LISA mARIE

Founder of Life Purified

I have always been very driven to uplift and help others. It feeds my soul. My deepest self is fun, loving, and adventurous (love traveling, but can't currently), love laughing and spending time with positive inspiring people who are uplifting.

I'm my happiest when spending time in sunlight. especially when it sets - there's just something magical about it. I absolutely adore spending time with my family, my kids, grandkids, and my husband mean the world to me. And the ocean - it's like a second home to my soul. Have you ever seen the Caribbean waters? That shade of turquoise is just captivating. It's where I feel most at peace.

Lisa's Journey

I worked a lot in my younger years. When I had kids, they became my main focus. As they grew up, I found a passion for teaching. Teaching wellness to students, staff, and the community became my passion for over 20 years. As the years went on, I grew more tired.

I experienced:

  • Unrelenting fatigue

  • Pain & stiffness

  • Neurological issues

  • Blurry vision

  • Headaches

  • Food allergies

  • Digestive issues

  • Anxiety

  • Dizziness

  • Insomnia

  • Blood sugar imbalances

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Depression

  • Difficulty breathing

As my symptoms escalated, my professional journey came to a halt. Here began the journey to search for answers about what was happening to me and why.

The school where I taught created difficulties for me, ultimately letting me go due to my inability to perform my job. I received numerous diagnoses, being told I was disabled and had to learn to live with it.

Struggling with even more unbearable symptoms:

  • Debilitating fatigue

  • Memory issues

  • Tremors

  • Difficulty speaking and grasping words

  • Food sensitivities

  • SIBO

  • Anxiety

  • Dizziness

  • Light & sound sensitivity

  • Blood sugar imbalances

  • Palpitations

  • Heat intolerance

  • Temperature and color changes in skin

  • Difficulty swallowing

  • Exercise intolerance

  • Inability to walk, without assistance (crutches, scooter, wheelchair)

  • Chemical, mold, and electrical sensitives

  • Depression

  • Respiratory issues

  • Mast cell activation

  • Chronic regional pain syndrome

I hit rock bottom and even thought I might not make it. During that low point, a small spark inside spoke to me.

I started thinking, I can do this, I have to figure this out, this can't be it! I knew deep in my soul that I can find my way.

I started researching extensively, seeking information beyond what doctors provided. I explored natural healing methods and the power of the mind and body. Bed-bound and struggling with debilitating fatigue, inability to walk, pain, stiffness, and tremors, I felt frustrated about my condition. Determined to change, I sought guidance from coaches and practitioners. Gradually, I managed to get out of bed for part of each day, though daily activities remained a challenge. Despite the ongoing struggles, I had celebrated small victories, motivating me to continue seeking improvement.

Continuing my research, and following guides brought some improvements, but I still felt stuck. Despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a proper diet, I faced another setback due to mold exposure in my environment. Additionally, I discovered Lyme infections and other health issues, possibly dating back to my childhood. Frustrated and overwhelmed, I felt like a live wire desperately searching for a connection.

Frustrated, I searched for a quick fix, but my body reacted negatively to everything I tried for the infections. Feeling at a loss, I decided to trust my body and let go. I slowed down, took deep breaths (even though breathing was difficult), and focused on supporting my body in its own healing process.

Then I finally realized that my body was stuck in a chronic fight / flight. The body can't heal in this state of survival.

At the time all I wanted:

To Know:

  • What was happening to me and why?

  • If someone who could understand and believed in what I was feeling?

  • How could my family, friends, and workplace feel and understand my situation and feelings?

To Hear:

  • About the experiences and sights of others who had gone through similar struggles.

  • Supportive and empathetic words during my challenging times.

Help:

  • I wanted help changing my life, including adjusting my diet, incorporating somatics, managing stress, and reducing toxin laden products.

  • To understand and address the underlying issues once they were identified.

  • I wanted help from someone knowledgeable and experienced.

  • To be be nurtured and supported.

I wanted and still want:

  • Better tools to detect mold for a safer living environment.

  • To continue to seek positive people in my life who challenge me to become a better version of myself.

  • To support others on their own healing journey.

I am going on 9 years on this journey.

What I have learned:

  • These personal struggles help me understand and empathize with others

  • Many healthcare professionals lack sympathy and the education to help

  • I've learned to cultivate self-love

  • I've seen vast improvements in my energy eliminating symptoms that were holding me back and reducing others that I know will be on their way out too.

  • That these life hurdles are valuable learning opportunities

What I created from these struggles and journey:

  • Is the Vitality Pathway Program to guide others towards their personal healing.

  • These programs aim to help others discover a new, proud, and self-loved version of themselves able to take control of their life again.

My Background

With over 28 years of dedicated self-experimentation and a rich tapestry of professional expertise, I offer a unique and effective approach. My foundation is built on a Master's degree in Education with a focus on wellness, where I deepened my understanding of the pivotal role that education plays in personal well-being.

As a Holistic Health Practitioner (FDN-P), I employ a multidimensional approach to health that is both holistic and grounded in scientific research. I hold a Stress Management Coach certification and an IOA certification concerning ingredient safety and environmental toxins, reflecting my commitment to a comprehensive understanding of health. My experience is further enriched by extensive research into tools for health rebuilding, a path that has enabled me to heal from debilitating symptoms and draw inspiration from many pioneers in this field.

Currently, I am completing my certification as a trauma-informed breathwork practitioner. Integrating breathwork as a key component of a mind-body approach has been instrumental in my healing journey. This specialized training equips me with the skills to address and support recovery through breathwork, adding another layer of depth to my holistic practice.

Keep an eye out for a dedicated page focused on this powerful mind-body approach to healing. I am eager to share this knowledge and experience to guide others towards living the vibrant life they desire.
