Hey, there—I’m Crystal Bush.
Yogic Healer ● Reiki Master ● Vegan ● Actress ● EFT Practitioner
I’ve spent the past 10 years becoming your personal guide to enlightenment, self-realization, and deep transformation.
As an educator, coach, and healer, I help creative women, micro entrepreneurs, and other lightworkers find body and soul nourishment through a unique multidisciplinary approach.
After years of glaring signs from the universe (and my body) that it was time to make a change, step away from everyday distractions and destructions, and put some ZEST back into my life—I finally did. And it has made all the difference.
I know hardship. I know deep emotional pain and trauma—feeling marginalized, stuck, disconnected, depleted, and totally burned-out.
I know the beauty and empowerment that flows freely once you learn to reconnect with your body, mind, and that fiery, can’t-stop-me spirit.
Together, we can set your soul and spirit free so you can live the electrified life you’ve always wanted.
There’s “holistic”—and then there’s "Wholistic Urbanite. My professional qualifications as a healer allow me to provide a personal approach to wellness that taps into many modalities.
As a yoga instructor and advanced healer, I weave together sound, reiki, and crystal healing with movement and EFT tapping.
I believe every woman has the power to heal, become unstoppable, and align with their destiny.
My story is living proof.
How my journey began.
Separated at birth from my 14-year-old mother, I was raised by my paternal grandparents.
This single act set the next few decades of my life in motion.
I searched for love in all the wrong places.
I held deep feelings of abandonment, lack of self-love, and low self-esteem.
I turned to drugs to numb the pain.
Emotional trauma manifested into physical illnesses that took control of my life—and nearly ended it.
For most of my life, I suffered from physical illnesses, including my own personal battle of the bulge, chronic skin inflammation, severe digestive issues, heavy periods, and infertility. My life jumped from one ailment to another–as I disconnected further and further from myself.
Intense hemorrhaging and a diagnosis of seven large (benign) fibroid tumors coinciding an ovarian cyst and endometriosis was the icing on the cake.
I couldn’t ignore my body anymore. The pain had to stop and the healing had to start.
This was about something much deeper than what appeared on the surface. And, I knew it was up to me to get to the bottom of it.
While this story of trauma and the need for deep, personal healing is mine, it is the story of so many women.
We ignore the symptoms and signs.
We do our best to distract ourselves from the pain.
We feel voiceless and overlooked.
Out of this healing journey, Wholistic Urbanite was born.
I found my voice and personal grounding as an actress.
Despite working a 9-5, every spare moment I had was devoted to dancing and singing on stage in musical theatre. There, I grew comfortable and empowered in my own skin while embodying the unique stories of others on the stage, but health concerns kept me back.
Acting was the very essence of my being, but in order to be the vibrant performer I was meant to be, I had to take my health seriously.
I learned how to nourish my body with whole foods from the Earth.
My illnesses occurred all the while in the backdrop of consuming the Standard American Diet (SAD). And when I looked it in the face with its overly processed, deprived of nutrients, colored with dyes state, it truly was—sad.
That’s when I explored a vegan lifestyle and everything started to change.
By trading the acidic lifestyle of meat and dairy to a more alkaline lifestyle of fresh whole foods, fruits, and vegetables, I started to:
Feel good.
Notice the weight just fall off.
Understand that I was finally feeding my body ENERGY from the sun that it could actually use.
Connect with my wants, needs, and desires.
Look youthful and beautiful.
I discovered mindfulness and transformational healing modalities.
Trying to pinpoint what was causing a physical imbalance and disharmony in my body was a whirlwind that led me to many different healing modalities. There was no magic one perfect solution—it needed to be holistic.
During this amazing personal healing journey, I’ve acquired skills that have helped me become the passionate teacher I am today.
Starting the self-healing process shines a light on all of the things that are holding you back—whether social conditioning, deep-seated trauma, self-defeating beliefs, and/or economic, political, or environmental forces.
Healing provides awareness, courage, and the power to break through.
Wholistic Urbanite was born.
Now, I am taking all of my skills and knowledge and offering it up to the universe to help others.
Unlike most healers, my multidimensional approach can cater to the unique needs of my clients.
My offers converge on the yoga mat and in the kitchen—weaving together nutrition, guided yoga practice, and meditation, with breathwork, energy healing, and EFT tapping.
People are multidimensional—healing should be too.
I know and believe that we are all here for a greater purpose. I feel the calling deep in my soul to be a guide in the process of enlightenment, self-realization, and evolution.
We will walk this path together exploring how to incorporate healthier lifestyle choices (despite our busy urban environments) to assist in our unique healing process.
