Introduction & My Why

Hi Everyone - I'm Sarada - 55 years old, married with two cats and two dog kids. I love exploring, meeting new people, and laughing with family and friends. I'm a former veterinary tech turned marriage family therapist, and currently a program manager at a local non-profit (in Napa California) for program that treats psychosis.

I was initially motivated to change my lifestyle and diet in order to heal my physical body following a head on collision with a drunk driver (that crushed my feet). Prior to the accident I had gained a significant amount of weight during perimenopause and a period of life that was particularly stressful and painful. I had developed severe sleep apnea, chronic IBS, migraines, type 2 diabetes, and a host of other things. I was having difficulty organizing my thoughts and focusing at work. I was embarrassed by my weight and started to avoid even the people I loved the most. I felt less and less like myself each day. Like so many of us, I had tried most every possible thing to heal, lose weight, and return to myself. I hit rock bottom a year and a half ago with two clear choices, take the path of progressive illness OR choose to love and care for myself in the ways I knew I truly needed. I’ve made real progress since i picked my path, but I still have much more to accomplish. I welcome community, I welcome advice and guidance, I welcome healing and spiritual growth.
