Why Discovering Balance?
I never shy away from the fact I too have suffered from a wide range of health concerns myself due to years of fad "yoyo dieting", obsessive eating habits, binge drinking alcohol from Thursday to Sunday and negative self talk.
I grew up in an environment where I was taught to ignore my feelings and I always found it hard to get the right support.
I have always been the "go to" person for support in all of my friends groups and feel blessed given people feel comfortable confiding in me, whether friends, family or strangers.
It was because of this, paired with the fact I did have a lack of emotional support growing up that helped me to realise I wanted to work in an industry where I could use these strengths to my advantage and help others just like myself.
I named my business Discovering Balance because only through finding middle grounds and sustainable lifestyle choices that could be implemented long term and NOT through my restrictive and yoyo dieting, alcoholism and other substance use did I finally feel ready to empower others to do the same.. because TOO MUCH OF ANYTHING IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA!
