Diana Rising
Hello, friend! I'm Diana, a certified Mind & Body Coach. I would love to help you achieve the body and life satisfaction you desire. You will find long-term success with habits geared to help your body AND brain.
My interest in a mind/body approach to calming my nervous system came after my third baby, who was delivered by cesarian section because she was breach. After the surgery I experienced a cascade of seemingly unconnected health problems, though they all turned out to be characterized by auto-immunity and nervousness. I was diagnosed with anxiety-induced Irritable Bowl Syndrome (IBS), among other things.
I began to read about healing from the inside out--making food & lifestyle changes that could put chronic illness, including IBS, into remission. Thrilled with this concept, I have since read many books, listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts, and have worked with medically-trained functional and integrative doctors to heal. The doctors have done well, helping me bring my blood markers up to an optimal level. I continue to work with them to maintain optimum health, but while still struggling with IBS flares, I realized my mind was not calm.
Supporting the body with nutritious food, movement, and sleep is key to maintaining good health. But even with those things locked in, I began to see just how powerful our brains can be in the success of our physical healing. There is no separation between the brain and body--between thoughts and physical systems; everything is connected.
People who work with me to transform their minds and bodies find true contentment and joy as they progress towards their ultimate goals. I will be your guide to help you discover what works for you as you take charge of your life to become the calm person you want to be.
When I'm not actively helping others find their joy, I love spending time with family & friends, hiking, traveling, visiting gardens and art museums, meditating, reading, and watching the occasional K-drama.
