My interest in health ...
I have been studying the concept of ‘health’ for over 30 years. My interest in health and wellbeing began at an early age, due to a lack of it! I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease prior to my teenage years, and so began a long journey of doctor’s visits, hospital stays, absences from school and then work, and thwarted plans and ambitions. During all this I had a passion for cooking (when I was well enough!), and couldn’t seem to stop buying recipe books!
Fast forward many years after multiple surgeries, complications, side effects from medications and corporate burnout (not a good combination!), and I found myself drawn to study Nutrition. I was beginning to understand the connection between what I was eating and how I was feeling, and I wanted to know more!
Looking back, I can see that this was the start of my journey towards health. I learnt that we build and repair our bodies from the nutrients in the food that we eat. I learnt how to supply and nourish my body with the right quantity and form of these nutrients for greatest healing effect. And I applied everything I learnt to myself, which I still do to this day.
"Margaret suggested some easy to follow and ‘do-able’ dietary/ lifestyle changes and also introduced supplements into my daily routine. Together these changes have made a noticeable difference to my wellbeing and I’m truly delighted with the results."
My pursuit of health continued ...
Once I had my physical health more sorted with a better diet and lifestyle, I became aware that I was an acute worrier and had often flirted with depression. And I found that I could flare up Crohn's Disease very easily with stress! I also found this to be a common occurrence in others with IBD.
This finding led me to study a new method being offered in the USA called The MAP Method™ that clears and neutralises negative emotions and memories. I was able to use this method to reduce my stress, worry and anxiety and become calmer. I personally found this method to be transformative, both in terms of Crohn's Disease in particular and my overall health in general.
I now offer The MAP Method™, in conjunction with dietary support, as a means of helping others who want to experience better physical and emotional health as well.
