End of Year 1 of my Doctorate Program with the California College of Ayurveda.
I feel relieved, exhausted, exhilarated, and a driving desire to continue forward to learn more.
I have always wanted to be a doctor but I was always filled with so much self doubt. I just never knew how that could be a possibility.
I wondered about that for a couple decades
….
I don’t know if I thought it would be as a Doctor of Ayurveda…. at age 46…. But here I am!
Going back to school (again) at my age, investing the time, the money and energy into a 4 year doctorate program (and essentially learning a new language [Sanskrit] while I’m at it) should probably have me second guessing, doubting, or even panicking, but I’m not.
It’s in me.
This knowledge resides within me. I’m remembering this work.
I’m uncovering layers of greatness, knowledge and ability within myself that have been buried under so many years of self doubt, criticism, shame and insecurity.
At this seasoned stage of my life, I know this is my path. I feel like this is the best time in my life to be doing this. I feel that everything I’ve learned up to this point has been leading me to this incredible opportunity placed before me.
Don’t get me wrong, some days it’s a lot. Some days I wish I was sitting on the sofa watching Netflix rather than hours and hours of lectures. My eyes don’t seem to focus on the small print in my textbooks so easily anymore either 😉
… But I know that it’s worth it.
Ayurveda has always called to me. When I first found myself with the Chopra Center over 10 years ago, I knew learning this sacred traditional medicine was my path
… but I wasn’t ready yet.
I was still running away from myself. Running away from my abilities, running away from my higher purpose, running away from my truth of what I ultimately wanted for my life.
I didn’t waste any time between now and then, I still did my work. I worked on healing my heart, healing my self-doubt, and my insecurities.
I was able to put to rest a lot of my self sabotage patterns. I was able to connect with my passions and personal power.
I was able to discover the courage to unwaveringly pursue who God made me to be.
I’m not rushing this process. It is very clear that his time I don’t just want to (in my usual fashion) push through the work, get it done, pass the test, get the piece of paper.
The work I’ve done with Transformational Breath®️ changed that type of thinking within me. I knew that I wanted to deeply learn these lessons in Ayurveda. I wanted to have the traditional wisdom of the sacred art resonate within me. Much like with my breath work, I wanted to embody the work. I wanted to embody the knowledge, the history, and simply - as purely as possible - carry it forward.
For me, this is a beautiful unfolding of myself toward myself, with the intention of service (seva) of others.
I’ll keep you posted on my next milestone…. end of year two maybe. 😂
By then I will move into my Student Internship and I will need some volunteers!! Any takers??!!
So now I’ll ask you:
What have you always wanted to do? Who have you always wanted to be?
The truth is, it’s always been there inside of you - waiting for you to recognize it.
It has always whispered to you, nudged you, gently guiding you towards discovery.
It’s your highest version of your highest self, waiting for you to accept it.
Do you know you were born with a special purpose and you were innately gifted with unique talents, skills and abilities that the world needs - that only you can offer!
This is your unique expression!
Maybe you’re like me, maybe you’ll take the long way down your path. It’s ok. None of it’s a waste. It’s all beautiful momentum and experience so you have so much richness and fullness and life experience when you’re ready to sit down at your table.
If there’s something that you’ve always wanted, if there’s something you’ve always wished for, if you’ve always had a driving desire deep within you, allow yourself to express it.
Allow yourself to share your gifts with the world.
We need it.
We need your knowledge
We need your light.
We need you to express your gifts.
Don’t live your life doing things you don’t want to be doing - because you’re too afraid to do what you’ve always wanted to do!
You are responsible for your life.
You can change your life in an instant.
Are you ready?

Meet Dr Julia Gill. I work with her at HUM and she is an awesome person!
Dr. Julia Gill, Bsc.(Hon), ND
Naturopathic Doctor
A good health is the cornerstone of your ultimate happiness and fulfillment in life. Growing up in the rural parts of South Korea as a child, natural village medicine influenced me in a profound way when I chose to become a Naturopathic Doctor.
I am passionate about the Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae) which is the primary principle of the Naturopathic Medicine. I truly believe that the body has an ability to heal itself when various obstacles to health are removed (such as poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, or bad health habits like smoking or over stressing) and are provided with the proper natural therapeutic agents (such as good nutrition, Exercise and positive mindset) it will surely return to its original wholesome healthy state in the absence of diseases and discomforts.
I am a board certified Naturopathic Doctor and I practice a general family medicine with focus on nutrition, hormone balance, and digestive health. I have special interests in the organ detox/cleansing and natural weight loss. I am also interested in treating pain and injuries, and promoting relaxation and overall wellness.
Outside my clinical practice, my other passions include being creative and active with my children, Opera singing, gourmet cooking, entertaining with my husband and travelling.

Dear readers,
My name is Dr. Julia Gill and I am a Naturopathic Doctor. Today I would like to share with you an old Hydrotherapy Technique that you can use at home. It is called Wet Sock Hydrotherapy and it is used to draw congestion away from the upper part of the body. Wet sock treatments are also beneficial in cases of fever, nasal congestion, headaches, or any condition that benefits from increased circulation to the feet.
Wet Sock Hydrotherapy 🧦
Wet Socks (at the onset of cold or sore throat symptoms) – wet two thin socks in cold water and wring them out well. Put on the wet socks and then put a thicker pair (ideally wool socks) overtop. Then get into bed. The socks should dry out within an hour of getting into bed. You may need to do this a few nights in a row.
This playlist gives all the feels.
....Wishing you Bliss,
Siobhan O'Sullivan
