MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
Hi, I’m Rachelle Davis, and I am a certified holistic health coach with a BS in Health Science and someone who once suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have always had an interest in healing through food and natural remedies. So, when I discovered that I was chronically ill, it only made sense to take the principles and concepts of nutrition I had learned and apply them to my own life.
Thankfully, through my personal experiences with chronic fatigue syndrome, I have discovered how invaluable good health is. This is my journey and experiences that led me to become a health coach. After contracting overseas for several years, I returned home at the end of 2013. I planned to heal myself before getting back into the workforce, prioritizing rest and exercise.
However, what started as a seemingly ordinary transition turned into a battle with unrecognized symptoms. Despite eating healthy and exercising, I faced:
- Persistent fatigue, even after plenty of rest.
- Unexplained weight gain despite healthy dietary choices.
- Difficulty falling asleep, waking up at 3 am, and unfulfilling sleep.
These challenges were further compounded by:
- Severe energy crashes 20 minutes after consuming sugar, requiring naps.
- Early morning wake-ups and unfulfilling sleep, despite exhaustion.
- My attempt to exercise only resulted in injuries.
A doctor’s visit revealed another unexpected symptom: high blood pressure – a first for me.
Refusing medications, I later discovered that treating one symptom is insufficient for chronic fatigue. It’s about understanding how symptoms affect each other and treating the whole person. This realization fueled my passion for holistic health and eventually led me to become a health coach.
Instead of accepting conventional medical solutions, I channeled my unwavering conviction and immersed myself in the world of holistic health. It was a challenging yet rewarding journey of self-discovery, fuelled by my passion for healthy living and fueled by the vast pool of knowledge I gleaned from relentless research. This unwavering dedication led me to uncover a personalized healing approach that addressed the root of my symptoms and, ultimately, my recovery from chronic fatigue syndrome in 2016.
But my story doesn’t end there. The profound impact of holistic healing on my own life sparked a fire within me, igniting a desire to share this gift with others struggling with similar challenges. Having the privilege of being able to follow my passion during my recovery instead of being tied to full-time jobs like many others allowed me to delve deeper into research and personal exploration. Now, armed with the knowledge and experience I gained from my healing journey, I dedicate myself to guiding others on their paths toward optimal health and well-being. It’s truly a blessing to witness the transformations that unfold as individuals discover the power of holistic healing, just as I did.
