Her chapter covers that health journey and the coaching and digital tools she now offers. At the age of twenty-two, I developed chronic fatigue after having sur- gery from a ski accident. While physical therapy was helpful, I would have to seek alternative treatment to regain the full use of my knee. In the course of seeking answers, I discovered the power of mindful living and became a conscious consumer. These tools helped me overcome health and life challenges, from trauma and chronic illness to domestic violence. These personal experiences, which drove me to search for answers to improve the quality of my health and life have nurtured my passion to share what I have researched, learned, and applied to help others. My purpose is to empower people to realize the value of their own life. Whether you like mainstream, alternative, or integrative medicine, as your solution for health and well-being, be conscious of the choices you make. They matter both in the short term and in the long term. My book, written over a decade, "The Memory of Health", is a mem- oir and a guide to living well, a comprehensive resource on chronic fatigue, and how self-care and lifestyle medicine may help you too! In the end, how we interpret life is more powerful than our genetics! I've achieved many of my goals as a professional writer, dancer, and the most meaningful of all, my own business in the wellness sector. My mission is to encourage people to treat themselves, each other, and the world we live in well, and to learn sustainable lifestyle and wellness habits. As I continue to set and achieve goals for myself, personally and professionally, I continue to practice what I recommend to my clients each and every day. I want to EMPOWER YOU to regain and harness your CONFIDENCE as well as your well-being, and to reach your full potential! Never give up on yourself. You are worth it! **"As a wellness consultant, I help people learn how to improve their health and wellness habits, which may** #### lead to more well-being and a greater quality of life." For over twenty years, I've studied and trained in alternative and inte- grative health as a patient advocate, consultant, speaker, coach, grad student, author, yoga instructor, executive, and as a broker in the nat- ural foods industry. I live, study, and practice health and well-being. As a wellness coach and consultant, I help people create and improve their self-care, health and wellness habits. So many of us wish to improve our health and well-being, but need support in following through on our health and wellness goals. I can be that person for you, because I have learned to show up for myself in order to improve my well-being and quality of life. Through my own personal journey of well-being, I discovered how much I love teaching people how to find balance, increase their ener- gy, relax more, and become more in tune with the amazing vehicles which carry them throughout this life-their mind, body, heart, and spirit!

Our body has feedback loops of energy, and different systems are talking to one another (and us) all the time. Slow down and listen to what your body is saying to you in the present moment. Mindfulness can help you to bridge the gap between symptoms and well-being. Even if your body lands on a new normal, mindfulness can reduce symptoms. Mindfulness, it its original meaning, means a lucid state of being. When we are mindful, we can create happy memories that can make us more resilient. Mindfulness is connected to memory. ##### Be mindful as you travel throughout life. You can create a beautiful life simply by showing up for it, yourself, and the people in your orbit. Connection is what makes us whole and strong. We are wired to connect. Find ways to connect more in your life, in order to harness the healing energy and power of social bonds. Cultivating more mindfulness greatly impacts your health and well-be- ing. It can reduce your stress levels, help you retain memory, and increase neural plasticity, which is your capacity to be resilient. There is also the concept of traumatic resilience, which can include mindful- ness and support. At any point in time, you can use awareness and mindfulness to listen to your body, heart, mind, and soul to slow down, tune in, and reca- librate your well-being. You can talk to your mind and body, and set the tone for your journey back to well-being. ##### You can change your health and wellness habits for the better. It’s easier than you think. Set your intention to heal, change, and rise up, etc. Take baby steps to help your brain rewire over time. Use reinforcers like cues, social bonds, quotes, or mantras to remem- ber what’s the most important to you! ##### The Memory of Health Book Review *“Edie’s sweet, sensitive spirit comes* *through in her writing. She gives you* *workable tools that make a difference* *in daily life. Her work is an awesome* *accompaniment to therapy, and supports* *many kinds of self-healing work.”* ##### Pyper Thaller, LPC ### NEXT STEP Schedule a Complimentary Discovery Call.
