Joyful Holistic Living - Loving God and Loving Life

Spending time outside is very important for our health and wellness.

When soaking up sunshine, we encourage the body to create the hormone, vitamin D. This important nutrient can help with increasing bone strength, improving immune function, and lifting up your mood. Sunshine can also help improve serotonin levels, which can help improve your mood. Being out in the sun helps regulate melatonin levels for improved sleep.

When in the forest, we breathe in phytoncydes. This is a chemical that plants give off to protect themselves from insects. Phytoncydes have antibacterial and antifungal qualities. Breathing in this chemical can help improve the immune system.

And finally, when we spend time outside barefoot we absorb the Earth's nourishing energy. Earthing/grounding can help with improving inflammation in the body. It can help with cardiovascular issues, blood sugar levels, issues with autoimmunity, depression, issues with dementia, cancer, and autism. Earthing can help to extinguish the silent flames of inflammation.

None of the above activities are standalone cures, but they all are ways to help with healing the body in a holistic approach. You may be working with a medical doctor or going fully natural with the assistance of a holistic practitioner - either way, spending time outside should be a part of your healing process.

What does a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner who specializes in somatic healing do? I work with the nervous system to help your body start the healing process.

I consider the nervous system as the top of the waterfall. Once this system starts to heal, other organ systems can fall into place.

I have several certifications and trainings in holistic/natural health modalities. I offer lifestyle change recommendations, craniosacral work, somatic yoga, mind-body integration techniques and more to help you help your body heal.

I'm a craniosacral practitioner who loves getting work done on myself. A craniosacral session leaves me feeling rested, refreshed, and energized. Immediately after the session I feel quiet - as if I'm waking up from a good nap. Then, for the rest of the day I have focused energy.

Sometimes craniosacral work can pull emotions out that have been hiding deep within. It is important to acknowledge the emotions as they happen and seek out counseling to work through things.

I always pair my craniosacral sessions for my clients with Bach Flower Remedies to help with emotional balancing.

We use basic beginner poses and focus more on how the movement feels in the body than perfect form.

I am a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner who specializes in somatic healing. When you schedule a consultation with me, you benefit from my holistic health education with an emphasis on healing the emotions through physical movement.

I believe we can't fully physically heal until we balance ourselves emotionally and mentally.
