Welcome to Pivotal Self-Care ✨
I’m Rebecca. I initially created this page as a place to share positivity, my nature photos & as a sort of experiment/learning tool to play around with social media. I rarely used it.
For the last year+, I’ve been sharing my health & wellness journey periodically on my personal page. Today, I decided to pivot & share those updates here instead.
In December 2024, at 37 years old, I looked in the mirror & the woman I wanted to be, saw me. She was in there but she had been hijacked by her hormones, had an under regulated nervous system, was being fed poison in place of nourishment and was too sluggish to move most of the time. She is me.
How do I get this under control? How do I procure that version of me that I want to be? There were an overwhelming # of options. In my 20’s & early 30’s, I had tried dr’s & pharmaceuticals. Birth controls for my PCOS, SSRI’s for my PMDD, amphetamines for my ADHD & another for appetite control, benzo’s for my anxiety… or self medicating with alcohol. While they have their place & I’m not a doctor, those never helped me long term.
I knew I didn’t want any of the above but now there were more options! GLP-1’s, hormone replacement therapy, peptides, new research on antihistamines for PMDD, & of course, supplements galore. I’d like to loudly & clearly say, “NO JUDGEMENT!” if you’ve taken these routes! I heavily considered all of them & often, benefits do outweigh risks. We all must choose for ourselves. Our paths are all different & this is simply my personal journey.
Today, I’m thankful I chose my own holistic path. That long look in the mirror forced me to hear the woman I wanted to be.
She said, “Listen to what your body is telling you, use your intuition. Pay attention to how you feel. Research & use food as nourishment. Close the loops in your mind with mindfulness practices. Move your body to release tension and build strength to boost your metabolism & maintain functional independence.”
Here I am today, still listening to the woman that I want to be. Thanks for being here & if you’re interested in following along, this is where I’ll now be sharing my personal intuitive wellness journey. It’s not perfect & it’s not easy but, I pivoted & it changed my life.

To add: I’m a hairdresser, not a medical professional. I have zero intentions of providing any medical advice. My sole intentions for sharing my journey is inspiration for anyone who’s looking in that mirror & feeling like I have.
