Hi, I'm Debra Graugnard, helping people who struggle with digestive dysfunction, emotional eating and body image conce s heal the stress, emotions and belief patterns that affect their discomforts and dis-ease. I also support clients with tips and self-care practices to bring the physical body into balance and support its healing journey.
A Spiritual Energetic Healer with a Masters of Divinity in Spiritual Healing and Counseling. A Master Healer and Teacher in the Shadhiliyya Sufi Order, in which I have devoted my studies and practices of purifying the heart for about 20 years.
My programs and services help people develop awareness, connection and relationship with parts of themselves that they have become disconnected from - to return the energetic and spiritual bodies to a state of wholeness, and to respect and care for their bodies on the physical level as sacred vessels for their souls.
Twenty-five years ago, I struggled with ulcerative colitis, fibrocystic disease and hypoglycemia. After starting the standard treatments which treated only symptoms and offered no hope of a cure, I embarked on a journey of natural holistic healing. Cleansing, juicing, fasting and spiritual healing all helped to bring my life into balance and restore my body, heart and spirit to health beyond what I had ever known to be possible.
My personal journey was incredibly rich and culminated in the understanding that our bodies are sacred vessels for the divine spirit and love. The body is designed to heal itself and the healing process integrates body, mind, heart and spirit equally.
With the journey of healing and wholeness, connected to divine source, we experience joy. It is my passion to support others to heal their bodies, hearts, minds and spirits and to have immeasurable joy along the way!

***God willing, I will never not call
<img src="http://www.joyfullylivingwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/HeartinLeavesonWoodenTable-300x287.jpg" alt="A heart from petals lying on a beautiful old wooden table"/> Last night I was driving home from visiting a friend. A temperate night in Florida, I had the window down enjoying the fresh ocean air. Driving along Indian River Drive, I began hearing screams and a woman’s voice. I saw a truck backed into a vacant lot, driver’s side door was open, no lights on. This is where the screaming was coming from.

***From Forgiveness Into Oneness
<img src="http://www.joyfullylivingwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/white-rose-cropped-300x273.jpg" width="168" height="151"/> I’ve been thinking about close of the year 2012. I usually think of the close of the year as a time for reflection and gratitude. But what came to me in this morning’s meditation was the topic of forgiveness. I thought to myself – I’m not holding any grudges. I can’t think of anyone I’m displeased with. Why forgiveness?

***One Teaching… Unity, Acceptance and Healing…
If I had to give just one teaching about what I've learned in all of my studies, it would be this: To truly heal and optimally care for our bodies, we must see ourselves as one with all that is. We cannot see ourselves as separate from anything around us or within us.

***Setting Healthy Boundaries While Increasing Your Personal Freedom
[Watch the video: http://youtu.be/PQbcIVX5T0I] I like to put a reframe on the topic of boundary-setting. Think about this: If you are walking around with boundaries all the way around you, think about what this looks like. Think about what this feels like. You are building a wall all the way around you like a fortress.

***Breastfeeding from Mother Earth: the Food-Body-Spirit Connection
Have you ever known a mother who couldn't breastfeed her child? Maybe you've been there yourself. When my niece gave birth to her second child, she naturally started nursing her beautiful baby boy. It's a natural desire for every mother to provide nourishment for her child.

***Disarming the subconscious saboteur
I worked with a client recently who deeply desired to live her passion. A part of that success meant speaking in front of large audiences about beliefs that she was very passionate about.

***The holy perfectionist
I woke up the other morning with a painful knot of gridlocked stress around my stomach. Great…that’s what we call a “fog” – a “freakin’ opportunity for growth”. Not so bad, though. It’s just an opportunity to trade out that knot for a gift of divine truth and grace, and that painful tension was the signal to let me know that this opportunity was coming. And it just so happened I had a healing session scheduled with a friend from Minneapolis. Perfect!

Women - We Need to Know This and Shout It from the Mountain Tops!
For almost 20 years now, I have been helping women find healing for their health, emotions, weight, body image and so much more. Time and time again, we find there is a powerlessness women experience that is beyond biology or hormones, and even the mind. It has a deep-seated root – a root based in FALSEHOOD. It’s time to reveal the TRUTH and SHOUT it from the mountain top! The lies and misperceptions: Our society carries a shaming of the woman, of being feminine, that leaves most women feeling a need to hide their light in order to feel safe.

