A Different Kind of Healing
When Long Covid affected every part of my body, I started looking for something that didn’t seem to exist: a truly holistic approach. One that didn’t just treat symptoms—but saw me as a whole person.
I wanted to feel healthy again. But more than that—I wanted to feel alive, aligned, and fulfilled.
Through the hardest parts of illness, something unexpected happened: I started becoming the version of myself I had always longed to be. Not because my symptoms disappeared—but because I learned to live from my truth, not my expectations.
According to the World Health Organization, health is:
“a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
During my illness, I was far from that definition. I slept twice as much. I couldn’t stick to my routines. I had to let go of what used to work and start again—slowly, gently, honestly.
People told me to rest. But rest alone didn’t help. So I created my own rhythm based on something I now call M.E.D.S.:
- Meditation
- Exercise
- Diet
- Sleep
These four pillars helped me slowly reconnect with my body, my mind, and my inner compass.
💫 I began meditating daily—even when brain fog made it feel impossible.
💡 I started journaling my ideas, feelings, and small victories.
📝 My notebooks became my external memory—my lifeline when thoughts were hard to hold.
🏃♀️ Exercise turned from intense workouts to mindful walks and energy pacing.
🌱 My diet shifted completely: vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free—guided by healing protocols I’ll share more about in my blog.
And yes, it was hard.
There were days I cried through detox symptoms. Days I felt like giving up. But I didn’t. I kept going—not perfectly, but with purpose.
I’ve learned that healing isn’t about going back.
It’s about growing forward. It’s about creating space for something more meaningful to rise—even through the pain.
So if you’re here and you’re in it, I see you.
Your story matters.
Your body is wise.
And your healing path, whatever it looks like, is sacred.
