What is your story? ARE YOU READY?

How are your anger issues related to your cervical spine? How is neck injury or stomach pains related to your emotions? How do your fears fit into your health? How is arthritis related to what is going on deep inside of you?

Sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday’s to-do list, something precious has been lost: your priceless.

I am ready.

Ready for what you ask?

I am ready to sit next to you rather than across from you. I am willing to put the issue in front of us. I am ready to listen, ask questions, and accept that I may not fully understand the issue. I am ready to acknowledge what you do well.  I am ready to empower you.  I am ready to recognize your strengths and how you can use them to address your challenges.  I am ready to genuinely thank you for your efforts.  I am ready to talk to you about how resolving will lead you to your growth and opportunity.

I am ready to model the vulnerability and openness that I will see from you.

Are you ready?

Walk away with confidence, authority, and will to: mend, heal, prevent, prepare, treat, research and utilize all options, question and prove all information, and understand your story from the inside out. Understand what “medicine” is.

How our __(put each phrase below here)____ affects our health.   Say it out loud.

  • Life is
  • Marriage runs
  • Parenting is, and the outcomes of it
  • Home looks, feels, how healthy it is
  • Spiritual life is
  • Social communications are
  • Outlook toward ourselves is

OXYGEN FOR LIFE

September/October 2024 Newsletter

Oxygen. I have written how oxygen is key to keeping our immune system in order and our blood cells healthy. As ordinary as breathing may seem, the intake of oxygen sustains human life at its most fundamental level. This can be seen in the very first book of the Bible in Genesis 2:7: “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul.” The body has an immediate, moment-by-moment need for oxygen; not water, not food … oxygen. Not surprisingly, God has supplied us with more than a few foods that promote oxygen-rich blood to nourish this vital life requirement. Oxygen supports the body’s health, along with foods that build oxygen-rich blood to include in your daily diet (deep greens, kelp, blueberries, lemons, etc.). I like the article above, but I will not say you have to be a vegetarian to attain this kind of health, because each person’s needs are very different; I advocate finding what that is in yourself, but that the diet needs to be mostly raw is definite truth and fact.

On the subject of oxygen, I have learned more about the concept of life itself; I have a brief perspective in the following example.

 I love to write! I have always loved to take notes and journal every part of my life. I never realized I could write without being perfectly able to write and so I lopped it off my radar. I wrote loads of poems as I grew up, and into adulthood. I wrote a song when I was an older teen that was performed in church as a special music long ago. And, I had the idea/dream to do children’s books at one point in my life with old manuscript ideas for those written down in my journals, but I let them slide from lies (deep in my conscious) that I am not a writer. Writers are just that—writers. Not all writers write correctly or with flow; that is what publishers and editors are for. I have learned this. I learned I don’t have to be good at all the aspects of writing to be a writer. I just need the passion and will to do so, and let the others come in and make it sound great. I have learned this same lesson in many areas of my life in recent years. Take an active part in your journey: You were created to use your talents to perform your passions, to accomplish your mission. Look up the book “Find the work you’re wired to do” by Ken Coleman. I just took the assessment, and I will say it is nothing like I have taken in the past. It confirmed, brought out what I just said above as a light bulb moment, for an example of how this test can change your way of thinking about things you lopped off, but can really be YOUR life after all.

And, on that note, check out my book (maybe there will be more), Weeds, a health journey of struggle, discovery and healing with the Master Gardener

I am a good step in the process to better your health. I truly care that you are empowered. I care that you take charge of your health, mind, body, and life soul. I care that you live, filling your entire being with path markers to encourage you forward to the next step.

The reasons why you need a health coach are in this full article copied below from IIN.

As wellness has increased in popularity and the Internet has become an unprecedented resource for everything from recipes to research, many have taken their health into their own hands and experienced a wide range of results. With that has come the explosion of unverified information, confusion, and more yo-yo dieting than ever before!

The truth is there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach that’s going to work for everyone, and figuring out the most nourishing diet and lifestyle for YOU isn’t easy.

There are many factors that go into finding your unique balance, such as your family ancestry, body type, personal preferences, life circumstances, schedule, location, access to resources, and much more. Putting it all together in a way that makes sense and allows you to thrive requires a personal touch from someone knowledgeable and supportive. That’s where a Health Coach comes in!

A Health Coach can help you sort out truth from fiction, provide you with customized information that’s relevant to you and your individual challenges or goals, and most importantly give you the opportunity to ask questions and speak freely in a supportive environment.

