As a certified holistic life coach I often tell people that wounded people will wound people if they are not healed. The wounded have conditioned behaviors and responses that will persist if they do not heal. Oftentimes the wounded will use that very trauma as an excuse to justify their behaviors and responses that they know deep inside or not right. The wounded one must sit and deal with all the "feels" that are related to that hurt or that drama in order to release it and heal. Sometimes it forgiveness and other time it's accountability or both. It's a journey but it's worth it for the transformation and rebirth that comes after. And remember-it's THEIR journey not yours and you cannot heal them.

Practice self care dear ones when dealing with such wounded souls~Barbara 🙏💜

Added Sleep Science Coach to my repertoire . Will be facilitating a sleep essential oil class this summer where you can learn all the sleep hacks and why sleep is the most important thing you do everyday. Each person that comes the class will have a folder of hacks essential oil samples and a red light night light. Red light does not interfere with melatonin levels at night. Also in the class you will learn how to make a sleep pillow spray or a sleep roll on and make it and take it home with you for a good night's sleep that night. Class to be announced very soon .

A recent study shows that children growing up with electronics and exposed to screen time have less gray matter in their brains. This is startling! Now consider the following;.
Steve Jobs (while he was the CEO of Apple) said he would NEVER give his children an i-pad ... and then he proceeded to tell the masses to NEVER give their children an i-pad .... because "they are too dangerous and addictive for developing brains" ....
Steve was the driving force behind the conception, design and marketing force of the ipad and the CEO of one of the largest tech companies in the world. .
Steve sent his daughter to a Waldorf school ... which emphasizes creativity and prohibits screen technology, focusing on human-centered development over digital, screen-based learning.
Pierre Laurent (former Microsoft and Intel executive)said basically the same thing .... and sent his 3 children to a Steiner school to stop them being exposed to 'screen time' in their developmental years.
​
And here's a hypothesis: if children growing up with screen time messes up their brains and reduces gray matter in their brains and dementia is increasing in adults what if it's doing something similar to everybody not just children . What if we all just stopped using our phones and laptops and IPads as much as we do and maybe have a day of nothing but connecting and reconnecting to our life rather than the artificial one in our phones .

Did you know: Freezing bread has a health perk. While freezing bread preserves it longer, when bread is frozen, some of the starch changes into what is called resistant starch. Resistant starch is not digested the same way but instead feeds beneficial gut bacteria and can help with steadier blood sugar. Toasting from frozen keeps great texture and flavor while reducing waste.

Consider a private group sound bath at the The Zen Loft with you and your friends. A bridal party? A soul gathering with soul sisters? Supporting a beloved on a wellness journey? Communal healing is an amazing way to share in the healing vibes while supporting the bonds of family, friendship or community. Messaging me to schedule a private group sound bath.

I'm so happy you stopped by. As a Holistic Life Coach I offer Hosting Wellness Classes that include group "Make & Takes" so that you leave with tools, info and an essential oil product you made to help you, whether the class is about sleep, anxiety or a host of other issues or goals.
I also, as a certified Integral Sound Therapist, offer Sound Therapy sessions either in group settings or in a private session that corrects your internal frequencies that provided calming therapeutic enjoyment using crystal bowls, gong and/or tuning forks. After all we are energy, the body electric!
Also, in one-on-one holistic sessions, as a certified holistic life coach, I guide clients to overcome challenges, change behaviors, and achieve valued goals. Through patient listening, validation, and rethinking, clients get clear on where their passion lies and what their true choices are to leading a healthy lifestyle. Holistic life coaches do not give advice but instead draw out the clients own inner wisdom. By honoring and integrating body, mind, and Spirit, the client is able to reach maximum success and personal growth. Sound therapy and aromatherapy can be integrated into a session.
As a certified Aromatherapist I have retail offerings of the best Young Living essential oil based products on that planet that covers you every need: household, beauty, baby, health & wellness to the precious bottles of essential oils themselves.
These are just some of the wonderful healing offerings at Your True North.
I believe the very best of us can be found where that compass points us - North.
I believe we need to return to living life from the “inside-out” as a child does, from the soul-self. Like a child does until the out world envelopes them with social and world pressures and ideas, the child then becomes the adult living “outside-in”. This creates a block or distance from soul-self.
“Inside” is where our authentic soul-self resides, free of low frequency, negative inner chatter, emotional woes and the inner burdens that are often self-imposed based on the "outside" influence. And the soul’s compass points north. I believe the very best of us can be found where that compass points us - North. ©
It is quite the journey but is amazing and I am humbled to assist you. My goal is to empower you, not just help you. You already have within you, the soul power…the compass of YOUR True north.
Let me help you to rediscover your soul self…your soul power and empower you to recalibrate it.

A friendly reminder! 👇🙏💜

As I always say: They say trust your gut and follow your heart but no one's ever said-trust or follow your brain.
So get out of your noggin and start listening to what your heart and gut intuition says and the more you listen, you will then realize the brain will sabotage what they both know to be true. 🙏💜
