Mavon Caldwell

I grew up in Dallas, TX, and since childhood I have always had a strong motivation to work with and understand my body. I began studying ballet at age 5, and have pursued dance in one form or another since that time. My desire to dance brought me to New York where I attended Barnard College and got my degree in both Dance and Ancient Studies. My work as a dancer has also compelled me to explore many other movement and bodywork systems that are now part of my ongoing practice. I continue to study dance, yoga, and contortion. I also participate in teaching certifications for Pilates, Gyrokinesis, Gyrotonic, and biomechanics for dancers.

I always knew I was meant to follow a path of health and longevity. My desire for a strong and healthy body caused me to become a vegetarian by age 12. Many years of poor food choices and experimentation within the vegetarian paradigm left me dealing with several minor, but chronic health issues (including ear infections, sinus infections, menstrual difficulties, and weight problems).

In 2003, I became a client at Chakra 17 (Cyndie and Joyce's previous office), and began to learn the principles of food combining to support the digestive process, and how to gradually move away from mucus-forming foods. Since implementing a more plant-based, vegan diet along with daily vegetable juicing and consistent tissue cleansing (colonics), I have steadily watched my chronic issues disappear, and I am achieving a level of health that I had only imagined. My improved cellular health due to these choices has led me to experience great improvements in my ability to train and perform as an athlete, as well as, faster recovery time from injuries.

The physical and emotional consciousness the lifestyle helped cultivate inspired me to complete my certification as a colon hydrotherapist in 2006. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my experience as a teacher and perpetual student of the lifestyle with others. I am honored to be part of the LYT family and to be in the company of many talented and knowledgeable therapists.
