GREETINGS!  My name is Kathy Ozzard Chism, CMT, NCTMB...

I created this website with LOVE, filling it with information to help YOU know who YOU really are, give YOU the power and permission to say "NO" when needed, help YOU use all-natural ways to heal mind, body, and spirit, and live YOUR life with OPTIMAL HEALTH, BALANCE, LOVE, JOY, PEACE, ABUNDANCE, SERENITY, WISDOM, PROSPERITY, EASE, AND GRACE...

Let's start with what I believe to be one of the main reasons for stress and ill health in today's society.

Have you noticed?  There is an epidemic in America today of people, (particularly women), who say "YES" to everything.  These people take on more and more and MORE, all the while feeling less and less inside.

Now, saying yes is lovely when it comes from a place of truly wanting to say yes:

• when saying yes comes from a place of love, not guilt
  
• when saying yes comes from a place of enjoyment, not "I should"
  
• when saying yes comes from a place of power, not fear that someone will get mad or not like you if you say no

However, too many people say yes from the guilt, shoulds, and fear... and this creates stress, resentment, loss of dreams, and dis-ease, which ultimately creates disease.

In my therapy practice, I see this time and time again in my female clients age 35 and older.  That is not to say this can't happen to women younger than 35, or with men, but predominantly it seems to happen to women in that age group.

I was one of them.   (next...)
