Living a double life may sound intriguing, but in my case, it’s more about being a workaholic and perfectionist.
For over 20 years, I’ve navigated various roles in software design, from designer to recruiter, alongside owning a flourishing Pilates studio. My passion for the body, how it works, how it moves and helping people to get out of pain truly was my calling.
Despite external success, I grappled with a relentless pursuit of perfectionism, recognition, and achievement, leading to two divorces, two burnouts, ongoing anxiety, compounded by other unresolved traumas. While my clients were getting better my pain presented itself by relentless migraines and constant insomnia.
In my continued search of healing, I explored about every possible self-help methodology including help for my migraines. You name it – I have done it! Meditation, yoga, taking every medication there is, going to Acupuncture, neurology appointments after appointments, courses, seminars, books, therapy – I DID IT ALL!
Fast forward many years and I stumbled upon a life-changing podcast on Neuro-Somatic Intelligence. Through this approach, I learned to align my mind and nervous system and rewire my brain which lead to remarkable results: my migraines vanished within months, and I gained tools to manage any recurrence.
And true, while I am still recovering from perfectionism, I’ve learned to navigate my inputs to prevent them from becoming overwhelming.
Most importantly, I’ve discovered a new level of connection with my clients, leveraging trauma-informed practices to unearth subconscious beliefs and facilitate positive behavioral changes to help them along in their journey.
So today I am happy to say: Hello Nervous System, nice to meet you!
Here’s hoping you can do the same, too!
xo, V.
