Episode notes

About Jana Danielson - Bloom Better was born from my personal health journey of facing unanswered questions, ongoing discouragement, and watching the dreams of my heart fade into uncertainty. At 21 years old, I faced a personal health crisis as doctors fell short of supplying the answers, treatment, and care I so desperately needed, ultimately ruling my symptoms as “an act for attention.”

At this point in my story, pelvic floor issues were only associated with women who had already had children or who were navigating menopause - two prerequisites that did not include me. Discouraged yet determined, I ventured forward alone in a search for healing, peace and answers in an attempt to fight for the life that was slipping through my fingers. My healing began in a very unexpected way. After seeing Madonna on the cover of a fitness magazine, I learned about Pilates and four months after my first pilates class, I was off all 11 of my daily medications!

Decades later, my life looks nothing like it did at 21 years old. My journey from crisis to confidence has been one of strength, beauty and resilience. Because I was willing to fight for answers and the future I desired, I am now thriving and living out every dream of mine. Because of the battles I personally walked through, I have an unrelenting desire to empower others in their health journey and provide ongoing support, care and wisdom in their choice to take health into their own hands.
