Dear Erin,

Thank you so much!! Very validating – I knew that functional had its place, and this helps confirm my reality and add to it! This enhances my perspective… a GNM takeaway for me is that the food helps nourish us but does not ultimately solve a conflict shock, just makes us stronger so that the psyche can do that. I love what @PennyJuniper shared as well that the functional approach can add more energy so that we can get to work on the internal, truly Knowing and embodying our power.

Overall, I am so glad I asked and it’s a relief to be able to get answers like this! Nice to be surrounded by practitioners like you and all here. Thank you both for sharing your wisdom…I actually teared up a bit after reading Penny’s. Thanks Penny for sharing your perspective as someone who uses functional actively professionally. I figured this group would have some experience and opinions here, and I feel supported! I think the real key is what you say about how anything can work when we are in our power, and that even the power is all we need. I have just been reflecting on this and love how you articulated it.

Erin all the best on your studies at the Vesica Intstitute! Thank you for helping integrate the many things I’ve been learning through many sources in your reply. I think most of my colleagues are more focused in their various sectors and it was nice to have these bigger picture responses. Grateful for the integration and also for the community to strengthen my confidence!

I recognize that despite the allure of getting more normie clients in the door through functional, I will not take that route currently. These replies also made me aware of a shadow motivation that I really want my mother to heal her Hashimoto’s, and my having a functional practice may be a door for her since apparently so far my telling her about it and many other resources hasn’t worked! Lol, how crazy if I were being influenced to get certified because of that!! What a deep inquiry this turned into for me. Grateful for your light as I continue to shine mine in the work I already do! ☺

And gosh yes intuitive eating…I know this is the path for me too, and I eat also as you mentioned (raw milk, local, etc). Still working through some programming (apparently) so thank you for voicing your thoughts and inspiring me. Gosh I can hardly wait til I manifest an in-person community with people like you all!

I did a combined reply to @EY29 and @PennyJuniper , thank you both!! I hope it’s easy enough to follow!
