Sana is the founder and creator of her successful podcast called ‘Courage Unravelled’. She is passionate about helping people grow a courageous mindset in business and life as growing your courage muscle has amazing benefits!
Sana believes that resilience means the ability to survive adversity or some sort of big challenge and come through the other side having learned and grown from the experience. For the big life challenges, it can be like a strong and rising akin to the phoenix rising from the flames. “I also get this image of Arnie Schwarzenegger in the Terminator Series arising from the flames, mangled and robotic – but alive, nevertheless.” Says Sana.
In 2016 Sana experienced pins and needles in her legs and arms. She began to experience seizures that were body attacks of accumulated energy in her nervous system that released at night. They came out of the blue and developed into panic attacks.
At the time, Sana was experiencing a lack in her career professionally. Although she loved her career as an academic advisor, new clients were not consistent and the pressure built up as her home wasn’t selling on the property market.
Sana investigated a stroke or MS with her doctors and still continues to get to the bottom of the disruption that has occurred in her nervous system. Her exercise regimeme was reduced to slow walks, she lost weight and felt very fatigued. She also developed a sensitivity to foods like spinach and sweet potatoes, and peppermint tea, another sign that her body was under attack and inflammation.
It took twelve months of study and research and Sana finally began to feel well again.
No matter what Sana was going through, in her mind, she always believed that she would get through it. With the support of her amazing GP that was her rock at the hardest time of her life, she began to navigate her way through her journey back to health. Sana did a master herbalist course with David Crow, and also took a balanced approach incorporating acupuncture and psychology.
In this engaging interview, Sana talks about gene testing helped her understand how her body was metabolising nutrients. I have also explored this testing and it was a game-changer for me. With the results we can understand which nutrients we may not absorb naturally and when you tweak your foods and supplements if necessary, it can really boost repair.
Sana learned that the most important thing for her was to surrender. The brain is the control centre, and it didn’t’ surprise me when Sana said it was also about emotionally letting go of control and where she wanted to go. I am forever inspired by the emotional links to our physical ailments.
The other thing that Sana learned on this journey, was the power of the body and its ability to heal. With the right tools, we can let the body what it does best, it knows what to do. The trick is to figure out how to get out of its way.
At her lowest point Sana’s self-worth and esteem plummeted as she struggled in her career, she felt like she was experiencing rejection after rejection. She decided to go away for a weekend retreat, and she meditated, wrote down her skillset, and surrendered. On the first day, she was offered a new job.
Sana’s turning point was when she realised that she had a choice to go on and suffer further consequences or surrender. “When someone has faith in your skills it can change your life and that of others. My earth angel gave me the chance to have a 20-year career in clinical aromatherapy.”
Sana’s tips:
- Surrender, let go of control of where you are going
- Exercise, eat well, meditate and be in nature
- The body has the ability to heal
- Have faith and trust and you will find your courage
