Hi my name is Kristie and I would love to tell you more about my story. After landing my dream job as an air hostess for the world renown Virgin Atlantic, I thought I had hit the jackpot. Little did I I know that a couple of years later my world would have been turned upside down after being diagnosed with chronic migraines. I lost the job I so deeply loved and my world came crashing down. After trying every form of conventional medicine possible to cure my migraines, including botox, medication, nerve blocks and so much more, I was told by doctors that there was nothing more that they could do for me. I was told I would just have to live with the condition and learn to manage the pain. There was no way that I was going to accept this so I decided that enough was enough and this is when I began my journey to holistically heal myself. I read countless books, learned to meditate and visualise a healthy future for myself, re-evaluated my beliefs around healing, taught myself about nutrition and how to use food as medicine, learned about the law of attraction and simply tried to find more balance in my life in order to let my body heal naturally. Through patience, a positive mindset and the courage to step outside of my comfort zone I am now pleased to say that I am now over 1 year migraine free. Along this journey, I found that it ignited a passion inside of me to help others do the same and heal themselves. I want to inspire others that may be suffering and were in the same terrible situation that I was, that healing IS possible, and the key to this is firstly believing that it is possible. I want to share my story with others in hope that it inspires them to keep fighting and look within themselves for the answers. As a result of my past experience and new passion, I qualified as a health coach at The Insititute of Integrative Nutrition and am working on a very exciting project to help other migraine sufferers break free.
