"Our lives are made up of an endless amount of stories. Some are amazing, others not so much…. And of course, we’re all looking for our Happily Ever After story, right? Well, I suggest an alternative!"~Dixie Ewing
So who’s story is TRUE?!?
First, a little more about us….
As a child, my (Dixie) parents encouraged questions.
My Mom believed questions were an essential aspect of learning & encouraged them constantly ...that is, until I started questioning my family’s beliefs as a teenager.
(Fortunately, even though my family & I may have different views - we still have deep love for each other)
Throughout my teen & young adult years I explored many different beliefs.
Then when I was 22 years old, I became a Licensed Massage Therapist graduating from Myotherapy College of Utah.
I felt I was pretty open minded & I had life nearly figured out (hahaha…..pretty hilarious now that I look back).
As a Massage Therapist most of my adult life, many of my stories revolve around my career and believe me, I’ve gathered plenty of colorful tales!
In 1999, I became a Mama! A huge dream & passion of mine.
Fast forward to now and I adore being Mama to 4 incredible kids! (Yes I even adore my teenagers- whether they like me or not, is a different story LOL xoxox) Plus 5 wonderful step-kids,14 grandkids and 1 great grandbaby!
Last, the best of all the game - I’m also a thankful & fulfilled wife…. Although, it hasn’t always felt like ‘happily ever after’ (more about that soon).
Needless to say, as an enthusiastic Wellness Integrator and zealous Mom & Wife, I’m deeply dedicated to Holistic Health! Especially for MAMA's (or soon-to-be) who are ready to clear the CRAZY stories and ReConnect with THEMSELVES and loved ones....
Of course, I am accepting of anyone who is ready and willing to jump into inner growth and holistic peace!
ReMINDers of how to unravel the CRAZY STORIES in our life that cause emotional, mental & physical stress
Combined with decades of experience as a Licensed Massage Therapist - supporting people, especially Mamas, to practice good self-care routines for a balanced, holistic approach!
You can confidently believe that my accumulated experience creates full Mind, Body and Soul Wellness!
INTEGRATION
Mind. Body. Soul.
You might wonder, how I decide to practice Wellness Integration...
Like I mentioned previously - from a very young age, I was taught that questions are knowledge…. And yet the main question I would ask throughout life was “WHY____?”
I came to realize, I didn’t seem to get the answers I was seeking, by merely asking ‘why’.
Then one beautiful autumn day in 2016, when I was trading massage with a fellow therapist, Nancy, I mentioned the recent separation from my husband. (Really, I was complaining & venting about how it was all my husband’s fault! LOL)
My friend, Nancy asked the question that would alter my life-compass forever….
"WHO would you be WITHOUT YOUR STORY, Dixie?"
I remember my mind seemed to glitch. With a dumbfounded expression I said “Huh?”
First of many ReMINDers for me....
INNER Work
Nancy briefly explained about The Work of Byron Katie (thework.com). I had always been interested in Mindfulness & this Work definitely peaked my interest.
My whole drive home after our session, I was ultra excited to search & find out more. And for the next few weeks, I was enthralled by this INNER Work! The more I practiced, the more I felt a ‘CLEAR WAVE’ of relief, and it started to be noticeable in my daily life. This Inner Work is simply identifying & questioning our stressful (CRAZY) thoughts, until they dissolve & our true nature emerges (also known as Self-Inquiry).
WAVES
WAVES
By the Way
You might notice, I make lots of references to water.
It’s my "happy place", especially the Ocean.
Thus my business name
Clear Wave Wellness.
Kind of goofy, I know, and yet so true to my heart!
BEYOND Explanation
In March 2017, I graduated from The School for The Work.... I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPLAIN the MAGNITUDE of the experience from those courses. Even though my husband and I were still separated, he began to notice the changes in me & in turn, the value of these Techniques. I started training with Clarity Coaching Institute in 2018 ....and of course, all this self-healing was beyond explanation.
New Perspective
I’m happy to say, in the fall of 2018, my husband and I reconciled! I give most of the credit to the shifts my hubby & I experienced from our regular Integrative practices. The tide just keeps bringing us new perspectives of reality, a constant ebb & flow. Of course, we still have struggles and stress.... The difference is NOW we have the understanding to Inquire, to be Mindful, to Witness, to Notice, to Allow - instead of fight against our feelings!
NOW life feels so much more simple, free & CLEAR, and so does my parenting and MARRIAGE!
Lighthouse
Allow me to finish with a cheesy analogy... Our family has created RRR:CWW as lighthouse on the ocean (of life) - by ReMINDing you to view your CRAZY stories more clearly, holding the space for you to identify what is true for you & ReDiscovering the path you want to take on your boat, paddle board, swim, etc.
Ultimately, coaching you in the waters of life by asking introspective questions & seeking solutions for your physical, emotional & mental well-being, plus mindfully reminding you to Be. Here. Now! And when you are present, YOU are more CLEAR, and YOU will pass that on to your family & those around you!
BTW- this is a mutually beneficial process - while guiding you, I also discover new parts of myself and heal right along with you. We're all in the same water, learning to navigate the waves!
So instead of Happily Ever After….
I’d like to propose
Happily Ever Present!
These are the gifts I’m passionate about sharing with YOU! Perfect duo of Inner Work & Bodywork for clearer Mind, Body & Soul!
Are you ready to ReDiscover who you are beneath all the CRAZY stories?
Your true self, your true wisdom, your true inspiration....
I'm honored to be your ReMINDer ....
Clear Body : Mind : Heart
