I choose to eternally embrace my wellness, that is a commitment I have made to myself. I prioritize my health & well-being.

The level of care, support, respect, & love I have for my body is deep. I have been through deep experiences, I have experienced many different depths.

I have reframed
“I go through things the hard way” & “I learn the hard way”
to
“I go through the depths” & “I learn through the depths”.

Because this is true, I have been in the experience of some deep experiences & I’ve learned a lot about myself & my inner & outer worlds. I have a deep understanding of these due to my deep experiences.

The depths of pain, the depths of love, the depths of all that has been felt. I have experienced the depths of my health, the low of lows & the high of highs.

Instead of continuing to resist the deep experiences with my health, I decided to embrace the depth. To embrace the opportunity I’ve been given time & time again, to embrace my wellness.

I have experienced the depths of a weak vessel & the depths of a strong vessel. I choose to experience life in my strong vessel.

My body is the vessel I experience this life in. I desire to experience the depths of this life (my one life) in my body (my one body).

My wellness is something I choose to eternally embrace.

the end of October was a period of deep illumination for me. forces in the cosmos 100% played a role, we had a full moon & lunar eclipse in Ta**us- our inner world was center stage & the play was a reflection of the past 2 years, a cycle that started in November 2021. this performance needed to play one more time in order for me to get off the stage, shed the costume, & lay it to rest

at the time of my birth the Sun, the Moon, & Venus were all in the sign of Ta**us. the planet of identity, the planet of emotion, & the planet of love all in the sign that craves comfort, stability, & security

the past few weeks leading into November were chaotic & emotional (very emotional) but after the dust settled i realized how meant to be it was. i was experiencing insecurity & instability through the emotions i was feeling & the actions my emotions led me to take, it was quite uncomfortable

my identity was in question- “who am i?”, “what do i want to do?”, “how do i want to live?”

the past 2 years i have been dedicated to my health, my self-growth, & my education. i transformed into an entirely new Kayla- Kayla the health girl, Kayla the wellness girl, Kayla the spiritual girl. my life went from partying, escaping, & surviving to studying, reflecting, & healing, my life literally took a 360

everything that shifted at the start of this 2-year cycle was challenged & in question. i fell into old patterns & habits, old ways of being & feeling. i was questioning myself- “do i even want to be “the health girl”?”, “do i even really care about this?”, “do i even want to help others on their health journey?”

all that i’ve been led to, all that i’ve been prioritizing, all that has led to my expansion was suddenly up for debate. my experiences in the month of October while some were yes… intense others were exciting but all were illuminations shining light on my true identity- who i am, authentically

i always say “knowledge is power” because it truly is

when you learn information you can choose to receive it in two different ways

either in a negative light or in a positive one

when first learning about the realities of our modern food system here in the US i was stuck in the shadows of the light that were being illuminated

“why the f*** do they even allow such harmful substances to be sprayed on our food?!?!?”

“everything is poison !!!”

“of course the healthier option is more expensive 😤🙄”

& tbh that got me nowhere. the only place that kept me was deep in the dark corner of hatred & fear

but now…

i vote with my dollar by supporting organic & regenerative farming practices

i choose to nourish my body with food that meets my personal standards

i prioritize the health of my body over the difference on a price tag

this is a personal decision & you can make your own as well

i’ve included some information about conventional vs. organic farming to spread awareness

because again, knowledge is power

& you have your free will to make a decision that feels best for you

swipe to read my story of how i was led to the field of holistic health + wellness

sure cycle syncing, weight training, HIIT, etc. can be good for the body

but you know what i’ve found the most power in regarding the movement i choose to partake in?

the connection i have with my body

listening to what it needs each day because each day is a different day

just as you feel different each day so does your body!!!

some days i feel like walking
some i feel like stretching
some i feel like playing soccer
some i feel like running
some i feel like jumping

by honoring what your body is craving you strengthen the trust, the relationship between you + your body

choose flow over force
+ always love over fear

HEALTH UPDATE: (read before swiping!!!)

today I started an herbal protocol to address parasitic overgrowth. last July I too started a parasite protocol but there’s something, actually a few things, that feel drastically different about it this time around.

this time I feel supported, I feel educated, I feel confident, I feel empowered, I feel connected.

I’m currently being guided through a 4-month detox by practitioners I was led to, souls I was literally meant to find ( s/o + .with.hayley )

I have gained knowledge about parasites- how they’re introduced + change the terrain of the body, the way they affect our mood, our digestion, our habits, our health, etc., how to cleanse them (appropriately!!!), + ways to support myself while I rid my body of what no longer belongs there.

I have been prepping my body for this experience of true healing since February, something I was not led to do in my past experience.

before finding the field of regenerative health, I was in the holistic nutrition space. I was studying it, I hired my own practitioner who went through the same program I did.

I was put on a parasite protocol without the prep, not feeling an ounce of the way I feel now. I learned firsthand how important it is to have proper prep, support + education.

I have included some pictures in this thread for reference of the ways in which my body communicated to me that it was not ready, that it was not supported, that it did not agree with the protocol I was placed under. (swipe at your own discretion)

I’m grateful that I listened to my body’s screams + my inner knowing that this was not right, I stopped that protocol.

your body is ALWAYS speaking to you.
your intuition knows best, listen to it.

one year ago i moved home with my parents + it was the best decision i could’ve made

i was hurting physically, mentally, emotionally

i’m grateful i had the support to do so

while it may have taken me a couple years to make the decision that was so obvious to make, i had to come to the realization all on my own

i had a dream that put things in perspective for me

and oh, did i listen…

i was now able to receive the
support that i oh so needed
