Return to Your Heart’s Song was birthed from not only my own personal struggles, but those of so many women I have worked with over the years.

I struggled with “treating” women’s health issues for over a decade trying to get to the true root cause of what is going on with all of us and what can make us feel better. I worked for one degree after another, multiple certifications in functional medicine specialties and I still think a lot of it is missing the mark. And this leads us to be frustrated and feeling stuck.

One of the big things that arose from so many conversations with so many women (myself included) is that there is a big disconnect from the women within…our deep, inner self.

One truth that kept coming up for me is that we can’t be healthy or function well if we stay disconnected from who we truly are and what we really want to do. The reality is that health evades us when we aren’t aligned to our own truth.

Our pain and our illness are often messengers…maybe more like guides…that are trying to get our attention so that they can show us the way back to the joy and power we have inside of us.

I know it can be scary to even embark on such a journey. We’ve been taught to swallow the belief that we are responsible for everyone else’s happiness. We’ve been shown that it’s our job to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders and not complain about doing it. We’ve been told to be quiet, but not too loud; to be bold, but not too strong; to be sexy, but not too provocative….the list goes on and on.

Trying to live up to societal and religious standards is not only exhausting, but it is unhealthy and definitely useless for our health.