1. You feel like something might be off with your health, but you’re not sure what it is.  
In addition to consulting your primary care provider, working with a Health Coach can help you dig deeper into what you’re experiencing, get to the root of your imbalance, and find new ways to help you feel your best again. From fatigue and low energy to acne and digestive issues, Health Coaches guide clients through listening to their bodies and making sustainable lifestyle adjustments to fix seemingly minor issues that may have major effects on health!

In addition, the Wall Street Journal reported on the value and effectiveness of health and wellness coaches.

In a recent article, they report that there is “a broader shift within the health-care industry toward keeping people well instead of simply treating them when they’re sick.” And that “although wellness coaching is a relatively new field, some recent research suggests that it does work—at least in the short term.”

2. You’re more likely to accomplish goals when you have guidance and accountability.
Whether it is having trouble addressing your cravings, finding the motivation to keep up with your fitness routine, or getting inspired to be more creative in the kitchen, a Health Coach can help you establish the structure you need to make progress toward your goals. Regular check-ins with a Health Coach will help you feel accountable for the health decisions you make in a way that is motivating and encouraging.

3. You want to improve your diet and lifestyle but you’re not sure where to begin.
One day you’re vegan, the next day you’re paleo, and the day after that you’re sure that Mediterranean is the way to go. Sound familiar? A Health Coach can help you take the pressure off perfection and simply take things one step at a time.

4. You’re tired of dieting, deprivation, and the frustration that comes with trying to lose weight.

If you’ve tried every diet under the sun and are fed up with feeling discouraged, a Health Coach will help you reconnect with your primary goals and what’s preventing you from achieving them. Health isn’t just about nutrition – in fact, weight loss comes with a variety of lifestyle related challenges that a Health Coach can help you safely address so you can shed the weight for good.

5. You want to become a more positive health influence on the people around you.
Your first priority should be to establish healthy habits for yourself, and through that process you will inevitably become a positive role model for the people around you. A Health Coach can help you refine your own health and through that process, provide you with ways to inspire others along your journey, whether it’s your family, your community, or those whose lives you touch through your work.

6. You’re looking for a more personal approach to health from a caring individual who has your best interest at heart.
If you’ve exhausted the Internet and find yourself overwhelmed with all the information out there and are unsure where to begin your wellness journey, a Health Coach is definitely for you. They will help you create a personalized roadmap to health that prioritizes simple methods that will support you to find lasting health and happiness.

Habits vs Actions

An amazing article, posted below this paragraph, in the latest newsletter from Faithful Workouts causes me to clean out my junk. This week I have been doing some refreshing in my business, my marketing, my life, and my mind. It is becoming simply empowering once again. Let this be your story today. Contact me if you need an accountability partner. I am here for you. Jeana

The above verse calls us to transform our lives, which is deeply connected to the routines and practices we embrace each day. I know that daily routines can sometimes seem mundane or insignificant, but they hold great power in shaping who we are. 

Just as habits shape our physical health, spiritual routines shape our spiritual health. I can say from personal experience that a routine involving prayer, Bible study, and reflection gradually transforms us into people who reflect Christ’s character. Whether we’re commuting to work, preparing meals, or spending time with loved ones, each moment holds the potential for spiritual growth and connection with God.

Consider the simple act of waking up each morning. Rather than rushing into the day’s demands, try starting with a moment of gratitude and prayer. This small act can set a tone of peace and purpose for the entire day. Similarly, approaching our work with positivity reflects our commitment to honoring God in all we do.

Let’s embrace routine not as a mere sequence of tasks, but as a series of moments where we can encounter and reflect God’s love.

special needs babies

Infant massage can be very helpful for babies who have experienced challenges in their lives. It is a wonderful way to strengthen the communication between parents and their children.

Massage therapy may help young children with DS improve their muscle tone, motor development, and visual function. It also helps to boost brain development by increasing blood flow and muscle activity.

Your IAIM Infant Massage Instructor will be able to guide you as you massage your baby. You and your baby are welcome in IAIM infant massage classes.

“As a parent of a 24 year old son with Down syndrome who had infantile spasms (bad seizure disorder) as a baby, I can attest to how infant massage helped to engage him and enliven him while he was “zonked out” on heavy seizure meds (depakene and klonipin). They also made him blow up like a balloon and lose his hair. It was awful.  However, with infant massage and brushing techniques that we incorporated as part of his daily regimen,  it helped to enliven him so that he could continue to cognitively learn and develop throughout this difficult period.  It also helped me to counter the negative experience of having to inject him in his little chubby thighs with seizure meds throughout the day.  He fortunately overcame the seizure disorder and went on to do just fine.  I’m a first-hand believer!” – Agency Director of Family Support

What parents think of Infant massage workshops

“As my children grew up, I looked for those quiet moments when they really appreciated a massage. Sometimes it was when we all snuggled up in bed. Sometimes it was when I was visiting with a friend and a child found my lap was free and crawled in for a rubdown. Or after a bath. Or when they were sick. My youngest, who is now 19, still likes me to give her a massage. And sometimes she gives me one, too.”

