Understanding Chronic Illness with Lauren Keller

Understanding Chronic Illness with Lauren Keller

So many people currently are suffering from chronic illness and getting little to no results when it comes to treating it with western medicine. Is there a way to integrate natural health alternatives with western medicine and achieve actual healing results?

What is chronic illness and how can we better understand it so we can move toward healing?

Join me as I discuss these topics with Lauren Keller, Nurse and Chronic Illness Coach.

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a Nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife turned chronic illness & nutrition coach. I am also a chronic illness warrior myself! I became ill with a mysterious illness at the age of 27, at the time in someone's life which should be a peak of health, satisfaction and joy. I went to doctor's appointments with a dizzying array of symptoms and a devastating loss of lifestyle. I was once an extremely active runner and yogi and overnight became so debilitated that I could barely stand up without fainting, let alone socialize, exercise or do fun things! I was often met with disbelief about the severity of my symptoms and was largely written off as "depressed" or "anxious," both of which I had never been before. I suffered for too long and with very little support within the medical establishment to make me well again. I was often dismissed and sent to "another specialist" as the buck was passed to the next provider.

Finally, 2 years later, I was diagnosed with chronic neurological Lyme disease, POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), breast implant toxicity (terrible decision when I was 18), immune system impairment, endometriosis, severe food allergies, candida, multiple gut infections, parasites, and chronic pain. My body was overwhelmed and I felt depressed, anxious and hopeless. I found my healing path with a mixture of both allopathic and alternative therapies and I am now here to guide you in your health journey. I wish I had a chronic illness coach when I first became ill. Now, I help you find your healing path while also saving you money at high cost functional medical doctor's offices!

Food is NOT a Fight with Jais Curry

Food is NOT a Fight with Jais Curry

Do you struggle with food?

Do you feel like all you ever want is sweets and then you beat yourself up after you eat alll the cookies?

Well, my amazing guest today is a Food Freedom Coach, she knows the struggles of dieting, binge eating and all the things around food. Today she is going to give you the low-down on why we end up in a struggle with food and help you see once and for all that food is not a fight and it doesn’t have to be from today on!

As women most of us struggle with our body image and as a result we struggle with food. We often end up punishing ourselves for not looking like we think we should, or eating what we think we should and we end up in a terrible cycle that is imprisoning and quite frankly, just depressing.

The truth is, its not really about food, its not really about our body. There is always an underlying issue within ourselves that we aren’t looking at – a core wound. Once we address this core wound we find our freedom.

I’m super excited for you to listen in to today’s episode and find out the root cause of body dysmorphia, fighting with food and emotional eating.

So here is the low down on what we talk about in this episode:

 

Jais Curry is a Food Freedom Coach dedicated to helping women end their obsession with food and end yo-yo dieting for good. She became a Certified Life Coach in 2018 and started coaching women to reach their highest potential in career and life.

While on this journey, Jais quickly realized how important the food and body piece was and began training under Samantha Skelly at Hungry for Happiness in 2019. Today, she helps perfectionist, type A women overcome their fears around food and their bodies, using her custom Food is Not a Fight Program.

Healing the Womb with Elaine Lopez-Bogard

Healing the Womb with Elaine Lopez-Bogard

 Our womb spaces are powerful creative spaces but so often we experience trauma and loss within our womb and that leaves us feeling disconnected from our bodies. As women this can leave us feeling guilty, ashamed, and can block us from actually being able to conceive – both in a literal and metaphysical sense.

In today’s episode I speak with Elaine Lopez-Bogard, Owner of “Healing the Womb”.

We discuss the role thoughts and emotions play in preventing and allowing conception. Especially the shame and guilt of loss from miscarriage, still birth, and abortion. Because many women don’t have a safe outlet to express their emotions these emotions become blocks in their creation—not just creating babies but actual blocks in creating happiness.

There is a definitive importance between creating a connection with your spirit baby before you conceive.

How to shift from the finite into infinite possibilities with quantum energy healing.

Tune in and listen as we discuss all things womb healing!

---------------------------

 

Elaine Lopez-Bogard is a Multidimensional Healer and Wholistic Kinesiologist that helps women create a conscious conception. Elaine got so good at this her clients jokingly call her the ‘Oprah Of Conception’ as in “you get a baby! And you get a baby! And you!”

Elaine works in a holistic way by helping women release wounds from their womb and connecting to the actual babies that are in Spirit waiting to be born and establishing a soul connection between them and their mothers.

Elaine calls this process Quantum Fertility™ and she has consistently helped women release grief from pregnancy loss, increase odds of IVF and IUI, and most importantly brought beautiful newborn babies into the arms of their mothers.

Heal Your Broken Heart

Heal Your Broken Heart

 Grab your free workbook and meditation with extra tools, a daily spiritual practice and more by visiting this link:  https://sacredspacewithkatie.com/free-masterclass/ 


I know what its like to have a broken heart

To feel completely alone, unworthy of love, to constantly be repeating toxic and abusive relationship patterns over and over

It’s defeating. Its depressing and quite honestly NO ONE should have to live like that, EVER.

I created my business because I FINALLY found a way to heal my broken heart and stop all the patterns and cycles that kept me stuck in relationships that told me I was unworthy and undeserving of love.

So in today’s episode I am sharing with you my Masterclass in Heart Healing. This masterclass will give you tools you can use today that will help you start the healing process, that will guide you toward empowerment and will set you up to manifest REAL TRUE Sacred Union in your life.

I have always been a romantic, I have always believed in TRUE LOVE, in soulmates, in DEEP connection. But I could never find it. I always ended up in relationships where I felt defeated, where I felt even more lonely than when I was single. Where the other person verbally, emotionally or even physically abused me. I was sooo tired of living that way and experiencing that.

So 3 years ago I decided to heal. I decided to take responsibility for my love and find love inside myself.

I don’t believe any woman should have to suffer at the hands of another person. I don’t believe that we should lose ourselves and our identity within our relationships. I don’t believe we should feel unworthy of being truly loved just because the men we currently attract make us feel that way.

I believe and have always believed that there has to be a better way. AND I found it!

Listen in below as I discuss what it takes to heal your broken heart and manifest your soulmate!

Health Consciousness - Health is not in the body

How to Make Fear Your Friend

In this episode I discuss how we so often run from our fear not realizing that our fear can truly be our friend. It can show us where we have limiting beliefs come up and it can also give us really good advice if we are willing to listen! (Sounds crazy I know!) But I promise you this is one of my favorite episodes! FULLY realizing what fear can do to us if we don’t address it and connect with it is completely LIFE-CHANGING!
