My Journey

How I went from struggling physically, mentally, & emotionally to reclaiming my health and learning to listen to my own intuition!

I grew up in Poland but have been living in UK since 2007 & I am enjoying a Happy Marriage, Family and Home in Scottish Countryside

But, life has not always been straightforward for me. I have struggled with difficult & abusive relationships, depression, and many physical health problems. I tried looking to other people for solutions to my problems – doctors, therapists, or healers – but no one ever had the comprehensive answers for me & my unique situation. While each of them looked only at one part of what was going on.

I ended up frustrated with doctor’s 10 minute appointments and began reading book after book to try and gain a deeper understanding of our bodies in general. At one point in my search, I found the book, “How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me’’ by Susan Blauner.

It was the first time I started to understand how our brain, thoughts, emotions and bodies work as a whole system and that our healing requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

I went through a long & winding journey of trying different healthy eating habits & healing modalities.

I spent all of my spare time at University reading nutrition and psychology books even though I was studying Business!

I was attempting to cure my depression, anaphylaxis allergy, painful menstruation, migraines, skin sensitivities, and what I thought was a hormonal imbalance and more.

I worshipped kale, went into juicing, vegan diet and stopped drinking alcohol, tried various detoxes and other on-trend health practices.

Although I continued to go to therapy (which was keeping me afloat but not a solution on its own) and had learned healthier habits, I graduated MA hons in Business and HRM completely burnt out.

Doctors couldn’t figure out the cause and called it “stress” so I went to a Naturopathic Practitioner and learned I had adrenal fatigue. My body was simply worn down after years of overstimulation and lack of nourishment specific to my body type.

I Had just finished my Business degree in University when I hit what felt like absolute bottom

I was eating a Vegan diet at the time, already having gluten intolerance and developed grain & legume intolerance while the adrenal fatigue was not getting any better, and my overall health was getting worse.

I learn more about Highly Sensitive People and Empaths and realised I am one too. But I did not know how to manage my emotions and kept repressing everything I felt, causing myself more health problems.

My anaphylaxis allergies were manageable with healing methods like EFT, but they were not gone altogether. I even had an attack on my wedding day and in the middle of the Nepalese jungle on our honeymoon, but thankfully in both cases, I was able to get it under control fairly quickly.

I realised that I needed a more sustainable, holistic lifestyle change instead of trying to cure each separate issue with random advice.

I had become accustomed to living in constant stress and fight-or-flight mode and needed to learn how to relax; mentally and physically. I continued to learn everything I could about the brain, the body, our gut, emotions and everything else that affects our health.

Even though I had taken time off after school to help with my healing, I knew I could not go into traditional corporate work. I began looking for like-minded people in my community, enrolled in an IIN health coaching program, took an entrepreneurial business course, and became a Theta Healing Practitioner.

With the knowledge and skills gained from my IIN Health Coaching Certification, Advance IIN Gut Health Course, Qualifi Certification, and Theta Healing Certification I have finally been able to feel grounded, healthy and fulfiled in my life.

I have learned how to eat intuitively for my body type, my dosha & metabolic type, how to breathe for deep relaxation, and how to manage my emotions. Despite life happening, (Covid anyone?) I am happy, joyful, calm and full of energy. I feel incredible peace in my life; with myself, and with everything around me.

I no longer get dragged into drama or looking for answers from external sources. I follow my intuition as well as my mind, both in harmony. I have been able to eliminate antidepressants and stop therapy after almost 12 years.

My physical issues are all healed – I am healthier & stronger than I have ever been and I haven’t had an anaphylaxis allergy attack in years. I got pregnant on our first attempt and had healthy pregnancy followed by peaceful home hypnobirth.

I am fascinated with microbes, gut health and soil health and ways to look after them and help them look after me and my family. I have a garden at home filled with healthy foods and plants that are good for me & I enjoy eating intuitively in harmony with seasons or my body changing needs.

I regularly connect with my body, my emotions, and whatever else is coming up or stored in me. And work with it to resolve anything blocking me.

I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and skills with Highly Sensitive People who are struggling with the same gut-related issues I have faced. Because most of every health issue in one way or another is linked either to our gut or our emotions.

I know how it feels to be worn out & frustrated from the lack of answers and ongoing health issues. I also know how easy it is to get overstimulated and overwhelmed with life.

I am passionate about helping HSPs to support their gut health with use of their own intuition and intuitive eating. To guide you with the knowledge, tools & resources you need to heal and live a peaceful & fulfilling life.
