My quest for long-term physical healing and relief was spurred by a culmination of ailments over time, but officially began when I was diagnosed with a heart disease called ARVD. This is a slight malformation of the right ventricle usually born with and undetected until a massive heart attack. This period of time was a challenge for me as I had always been pretty healthy up until this point. I had just retired, so stress was less. Suddenly, walking to the mailbox without stopping to catch my breath became a feat in itself. My heart raced constantly, and my blood pressure skyrocketed and within two weeks from diagnosis, I received heart surgery, a pacemaker and two defibrillators. Emotionally, I was in shock. It didn’t make sense. Mentally, I had no time to absorb the physicality of what was happening, and it took me about a full year to recover as my body adjusted to the changes. After my adjustment and recovery to the new heart devices, I experienced my health deteriorating with symptoms like remembering things, joint pain and mobility pain, headaches, which increased in ferocity and frequency while leaving doctors stumped as to what could be the cause. At the same time, normal daily activities previously taken for granted were taken with caution. As if that wasn’t enough, I soon developed swelling in my right foot, causing severe nerve pain which suggested a blood clot, however, this suspicion was eventually shot down after testing and proof that there was none. The new foot swelling was now almost double the size and joint pain was unbearable at times with my walking greatly impaired as the result. I thought that I might need a cane or special shoes to assist if this did not subside. I was in fear and it became clear to me that my mind and body still were not fully cooperating with one another. After going to a number of specialists who could not find the root cause, I felt a little lost. I had a yearly appointment with my integrative doctor and it was at this appointment, she recommended a Lymes Test. The results were profoundly high and I began the treatment for Lymes. My levels were very high, which is why my foot was swelling so much, they were attacking my foot. I was put on a strict medication protocol and high dose nutrients to support my vital organs. There were numerous side effects I was experiencing and functioning daily became challenging to say the least. I slept constantly, took salt baths daily for joint pain, had nausea and had continual migraine headaches as I tried to get better. About three weeks into treatment, I came down with COVID in the middle treatment, which turned into Long Haul COVID for 12 weeks, as my immune system was extremely weak from Lymes Disease. One evening, while I was sleeping, I woke up feeling like I couldn’t breathe and I felt I was nearing the end. At that moment, I had a supernatural experience that left me forever changed. Throughout this experience, I thought about my children, my beautiful grandchildren and all the things I wanted to see them through. And even though I seemed in dire straits in that moment, I decided that I was not going to die, and I said to the mist that brought those thoughts, “I am not ready to go, and I will get better.” I made a very conscious decision that night. I was not finished on this earth, and it took some pretty life-altering experiences, including the death of my son, to understand that sometimes, in our darkest moments, life is not over, it is only beginning. I recognized that though I was very ill and not looking good for the future, my journey was not finished.
The power of the human spirit is unstoppable and my personal experiences have only solidified that knowledge for me. Eventually, as I delved further into self-healing, I began to explore meditation, prayer and alternative healing modalities like the EESystem, believing strongly that I had what I needed inside of me to heal completely. It became clear to me I had to relearn me! All the things I was taught seemed to not have any value now to me. I wanted real truth and went on my journey to wellness finding new kinds of modalities and reading all types of theories, studies and spiritual books I could absorb. It was an honest observation time for me. It all led me to my healing.
It took me 6 to 9 months to heal my body from Lymes, living through torrents of side effects while ridding my body of all the parasites that were killing me, slowly. I made a decision to make a mental shift in my life. I felt a deep connection to the Universe/God or whatever your higher power might be for you, but I felt a deeper connection to Him. Over time, I researched more, read more and continued learning, loving differently and taking risk. I changed my diet, my practices, my relationships, and for the first time started loving me. I listened to my gut and tuned out noise that often influenced me in the past. I began meditating, which was my first lifeline. Meditation healed me from high blood pressure while learning so much about myself spiritually. I read everything I ate, looked up the ingredients, slept more, started art projects and even traveled to painting workshops around the area I lived down to Florida. All of my experiences, even the terrible ones, were vital in my journey to wellness. I continued rewiring my mind with positive intentions and vibrations, eliminating negative thoughts and furthering growth and restoration. I left no room for negativity. It became clear to me that my healing was not just for me, but for me to tell this story to bring others to healing. I learned I could heal myself and there were technologies, remedies and complimentary modalities that were available. The EESystem thrusted me forward in my healing and healed my foot. After a 13 hour overnight, my foot was healed and the swelling went completely down so walking was no longer painful. It became apparent to me that I was healing from the inside out and at that point weaned myself off 2 types of high blood pressure medicine, two types of heart medicine and Hypothyroid medication. My body gradually changed. After three months, it seemed as though I was making up for lost time. My grief for my son was lifting and I had peace that he was always with me and I remembered good memories I had with him. I was prompted to continue this new wave of enlightenment and as I just so happened to receive my own health, peace and joy, it was then I decided I wanted to share the power of the EESystem and other healing modalities with people in my part of the world. I felt I was to start that in Charles Town, WV, an hour from my home, but this time I was following my gut on every bit of this new journey. I began Marigold Healing Center as a way to help others find their own healing; their own relief. I only hope for, no EXPECT life-changing results, such as I have experienced, for all of my clients, as well as a lifetime of abundant days full of love, joy and light to all. Take back what is yours and your God given right!
