Why She Left Nursing — Building Grounded from the Ground Up | Astrology Ride of the Day
Description
Grounded isn't just a shop — it's Reiki, massage, a book club, a lending library, and a store stocked with everything from crystals to kids' yoga mats. But before any of it existed, Stacy was deep inside the medical system, moving from Western medicine into functional medicine, using tools like PEMF and ozone therapy years before she'd ever call herself intuitive. The anxiety built quietly, then all at once — a ruptured colon, a hospital stay, and a soul that wouldn't stop calling her to leave. She didn't walk away with a plan. She walked away broke, sick, and certain of one thing: healthcare shouldn't cost what it costs. What started as an idea for an affordable healing center became a toolbox instead — one shelf, one class, one Saturday session at a time. Know thyself. Balance your energy.
Takeaways
- Grounded offers in-house Reiki and massage (both intuitive), a lending library, a community board, biweekly metaphysical book club, meditations, sound baths, and a full retail store — books, crystals, candles, incense, oracle cards, and even a kids' section.
- Stacy's professional path moved from Western medicine into functional medicine, where she used energetic modalities like PEMF, infrared therapy, and ozone treatments.
- Rising anxiety and a ruptured colon requiring hospitalization became the breaking point that ended her nursing career entirely.
- Her original vision was an affordable energy healing center — a reaction to watching her previous clinic turn away patients who couldn't afford expensive treatments like ozone therapy.
- Without the funds to build out full modalities right away, she pivoted the concept into a "toolbox" store instead — the belief that people can learn to heal themselves with the right tools and knowledge.
- She sees tension between Western and energetic medicine and believes real integration will have to start in medical schools, not clinics.
