“Anxiety used to completely control me. It dictated when and where I went out, who I saw, how I talked to myself — and not in a good way. It was holding me back in so many ways, but I felt completely helpless to its grip. Working with Ray helped me get to a much better place, one step at a time. When I saw my lab results being so abnormal, I knew I had to make a change. It wasn't easy, but it's been an investment in myself that pays off every day.”

Anxiety had completely taken over Ava's life, preventing her from being her best self academically, socially, professionally, and even individually. It was the constant voice in the back of her head whispering, often shouting, "you're not good enough, and everyone sees it." She was running on fumes, exhausted by this constant battle yet unable to sleep at night, surviving on coffee and nicotine, and struggling to foster a healthy relationship with food. When she started working towards quieting the negative self-talk, rebalancing her body, and implementing healthier habits, a transformation began to take place. Gradually Ava was able to get back into the drivers seat of her life and stop letting anxiety make decisions for her.
