Moments that make Natasha continue teaching...
- A bride holding back tears after crash course 2 lessons
with her groom, who had never danced in his life, watching a video of him
actually dancing with her! And very well!
- Watching a student's confidence grow and carry over into their life
- A student realizing that they really can do this and that there's many
different dances, looks, and directions to take your dancing. Especially guys
who had the wrong impression of what dancing was. Especially guys that didn't
realize they could take it very simply with the focus on leading the partner
around vs 'stepping' and it not only making him look good & not feel goofy or
'dorky' but actually looking better than would ever imagine!
My journey with PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome)
After having been 'sporty' & active my entire life and always fit because of it
(that and a positive attitude & great people around me), all of a sudden I began
gaining weight. At first I thought it was due to having raised my exercise level
so high from Dancesport competition and/or spending less time practicing for
shows & competition and more time traveling, sitting on a plane, to studios as a
visiting coach. But then, before I knew it, I had gained 60lbs! I hadn't really
changed any eating habits, consider myself a healthy eater, and fast food places
turn me off. I was also feeling sick all the time--like I had morning sickness
24/7! My energy was down & it was a fight for me to make it through a day. This
was a new feeling for me, I normally have such a high energy level, people think
I'm on something! Energy drinks can't touch me! I would make dates to take my
students dancing then time after time have to bough out due to symptoms flaring
up. Full of frustration and feeling physically & emotionally crappy, I was
getting to my wit's end. We were building Studio 6 while Wes was finishing his
time in the Navy on graveyard shift & I was hitting the bulk of my symptoms...so
that meant when he wasn't here trying to work on it in an exhausted state & on
the wrong time schedule, I was the one person holding down the fort & trying to
wear many hats at once while getting only a few hours of sleep and feeling
nauseous and exhausted. I was even more frustrated not having the energy I felt
my students deserved from me.
Help: I thank my lucky stars for having such wonderful family. My mother
referred me to a Naturopath (Dr Barkshire), who along with my G. doctor,
diagnosed me and helped me at least exist again! After going through a deep
'master cleanse,' a natural supplement, a prescription of Spironalactone, and
watching how many hours I sleep, I am worlds better! I am still dealing with
several symptoms (not sure how I did what I did before!) but now I can at least
survive most of my days! I have also begun to see an Acupuncturist/Chinese
Herbalist (Lisa Taylor-Swanson).
I know there's a lot of you very frustrated out there, I've read many blogs
containing lots of cries for help. I know I'm very lucky to get as far as I've
gotten thus far and that I have such a wonderful guy in my life who constantly
tries to make me feel better. Please feel free to contact me if you would like
more details and/or contacts. I would love to listen & share in hopes of
helping!
