I'm Blogging? Really?

My first blog post! Honestly, never thought I would be adding a blog to my website, or anywhere for that matter. I will be finishing up my holistic health coach training through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in September. This training has been amazing and is taking me out of my comfort zone - hence the blog! Blogging is something that keeps being presented to me in different forms. One thing I know is that if something keeps coming up in my life, I need to listen, even if I don’t understand why. I am listening. And writing. I will use this first post as an intro to get to know me a little bit better. First, my family. My husband, Carlos, and I have been married 18 years this October. Carlos is a musician and owns his own recording studio. Plug - check out Sound O Matic Studio, web, facebook, twitter… He is amazing at what he does! Carlos is a wonderful anchor for me and our children. He’s pretty easy going and very laid back. I kinda need that!

Our kiddos - Kayla (15) and Aiden (12) are the light of my life. Never knew parenting would be so fun! Challenging, yes. Heartbreaking at times. We drive each other crazy some days, but at the end of they day they are amazing creatures that I am having the pleasure to watch grow into wonderful human beings. Both kids are 2nd degree black belts in Taekwondo in the American Taekwondo Association. They are both state and district champs and continue to train and compete. Kayla will test for her 3rd degree this fall. When not kicking ass, Kayla loves to sing and is in the choir at school. Aiden loves to create on his computer. He has a you tube channel that he posts to almost daily. Love my kiddos!

As for me, I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. I attended North Carolina School of the Arts in high school for flute performance. My sophomore year of college I moved to the big apple to continue to study music eventually getting a BS in performance. I lived in NYC for almost 10 years studying music and this is where I met Carlos. Yes, this southern girl married a New Yorker with Argentinian heritage. This took a little convincing for my parents, but they adore him now. We moved to the Dallas area in 1998. Way less expensive to live here! Long story a little shorter, I began practicing yoga and eventually attended teacher training in 2007-2008. I have been teaching since and absolutely love it! I continue to study and have incorporated Reiki energy healing and Ayurveda into my classes and work with private clients. So, this blog. Not exactly sure where I will be going. I would like to share with y’all info about health, fitness, yoga, energy work… Basically, all the things that I am interested in and feel strongly about in building a balanced life. Or al least attempting too! I also post regularly on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. All at Elizabeth Savetman. Thanks for joining me on this journey. Much love, Elizabeth
