Morning has Broken
On Nov. 26, 2008 Janaia Hutzal’s entire life tragically changed; when morning broke her daughter, Marina Jane McQuaig only eight-years-old, did not survive the night. At the time Hutzal was going through a divorce, she had not worked outside the home in almost a decade, the stock market was crashing, and she had two other children to raise and care for in a city she had yet to call home. All of this left her asking, “Who am I?”
The hardest part of her story is that the death of her daughter was not the hardest part. The trauma began when daughter was first diagnosed with epilepsy at two-months-old, and continued as she suffered with this horrible, progressive and uncontrolled disorder for her entire life.
After over fifteen years of studying the importance of finding fulfillment in all seven aspects of wellness, especially for those recovering from trauma, Janaia is now incorporating her experience and training as an author and journalist, yoga instructor and reflexologist to create life altering programs that combine mindfulness, movement and meditation to help others connect with – and become – their true essence.
