Be U: Certifications

Coming for the Real You.

I'm hoping to share thoughts, fun and insightful information and aha moments with all to better serve ourselves and the universe.

My background is that of Executive Secretary for the local Electric company (11 years).

Certified Personal Trainer (since 1991) and Fitness Consultant for my own company, Beachin Bodies (6 years) and certified in Reiki and Nutrition with training in Cranial Sacral work, Tai Chi, and Meditation. Certified as a Professional Life Coach (2015); Minister at Universal Life Church (2016);

and, possibly, most important,

my own journey through illness and avenues, roads and roadblocks that I have taken to find the real me. (35 plus years).

The me that I was born as. The me that is the all-knowing. I believe the search is endless and we are here to learn and to love and to share it all.

Certifications

I so hoped to come up with a cool way of sharing what I am certified in; trained in; have learned; and have experienced.

I don't want to feel uncomfortable sharing this as uncomfortable can come up for me when I think about ‘tooting my own horn’. [Toot. Toot.] I do know it's important to share. I do know it is the professional thing to do. I do believe sharing helps with an understanding as to who I am and what service/help I offer.

So, since & apparently, I am not cool in this, I will just share.

I will share one Certification at a time (one per post) and the benefits, classes and experiences of/from each. If you are interested, please be on the lookout. They will all be forthcoming.

Thank You.

My certifications are in:

Personal Training - because I started off as a Fitness Enthusiast

Life Coaching - because when I heard these two words together, I knew it was a 'label' that excited me and that I wanted to 'own' and it fit me

Reiki/Energy Work - because Energy has always fascinated me from working at the main then local electric company to feeling/experiencing/learning the energies of life and living

Ordained Minister - because I want to preach what I practice and hope someone [maybe You] can benefit from it.

and

Red Cross Adult CPR/AED because it is a requirement for Fitness Professionals and it is good to know.

I have spent a lot - a lot of time, energy, money, learning, studying and participating in many modalities of healing, spiritual growth, physical fitness, mind/body connection to obtain my own homeostasis, alignment with and to my best life, and the best of me that I can be. My need, curiosity, fascination, and desire is what drove me.

I've always known that this is my unique path and connecting to and helping others is my strongest calling.

I belong to ACE Fitness, IDEA Health and Fitness Association, Certified Life Coach Institute, International Coaching Federation (ICF), ICF South Florida Chapter, and Universal Life Church and I love women networking groups.

I'm currently involved in two groups called "Woman of Impact" and "CEO Priestess Academy" to help me to make real my visualization of my 'soul work'.

I have spent a lot, a lot of time, energy and money learning, studying, participating in many modalities of healing. For about 35 years, I have engaged in practices and trainings exploring and adventuring through as many modalities and classes, seminars and readings on the variety of health, fitness, healing, mind/body connection and I have delved deep and continuously.

How grateful to be so lucky as to follow my dreams, needs, desires and callings.

I so love tapping into and helping bring forth and watch others [maybe You] follow and create your best path(s).

May You tap in and follow your dreams, needs, desires and callings. Your timing; Your purpose; Your way. Whoop!

My Past Story

The first thing I would always tell a new doctor was 'my dad left me when I was 10'. He just disappeared, ran away. It was pretty awful for me. I thought it was my fault as most kids sometimes do. I thought I was unlovable. Years later, 20 maybe, I realized it wasn't just that my dad left me that affected my life, but also that my mom stayed. She stayed and I'll be forever grateful. However, her staying wasn't all peaches and creme. She was so hurt, so distraught, so frightened to raise three kids on her own and find a job that it was very hard for her to be there for me and my needs. I chose to shutdown, be quiet and try not to make it any harder on her as to not ask for much, or voice much, or need much.

Years later, in 11/12th grade, I noticed my fingers being really cold and hurting all the time. I noticed them turning purple and the pain was very 'loud'. Humorously enough, I had chosen to be a secretary and typing was a big part of my everyday. I loved it even. Fingers flying across the keyboard with as little mistakes as possible was the goal. I was pretty good at it. While in typing class, I remember putting my hands on my neck to try to warm them and make them feel better. I was naive enough then to think this must be happening to everyone.

Anyway, years went by and nobody was able to tell me why this was happening or what to do to make it better. Then, approximately 4 years later, I remember (what I felt) was little me sitting across from a really big doctor at his really big desk and him telling me I was allergic to myself. Of course, this was him describing to me what auto-immune meant. I had a disease called scleroderma and it could kill me (sometimes in as little as five years) and I would most likely be on medicine and have it for the rest of my life and there was nothing to change it.

Anyway, almost 30 years later, I've had my share of pain and I'm alive. I've had ulcerations on my fingers and I have lost most of my nails on both hands from lack of circulation and producing too much collagen. My hands are somewhat not a pretty sight and to hit something with one of my fingers by accident (well, I refer to the feeling as 'going to the moon).

When I was about 30, I started looking at alternative medicine and I tried anything that came across my path to try to stop the pain. I have tried many normal and not so normal 'ideas'. I sometimes do not believe at what lengths I went to try to ease my pain and suffering!

This is what has brought me here to this point in my life.

I'm grateful to be able to learn so much about myself and life and I wouldn't take it back (well, some days I might want to).

Something was telling me to blog. I really didn't know much about blogging - I am still a novice at best. Approximately 5 weeks ago, I sat at my computer and started typing.

I am surprised at where my blogs have led me. I thought I was trying to help others and that still is a big goal of mine. However, what I am finding out is that this is a great outlet for me.

A way to feel like I'm doing something. I told a friend this morning about my blog and I said that it's draining because I put everything out there and do not hold back as I post each individual blog; its fun because it does give me an outlet and I feel a little purpose in my life; and it's scary because I don't want anyone laughing at me or telling me that I am completely 'off my rocker'!
