"You are literally solely the reason my mental health is better than it was 6 months ago. Cannabis has helped me with my anxiety and self harm issues and its because of the work you and other strong women are doing to take this stigma away. I can't be the only one you've helped!" - Shannon

Everyone strives for a life of healthiness, happiness and well-being – one where the qualms and hiccups of every-day life that pass us by do just that. They pass us by without disrupting our overall quality of life.

While healthiness is defined as being in a state of good health, and happiness defined as being in a state of contentment, well-being differs in that it is not merely a static state of being. Rather, is it an on-going process of dynamic personal growth through actively pursued goals.

It has been well-documented that in Canada, approximately one in two individuals have experienced some form of mental illness by the age of 40, with disorders that affect the mood, thinking and behaviour such as depression and anxiety disorders as well as substance abuse disorders.

These in effect have dire consequences - from failing relationships to failing health. In achieving wellness, you implement for yourself healthy actionable goals that in turn promote healthy living, healthy coping and an overall healthy and happy lifestyle.

There are many ways that you can achieve wellness and a heightened state of well-being including taking advantage of very reputable programs such as the High Functioning Wellness Program developed by Natalia.

Natalia the Modern Shaman

Natalia is a modern-day shaman, having studied closely with shaman, healers and monks from around the world. The traditional shaman is defined as a person who has special access to, and influence in, the world of good and evil spirits. As a modern shaman, Natalia is bringing what she learnt in the echo of the mountains’ spiritual peaks down to the rolling planes of the every day.

Natalia is on a mission to guide others to elevate their wellness and step into their realized higher self. "Our highest self hold secrets to our success, abundance, happiness and health; there’s infinite wisdom, clarity and guidance your higher self has for you and wants to guide you".

We asked Natalia how she knew she was meant to be a holistic cannabis practictioner. Here is what she had to say:

"I had a vision. Like a spiritual one, I was meditating in my bath tub and I started hallucinating behind my eyes. It was a very powerful experience. Nothing could have prepared me for what came next. I saw very clearly this eye of this old Man, he was searching, frantically.

Finally the eye, landed on me and saw deep into my soul. It was in that moment I knew I had to accept my fate as a Cannabis Shaman. I was so torn and it was a lot for me to get over my cannabis closet fears - to go public with it; I knew I needed to get over my fears to help others heal. I had a greater calling to inspire and educate others to elevate their wellness. Cannabis empowered me to take my wellness into my own hands and I want to teach others how to do the same."

What is an Endocannabinoid reset? 

Whether it is mind/body, work/life, dietary and so forth, we are on a constant quest for balance. In biological terms, the internal bodily balance and stable internal environment is coined 'homeostasis'. One of the most important tools that your body utilizes to reach homeostasis is the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

Interestingly, the ECS is a natural system that was only recently discovered through the studies of how cannabis 'works' on the body. These cannabis investigations revealed this complex system of interplaying neurotransmitters called endocannabinoids, and their receptors throughout the body.

They are deep rooted into our evolutionary pasts and helps balance a great number of functions such as the immune system, cardiovascular health, mental health, memory, reward circuits and more. 

Many of us unknowingly struggle with an imbalance in our endocannabinoid systems. The High Functioning Wellness Program provides you with a personalized reset challenge of your system. This could include a combination of exercise, detoxing, CBD, meditation and so forth depending on your personalized wellness plan.

Upon Completion...

By the end of the program, expect to walk away with a renewed sense of self, a sharpened sense of clarity in regards to the path to take to achieve your desires and goals, and accountability buddies to keep you on the right track.

Take it from Brittany H, who recently completed Natalia's Wellness Program:

"I was lost and going through many health issues that caused me so many issues. I wanted to go farther and improve my quality of life! Natalia's program gave me that and more. 

My goals were to get off the medication that messed me up pretty bad and switch to cannabis and with her help I was able to achieve that goal and more! My other goals were gaining control of my life and making my relationship better with my man. Well my relationship has been way better with her help ,you just have to do the work to get there - we actually got engaged!  From her program I was able to get rid of Lyrica meds and switched over to cannabis. Natalia teaches you ways to get to those goals without stressing yourself out. Shes not just someone who can help you, shes someone who can take you to a whole new level and a newer version of yourself. The highest version of yourself and it was a lot easier to get to those goals with her help. She's not just a cannabis and life coach but she became apart of my family. Shes someone you can open yourself up to and show the most lowest version of yourself and she grabs your hand and always lets you know shes right there. She is someone you can be yourself with no judgements made. Natalia's program didn't just help me to my goals and a better version of myself but her program saved my life. I dont say that lightly either. Natalia is very gentle,open and honest but shes also there for you no matter what!
 
Thank you Natalia ? there's no amount I can thank you enough."

In addition to the accountability buddies introduced through the program, there is also an online community that Natalia has pioneered, with the same shared goals of increasing well-being and quality of life.

High Vibe Tribe

The High Vibe Tribe is an online community that Natalia established in 2018 to enact her mission in empowering others to take their health and well-being into their own hands. To Natalia, a high vibe life is one that is filled with profound inner-love, expanded horizons, constant self-growth, aligned connections – positive vibes that shine through you and warm those around you.

This is a community where you and like-minded individuals can continue to share your journey and encourage the journey of others.

Natalia uses a 'love cup' metaphor to illustrate how she perceives success as a holistic endeavour. To Natalia, success is not about earning money at the sacrifice of family time, moreover, it is about health, wealth and happiness that essentially 'overflows' in life.

The love cup is like a cup of tea and represents your love for yourself. If your love cup is empty, you do not have the means to help fill someone else's. You've got to fill your own cup - give yourself to self-love, and when you do this you will find that the cup will start to overflow; financially, spiritually, mentally and collectively. This over-flow creates a spill-over effect into the lives of others.

As per Natalia, "When we help ourselves, we activate the subconscious of others and they start to elevate along with us."

Why High Vibes?

In Natalia's words,

"I called myself hiiighvibes Because I wanted my community to connect with me and my educational content that guides them to practice high vibrational living. I’ve found its not realistic to me to be ‘good vibes only’ like so many have heard before... I mean life happens... suffering, challenges - these are unavoidable facts of life to and instead I am hiiighvibes. It’s not only good vibes all the time, instead high vibes is a choice - you choose to bounce back quicker than ever and get back into your high vibe!"
