From Hell to Health with Anya Nicholson

Join us as we welcome the indomitable Anya Nicholson, the queen of resilience and empowerment in the health and wellness community, who bravely shares her journey from the shadows of abuse and many seemingly insurmountable health crises to the light of recovery and finding her soul purpose.

Listen in as Anya shares her life story, scarred by sexual trauma and severe health challenges. Anya details her path to healing through the power of natural remedies and emotional fortitude in her remarkable health journey.

We delve into the pain that lurks within cycles of familial abuse and the fraught road to validation and boundary-setting amidst such deep-seated trauma. Anya sheds an unflinching light on the flaws of our medical system that fails some of us and the culture of silence that often leaves survivors without the protection and recognition they need for their recovery. Her courage in speaking out is a profound call for societal change, and her insights offer solace and solidarity to those whose voices have also been dismissed or unheard, like hers.

In the throes of our discussion, Anya shares her toolkit for mending the wounds of trauma, underscoring the vital role of wellness practices in her own recovery. From the therapeutic embrace of meditation to the grounding power of connecting with nature, she presents a blueprint for others navigating their healing journeys. Her dedication to helping others rediscover joy and hope is as unwavering as it is inspiring, and her story serves as a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making the seemingly impossible look achievable.

Anya's short introduction in her own words

From Hell to Health!

I’m Anya, a former forensic accountant turned Wellness Coach.

I help people get their lives back like I did and doing so gives me immense joy! I was sick for 13 years and faced many challenges including Sheehan's Syndrome which is a brain injury caused by hemorrhaging during childbirth, SAI, EDS, MCAS, POTS, and more.

With the help of fruit, cold-pressed juice, and a high raw vegan diet I’ve lost 120 pounds and kept it off, healed most of my conditions, learned to manage the rest naturally without medication, and I’ve emerged healthier and stronger than I ever was before. I was dismissed by the medical system and had to learn to manage my health conditions by myself to stay alive.

I’m on a personal mission to help others avoid what I went through and to see what is possible by showing how I healed myself and helping you do the same.