***The Earth is Raining Mercy
Life is hard. It's full of challenges. It's meant to be that way – part of the journey. I grew up the daughter of a baker. I was a major sugarholic. Sweets and alcohol were staples in my diet – often in heavy doses. I had a few minor health challenges, but nothing I couldn't live with. I was content. I was unconscious to the ways that I used sugar and alcohol in my life – and content.

***Spirituality – Self-Sacrifice or Self-Care?
Do you consider yourself a spiritually-connected person? I do, and yet I sometimes find myself falling short of caring for my physical body in a way that best serves me. I skip breakfast or the morning workout so I can cram in one more errand on the way to work; I commit to more tha I can comfortably deliver and end up short-changing my time for spiritual practices and meditation that I need to rejuvenate myself; or I eat too fast or don’t get enough sleep because someone I care about needs me.

***Listening to Your Body - Disce ing Messages of the Mind, Heart & Gut
The other day I was driving in my car and a dashboard light came on that I had never seen before. I thought to myself, "I'm WAY too busy to deal with a car issue - I don't even have time to stop and check it out." Fortunately, I had the owner's manual right in the glove box. I looked up the symbol - it just needed air in the tires. I could easily manage that when I stop for gas.

***Guts are people too!
Welcome to you and your guts! My friend, Susan Hamblen, and I were talking the other day, planning for our upcoming Belly Wisdom workshop. Both of us are "inspired" by how often we hear people, clenching their bellies, say, "If only I could get rid of this!" or "If this would just go away!" or "I just hate this!"

I Love My Guts Tele-Course: 7 Steps to Healing Stress & Emotions that Affect Digestive Dysfunction
Next session begins in August 2016.
"I Love My Guts" is my most popular tele-course. This 12-week course gets rave reveiws and amazing results!
First, I want to share with you what past participants are saying about I LOVE MY GUTS.
“I can’t say enough about ‘I Love My Guts.’ Debra Graugnard not only brings together a wealth of knowledge about the digestive system, but imparts great wisdom and understanding on how to get to the roots of bodily and spiritual discomfort.
“As someone who’s never taken this kind of course before, I was uncertain and a bit skeptical at first. A class about the body via the telephone? But it couldn’t have been more right for what my heart and my body were needing. The webinars, classes, and guided meditations have been invaluable in helping heal some very complicated and longstanding issues at the core of my being. For those who truly yearn for insight and healing, “I Love My Guts” will change your life.”
~Tom P., Seattle, WA
I took Debra's "I Love My Guts" class last summer and it was so helpful!!! I learned many fascinating and interesting things that brought real healing to my digestive system and my relationship with my body! If you have any issues along this line, you won't want to miss this class!
~ Amina M. Pryor, PeaceAtHome.org
“Debra’s class [I Love My Guts] is a gateway to loving yourself to health and freedom. She teaches a step-by-step method that brought new and unexpected awareness to my impulsive eating. Disgust and embarrassment transformed to joyful loving acceptance. I have a new appreciation for my body and have a completely different self-talk dialog. The best part is that this method is something that can be applied to any difficult and uncomfortable life situation. I can be as free as I choose to be!”
~ Laurie B., Austin, TX
I know it's not always easy to Love Your Guts! They can seem to have a mind of their own. No matter how hard you try to do right by them, they’re still not happy. Sometimes they seem downright rebellious!
Indigestion, acid reflux, constipation, diarrhea – why do they keep behaving this way? Pretty soon you just want to douse them in chocolate sauce and put them on permanent ignore.
There’s just one problem with that. They really do steer the vessel. They really can put a kink in your plans – and for that matter, your whole lifestyle!
Digestive dysfunction is incredibly rampant in this country! As of 2008, over $750 million was spent on over-the-counter laxatives alone!
But who can you talk to when you really need help? This is not exactly family dinner conversation. There can be a lot of shame around the bodily functions. So we tend to disconnect from it until it screams loud enough to get our attention, such as through pain and illness. That's a major part of the problem!
This course is designed to help you connect to your body and learn to listen to and honor its messages. This program teaches you self-healing for your body, heart and spirit.
Understanding how your body speaks to you is key to healthy eating. The more you learn about listening to your body, the better you will be partners on the road to health.
Whether you are struggling with physical issues or unhealthy eating patterns in general, "I Love My Guts" telecours can be tremendous support.
I have a free intro teleclass and a Course Overview to give you a taste of the program so you can see if your heart resonates with this course!!!
