When I started working with Christa, I was overwhelmed with life and knew I needed more calm. I had already started saying no to more things, but between menopause, Lyme disease, multiple businesses, three kids, fundraising to build a playground, creating a community for women, traveling, and taking care of cows, chickens, bees, dogs and a cat, my life is FULL. And honestly, I like it that way.
I am naturally a doer. I don't like sitting around. I don't watch TV. I'll listen to an audiobook while doing three other things. And because I am intent on ridding my body of Lyme disease, I knew calming my nervous system waaaaay down needed to be part of my healing. I went into nervous system coaching thinking Christa was going to teach me how to stop doing so much and learn to sit quietly in nature. That's not what I got, and I am so glad. When we started, Christa presented me with an empty toolbox. And session by session, she gave me new tools to put inside it.
Some are quick and easy to grab when I feel the "ick" starting to creep in. Some help me understand why I'm feeling what I'm feeling. And some allow me to go deeper when I have the time and need. By the end of our time together, that toolbox wasn't empty anymore. It's full. And the best part is that I know what's in there.
