The Journey of Life: Finding My Calling in Preconception Wellness
Have you ever experienced a moment where you questioned why you were here, at this specific point in your life? It's a reflection that often leads us down the path of self-discovery. Life, to me, is all about this journey and the continuous evolution of oneself. Looking back on past decisions, I'm always fascinated by how they've shaped my present. Every decision we make is the right decision at that moment, given the resources and mindset we have. In my view, there are no failures; every experience is either a success or a valuable lesson paving the way for future success. And remember, success is a deeply personal concept, unique to each individual.
But how did I discover my passion for working in the preconception wellness realm?
I've always seemed to exude a nurturing, 'mom' energy. Friends and acquaintances have often asked me about my children, even though I currently only have a medium-haired cat named Aurora. In high school, I earned the nickname 'mom' because I was always prepared with tissues, wet wipes, or anything you might need. People even mistook my little brother for my own child. (For context, my brother and I have an eight-year age gap.)
Reflecting on my decision to attend chiropractic school, I recall being torn between two options. After visiting both schools, I made the choice that felt right for me. Little did I know that this decision would lead to meeting some of the most amazing people, who are not just colleagues but also dear friends. They live in different cities, states, and even continents, yet that one choice brought them into my life. Without chiropractic school, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to travel to Singapore, practice there, and return to the USA at just the right time. I wouldn't have engaged in conversations with colleagues about the Schaefer Protocol or reached the point I'm at today. Perhaps I would have eventually found my way here, but the journey would have been entirely different.
“Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change ”
Have you ever had a dream that lingers in your mind, refusing to fade away?
Dreams can also play a role in inspiring our actions. I vividly remember a dream I had in my early twenties, where I struggled to get pregnant. While dreams may not always have a straightforward interpretation, I often wondered if this dream held some significance, not just for me but for society as a whole. Subsequently, I've dreamt of having my own children, and these dreams have contributed to my current focus – a growing concern about the challenges men and women face in conceiving.
In life, the right opportunities tend to find us at precisely the right time.
When I first learned about the Schaefer Protocol, there was a waiting list, and the program only started in January, whereas I discovered it in February or March. It demanded a considerable exercise in patience. Nevertheless, I trusted my gut and joined the waiting list, even though I didn't fully understand what the program entailed. I just had a gut feeling that it was something I needed to do for myself and that it would also enable me to assist others on their health journey.
In the realm of health and wellness, my path has taken me down various avenues, some of which I've explored briefly, and others that have become a permanent part of my life. This, I believe, is the beauty of life – selecting what works and discarding what doesn't.
One of my health journeys has revolved around toxic-free education for clean beauty and skincare. However, I felt that something was missing. Currently, all the pieces of the puzzle seem to fit, marking the beginning of a new chapter in my journey and how I intend to make an impact on the world. They say that there's no greater gift than giving and serving others.
“The secret to living is giving”
One thing I've learned is to trust my instincts, even when they don't seem to make sense initially. So, I embark on this consulting journey in the realm of preconception wellness. I'm certain it will evolve into something even more significant, extending beyond me when considering the generational legacies this type of work can create. I envision it will continue to transform as I build my own family someday. For now, I plant the seeds here in fertility work, eager to see how these seeds flourish.
