Bio:

Hey there, I am Vanessa!I struggled for years with Chronic Lyme Disease, Bartonella, POTS, EBV, SIBO & Leaky Gut, Chronic Fatigue & Pain, and Parasites. At 24 yers old, I was bound to a cane, at rock bottom, and thought I was missing out on the most important years of my life. After abandoning my pastas, breads and cheeses, I realized how much food has an effect on my symptoms. This diet shift, though drastic, gave me hope for remission and changed my life. Now I am happy to say I am in remission from most of these symptoms. I continue to heal each and every day, becoming more myself through nutrition and a holistic & healthy lifestyle.

Where I once saw my illness as a curse, I can now find gratitude for the path on which it’s taken me- to  becoming a certified holistic health coach! I am so inspired to help others find their own way and I am happy to be able to guide you on your own unique journey. Emotionally and physically, because healing is a lifestyle.

A discussion on intuition with intuition expert Sunil Godse

https://www.intuitionology.com/

https://www.amazon.com/GUT-Sunil-Godse/dp/099208153X/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=gut+sunil+godse&qid=1627417614&sr=8-2

Sunil Godse Bio - When I was just 5 year old, after hearing that my father would not buy me an expensive set of video games, my intuition sent me a loud and clear signal to go door-to-door to raise money, and $200 later, got my video games.

These intuitive signals were vert strong and kept guiding me, telling me what decision I should make, and as long as I listened to them, the doors of opportunity kept opening and life was amazing.

But, as I grew, way too many people tried to shape the decisions I I needed to make that had me follow a path that I wanted.

Even though my intuition was signalling to me that I needed to let these people go, I continued to be affected by them, eventually ignoring the intuitive signals time and time again to fall into the trap of following societal norms and listening to the opinions of others who weren’t interested in my own wants and desire.

Continuing with these relationships had me start to doubt myself, continuing to ignore my intuitive signals that forced me to make one bad decision after another, with the ultimate bad decision leading to a good friend being shot and killed.

To stop this from happening to you, I created the Intuitionology project, spending thousands of hours on research and interviews to find out that it takes under 14 seconds for your intuitive signals to tell you to leave behind the relationships that hold you back from your success.

And when you do, you get back your sense of self-confidence to make the decisions that lead to success in every area of your life.

Patrick Mellen was born in Toledo, Ohio and raised in Cincinnati.  After graduation from Northwestern University with a degree in theater he followed his dreams of being an actor and moved into an upper east side apartment on September 18, 1998. He auditioned for Les Mis the next day and did not get the part. Somewhat daunted, he thought this would be easier,  Patrick continued auditioning, living, and growing into himself amidst different groups of friends, collaborators, temp jobs and, thankfully, performances. In 2006, after living, working and performing in Chicago for a year, Patrick made his Broadway debut in Lestat by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. It was a flop - but the dream he had as a 4th grader, high schooler, and college theater major had been achieved. Now what? In 2007, Patrick continued auditioning, living and growing into himself - through a variety of influences he was introduced to Chloe Wing, a teacher of the Alexander Technique. Over time, Patrick would be certified by Alexander Technique International as a Teacher of the Alexander Technique. Continuing his work with Chloe introduced Patrick to formal meditation practice, and as time has progressed Patrick sees AT and “mindfulness” as complimentary practices - the first fundament of mindfulness being body awareness and AT being, in Patrick’s opinion, the most accessible way of present moment body awareness. After Chloe’s death in 2013, Patrick found MBSR. Attending the 8-week course in NYC, and then continuing to study, practice, and attend retreats. He is currently a qualified MBSR teacher and looks forward to teaching his first 8 week course in the fall of 2019 - meanwhile he is developing a 6-week Alexander Technique/Mindfulness hybrid course available this summer at balancelab.com
