Meet Michelle
Dear Readers, allow me to introduce myself – to tell you a little bit about who I am, the reason I’m writing this blog and what you can expect from my posts.
My Roots
I am a Caribbean woman, born in Trinidad & Tobago and affectionately referred to as a “Trini.” Trinidad was a great place to spend my early childhood days and it’s still one of my favorite places to visit and to reconnect. I guess Trinidad seems more like home to me than anywhere else in this world, although I lived in Canada for 20 years and in Jamaica for 3.
The United States is home now. My husband, daughter and our dog Bugger live in the mountains in upstate NY. Moving here was an adjustment of epic proportions….aah, the things we do for love! All the same, it’s beautiful country even though the weather sucks.
I’ve had many careers in my life. I started off in banking but that proved too staid and male oriented for my personality. I veered off into Customer Service and Operations Management which was much more to my liking but I always felt that something was missing. That “something” was passion.
About a year ago I became involved with a community of women know as Team Northrup. I guess you could say that we are disciples of Dr. Christiane Northrup, a wise and gracious woman with a feisty spirit and a passion for sharing her knowledge and experience. After meeting Dr. Northrup and reading some of her books I became a certified health and wellness junkie. At last, I had found my passion!
Because of my own struggle with weight – this particular area naturally became my focus. This led to many other discoveries about living a healthy life. I figured that the best way to reach out and to share with other women was to create this woman’s guide to total health and wellness.
My Passion
I believe that deep down at some level we all want to live a healthy life. We all want to look good and feel good. We want to thrive!
My passion is to share with you all the information that I have learned along the way. What I can say without a shadow of a doubt is that there seems to be a conspiracy to keep us in a place that is not optimal wellness.
So tune in and lend an ear. Total health is a journey and I hope you will hop on board with me for what promises to be an informative, illuminating and fun ride.
