We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Misty Texeira a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Misty, thanks for joining us today. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?
Similar to so many folks that get into working in holistic health, I went through my own wellness journey in my early years. Conventional medicine treatments weren’t working and had little support to offer me. I was fortunate enough to have parents that sought alternative care, which was a huge turning point in my health and ultimately altered the trajectory of my life. I’m extremely passionate about homeopathy as it was one of the modalities that had such an impact on my life and wellness. So much so that I decided to go back to school to become a Classical Homeopath and now have the privilege of working with clients who are on their own wellness journeys.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Haven Homeopathy was founded in 2021.
My mission is to support women and families seeking true wellness, inside and out. Through homeopathic care, we work together to shift stuck patterns and uncover your true whole health. With holistic skin care, I assist you in enhancing and balancing your skin’s ecosystem, enabling vitality to shine through your being.
Homeopathy is a holistic form of health care that has been used effectively for over 200 years. It considers the body as a whole and all symptoms (physical, mental, emotional) as your body’s way of communicating that something is imbalanced. Symptoms aren’t the enemy, and they aren’t the dis-ease, they are a branch of the tree and the homeopathic remedy is aimed at targeting the root.
Through your initial appointment we’ll discuss your health history, current symptoms, and most importantly I seek to understand you as a whole individual person. A homeopathic remedy is chosen which will stimulate a healing response within your own immune system, allowing the body to heal itself and rebalance to a place of homeostasis. The remedies themselves are made of highly diluted and potentized animal, mineral and plant substances.
My work in holistic skin care aligns with my core belief that we are more than a sum of our parts, and again, a symptom (like acne or eczema) are an indication of the imbalance. Have you ever felt like you’ve tried every skincare product or tool out there and yet the ailment remains unchanged? This is such a great example of there being a deeper imbalance that goes more than skin deep.
I have an office in Excelsior, Minnesota where I see clients in person for both homeopathy and skin care services. I also see clients from all over the country remotely.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
Whatever is coming up for you right now is happening FOR you, not TO you. Isn’t that such an empowering way of looking at things? It really puts you in the driver’s seat of your health. What is coming up for me right now and what is it trying to teach me? What patterns am I being asked to recognize and shift? Our bodies are always trying to find their way back to homeostasis. Our symptoms provide the environment to allow our soul to continue developing. We truly are so much more than the sum of our parts, and health is so much more than the absence of a symptom.
If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?
If I had to go back I would absolutely chose the path I am currently on over and over again. It is such a privilege and honor to work with my clients on such a deep level.
