When we are faced with the greatest crisis, it is a call to find all the strength within and rise above the chaos, from darkness to light.
The lessons learned through such challenging experiences are priceless and we bring a little more light into the world when we choose to share our gained experiential wisdom with the community.
We have all gone through or possibly are going through our own unique ‘Hero’s Journey’.
Here is the one that birthed S 3 V A…
Year 2009: On a cool October day in Michigan, I first learned about the term ‘Lupus’. The alarming bald patches in my scalp made me go into the doctor’s and get a biopsy. It was Discoid Lupus.
Year 2010: On a cool October day in Michigan, exact 1 year later, I learned I had Systemic Lupus. Far worse than Discoid, as this meant my body can attack any of my organs at any given time. My own immunity that was there to protect me had now turned against me! In addition to feeling fatigued along with constant joint pain, I was now extremely scared of what this meant and felt completely lost. After reading some of the dangerous side effects that the prescribed medication can cause, I opted not to take any as long as I possibly could. This made my condition worse as I was not even managing my symptoms.
Year 2011: On a lovely spring day in April, after being bedridden for months and running a 103 fever for a week, I finally gave in and took the prescribed medication, only for my greatest fear to come true! My body strongly reacted to the medicine and I had to be admitted in the ER. Like the past 6 months hadn’t been painful enough, I had a new chapter of darkness awaiting.
As a group of trained medical professionals in the hospital did all kinds of trial and error on me through the next 2, very long, months, my sensitive, already compromised body deteriorated further. I watched my life and my health slip away, as the medications were piled on. My motor skills completely shut off. I went mute. The doctors, at one point, informed my family that I might not make it (as in I might die!). Under conventional medical care, my physical state kept getting worse but I fought, as hard and as much as I could, to survive. Seeing how I was deteriorating by the day, I pleaded multiple times to be released but I continued to be kept in the hospital. At the time I didn’t know how but I KNEW in order to be healthy again, I HAD to get out alive so I can take matters in my own hands and reclaim my health.
Year 2011: On a lovely summer day in June, Thanks to the guidance from my brother, I managed to get out of the hospital. And that is when My HEALING Journey began…
Year 2011: I had started reading during countless hours (2 months) in bed in the hospital and empowering myself through education. I knew that all these medications they had me on was further suppressing my Immune system and they are further hurting my health long term!
Year 2012: I gradually distanced myself from the conventional ways and started a holistic approach to healing, making Lifestyle modifications (Detoxifying + High Nutritional Density foods, Yoga for movement + Meditation for the mind).
Year 2013-2014: I realized that healing goes deeper than just attending to the basics and continued attending to emotional traumas and mental wounds. I was driven to attain the goal of getting off ALL Meds and have normal blood markers. This goal was attained in 2 years.
Year 2015: Then the goal was to build resiliency into my body so I don’t have to stay on a strict Lifestyle regimen (diet, etc) and I can be a normal, healthy being that can do whatever she wants, without any restrictions due to health. This goal was attained in 2015 🙂
And I have been a HEALTHY, HAPPY Being since! No meds, No symptoms, My energy returned and I can do 5-10 mile hikes and have full, active days without any issue! There has been no turning back since 🙂
Year 2015: Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to become a doctor. Although I was discouraged to go to medical school by my father, leading me to a career in Information Technology, Life has a funny way of bringing you back to your heart’s calling. Once I had completely regained my health, I started my journey back to that of serving my soul’s purpose.
Year 2016-2019: Even though I had become highly educated through all the research I had done, and had priceless experiential wisdom to go along with it, I felt like gaining some additional knowledge would be helpful, if I am to excel in serving others. A year of learning and I had now become a Certified Holistic Healing Practitioner (IIN). I continued learning and becoming more attuned with the innate wisdom as well as acquiring greater understanding of the science behind Total Well-Being.
Year 2020: As the pandemic was introduced into our world, making those suffering with autoimmune condition most vulnerable, I knew it was my time to Serve! By now, I had gathered so much invaluable knowledge to share that can help everyone reclaim their health, just like I did, that I couldn’t afford to wait any longer.
S 3 V A: A highly curated system of healing practices and modalities that anyone can learn and apply to, not only reclaim their health back, but also awaken the doctor within themselves.
We believe we are all natural healers.
Our goal here at S 3 V A is twofold.
It would be truly our honor to help you ‘Awaken The Doctor Within’
