Hello, My name is Mercedes and it’s a pleasure meeting you. What keeps me going everyday is my love for life. I love my life, the people in it, my community and how everyday provides a new experience. I’m a very creative individual and I love expressing that with everything I do. I see how my expression keeps my soul alive and how it lights up others and its truly priceless. I appreciate life a lot because at a young age I was told that my quality of life was jeopardized and that I wouldn’t be here long but thankfully by Gods grace and living intentionally I’m still here and thriving in many ways. I’m passionate about mental, physical and spiritual health because I’ve been at a point where I felt like I wasn’t going to make it, and to feel that knowing you still have so much on the inside to give is uneasy. Sickle Cell Anemia is the diagnosis that changed my life at a young age. Its a genetic blood disorder that can cause painful crisis and lead to long hospital stays. I can say I am blessed because although I have symptoms of Sickle Cell and mild crisis from time to time: I am not addicted to medications that cloud my true nature and I don’t live a sick limited life. I changed my lifestyle because expressing what God has put inside of me is the truest thing I know. This is why I started sharing health with others. This is why I became a certified health coach. This is why I keep investing in my health and education albeit classes, healthy groceries, memberships, health inspired events, books, retreats, products, equipment and more. I want to inspire and be of service because a good quality of life matters for us all. The things we as people do in our daily lives makes all the difference and the generations to come needs our wholesomeness. What we think, do, listen to, how we breath, eat, move our bodies and treat ourselves and others matters. This retreat is more than a fun time, it will be a time for further recovery and study. I will bring back what I learn and share it to help others. Thank you for your contributions! I am so grateful and I pray the very best for you and yours. Take care!
