“Chi-Elements, your complete solution for balancing mind, body, spirit and environment”
About Us
I founded Chi-Elements with the primary goal of incorporating as many elements as possible in helping people live healthy and productive lives.
I would say that I have been making the philosophy of Chi-Elements a reality in my life probably since the age of 13. After making a bet with a friend to see who could stay without eating meat the longest, I became a vegetarian (and yes, I won the bet!) and developed an insatiable curiosity for all things related to physical, emotional and environmental health.
The first big change in my life was with nutrition. I started reading up on the latest developments and applying the principles that made sense to my daily eating such as food combination, and paying particular attention to the quality of my food. I have also always been a very active person, playing all types of sports in school, and later progressing to dance, Yoga and Pilates. With regards to the environment, while I wouldn't exactly call myself a “tree-hugger” I do try to be in tune with living in harmony with nature and respecting the earth.
When it came to emotional health, my first introduction to self-help books came from my mom, an avid reader of Joseph Murphy. My first book in this genre was “The power of the subconscious mind”, which led me to embark on a reading trail of books that enforced the message that we were directly responsible for our successes in life and that if we wanted something it could be achieved as long as we believed it, integrated it, and did the necessary work to get to it. All this provided a solid grounding for what would later help me determine my path in life.
After gaining a B.A. from Davidson College, I went on to acquire an M.A. in Educational Psychology. After a few years in the corporate world, I decided to pursue my dream and formally study the disciplines that have been such an integral part of my life. Now I hold practitioner diplomas in Feng Shui (accredited by the Feng Shui Society), Space Clearing, NLP/Hypnotherapy (accredited by the British Institute of Hypnotherapy), Life Coaching, Natural Medicine, Yoga (in the Viniyoga Tradition of T.K.V. Desikachar), Pilates (Classical Training) and Baby Developmental Massage (certified in Peter Walker's method).
I am fully committed to helping change the life of anyone who truly wants it. I hope you will find this site informative, and that it will serve as that little push you need to start transforming your life today!
