I began developing Hilarious, Health after working with a Health Coach for my own personal Nervous System damage. She often told me how inspiring my overall charisma was even after experiencing a lifetime of trauma and abuse, as well as SO much medical chaos and crisis. I told her I had to laugh about it, otherwise there was NO possible way I would still be a ‘living, breathing, remotely functioni
ng’ individual. I told her that although I took my health very serious, I tried to look at the whole picture and not take it all too seriously. I stand by the statement that laughter is by far the best medicine and bringing humor into the darkness is sometimes the only light you can take with you. Hilarious, Health is my dream platform and safe-space for inspired healing, self embodiment and teaching the immense power behind Nervous System Integrity. For those who don’t know me, I am a chronically ill Wellness Practitioner, Intimacy Coach & Content Creator who suffers from Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, POTS Syndrome, Hemiplegic Migraines, ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), ADHD, CPTSD, IBS, PMDD and I’m also a multiple impact-TBI survivor. When people say “You have to fake it until you make it.” DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. I wish someone would have told me to steer clear of that particular phrase; instead I spent the better part of a decade trying to embody it. All “faking it” ever did for me; was send me further into my depression and anxiety and resulted in some of the worst imposter syndrome and paralyzing executive dysfunction I’d ever experienced. It left me feeling completely crippled in my home, on top of already tackling numerous health disabilities. From 2019-2020 I attended an astounding number of in person and ‘virtual retreats’ (seeing as the world was temporarily on hold). The ones that struck me to my core were centered around the ‘Embodiment of the Self’. At first I was so uncomfortable with this idea because quite frankly all I’d ever known was “faking it” and “fitting in” to what society and my family had told me I would need to, in order to be successful. I honestly had zero actual idea of who I was and what I truly wanted in life, love, health, career…(the list goes on). At first, attending these events really triggered my anxiety and left me in these large bouts of depression and disassociation. I continued to work closely with my Therapist, Psychiatrist, Doctors and Coaches as I attended these events and slowly some of my more ‘jarring’ symptoms (post-event) would quickly fade. For the first time in my adult life I was tapping in to who I truly was, what I actually wanted and how I was going to work on embodying myself and no one else. I hosted my first SKNRGY event in the beginning of 2020 and I haven’t looked back since (other than nationwide restrictions). Our first SKNRGY retreat sold out in 15 minutes and I was completely SHOCKED! To be honest I would’ve been thrilled if only one person booked a ticket. After continued requests for more events now that the pandemic restrictions are lifting globally, my team and I have started to reserve our 2022 lineup of retreat locations. These events/retreats are designed for small groups; focused on connecting to your nervous system, practicing emotional regulation, with a special twist of Embodiment Coaching and Somatic Healing Modalities. Being unapologetically myself is what propelled me into the next phase of my life and business, lightyears faster that ‘faking it’ ever hoped to. I’ve been able to immerse myself in so much knowledge over the past six years working in this field, and I'm so grateful that I get to interact with people from all around the globe. Shining my light to help others learn to shine their own; that’s my goal as Owner/Trauma Informed Certified Health Coach/Licensed Esthetician of Hilarious, Health | SKNRGY. All my love, xoxo - Tristin Halie
