A note from Nadia:

“When I was in the midst of my recovery, all I could find were stories of fear, lack of hope, and medical doctors' articles citing I could not heal from my diagnosis. I promised myself that should I recover, I would create a site of recovery stories to show what we are capable of as human beings both individually and collectively.

I also wanted to harness the profound power of storytelling. During my recovery, I recognized the importance of putting my attention on hope, not fear. With my background in neuroscience and psychology, I began to understand the brain and body pathways involved in storytelling, in terms of how we create our own health and lives from our emotions, thoughts and experiences”

Stories are the way we make sense of the events of our lives, individually and collectively. We tell stories in order to understand what has happened to us and create meaning from those experiences that then shape our future.  

Our relationship with the story of our experiences ripples through our life: physically, mentally and emotionally. When harnessed as a tool that we understand and consciously create from, it can help us heal ourselves and integrate any fragmented parts of our story into a coherent narrative that helps us grow into a healthier future. 

The path to health is as unique as each individual you will read about. It was intentional that I gathered stories of different healing modalities in order to show there is not one path to health, there are many. 

The common thread weaving through all of these differing accounts is the ownership of our story - being the captain of our ship as we navigate life. It is the move from passenger or victim, to being in the driving seat and an empowered creator of our next chapter.  

How we relate to our story has been shown in multiple studies to help rewire the brain, nervous system and body for health. These concepts are rooted in robust research within the fields of interpersonal neurobiology and psychoneuroimmunology. So, I invite you to read through our blog articles as members of our team will contribute to this on an ongoing basis.

We will weave in modern day scientific proof of this power, with ancient practices of alchemical storytelling from multiple lineages. We have seen this blended approach of science and heart rooted healing transform many peoples' experiences of their lives.  

We hope you enjoy reading these stories of people just like us, overcoming serious challenges, and creating a new story for themselves. 

We also provide a service to help you write your own transformational story to help you create the future your deserve”
