Holistic Nurse Overcomes Brain Fog and Fatigue Using Bioenergetic Scanning Technology

Speaker 0: My name is Jill Rathburn and I am from Columbia, Maryland. I am a holistic health nurse, a health and recovery coach, and an NES bioenergetic practitioner. Okay. At a very young age, I always wanted to be a nurse and I really gravitated towards anything related to health and wellness, which I still do. I did go to college for nursing and I became a pediatric oncology nurse, which I did for a couple of years and absolutely loved it. And then eventually I did get into other areas of healthcare including starting a medical education company with my husband. My biggest moment in life is when I realized that I had an alcohol addiction. But it took me fifteen years to realize this. And I want to share my experience because I think it's pretty common particularly among women who are high achievers. So let me share more. So for me, I was always very focused on my career and my family. And I owned a few different companies and worked hard to make those succeed. My family, we were very active, a loving family, and all of our family activities revolved around the kids and their hobbies and their sports. While all this was going on with a successful business and happy family, I was also so into training for triathlons. I'm a spin instructor. I was doing daily yoga. So from the outside, it looked like all was well. Kind of the perfect perfect middle aged woman. Well, inside, I was really struggling. I was struggling with unresolved childhood trauma. I was struggling with depressed depression, the normal anxieties of life, and I was it was a really a house of cards inside of me, and my coping mechanism was drinking. Now I didn't really think anything of this because all of our friends drank. And in fact drinking is so accepted in our culture that I it was validated that I was just normal. But eventually over time it became clear. My family and very an inner circle of friends approached me and it was clear that I had a problem and then I eventually got help. And what I didn't realize then was in addition to fighting an alcohol addiction, I was also fighting a sugar dependence because alcohol converts to sugar in the body. And when you you when using alcohol is spiking your blood sugar. And over time, especially for women as we go through the change, this brings on a lot of health issues, all of which I was dealing with, which was excess weight, anxiety, depression, sleep issues. So it was truly a very difficult time for me. So my biggest moment in medicine was when I realized how limited Western medicine was to tackle alcohol addiction because it is a very comprehensive disease and Western medicine was just very limiting. Let me share a little bit more. So shortly after I got sober I just assumed I would get better and that just did not happen. I had so many ongoing health challenges and when I went to an allopathic Western classic primary care doctor he actually shared with me that my challenges related to my age even though I shared with him that I was suffering and in recovery from alcohol use disorder. So this being my point is that I realized that the solution to my particular challenge absolutely was not going to be with Western medicine but was what really lied with holistic health. So as a nurse that was trained in Western medicine, I realized that I needed to sort of break out of the standard mold and I proceeded on a healing journey. And I worked with a lot of holistic health practitioners and I actually got better pretty quickly except for two lingering challenges and these were big and it was brain fog and fatigue or low energy. And so I interestingly I had a great relationship with my acupuncturist who shared with me that I was having weak energy coincidentally twenty years earlier when my alcohol use had begun my acupuncture then told me that she was noticing quite a weak and poor energy flow. And so I sort of put it together that the missing link for me was not anything with bio chemistry at this point. The missing link was in energy or energetic health and what we now call today as bioenergetic health. So as I shared, I really felt that the missing link all lied in energy. And so no one was more excited than me than when I went to a holistic health fair. Now over two years ago in Sarasota, Florida and I was introduced to NES bioenergetic system. And I was immediately blown away and realized that this was the solution in a way that I had been looking for. It was an opportunity to take the guesswork out of energetic health. And so there were so many things that impressed me immediately. First is the ease of use. Just simply putting your hand on a scanner and which maps the human body field energetically. Then second, of course, the practitioners there, no one had met me whatsoever. And so, you know, this was really kind of a study right on the spot because up came on the screen all the issues that I had been working on. I was I it nailed it. My liver, my gut, my memory, my energy. There it was. And it organized the information very clearly for me to understand where my energy, was weakest and where I was deviating off the norm. So during this time I began coaching and I realized that I wanted to bring the NES system into my health and recovery coaching practice and so I became a bioenergetic practitioner. So my number one tip when working with people would be to really read in between the lines of the scan. I find that dysfunctional habits, lifelong habits shine through loud and clear on the scan. Sometimes it's in the energy strength section. Sometimes it's in the flow, often in the mind body section. And it's a golden opportunity to dig deeper and say something like, if there was anything in your life that you would like to change or is keeping you from leading your best life, what might that be? And that opens the door to somebody saying, oh, I've just been eating junk food, or I find myself eating late at night when I shouldn't be, or I'm hitting the cocktails a little harder. But it doesn't everybody. And they always sort of roll off an excuse and you know you're getting to the crux of the matter of what's keeping their health from moving forward. I have the honor to work with many different kinds of women and often they're going through really difficult times. And regardless of what the issues are I have found that health coaching and with the NES system definitely we can tackle virtually anything. In other words, I can help you on your wellness journey regardless of circumstance, experience, or disease. And the key thing is to be open to a new experience. As a holistic health nurse and health coach, the biggest impact I can make with my clients is to help them overcome lifelong dysfunctional habits, take control of their health so that they can transform their lives.
