Who Cares for Caregivers?
This weekend I had the privilege of attending a conference hosted by Joshua Rosenthal, Founder of Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). As a proud graduate of IIN, almost 15 years ago now, anytime Joshua hosts a live event, I know it's going to be magical. Some of you may recall my days of health/nutrition coaching when we first opened Bronxville Wellness Sanctuary in 2011. While I still implement so much of what I learned, I am now focused on raising consciousness and empowerment through my energy healing and mentoring offerings. I like to go deep, fast and get to the root of things so we don't waste time in suffering.
Back to this weekend. The conference was intended to bring together healers to support them.
After all, who supports the ones who are caregiving to everyone else?
Caregivers are a large group. They are everyone from healers to wellness workers, therapists, nurses, doctors, and those giving to children, elders, loved ones, to name a few.
The conference coincided with Joshua's new book, Heal the Healer, A Self-care Guide for Wellness Workers & Caregivers.
As true to Joshua form, we all received healing this weekend! As always, it took many forms from meeting like minded people, building a strong community, doing chakra clearing exercises, paired sharing, dancing, massage, hearing fantastic presenters, and discussing ways to make philanthropy more a part of our lives.
My biggest takeaway: many people are tired, burnt out, and lack the tools to stay healthy, happy, and balanced.
What are the tools?
Many!
-Setting boundaries
-Overcoming childhood wounds
-Energy protection techniques & clearing
-Staying connected to community
-Work-Life balance
-Knowing your larger purpose
All of these tools help those who give so much to refill their tank. When we re-fill, we are able to give so much more and to do so with a happy, healthy, open, and loving heart.
If you know someone who could benefit from learning these tools, please share the book, and by all means share my contact with them.
I love helping people in the healing profession.
Time goes fast. Let's not waste it by suffering unnecessarily.
We got this!
