Here’s a “power tip” for what you can do when you feel something you don’t like, don’t agree with or straight up think is wrong.
When something arrives in our field, it’s because something of it, even the tiniest residues, are still living within us.
When we acknowledge that rather than avoid or deny our part, we can shift that thing.
Sound impossible? Give it a try. Then try it a bunch more times and see what starts to shift.
For more info, DM me and I’ll send you a fascinating article about the man credited with bringing the Hawaiian healing practice of Ho’oponopono to a larger audience. And how he healed deeply ill patients in a mental institution simply by being present to their medical charts and clearing what came up in his field.

What do you do when things feel intense?
Do you distract? Avoid?
Or do you drop in?
There’s no shortage of research to support that we CAN change anything - our state of being, how our genes express themselves, how cells experience health or disease…
And there are SO many ways to access more of your healing capacity.
What will you choose today?

I have a lot of people asking me which multi-vitamin I recommend.

The answer might surprise you!

And, as a reminder, "supplements" are supposed to be exactly that - a "supplement" to a well-rounded overall lifestyle.

This includes not just eating well, but also digesting well in order to RECEIVE the nutrition from our food.

It also includes making sure our food is sourced well so it includes not just good macro's (protein, fiber and fat). It also needs to be grown in a balanced environment so we can be assured that each bite is full of the vitamins and minerals (especially the trace minerals!) that we need.

Finally, it includes resonance.

What kind of environment or vibe are the people handling your food or products hanging out in? Do the people at the company love and believe in what they do? Do you resonate with the ingredients, philosophy, or taste of the product? Or are you taking it "because it's good for you"??

Like everything else, how we fuel, nourish and support our bodies is a call to pause, get into alignment, and choose from there.

Are you in connection with your body?
Often, we wait until something is "wrong" before we really pay attention to the body.
But what if, right now, you started really listening? To the rhythms of your day and month. To the whispers of what would feel nurturing. To the guides about what to eat in each moment, how to move, when to rest.
When we become more attuned to our bodies, then we can respond when something comes out of alignment - and can rediscover homeostasis with much more ease!

Prepping for my presentation at the Louisiana Association of Medical Psychologists later this month.
Fascinated rereading these texts and making new links about how trauma - of any sort- lives in our bodies and wants to be touched with compassion so it can resolve.
When talking with clients in my office, I often use the analogy that unresolved emotions are like a dog toy stuck under the rug.
You can stomp on it, vacuum over it, but you’ll still trip over it.
The solution is to lift up the rug, acknowledge what’s there, and put it back in its proper place.
Same is true with anything from our past that still causes an emotional reaction.
Memories live in your cells. They cause symptoms to manifest as they are calling for our attention.
By touching into them with Presence and Compassion, they spontaneously release. Often bringing a huge sense of relief (contrary to what your mind might tell you to get you to keep avoiding looming more closely at whatever it is you boxed away).
If your body is symptomatic and you’re not sure why, let’s talk.
There just might be more to the story than bloodwork and diagnosis. 💖

I've been working with a variety of people over the last number of weeks who are navigating a new diagnosis that they've received.

This experience comes with all of the feels - fear, relief, anticipation, curiosity...you name it, and it's here.

It can also be a time of confusion where we feel overwhelmed and not sure what the right path forward for us really is.

The guidance that I've offered is that this is a call to come home to yourself.

No matter what the diagnosis, prognosis, or treatments offered, the experience you're having is beckoning you to listen...to YOU.

After a few minutes of conversation, clients are feeling more relaxed, more peaceful, more clear...and more aligned within themselves.

They know where to start and feel ready to face each step as it comes, because they know "I've got me".

Your health (and especially the challenges you may be facing) is a portal to dive more deeply into yourself. To explore the practices, foods, and experiences that most nourish and support your whole being.

If you let yourself know what you know, without doubt or confusion muddying the waters, what becomes clear?

If you'd like someone to walk with you, I'm here for it. And your touchstone and guide back home.

What if receiving a diagnosis was a call to come back to yourself?
To being with your body the way you KNOW feels better.
To listen and RESPOND to the Knowing inside of you.
To gather information from all the places (providers, family, friends, internet, etc) and filter it all through the Wisdom that already resides within you.
All symptoms and illness and diagnoses are simply data points, here to guide you back home.
To yourself.
You will always be the best, most qualified expert on how to navigate ANY situation.
I am honored to help guide people, especially when they feel lost in a sea of opinions and “facts”.
My role is to be a lighthouse and remind you that YOU are your safe harbor.
Feel into that and all the decisions will come with clarity and ease.

Herbs…
They’ve been used since the beginning of times…
To heal body, mind and heart.
While we were in London, we had the chance to visit the worlds oldest operating theater, complete with its own herbal apothecary. It was steeped with plant medicine and centuries of wisdom.
There was a copy of The Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, a new resource to “cut through the ignorance and corruption of the medical field “. Since 1823, this publication continues to be a resource for providers to learn about new therapies and determine which therapies can best help their patients.
We also saw a Chinese medicine shop dating from 1689, reminding me that natural therapeutics have been employed (successfully!) from time immemorial.
What might you discover from your lineage that would serve you today?

Over the past 6 weeks I have been treating a lot of migraines.

What is fascinating to me is that no 2 were alike. The presentation of symptoms was different. Their origins were totally unrelated. And therefore, the treatment varied for each person.

One of the beauties of naturopathic medicine is that we have so many tools to choose from. Also, one of our core tenants is to "Treat the Cause" and "Treat the Whole Person".

In order to create an effective treatment plan, for any illness or disease, it is essential to understand WHY these symptoms are manifesting in the body in this moment and how we can support the body to release this stress and strain.

If you're ready to dive into your health and be honored as the unique individual that you already are, message me and let's connect! 💖💖💖

Receiving a message like this from one of my clients is…
Inspiring
Affirming
Honoring
If there is something that is holding you back from living your FULLEST LIFE - I’m including the stuff you don’t even let yourself consider anymore (you know what I mean!)…. It doesn’t have to be this way.
YOU can heal.
Your body, nervous system, heart and spirit can restore and rejuvenate.
No matter what.
We need more of your light. More of your truest Essence pouring through. The gifts that only you can offer…
Type “yes!” In comments below and we’ll set you up with a free 1:1 consult with me and we can talk about how to get started…

Lots of people are reporting feeling fried lately.

Like there's too much to do, and not enough time to do it.

But what if there was another way?

What if you could find pleasure in each moment? What if what you choose to do today is actually, literally enough?

If you felt more ease in your system at home and at work, how might that impact your health and well-being????
