Behind the Inspiration
To look at us, you might think we have achieved health and happiness effortlessly.
Think again!
Behind every inspiration is a story of personal experience. Interestingly, our stories have many parallels. We both struggled with weight, depression, and chronic pain issues. It was the elements of yoga and coaching we now share with others that brought us physical wellness, mental and emotional well-being, and the lives we have now.
We have a passion for physical, mental, and emotional health because we have been where you are, whether you’re overweight, dealing with pain, overworking yourself, or just plain stressed! Though we look healthy and happy now, we both spent a great deal of time bedridden with severe chronic pain. Jess struggled with severe low-back pain that kept her immobilized, and Abigail dealt with severe pelvic pain and low-back pain. Flummoxed by this medically diagnosed incurable pain, we both sought new avenues to return to health. We both found the same answer – a new understanding of the mind-body connection. Surprisingly, this didn’t just bring health and weight loss – it brought a deep sense of well-being, a comfortable and loving relationship with our bodies and selves, and strong tools to deal with life’s ups and downs.
It’s no surprise that these discoveries led us down paths toward sharing with others. It’s hard to contain passion, and we are thrilled to be able to share with you the amazing power of yoga and coaching – not just as specific practices, but as a potent blend you won’t want to miss.
Coming soon…more about our experiences. We plan to offer short write-ups that will be available in our studio soon. We want you to know why we are doing what we’re doing, and what our personal experiences were!
Check back often to read our blog posts! We’ll be sharing information about mind-body tools, yoga, and anything we can think of to make your Healthy Life Studio experience as complete as possible.
