Anyone looking from the outside in would have assumed
that this was a dream life for entertainer turned holistic edu-tainer, Fatima Lowe. It was. Things were really happening!
She was on the fast track to notoriety and it appeared that Hollywood was starting to take notice. And then it happened!
Illness had come into her life, halted her groove, and paved the way for some valuable life lessons.
After
a 2001 diagnosis of Fibromyalgia Syndrome, an autoimmune neurotransmitter illness characterized by intense full body pain,
chronic fatigue, depression , hormonal imbalances among other symptoms, Fatima knew that she had found greater purpose. Life
could no longer be about jet setting to and from gigs or music as usual. She needed time to heal. Her quality of life depended
on it.
She set out to discover a way in which her body could heal naturally thus allowing her to safely wean off of prescription
drugs and beat the illness despite reports of there being no known cause and no known cure. "I decided to go the natural
alternative route. I began purging, cleansing and detoxifying my body (including my thoughts), made lifestyle and dietary
changes, discovered herbs and slowly began to feel better". In addition to herbs, yoga, colon hydrotherapy, and segueing
to a raw foods lifestyle, she has successfully recovered from Fibromyalgia. In addition, she has healed herself of constipation,
candida, chronic fatigue, depression, PMS, thyroid related weight gain and a host of other symptoms.
This
transformation had such a profound effect on her personally, that she decided to learn as much as she could about holistic
health and nutrition while continually trying all that she learned on herself. The results have been nothing short of a miracle.
Along the way there was a paradigm shift, in which she decided to pursue more knowledge in the healing arts and use
music in a way that was complementary to the new lifework that was slowly emerging. She documented her healing process through
song and with the release of Purge and Re-Member, a spiritual wellbeing CD. This CD further extends her platform,
serving as a tool to create awareness about the mind-body-spirit process of healing both within and without.
This
has led to being featured as an edu-tainer in health and wellness circle nationwide including speaking at such high profile
organization events as the Fibromyalgia Coalition International Conference, The Raw Film Festival, and being featured in such media
outlets as Social Workout, Raw Spirit Radio, Fibromyalgia Aware for the National Fibromyalgia Association and Visions
Metro Weekly.
She has trained as a raw food chef and instructor with Alissa Cohen and has personally trained with and worked extensively
with notable Detox for Women author/nutritionist, Natalia Rose. She now has a thriving Hollywood practice where she
provides colon hydrotherapy, fibromyalgia support, raw coaching, classes and holistic lifestyle coaching. She has even been
known to break out in a song or two during a colonic session! 
It is her hope that others will tap into the connection that comes with becoming holistically in tune with our bodies
and the fact that given the proper tools, the body can heal itself."