A MOTHER

FROM UNITED STATES

“My twins are typical toddlers in lots of ways, but there really haven’t been any out of control fits or screaming or anything like that, and they’re both pretty centred for the most part. I give massage most of the credit for that”

I have a workshop for you! READ about what I have to offer. Contact me to set up to learn.

HEALTH AND HEALING WORKSHOP

What is health to you?

what is healing to you?

What is your definition of the health condition and healing action?

Have you thought of “well-being”? This is a term not considered much.

Do you know what true joy is? Is your finances, career, social life, physical fitness, cooking, home environment, and relationships accounted for in your health and well-being?

The subjects no so common in a health course are: Creation, Before the womb, in the womb, primary food, secondary food, core gut physical health, core gut spiritual health. I have a course for this. The healing is amazing when we put all this together and know we have the power created within us, the knowledge created within us, and the empowerment to see it one on one. You can take this journey. You know more than you think you do.

Goals include: walking away with confidence, authority, and will to mend, heal, prevent, prepare, treat, research and utilize all options. You will question and prove all things. You will understand what medicine is.

GROUNDED

Are You Grounded?

Our culture would have you believe you are defined by your looks, weight, bank accounts or by what you do. That’s not what God says defines you.

Sign up for this FREE series. Become GROUNDED in your God given identity.

I have personally had to ground myself many times in my life. I have written a book to show a time of my greatest grounding experience. I believe it is a constant process to reset, reprogram, and reboot. The Word of the bible had 66 books to give us guidance and instruction on in this important task. Let the Spirit lead you to the best awakening in your life.

Stress and Anxiety

25,000 genes at conception

These genes multiply to trillions upon trillions as organs grow and humans develop.

Genes: 65% are the same as a banana, 75% are the same as a fruit fly, 80% are the same as a mouse, 99% are the same as a chimpanzee. We are human, not animal. We have a percent that is only human, setting us apart from all life forms.

96% of all elements in the body are Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. 4 % are all the other elements. All are important blocks to our body.

What does this have to do with stress and anxiety? Before our birth (constitution), our conception day, while we are in the womb, our birth, place of birth, and after birth (condition) play a part in our daily lives. Stress and anxiety can be from imbalances of elements, trauma, circumstances, food, environment, and more.

Everything that occurs in our lives is embedded in our fascia; imprints of trauma in life never go away, but it can be turned around/changed.

Join us as we take on this huge subject, break it down into intricate parts, and tune into bio individuality.

Live Stream, Rumble, each Thursday at 10 am. It will be recorded as well. WE will be in the series of stress and anxiety for the next 6 weeks or more. Series episodes will include: nutritional influences in connection to emotional eating, dehydration, maternal caregivers and general caregivers, navigating relationships, and physical manifestations such as allergic reactions, panic attacks, and mood disorders.

jazz it up with PAZAZ !

Did you also know that dancing is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s?! Dancing requires your brain to work harder to master the steps, it also involves cross body movements and elevates your heart rate so not only are you giving your body a great workout but your brain too! If you want to keep your brain sharp you should PAZAZ regularly.

If you are new to Faithful Workouts, PAZAZ may be a new term for you. It’s a fun name for our cardio/dance style workouts. This style of workout is such a fun way to exercise, plus they help women improve their heart health, reduce anxiety and depression while promoting better sleep.      Here’s another fun fact for you: PAZAZ comes from the Hebrew word David used in the Bible to describe dancing with joy for all that the Lord had done as he was leading the ark into Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:16).   We offer a variety of styles of cardio so if you haven’t tried PAZAZ you are in for a real treat! You will love this workout filmed in Costa Rica.

Get out of your head

“What if, instead of spending our energy trying to fix the symptoms, we went to the root of the problem? The reality is that our emotions are a byproduct of the way we think. What’s good about this news is that we can change our thinking.”

As I read that quote from a bible devotional, and thought of what that means, I began to get back to the meaning of my callings in Life. I had lost a little bit of the passion that grew this business this past year. I had been so busy taking care of the business as it has blossomed, that I lost a tiny portion of the initial seed that sprouted. (I am a gardener and I cannot help but speak in gardening terms).

Scripture is bringing me back to that seed core. This statement is bringing me back to that intention for each and every interaction, from clients to marketing, that I have invested into this amazing work: “God, help me break the cycle of my out-of-control thoughts. I want Your truths to invade every decision, every emotion, every thought I have. Amen.

I truly care about you.
