Change your thoughts, Change your Life !
Ranked #41,357 in Healthy Living, #499,790 overall
I now work as a spiritual life coach and run negative core belief workshops. I have recently been shortlisted for Britains Next Top Coach. Through my own journey into health and spirituality not only have I turned my life around and changed my life for the better but I have inspired others to change their story too.
I am passionate about my work and even more passionate about inspiring others having created my own unique style of coaching called the "Butterfly Effect" which works on the principal of making the changes inside ourselves and then it having a knock on effect on those around us rather than expecting others to change.
I hope you will read my inspiring story about how I got to the journey I have made this far and perhaps vote for me on www.britainsnexttopcoach.tv so that I can inspire a nation to do the same.

My story
About 8 years ago I was in a very unhappy married working all the hours god gives having just sold a failing business with my husband when suddenly he came home from work one day and said he didn't want to be a father and a husband any more. It was all a bit of a shock and at the time I had just started a new course studying acupuncture.
With two small children ages one and six and a brand new mortgage. We had only just lost a house a couple of years before that and managed to recover I found myself single on family credit and having to move in my my very dysfunctional mother. I continued my course for another year driving 600 miles a week back and forth from college. Let out my house so the mortgage could be paid as my husband refused to pay any maintenance and bills and at the end of the year after finally qualifying with flying colours I started to feel very unwell.
Without going into graphic detail I was in the toilet 20 times a day which was not pleasant to say the least. I thought I had a touch of irritable bowel or IBS and went to the doctor only to be told I need to see the specialist immediately. A few hosopital visits and cameras up my bum and tests later - I was told I had severe chrohns disease and it would be with me for the rest of my life!
I was rapidly losing weight and was put on tablets and given a pretty dire prognosis.
Well not one to give up a fight easily plus I had a best friend who had had chrohn's and had to have half of her intestines removed. I was so upset that I had it. I had had many years since a teenager of chronic endometriosis and multiple miscarraiges, so this was the final straw.
My worst nightmare was having to end up with a colostomy bag ! I spent the next three months telling myself "there is no way I am going to have a bag" My diet was pretty healthy anyway but I just kept on saying to myself "I don't have chrohn's and I am NOT going to have a bag".
Three months later I went back to the consultant. Our bodies know when we are better. I said to the consultant "I am not taking the pills anymore and I do not have chrohns". He laughed and said "its impossible. You cannot ever get rid of chrohns it stays with you for a lifetime and you are just in remission". Western speak for don't know what the hell has happened ! I said "If you don't believe me stick a camera up my a*** and check". The next week they did stick a camera up there and the consultant looked very "puzzled" and said "I dont know what you have done Sarah Strudwick, but there is NO signs of any Chrohns - at the moment" The emphasis being - at the moment. Which of course is doctor speak for do not have a clue how you got better.
Its now 8 years later and I have been fighting to get that off my medical record since. I haven't had an attack since. Occasionally I have the odd "glitch" as I call it when I get a little upset and then I take a day out to look after myself.
I realised the reason I got the illness was because I was emotionally a mess. Having worked on my self esteem and having done some real "soul searching" since then. Looking at my childhood and my relationship which is now over and realising how dysfunctional it really was. I looked at how our emotional state affects our health and I have been working ever since then doing acupuncture and life coaching and empowering others to do the same.

Have you suffered from this, too?
I strongly believe having studied acupuncture and teaching spiritual coaching that there is no disconnection between mind and body. Once people become aware of that they can start to heal. Many people just think that when they get sick is something that is given to them and they have no control over it. They don't look at the reasons why they got the illness in the first place. For me it was a culmination of a lifetime of unhappiness not just in my marriage but from my childhood. Once I started to really look inside at the core of my being at my negative core beliefs that drove me to work so hard in the first place. How I bottled up all my feelings and they were literally "eating away at me from the inside" I realised I could make myself better !
