My Name is Orisha Re' 

I remember the time when I felt disconnected from my body, despite being at the pinnacle of my career Long hours behind the desk, stress-filled days and nights, endless sitting - it all led to a wake-up call I never expected. It was a slow, steady path of disconnecting from my body with the excitement of my success and a job well done.  Then one day, BAM – I endured a broken ankle and went through foot surgery. That was the accelerator to the path of disconnection. Next thing you know, I realized I had gained ten dress sizes. But boy, did that wake me up.  ​The confidence I exuded behind my desk seemed to vanish the second I stood before a group. My exterior didn't reflect the powerful woman I felt inside. I yearned to channel the energy I devoted to work into my own body and being, too. ​I refused to spend my life reminiscing about the past when I felt vibrant and alive. I refused to buy the story we’re sold that in order to be powerful and successful, we have to give up everything that makes life fun and pleasurable. And I absolutely REFUSED to believe I have to give up all the things that made life so sweet, like Tito’s and Dark Chocolate, in order to be strong and healthy.  ​So, I decided to find out how to bring that vibrancy, that sense of being fully alive, into my present and into every age I'll be, and enjoy every step of the process.
