Where BLOOM began… Pt. 1
My name is LeeAna Rose Theberg. My journey is one of tragedy, triumph and a whole lot of love + healing. Here’s the story of how I evolved from the typical Western life into a life of honoring my mind, body + soul.
My spiritual journey began at a very young age. My Grandma was a Kriyananda yogi. She exposed me to the metaphysical world of astrology, meditation, my ancestors, the cosmos and really was the catalyst at a young age to explore my spirituality with no boundaries. My emotional journey came natural as I was always exploring emotional intelligence practices. I have never feared the deep end of emotions. And as anyone that knows me, knows, we’re going to dive into the real sh*t - fast.
In my 35 years in this lifetime I have done the deep work it takes to have a strong mind and really expose my soul to evolve. I have never let my misfortunes define me. I have worked my a** off to rise out of poverty, against all odds, to chase my dreams and become the woman I am today.
I have always been grateful for my life, and I felt I was doing right by my mind, soul and body. Or so I thought…
Back in 2017 I started to use what I thought was a “natural” and toxic-free shampoo and conditioner. It’s a Multi-level Marketing product, so I had some friends selling it. I figured, why not? Instead of buying salon grade products, I believed the hype (and hid it from my mom who is a hairstylist). At first I loved it, but then my body started doing some strange things. My face, chest and back started breaking out, I thought - I need to take a deeper look into my skincare. This is where I began to pull the string that would eventually unravel the dark world of our consumer lifestyle.
I switched my face + body products, but it didn’t change the breakouts. Then I started to have strange hormonal symptoms. My breasts got tender, my very regular period became extremely heavy, painful and random.
Then… my hair began to fall out.
That’s when I began to do more research on the hair products I had switched to. I realized that these “naturally based” products were nowhere near toxic-free. I stopped using the products and most of the symptoms went away, but my body has never been the same since.
I started to learn about not only our body products, but cleaning, food, and just started to uncover the depths of the toxic lifestyles we lead blindly. I couldn’t believe we are living in a horrific world of toxin exposure.
I was shocked, disgusted and frankly… I was PISSED.
It’s then I realized just how bad things really were. How could we be intentionally lied to, manipulated and put in harm’s risk with the full support of the government? There is a war being waged against humans, and we are PAYING to participate. A war being waged on humans for profits. We are being poisoned and killed, knowingly. Men, women and yes… especially our children. It’s that heartless. Yet the U.S. is one of the only developed countries that allows so many harmful chemicals in well… everything we use, eat and purchase.
My journey as a human test gerbil began years ago as I went on a relentless pursuit to find the best of the best TRULY clean products. It’s changed my skin, hair and LIFE for the better. Sadly, I didn’t make the necessary changes soon enough…
