Since my childhood I have been an endurance athlete dedicating years to training, competing and working hard towards achieving my goals. In my professional journey, I have spent two decades navigating the corporate world, juggling meetings, working around the clock, traveling around the globe, and not resting enough. Then with kids, I wanted to be a great mom and have a perfect family. Not giving up on anything, just piling more and more on my plate, my perfectionism, difficulty to let go or ask for help, living without support in a foreign country, meeting deadlines, never-ending to-do-lists…my life became a relentless cycle and it became more and more difficult to keep my balance.

I thought my healthy diet and regular exercise were enough to keep on going and stay physically and mentally healthy. Well, not forever. When I hit my 40s, a classic midlife awakening, my body simply began to send me signals that it deserved rest and a slower pace. I was waking up at night, my heart and mind racing, leaving me unable to sleep anymore. The following days I felt tired and worried about things I never cared much about. A painful heartburn added a layer to my well-being and quality of life. I felt constantly guilty being a bad mom and not working hard as much as I would like to. I found myself on a hormonal roller-coaster, easily irritable and prone to mood swings. Of course, all had a negative impact on my children and my relationship as well. It was no longer just about me. However, it took me a while to listen to messages from my body and how my adrenals were fatigued.

My turning point was when I was preparing for a mountain race and couldn’t get over a simple respiratory infection. I was so tired, exacerbating all symptoms and making me susceptible to further illness. I had hit a wall, losing all sense of control. I couldn’t manage it all anymore. I couldn’t continue like that. It was no longer about checking off tasks done and achieving another goal. That wasn’t living. I looked for help, tried different programs, courses and medications but those were just masking the symptoms, not going to a root cause and solving my problems. I realised that a solution was in my hands. I had to find my own way to get my health back naturally. Right then and there, my healing started. Step by step.
