Mold Illness Resources
Mold Illness Blog Series
This increasingly common and often hidden toxin has been underestimated for far too long and has been relegated to a mere nuisance for those with overt allergies or sensitivities. But mold lurking in the basement, behind wallpaper and baseboards, in AC ducts, and under carpets may be wreaking more havoc on your health than you realize.
From my diagnosis of mold illness in 2014, back to my history of exposure and mounting symptoms decades before, to our home mold clean-up and restoration of my health, this series will help you make sense of the chaos you are likely encountering.
Somatic Healing
Learning to feel it all—the sensations of the body and the difficult emotions we often resist—is the key to balance and calm. A calm body is most conducive to innate natural healing. This may seem counterintuitive, but viewing our body as our ally and teacher instead of our enemy and problem to be solved is at the root of our ability to heal.
This is known as somatics, i.e. focusing on the body and how sensations and emotions are perceived from within. I work with clients to help them balance their nervous systems and perceive their bodies in ways they may never have before. This was my key to healing.
Medical Support + Information
Dietary changes, supplements, and the medicinal approach of the Shoemaker protocol all helped me heal from CIRS. While I believe that the actual root of illness goes beyond the physiology of the gut (functional medicine) and lies in the “soma”—the emotions and sensations we are able to perceive and transform from within—these external aids can go a long way in supporting the body’s journey to vibrancy.
