More About Veronica
Hello wellness seekers!
I’m Veronica King - a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Sound Therapy Practitioner based in the Niagara Region who wants to reach the overworked, stressed, exhausted, and in need of some “me time” individuals.
Through personal experience, I’ve seen what happens when you put yourself last. My mission is to open our community up to the concept that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of your family, your job and your personal life.
My passion for holistic health started when I met my husband, who suffers from Crohn's disease. As we dated, I learned more about this debilitating autoimmune disease and wanted to find ways for him to prevent future flare-ups while minimizing symptoms. My journey researching the best foods, practices, and routines eventually led me to my decision to go back to school for Holistic Nutrition. I learned about the importance of balance and that the first steps needed to start a healing journey begins within. I also learned that stress and how we manage it plays an immense role in deciphering certain ailments and diseases. For my husband, stress was a catalyst for a flare up, and for me, unmanaged stress would lead to cystic acne, sugar cravings and insomnia.
Applying stress resiliency techniques assisted us in becoming more aware of our triggers and allowed us to focus on how to minimize our response to stress. One such technique involves sound bathing, something introduced to me while I was attending a guest speaker lecture at school. After the lecture, I spent time researching sound therapy, sound bathing, and, well, all things sound related, and went on to complete a sound therapy certification course.
This decision to combine my passion for holistic nutrition and sound therapy allowed me to see a clear career path and lead me to create Kasama Wellness. My wish is to share with our community all that I have learned about holistic health and sound therapy, as well as help each individual realize the strength they hold in their own healing.
