READ ON…

Hi,
I am Pauline, therapist and author of
My Beauty & My Beast – Mind, Body and PMS.

And… I am first and foremost a woman who, in my late thirties, woke up one day with quite a nasty PMS symptom and all the turmoil such a suffering brought me for some months.
 
 

I spent all my young years thinking I was just lucky to have no PMS because the worst symptom I had experienced was a bit of breast tenderness some months, while other times, I was a bit more tired.

Once in a blue moon, I would feel a tad melancholic but soon after those few hours passed, all that small stuff would be over and forgotten.

Also, something I realize, now that I am in my fifties and well passed my menopause and happy to be where I am, my younger days never brought about to talk about PMS.

Nowadays, you punch that word on the net and a never ending fountain of sites pop up.

Yes, life changes and sometimes for the better and sometimes… I wonder.

Back to my story . . .

Even though it is over 15 years I healed my PMS symptoms, I remember all the physical discomfort, the psychological fear that my symptoms could hide something worse yet to show up, all the incomprehension about it all… and such a feeling of disempowerment!
 

• Why was it happening now?
• Why me?
• Was I doomed to go through a worse nightmare still not showing its face?
• Don’t I do my best to keep healthy, eat well, meditate, think positively and so on…?

In a nutshell, was I really becoming sick and not knowing about it?

And on top of it – Who was going to help me out with this beast?

My Ob-gyn seemed unconcerned, for he could not see anything wrong… and quite frankly, I was not one to choose pills to begin with.  So needless to say I felt stuck with my own misery.

So many questions ran through my mind. I could recall no genetic incidence of any importance in my family; my mother was in no position to share anything of value with me. I really felt ALONE!

The symptoms kept on for some time until I visited my usual holistic alternatives; a fine lady proposed some supplements; that helped me a bit but no where near my usual and normal, healthy condition, that I knew best. So, I kept on that regimen for 2 more months.

Now, let me share with you that during that period of time, I really began to ask myself all kinds of questions.

Some of my trainings have taught me that we can either ask disempowering questions or empowering questions. I chose the latter.

I kept asking and praying to find an answer, find my truth, and understand the big picture. Over all, I wanted to heal but like most women, I did not know how… and no one around me was helping. Other than being compassionate and listening. I needed more! But what?

One morning…

I heard an answer from within that told me that IF I WAS PMSsing with such a symptom, it must be because it reassured me with a proof of some kind.

And I heard the answer that fit my life at that moment.

From that very moment, all my symptoms disappeared!

In itself, I felt it as a miracle and I embarked on a path to see if I could help other women reproduce that “miracle”.
And I did.

Without sharing my intimate findings I will volunteer what I did to help my clients help themselves finally resolve their PMS.

The whole recipe starts with the introspection exercise of really finding your sufferings and your pleasure(s)!

I could go on and on but that would not ultimately really help you.

My research helped me discover a pattern, a necessary introspection that we each have to go through if we want to find our own answer… and finally heal for real.

And the beauty of it all is that I have seen how every woman is SO UNIQUE in her ways to arrive at her own PMS.

This is why a pill may help some women but my concern makes me question how that pill is going to help every woman make the real connection within, with regards to her own mind-body connection.

As author Caroline Myss expresses so well:
« My history creates my biology! »

What is yours?
And how will you find it?

I urge you to visit my book and see for yourself.

Remember, you are unique!
 
 

Warmly :
