TRU Beauty Confessions is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: www.ecoparent.ca/podcasts About the Episode: We discuss how our personal walk and challenges set us up for the best parts of ourselves, opening the door to a new way to envision what is beautiful about ourselves and others if we choose to. The journey may be demanding and difficult at times, but it allows us the opportunity to learn about our bodies and look at our way of being in the world that we would not be able to access without a little push at times. Christina discusses 5 must haves to support your inner and outward beauty regimen that we all can incorporate without purchasing the latest product from the Shopping Channel. We touch on nutrition to supplements and favourite topicals. Guests: Christina Bigelow Natural Health, Reiki Healing, with a specialty in Pregnancy and Fertility Bio: Christina’s journey to health was not an easy road. It was through various health complications that she finally was able to develop a relationship with her own body and the world around her that worked for her. Her journey began in a toxic work environment along with a serious wake-up call that she could no longer keep doing what she was doing with a good conscious, nor could her health continue in this way, or she would be seriously debilitated at the age of 30. She pursued every avenue she could think of at the time, even though this was a limited scope. She had little success, everything she tried seemed to help only a small amount and failed to have a long-term effect. She started reading everything she could get her hands on and changed the focus of her schooling to that of holistic nutrition, even though it was the unpopular option. She realized from doing energy work, just months prior, to honour her spirit. Her life would be forever changed. It didn’t happen all at once; it took years to regain her health. She continued to attend lectures, certification programs, keeping up on research, all to bring her clients the best service that guaranteed results. She didn’t want them to have to wait like she did and be left to figure it out on their own. She started getting the best results and quickly, when she started incorporating mind, body and spirit into the protocols and recommendations she was providing to her clients. She now serves clients around the globe, all with great success. Even though she now specializes with fertility and pregnancy clients, she has worked with clients with various concerns, including cancer, diabetes, weight-loss, mental health, stress, arthritis, aging and so much more.
