🥂Being alive is the special occasion. But I also am celebrating something else. I was going to wait until my physical certificate came in the mail but I just received the digital version and I can’t contain my excitement. In an effort to take my own healing from endometriosis (though it is said to be an incurable disease) into my own hands, July of 2021 I enrolled into @nutritionschool to learn more about holistic healing. For years I always knew deep down inside that for me, healing from this debilitating pain involved improving the quality of the full circle of life: food, career, relationships, finances, joy, creativity, home environment, spirituality, social life etc. All of this plays a role in your well-being overall. Funny enough, ever since I was a teen, due to my deep passion for wellness, I’ve always told myself I would love to one day study nutrition and boom! After a full year of courses, I’m beyond proud to say that I’m officially a certified Integrative Nutrition Holistic Health Coach. While I embarked on this journey for my own healing, so many opportunities opened up along the way. I look forward to supporting other women in achieving their version of what being well feels and looks like for them. We all know deep inside the best medicine for us, but sometimes we need someone to guide and support us along the way. Out of all the degrees I have earned, this certification by far is a reflection of my true purpose on this earth. Thank you God for using me. 💖 I’ll be taking clients in September (my brain needs a little rest first! 😂) 🎉 🥂 cheers to being, feeling and looking well 🎉 #TheAlyssaEffect 📸: self portrait
