HEALING AND VIBRANT HEALTH ARE YOUR BIRTHRIGHTS

I’m Juana: woman, wife, friend, sister & daughter, birth witness & admirer, folk herbalist, Reiki master, Bach flower essences trained, avid learner and researcher, critical thinker and most importantly, firm believer & advocate of the body’s innate ability to heal.

A long time ago through my own process with illness, grief and emotions I discovered myself. My outlook on life and everything I thought I knew changed and I therefore began to seek answers and guidance within spaces that were inviting towards questions. I spent years researching, reading, studying, informing myself. I became fascinated with many approaches and lines of thought, to later struggle with them, and then choose some of them again.

In my healing journey, I tried every therapy you can think of, every supplement, diet and approach. I became more and more frustrated every time a new approach didn’t work, or a new practitioner couldn’t help (when they had promised they would), until I realized what had always been there in front of me.

Only I could heal myself, as it is my body that’s healing. It’s my biology that’s constantly working to repair, nurture, clean, filter everything in my body and get back to homeostasis when it’s been lost.

I understood that -some- therapies can certainly help and that different approaches can help different people in their own journeys, but that the fundamental truth is that the body heals, the mind heals and we heal. Nobody heals us.

I also humbly accepted that health and dis-ease are so much more complicated and nuanced than just a few directives, an all encompassing guideline to healing or an only solution.

So…

Today I advocate for self-sufficiency in health in the sense of having a more active and proactive participation in one’s health. Outsourcing our health and wellbeing can be the reason behind not embodying the health we want to embody or for some healing processes to last longer than they should. Plus, being at least informed about the topic is crucial to making informed decisions if we are outsourcing our health.

There is a wide array of theories, therapies and practices when it comes to preventive health and to supporting healing, and my aim is to share tidbits about the ones I resonate with and that I have worked with successfully. All the while, reminding you how powerful your biology is and how perfect our bodies are in taking care of ourselves.

Thank you for being here and hope you can join me on this journey!
