Greetings!
2012 was a year of many changes for me, both personally and professionally. I've known many of you for some time, and I realize I may have just disappeared without explanation. I apologize for the sudden vanishing act. I want to update you on what's been happening and the new developments in my life.
At the beginning of 2012, I realized it was time for change. I had moved to Maryland to pursue a relationship with a beautiful man, but I was never comfortable in Maryland, and I was never able to settle in. Though business was great there and I love the clients and associates I worked with, the personal life just never clicked.
So after 6+ years of trying to make it work and a lot of soul searching and sometimes painful deliberation, I finally decided to move on. I thought I'd move back to Texas or maybe back to California, but each time I sat at the computer to house-hunt, a strong voice came in telling me to go to Florida.
Why Florida? I had no clue. After arguing with the voices for a bit, I finally pulled up a map of the state and asked where. Now here I am in lovely Stuart, Florida!!
I absolutely LOVE Stuart, Florida. I feel so at home here. I've met some wonderful people, and I feel like I've been here all my life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
At the request of my then partner, I did not put the word out about our separation and my move right away. I quietly let the clients I had been working with regularly know where I was heading, and I offered an opportunity for us to continue working together through distance healing sessions - by phone.
Several of you took me up on the phone healing offer, and it's been WONDERFUL - for each of us. The sessions have been quite powerful and transformative. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Working with regular clients in this way - and picking up a few new ones - has allowed me to pursue a long-term goal that I frankly just hadn't had the time for with a busy practice in Maryland. I had been offering colon hydrotherapy, healing massage and spiritual healing, but offering each separately and independently. However, I knew that so many gut issues that brought people in for colon hydrotherapy were really in need of healing for the stress and emotions that reside in the "soft vulnerable underbelly."
I felt strongly - and still do - that offering the combination of (1) healing for the gut and (2) natural, holistic self-care tips to support a healthful lifestyle would be much more powerful than any of the individual offerings. I have also felt that there was a way - and a need - to reach more people with this information than I could see one-on-one in a practice. This is an amazingly widespread issue!!
So with the move to Florida, this long-term goal is becoming a reality. I've been working with a pilot group to develop programs to teach self-healing for the stress and emotions that affect eating and digestive functioning along with self-care practices to promote living a healthful, healing, cleansing lifestyle. Along with the program development, I've been working on a website to support the delivery of the programs and to provide a home for a new community to gather for support and healing.
The website is near ready to launch - down to a punch list - but of course the final pieces feel like they are taking forever. God willing I will open the new site by the end of this month!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! - to the pilot group, the web developers and to the Universe!!
With the new site, I'll be offering a free ebook titled "Unlocking the Hidden Messages Behind Stress and Digestion." With this book, I hope to shed some light on the many ways in which stress - both chronic and acute - affects the way your body processes your foods - including your choices, ingestion, assimilation and elimination.
Along with the ebook, you'll also receive a guided meditation exercise to help you discover places in your body where you hold stress and emotional patterns and begin to bring the healing energies to those places. This will allow you to free up your body and digestive system from the effects of emotional processing so it can begin to heal itself and take better care of your physical needs.
Please stay tuned for the availability of the new site, the ebook/meditation and the upcoming programs. Programs - including "I Love My Guts", "Healthfully Living", "Harness Your Hunger", "Food Gratitude" and "Group Cleansing Support" - will be offered by tele-course and in person at my office in Stuart.
Meanwhile I'm still offering the healing sessions - distance and in person. So if you're ready to get started, please contact me for individual and small group support.
I'm looking forward to connecting with you in this very special way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Have a Joyful Day!
Debra Graugnard
