Redefining Wellness My Way
Welcome to my inaugural blog post, where I, an emerging health coach, venture into the world of writing! It’s a surprising leap for me, but I’m excited to share insights about my health journey and unravel the secrets behind entering the realm of health coaching.
Allow me to introduce myself: I’m a 27-year-old residing in the vibrant city of San Francisco, CA, and I happen to be the youngest among three incredible sisters. Recently, I made a significant change by bidding farewell to my full-time tech job to pursue my passion for health coaching. Once an avid spin instructor and busy product manager, I've now transitioned into a thriving Functional Health Coach and business owner!
My journey started in 2018, triggered by witnessing my oldest sister’s fertility challenges and my other sister’s overall health challenges. Learning from their experiences was a significant catalyst for me. Simultaneously, I was navigating my own hormonal and gut irregularities. Sharing with my sisters became a ritual and safe space for us.
During one of these conversations, a thought struck me, "Something does not feel right." The notion of using medication to suppress something so natural made me pause. In that moment, without a plan, I bid farewell to hormonal birth control, sending me on an unexpected journey.
Now, a gentle word of caution: Learn from my bold "rip off the Band-Aid" approach. My body experienced a whirlwind of symptoms and irregularities because I did not have a proper plan! Coupled with intense workouts, late-night escapades, and erratic eating habits, it was quite the chaotic mix.
Nevertheless, amidst chaos comes growth, right? This rollercoaster marked the genesis of my health journey, guiding me towards increased body awareness, lifestyle adjustments, respecting my menstrual cycle, and ultimately, finding my calling in health coaching.
So, what can you expect in these blog posts? Get ready for an engaging ride—personal stories, insights into my journey to becoming a health coach, lessons gleaned from coaching experiences, practical tips to elevate your wellness journey, and much more!
By the way, my unorthodox approach to birth control? Not a playbook for you! I'm here to guide you with valuable resources, preparing you for a potentially transformative health journey ahead.
Got questions? Reach out! I’ll be addressing them via Instagram or dedicating blog posts to cater to your queries. Ready to embark on this adventure? Let’s journey towards better health together!
With love and support,
Isabella
