My inspiration for joining the Holistic Health Community
I’m Sheila Dvorak Galione, and I recently joined the Holistic Health Community as the Fundraising and Development Manager. It has been incredibly rewarding to bring my experience as a grant writer and development professional to help raise the essential funds that make this organization's life-changing work possible. As a client of the Holistic Health Community, I have also experienced firsthand the benefits of a holistic approach to health, and I am honored to be part of a community that impacts lives in such meaningful ways.
My inspiration for joining the Holistic Health Community comes from my own healing journey and health transformation over the past 2 years. The unique and powerful modalities offered have helped alleviate the fatigue and chronic muscle weakness I was living with daily due to a rare autoimmune condition, Myasthenia Gravis (MG). It has been a long journey since I was first diagnosed at age 29, and about 4 years ago, I had hit a low point in my health. For those interested, I share more about my life with MG in this podcast interview. When I resigned from my prior full-time position in fundraising to focus on my health and my family life, losing my health insurance drastically impacted my access to care. The Holistic Health Community became a vital part of my plan to heal beyond the conventional medical sphere.
Attending the monthly clinics with an open mind, I explored modalities that were new to me, and the experience were always healing and often transformational. Sessions and classes in Rubenfeld Synergy, Energetic Chiropractic, and Medical Massage helped me process emotions that were stored in my tissues and in my body, and my energy and health have improved immensely. I have been especially uplifted by the expertise and care from the kind and dedicated practitioners of this community who have helped me. I am deeply grateful to everyone at the Holistic Health Community and the positive impact you’ve had on my life!
