Big news from Wellness & Bodywork by Abby Ricardo — our natural deodorant is officially in the testing phase!

After months of developing a formula that’s gentle, effective, and free of baking soda irritants, we’ve completed our first round of test deodorants.

This is a limited testing phase which we have some people testing for us, their input will directly shape the final product.

We’re building something real here — clean, natural, and made with the same care I bring to every part of this wellness journey. Stay tuned, because sales are coming soon. 💚

An excerpt from
Our Unique Body: A Weight Loss Guide

On the road to a successful weight loss journey, this page leans further from strict calorie guidelines. To put it simply, most people overwhelm themselves with the amount of details they are fed from outside sources and often forget how far simple habitual practices can go.

By doing so, this chapter introduces a measure of ratios for eating the best nutritional and balanced meals that your body can use most efficiently. The following pages are more in depth and provide examples, but by implementing this framework into your daily life every action will fall into place naturally.

From that point on, you won’t be stuck wondering what decisions are beneficial or non-beneficial because you will have already accrued enough experience to make ethical eating habits inherently.

As a licensed massage therapist, I’ve worked with so many clients who come in holding their whole life in their neck and shoulders.

Tension headaches. Chronic migraines. The kind of pain that makes you cancel plans, miss work, and feel like you’re constantly letting people down.

I see you. I’ve been you.
The bodywork piece is real — and it’s something most people aren’t told about when they leave a doctor’s office with a prescription.

You have more options than you think. 💚

3 things that actually reduced my migraine frequency

1) Regular massage therapy — not just for relaxation, but specifically targeting the neck, shoulders, and base of the skull where tension builds

2) Cutting out processed seed oils and adding more anti-inflammatory foods

3) Tracking my triggers — sleep, stress, food, hormones — so I stopped being blindsided

None of these are magic. But together, they changed everything for me.
Save this post for the next time a headache starts creeping in. 💚

I spent most of my early 20s in pain.
Not occasional headaches. Every. Single. Day. Some were manageable. Some were a 10 out of 10 where nothing helped and I couldn’t function.

I tried medication after medication. One caused such severe weight loss it became dangerous. Another was a narcotic — and while it worked, that wasn’t the life I wanted.

I’m sharing this because I know someone reading this right now knows exactly what I’m talking about.

This week I’m going to share what finally helped me. No fluff. Just what’s real.

Tell me — do you struggle with migraines or chronic headaches?

When most deodorants on the market are designed out of mass production, they are wastefully made and manufactured using harmful chemicals.

Ours is locally made from ingredients that come from natural sources.🪴
Proven to keep your body smelling great for long periods of time. 😊

Have you ever felt like something was off with your diagnosis but didn't know how to speak up?

In this week's episode of Wellness Without Shame, I sat down with the incredible Ellen Price Lubensky — who spent 20 years on medication after a misdiagnosis, navigated the difficult process of tapering off her meds, and learned to advocate fiercely for herself along the way.

Her story is raw, real, and so important. If you've ever felt unheard in a medical setting or wondered if there's a different path forward for you, this episode is for you.
