Living with an autoimmune disease called Multiple Sclerosis can be debilitating. Not only does it affect a person’s physical capabilities, but it also changes their self-esteem and emotional health. Dawnmarie Healthy and Fit LLC, founded by Dawnmarie Deshaies, aims to support people going through the struggles of living with a chronic illness by providing tangible steps they can take toward “real” well-being.
Dawnmarie suffers from multiple sclerosis. The disease hits a person’s central nervous system, essentially in the brain and the spinal cord. After going through a decision toward well-being, Dawnmarie wanted others facing the same battles to go into a self-healing journey. Today, Dawnmarie Healthy and Fit LLC is a global wellness brand. It has scaled into a community of experts and volunteers who want to kickstart others’ momentum to achieve change.
Dawnmarie Healthy and Fit LLC created a multidimensional program that tackles various aspects to achieve well-being. The journey involves mindfulness, nutrition, fitness, self-love, and positivity. “Through my personal journey, I learned I had to become my number 1 advocate,” said Dawnmarie. After finding a solution that carried her through her struggles, Dawnmarie amplifies the significance of being one’s leading Advocate believing that change happens within the self first.
The company came to fruition when Dawnmarie decided to take matters into her own hands and face her disease head-on. It took her quite some time before finally changing her mindset and seeing her potential. Today, she does not hesitate to let others know that they can do the same, that anything is possible.
Dawnmarie prides her company for having compassionate individuals who sympathize and connect with their clients well. Furthermore, the company is continually scaling their capacity to reach more people. “Seeing a need for energetic, nonprofit work in the multiple sclerosis and autoimmune communities, we are continuing to build our organization to provide pathways to wellness using active lifestyle, personalized fitness, positive thinking, motivational coaching, and healthy eating choices,” said the founder.
Furthermore, Dawnmarie Healthy and Fit LLC maximizes the digital space to reach audiences. Besides being the founder and CEO, Dawnmarie is also a podcast host who shares her experiences and essential life lessons. Also, the company conducts virtual learning and coaching and authored several books. “We take our convictions and turn them into action,” said the founder. Dawnmarie magnifies the importance of commitment in the wellness journey and stresses that it involves pivoting one’s entire lifestyle towards the decision.
Dawnmarie is a very positive person, and her attitude radiates throughout the company and into its audiences. The founder said that it is important for people with autoimmune disease to set their mindset every morning with motivation and focus. To help people within the company’s circle, Dawnmarie makes an effort to reach out to them through Instagram and other platforms. She shares a little piece of positive message to help them face their day. Simultaneously, Dawnmarie shared that connecting with their followers helped her as well.
Soon, the organization will expand into the global scene and reach others suffering from chronic illnesses. Learn more about Dawnmarie Healthy and Fit LLC on its website (dawnmariehealthyandfit.org) and follow her on Instagram (@dawnmariehealthyandfit).
