 5000-year-old science. It made me fully understand that our bodies are intelligent with an innate ability to heal itself. We and our bodies are not separate from our external and internal environments! I studied how energy works in and around us and its impact on our emotional and physical healing, and our life choices.
