my story

I just remember feeling very sleepy. All the time. I felt so sleepy that I used to stop my car on the side of road and take a 30 minute nap as I commuted to work! That's when I realized that something was wrong.

Treating external symptoms only helped for a short while.

A colleague mentioned in a meeting that he was having similar symptoms and that he was diagnosed with something called "Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia". Fibro#$#@…what? Being a techie with 10+ years of corporate experience, I resorted to a Google search. The results weren't particularly encouraging when I found out that this 'disease' has no cure.

It is only after I sought the advice of a close friend who was a lifestyle coach that I understood the cause and was able to address my issue. That is when I found out that almost all health advice available today is not personalized and is based on fads.

Which is what made me ask myself some questions about pursuing a path of helping others with wellness.

What if wellness in the 21st century is not the territory solely of people with certain degrees?
What if outsiders like me can understand wellness, take out the secrecy and complexity of this industry and take it to the masses?
What if we could do that in a way that is pointed and personalized?

Those are some extremely powerful questions for which I have sought and found answers.
