Healing From the Inside Out - Dr. Keesha Ewers
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and wellness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dr. Keesha Ewers, integrative medicine expert, autoimmune disorder expert, doctor of sexology, psychotherapist, board-certified functional medicine provider, and Ayurvedic practitioner, located in Issaquah, WA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Hi, I'm Dr. Keesha Ewers, the founder of The Academy for Integrative Medicine and Functional Sexology, an integrative medicine expert, autoimmune disorder expert, doctor of sexology, psychotherapist, board-certified functional medicine provider, Ayurvedic practitioner, medicine woman, best-selling author, speaker, and mother of four. I help women reverse their autoimmune diseases, heal their childhood trauma, and make friends with the woman they see in the mirror. This means you wind up with a healed digestive system, balanced hormones, a body you love, and energy that sizzles. I love my work! I love the women I get to meet. I love facilitating that level of transformation.
Like many of the women I work with, I have had an autoimmune disease and breast cancer, been fat, fatigued and frazzled, had SIBO and candida overgrowth, been depressed (and even suicidal), and have had to heal from childhood sexual abuse. I have been there, done that, and gotten the tee shirt. My mission? To guide other women to get to where I am now. I reversed my rheumatoid arthritis within a year of diagnosis, healed my breast cancer naturally, balanced my gut microbiome, and have learned the mighty lessons that past trauma is meant to teach us. I know how it feels like to hear a doctor tell you there is no cure. I know what it feels like to look at your children and wonder where you are going to get the energy to be a good mother. I know what it feels like to try and try and to fail and fall down. The road to health is not straight, and it's not easy, but it is marked with signposts if you know how to read them. That's where I come in! I am not like the average doctor out there. I won't just look at your blood work and match a drug to your symptoms. I am a medical detective and am really good at solving complex health puzzles.
Tell us about yourself
It was a combination of Functional Medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, energy medicine, and psychotherapy that allowed me to reverse both my autoimmune disease and my cancer. This is integrative medicine, and I now call my method the Freedom Framework. It helps me find and fix the root causes of blocks in my patients' physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy—while listening to their stories.
Because a person's story is so important, and because many of the blocks to vital energy begin in life experiences that happen in childhood, healing from the inside out is the only thing that works in truly getting rid of fatigue, weight issues, digestive imbalances, skin inflammation, hormone/adrenal/thyroid problems, autoimmunity, and low libido. Empowered, Transformed, Fabulous.
Today, I can happily report that the 4 Pillar Freedom Framework method I use to help women navigate through the five root causes of dis-ease is lighting them up. This will help you create the owner's manual for you that you wish you had always had.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Helping women, men, teens, and children become free of suffering...of all kinds: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
It's important to do your emotional detoxification work, as being a business owner allows you to confront all of your shadow aspects.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do your own emotional work and never stop.
- Find a mentor.
- Listen to the people you are here to serve. They will tell you what they need, but it won't always be verbally or consciously.
