Journey

I knew after stuffing my body into that little black dress I wanted to feel oh so sexy in, that I had to do something different. And what I knew was FOOD. I loved it all. The good. The bad. The fast food. The home cooked food. One bite of food. Or binge eating until I was fuckin sick food. And oh ya…I swear and say fuck here, we are filter free on this page, respectfully so just understand that.

So I started removing fast food, drinking more water, eating better and more proteins, veggies, not so late and making small changes from home. The next thing I knew I needed was movement, but where to start? The gym was all I knew…so that’s where I went…and what did I know how to do? Walk and run like I had quite a while ago in college and growing up as a kid…So I went back to basics instead of recreating the wheel and getting even more uncomfortable than I already was in this foreign place. I walked on the treadmill watching Food Network shows until one day I saw an info-mercial for an at home 25minute fitness program, a woman had just had a baby, she was doing it, if she was doing it then my overweight slow self could do it…So I hopped on a place I felt comfortable and that was social media….I asked my friends of Facebook if anyone had the Beachbody program, T25, and I found it, borrowed it and was off and running. Ready. To. Go. On my new journey with Shaun T, working out for 25minutes a day from my living room, watching my food, incorporating a Superfood shake daily, diving into a community of online support and finding a new love, passion and purpose in sharing my wellness journey on social media, in my new accountability space and with strangers on multiple platforms in HOPES of HELPING others HEAL their hurt & hard.

This was in 2014 and it has been quite a ride leading me to the last quarter of 2022 after a wild year and last few years for myself, and the world as a collective. After experiencing some incredible trips through the opportunity of coaching online helping others, I knew I was MEANT for MORE and to continue to help others heal as a WHOLE, inside and out, especially after the last few years, Covid chaos across the planet, a collective collapse it felt like to me, (well in my world anyway…) and it all fell apart the last few years to be REBUILT back better…Built back to what FEELS BEST for YOU, and me, to just be JOYFULLY YOU and that is where I found out being JOYFULLY JINELLE, was my JOB and teaching others how to just be JOYFULLY themselves, unapologetically, bravely, boldly, coming home to self in one magic moment at a time. Here&now. The joy of this MOMENT, joy is the job…and MY JOB, my purpose, my passion and MY POWER as apart of this planet as a human, guide, coach and just being JOYFULLY JINELLE! in every magical moment! Happy. Healing. Hurting. Whole. Here & Now.

After experiencing 2 unexpected traumatic deaths in 2022, lots of other uncontrollables in my world, and learning how to navigate this new grief journey, I leaned in to MORE modalities of WHOLE body healing, inside & out, head.heart.bod.biz.soul. because I was in pain...I was grieving. I had this new ache and hurt in my usually HUGE happy, whole heart, now with a new hole, I had to figure out how to heal…I called in MORE tools, more resources, more modalities to help myself as a human who was affirming I AM whole, healing, hurting and trying to find my happy all at once.

Those *new to me* in 2022 or in that moment included exploring reiki energy healing more. To break it down quickly, energy is everything, it’s not opinion, it’s science…it’s physics. You are a human made up of energy. The rock you are on as a planet is energy. You as a human have energy, in motion, emotions, and sometimes those emotions are hard, get stuck, you hold onto them and need to let go in order to live. Exploring reiki was something I had done in the past, but this new grief journey on ripped me wide open, I was fully surrendered, aching, hurting, hoping for relief and needed something, anything more to believe in that this all was happening for a reason so I leaned in…to LOVE, to FAITH over fear, over the sadness, over the wonder of “why did this happen” “how is this apart of my story now” I leaned in hard, I trusted the Universe and my path like never before. So much so that I got my Reiki 1 &2 certification to HELP OTHERS heal their hurt & hard better, with more ease, and gain relief, faith and hope that they too will find the light again, even in the darkest of darks.

Alongside reiki energy healing I have been exploring chakra energy & healing work which coincides with my yoga practice, breath work, mudra practice of hand gestures, meditation practice and somatic body shaking and grounding practices. I am incorporating MORE whole foods, exploring nutrition and food as fuel for your beautiful bod and recently obtained a holistic and herbal certification to fuel the feel good fire from the inside, out. I am listening to my body, what do I need, what feels best, trusting, allowing, surrendering and leaning IN. Truly working on feeling to heal it, trusting, staying faithful and knowing I am safe, supported, guided and lead if I just lean into LOVE, despite the discomfort. I am exploring the power of MOVEMENT through MUSIC more…dancing freely, singing at the top of my lungs loudly, more carefree and full of freedom, feels and just the JOY of being ME, here & now, in the magic of this moment, because that is all you truly have….

2022 taught me a lot of cliche things I could say like, “the only way out is through” and “this too shall pass” “it’s always darkest before the dawn” but it’s true….I have seen and been through the darkest of darks, over the last year and I wish it upon no one, BUT I am here&now, healing, whole, hurting and learning to find my happy and follow my heart and intuition again. Letting LOVE lead me to the LIGHT, learning to LIVE again, but helping YOU do the same, through sharing my story…Hoping I HELP at least ONE HUMAN gain relief, more control, a better feel, more confidence and clarity, ease, support. HOPE that, maybe it is truly darkest before the dawn, this too will actually pass and YOU are your lifetime of proof you have always figured it out, making it through your shittiest of shit days….

Here & now. You are magic. Truly. The chances of YOU being YOU, are 1 in 400 trillion. The chances of YOU being HERE&NOW reading this are also unbelievable, MAGIC. So lean in, keep letting LOVE, light and YOUR BEST FEELS of being JOYFULLY YOU lead the way and start to trust yourself more in the magic of every moment as you FLOW, FEEL BETTER, drop the resistance and just come home to being JOYFULLY YOU.

Currently in 2024 I am living in California, outside the Bay Area, after continuing to follow
the callings of my heart & soul and remain faithful in flow that all is unfolding in divine timing for my best and highest good, with full support from the Universe.

Know I am here & now, WITH YOU, healing, happy, eager, whole, hurting, human & SO beyond excited to HELP YOU heal and do this WORK, together, one moment of magic at a time.

Thank YOU for taking the TIME to read my journey & story!
