Yvette's Story
Why I'm so passionate about holistic healing
As a child I had constant ear & sinus infections, 14 pairs of grommets, tonsils and adenoids removed and had so many doses of antibiotics that by the time I was in my early twenties I became allergic to sulfa (an ingredient in the old style of antibiotics). This also left me with a severely compromised immune system. I have had constant colds and flu, glandular fever, Ross River fever, severe joint pain where my husband had to even cut my food for me, endometriosis, almost daily headaches and at least one migraine a month. I was always exhausted and any small amount of stress, a full work day or attempting to get into an exercise routine caused me to get sick.
I realised that this is not what life should be like. It was not what I wanted for myself or what I wanted to pass down to my children. This began what has become an ongoing journey and passion into what makes a healthy human...and what I discovered was that it wasn't what I had been told. I have realised that our body is made to heal. That it is truly an ever changing ecosystem which is constantly being changed and impacted by the environment around it and the environment in it, and that true health has to begin with a holistic approach. This includes food and nutrition, movement, sleep, stress reduction, connection and find a passion and purpose. I began to steadily introduce principles around each of these important pillars of health into my and my families and health and slowly but steadily started to see incredible changes. I no longer need a nana nap in the day, headaches, migraines and endometriosis are a thing of the past. I can get out of bed without pain feeling refreshed and can push my body when needed without falling ill. I haven't had even a sniffle in over two years. It all feels like a miracle and yet is not. It’s just our bodies working the way they should. Now I spend my time coaching clients in these principles and teaching others who have a similar passion to me to help others how to do the same.
Why I'm so passionate about helping families
This picture was taken on the first day of Spring, the day my daughter Savannah and I realised we had just gotten through the first winter in each of our lives without getting sick! I was 45 and she was 9...thats a lot of sick winters!
At 4 weeks old Savannah received 8 massive doses of antibiotics for bacterial meningitis and, whilst still in hospital, she contracted bronchiolitis from one of the other children in the ward. The antibiotics saved her life but left her with no gut bacteria and therefore no immune system. She got every cough, cold, tummy bug, ear and eye infection going around. At two she was given an inhaler and spacer for asthma as she had a constant cough that we could never get rid of. She had itchy patches of eczema on her tummy and chest and suffered from chronic constipation and her little tummy was always very distended.
Through following the same healthy principles I guide my clients and their families through Savannah is a now strong healthy little girl finally able to enjoy sport with her friends without being uncomfortable or falling ill. She no longer suffers from constipation, her asthma and itchy skin is a thing of the past and her immune system is strong and robust.
Why I'm so passionate about coaching online business entrepreneurs
Whilst the changes in our health have been profound, I found myself still stuck in the 9-5 grind, being paid by the hour, missing magic moments with my children and unable to pursue my passion of health and wellness.
Again, I thought " this is not how life should be. There has to be more!" Again, I started researching and found a community of like minded individual who were able to coach me step by step how to take my passion and turn it into my full time income.
Now I spend my days helping families around the world, not only with their personal health but also with their financial health....coaching them to do the same as I have and break free of the grind and follow their dreams
