Jessi Renes Journey
My background is in health and wellness as a former personal trainer and group fitness instructor. I knew this to be one of the keys to a long healthy life. I have since learned how limited my perspective was.
After experiencing off and on debilitating anxiety and depression surrounding my Mothers battle with both brain and breast cancer I started to drift away from traditional religious beliefs and western medicine philosophy. I was seeking deeper meaning and a desire to discover my own truth about life.
Through my dark inner personal storm I began to find light and inspiration by diving deep into learning about other realms of spirituality, the powerful energy we possess, and our beautiful souls journey in this physical form on planet earth. None of my family or friends had ever talked about any of this and I didn't know anyone else personally who would even consider this type of thinking or living. The journey felt lonesome but for the first time it felt like refreshing truth.
"The Secret" was one of the first things I came upon and I clung to reading books by Don Miguel Ruiz, Deloris Cannon, Mike Dooley, Dr. Joe Dispense, Deepak Chopra, Eckart Tolle, and so many more. My inspiration for The Longevity Lodge came from being a long time listener of John Burgos, "Beyond The Ordinary Show", even before there was YouTube. They were all so inspiring to me and I felt at home listening to them talk about how we are amazingly powerful beings creating our own reality, choosing to come to Earth. Much of this perspective seemed contrary to what I was raised with in society, my family, and my religious background.
After working with my personal training clients, many with orthopedic issues, along with trying to find perspective on my Mother's illness I began to piece together how our thoughts and beliefs manifest into physical form and our emotions are all inner twined to form what I call the dance. This led me to learn more about all the healing modalities, alternative treatments, holistic and integrative practices that treat the whole person. My mission is to create a virtual community for healers, alternative and Eastern Medicine Practitioners, and seekers so they feel more empowered and supported in the work they do and/or the treatment they receive. The more we can spread this information and connect people with hope, inspiration, and empowerment the greater we can support each other in overcoming some of the challenges of Being.
About The Longevity Lodge
I created this space for people who want to feel empowered and take control of their one mental, spiritual, physical, and emotional well being by learning about and participating in Eastern Medicine, alternative healing practices, coaching, and other tools and connect them with the incredible teachers, healers, and practitioners working with these modalities. My mission is to help create awareness around the vast options we as humans have to help ourselves along this journey and some of the challenges we face so that we can all let our light shine a little bringer and vibrate higher.
