Meet Meg, age 33.
My Lost and Found Wellness dreams started to manifest while I was Lost AF on a 10 day road trip through Sri Lanka. The small wonderland taught me three key lessons that transformed my life, business, and health.
1) Feeling lost is never the problem
2) The ability to connect with other people will always be the greatest measure of health
3) Movement and play are universal languages
My purpose is to connect people through movement, mindfulness, and nutrition. With over ten years experience in the health and fitness industry I wasn’t always healthy and fit. It took me nearly 30 years to get out of override mode and trust Intuition.
I dreamed of feeling confident in my skin and moving freely. I believed the more I exercised with intensity and stuck to strict diets the healthier I was going to look and feel. After several hospital visits for undergoing too much physical and digestive stress it was time to make a shift in my habits, beliefs, and environment.
I dream big! I was successful at achieving many goals but the older I got, the more responsibility and expectations piled on. I rarely said NO for fear of looking lazy or unqualified. I found myself in a cycle of being spread thin, running on autopilot, or paralyzed with options. Whether it’s emotional, social, or physical stress – when you can’t say no, your body finds a way to say it for you.
Drifting along at my job and the gym I had a hard time locating a purpose. I wasn’t sure it was something I needed but I couldn’t shake this feeling that I was meant to experience more than my 9-5 and a new pair of gym shoes. I created the opportunity to lead, inspire, and move beyond my current sphere of influence.
I’ve been lonely. Everyone seemed so far ahead of me in health, jobs, love, and retirement plans. I lived in constant stress of how to catch up and still enjoy things I love like food, wine, nature, family, friends, and travel. Making better friends with myself allowed my relationships to hold more meaning and relieve fears of falling behind.
I’ve been lost in love, careers, cities, health, wealth, and happiness. What I always find is a spirit of gratitude, a deeper connection to myself, and to the world around me. Personal responsibility and choice are at the core of what I teach and live.
Lost and Found Wellness won’t pin you to strict rules in finding your balance. It provides you with practical tools and support to create meaning out of YOUR life experiences.
The path is rarely flat and straight, but I’m on my path! Read below for more about the experiences that lead me to Lost and Found Wellness.
