Do Any Of These Statements Describe You? If So, Shines From Within Is Right For You!

  • Feeling young, keeping my mind sharp, and being full of energy by giving my body the nutrients it needs is important to me, but I’m not sure where to start.
  • I’m in a fashion rut. I would like to up my fashion game by buying a few trendy but affordable pieces each season to update the staple wardrobe pieces I already own.
  • I waste hundreds of dollars each year on beauty products and procedures that don’t work. I would like to know about products with scientific studies behind them that will actually increase my glow and improve my skin.

What to Expect at Shines From Within

I started Shines From WIthin for people, like me, who enjoy learning about all the ways to increase your inner glow – through a healthy lifestyle, smart fashion choices, and beauty products and procedures.

I research and try everything out there. Then, I give you my honest opinions so that you don’t have to waste your time and money on things that don’t work.

I talk about products that I actually own or techniques that I do to increase my “inner shine.”

My Story – The Early Days

I used to have a job in Leadership Development and Succession Planning at a Fortune 500 company. After many years of climbing the corporate ladder, my husband and I decided to start a family.

Being a mom brought me unspeakable joy! That is, until our daughter became chronically ill at age two.

There is nothing worse than seeing your child in constant pain and not being able to help. My life became consumed with seeking medical treatments. But traditional medicine did not help my daughter get better. I am not knocking it as I know western medicine saves countless lives. But it did not work for my family.

It was during this time of struggle and heartbreak that I started exploring natural healing methods. This lead us to change our entire way of living. Detoxifying our home and bodies became a top priority. We purified the water we drink, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. Supplements, homeopathic remedies, and essential oils became part of our daily life.

My Story – Where I Am Now

Through alternative medicine and the grace of God, my daughter was healed by the time she turned eight years old. I am so blessed to say that she is living a happy, healthy and vibrant life today! God has big plans for her life, of this I am sure.

I am thankful for going through that dark time for many reasons. But one reason is that what I learned (and keep learning) didn’t just help my chronically ill child. It helped my husband and I with health issues we didn’t even know we had (or were ignoring)! It taught me so much that I am now applying to my life as a woman who wants to look and more importantly, feel young. It also enabled me to help friends and family improve their health.

I wanted to learn even more about health so that I could have more confidence sharing what I’ve learned with friends and family. That’s why I became a certified Health Coach. I can’t diagnose, treat, or cure disease by I can educate others about improving their health and well-being and that’s what this blog is about.

I can’t wait to share my lessons learned with you and to hear your tips as well! So comment on my posts with what’s worked for you and any questions you may have. And please, consider subscribing to Shines From Within.

Thank you!
