Welcome to Restore!

 

I created Restore to provide people in my community with credible education, and a guide to healers and holistic businesses in the Twin Cities. (Right about now is when people tend to wonder: Do you, like, meditate every morning? Are you going to make me get poked with needles? The answers: I wish!; not unless you want to.)

The idea for Restore came from my own story. I came from a foster home where, as a baby, I was put on valium to “settle me down”. (Yes. As a baby.) I was then adopted into a family that was riddled with dysfunction. From an early age, I felt like I didn’t belong, well…anywhere. I was voiceless.

As an adult, I was told that because of the things I’d gone through as a child, I’d need to stay on drugs for the rest of my life. I was shuttled through the system, analyzed, labeled and medicated and told what to do and how to think. I questioned the fate I’d been assigned and firmly believed that it was not my path. I wanted a better life. So, I followed my instincts. I looked at the underlying issues, boldly. And then I began researching the alternatives to the life I’d been prescribed.

What I found was an entire universe of options. Holistic methods that actually helped me, without drugs, without numbing. Techniques and schools of thought that reached deep into my core to help me work with what I had, rather than just seal it off.

And once I found that, I knew other people would probably find it useful, and maybe even life-changing.

Restore is a place to explore, to ask questions, to become informed. It’s a place to connect to the method that’s right for you. It’s a place where you have a voice.

I’m so glad you’re here!
