đź’Š National Prescription Take Back Day is this Saturday, October 25!

If you have expired or unused medications at home, this is the perfect time to safely dispose of them. Removing old prescriptions from your cabinets helps prevent misuse and protects our environment. 🌎

The DEA’s Take Back Day makes it easy — just drop off medications at a participating location near you. No questions asked, no cost, and a big step toward a healthier community.

I’m so excited to be attending LM2025! 🌿✨

As someone passionate about the future of integrative and lifestyle medicine, I can’t wait to dive into this incredible learning experience — exploring evidence-based strategies, connecting with like-minded clinicians, and gaining practical tools to bring back to my patients and mentorship community.

The more I learn about lifestyle medicine, the more inspired I am by its power to transform how we approach health and healing. đź’š
If you’ll be there too, let’s connect!

🌿 Why Healing Starts with Letting Go 🌿

So often, we think healing means adding more—more effort, more supplements, more routines. But real healing begins when we release.

When we let go of what’s no longer ours to carry—old stress, self-judgment, expectations—we create space for calm, clarity, and renewal. Letting go isn’t losing yourself. It’s coming home to who you’ve always been. 💫

I’ve been thinking a lot about family wellness lately—how deeply connected our health is to the people we share our lives with. 🌿

When one family member is struggling—whether it’s stress, sleep, digestion, or mood—it often ripples through everyone else. And the opposite is just as true: when one person begins to heal, the entire household shifts. Energy changes. Communication softens. Meals become more nourishing. There’s more laughter, patience, and presence.

Family wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about awareness. It’s about creating a home where everyone feels supported to rest, grow, and thrive. Sometimes that means testing and treating root causes, but often it starts with small daily choices—shared meals, honest conversations, and slowing down together.

If you’re ready to explore how your family’s wellness fits together, you can book with me at theflourishcenter.co 💚

Who knew soluble fiber did so much?

When I see elevated cholesterol in an otherwise healthy person, I often look at soluble fiber first. After your liver sends cholesterol to the gut, it should bind to fiber and leave the body. If fiber is low—especially soluble fiber—some of that cholesterol can be reabsorbed. Boosting soluble fiber can help lower LDL, smooth out blood sugar spikes, support healthy weight, and keep digestion regular.

Easy ways to get more soluble fiber:
Daily habits: ½–1 cup cooked oats, 1–2 Tbsp psyllium, 1–2 Tbsp ground flax or chia, ½–1 cup beans a few times/week
Great sources: oats/oat bran, psyllium husk, flax seeds, nuts; beans (black, navy, kidney, soy); veggies (avocado, brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, asparagus, turnips); fruits (figs, oranges, pears, apricots, nectarines, grapefruit, mangoes)

Small, steady changes make a real difference for heart, metabolic, and gut health. If you’d like personalized support with your cholesterol, schedule a consult with me—I’m here to help. 💚

🍝 It’s Friday, and it just so happens to be National Pasta Day (yes, that’s really a thing!). So let’s celebrate with pasta that’s both healthy and satisfying — made from veggies! 🌿

✨ Zucchini noodles (“zoodles”) are quick and light — just spiralize raw zucchini using a handheld or countertop spiralizer, sauté for 1–2 minutes, and toss with your favorite sauce.
✨ Spaghetti squash transforms beautifully when roasted: cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, bake at 400°F for about 35–40 minutes, then rake the strands with a fork.
✨ Carrot or sweet potato noodles add a little sweetness and color — a spiralizer or julienne peeler makes them easy, and a quick sauté keeps them tender but not mushy.

Top your veggie pasta with olive oil, garlic, pesto, or a simple tomato sauce for a meal that’s nourishing and comforting. 💛

🍂 The Reset Season 🍂

Every fall, I feel this subtle invitation to slow down. The air shifts, the light softens, and my body seems to whisper, “It’s time to reset.”

This is what I call the Reset Season—a natural pause between the fullness of summer and the stillness of winter. It’s a time to check in: What’s been serving me lately? What’s been draining me? What do I need to release before moving forward?

I encourage you to take a few quiet moments this week to listen to your body. Maybe that means journaling with a warm cup of tea, taking a walk without your phone, or simply resting without guilt. 🌿

Remember, rest is a reset. When we stop pushing and start listening, our next steps become clear on their own.

🌱 Wellness Wednesday 🌱

Transformation doesn’t begin with massive change — it begins with a seed. 🌸
When we plant intentions instead of resolutions, we align with the natural rhythm of our bodies and souls. It’s about tending to what you want to feel — peace, vitality, joy — and letting those feelings grow roots.

This week’s blog is all about how to plant your own seeds of intention, nurture them with care, and trust the process of becoming who you’re meant to be. ✨

Today, Oregon celebrates Indigenous Peoples’ Day — a time to honor the original stewards of this land and the living cultures that continue to thrive today. 🌿

I wanted to take a moment to honor the Atfalati, Stl’pulmsh (Cowlitz), Kalapuya, Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and the Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla peoples — the original and ongoing stewards of the land where my practice, The Flourish Center, is located.

You can visit native-land.ca and enter your address to learn more about the Indigenous peoples whose land you live and work on.

May we continue to honor the land, its history, and its peoples — not just today, but every day. 🤍

Tips for Blissful Beauty Sleep This Weekend ✨

This weekend, I’m leaning into true beauty sleep—the kind that restores your body, steadies your mood, and softens the edges of a long week. Think warm light in the evening, an unrushed wind-down, and giving your nervous system a gentle “it’s safe to rest” message. A cozy bath or shower, a mug of lemon balm or chamomile, and a few pages of a calming book can go a long way.

If you like a quick checklist, try this:
• Cut off caffeine by early afternoon.
• Dim lights and screens 60–90 minutes before bed.
• Keep your room cool, dark, and tidy.
• Slow your breathing (about 4–6 breaths per minute).
• Get morning light soon after waking to anchor your sleep clock.

And if you find yourself awake at 3 a.m., don’t wrestle with it—try a short body scan or slip into another room to read something pleasantly boring under low light. Sleep is medicine; treat it like a ritual. 🌙💤

What is Holistic Pelvic Care™?

I think of Holistic Pelvic Care (HPC) as pelvic-floor rehabilitation with a deeply compassionate lens. Many of us are told to “just do Kegels,” yet the pelvic floor is often overworked, guarded, or out of balance. HPC gently helps the body unwind first—then we restore tone.

In a typical session, I combine gentle intravaginal bodywork (fascial/trigger point release) with breathwork and guided awareness to help the pelvic bowl soften, circulate, and reconnect. This work honors the physical, emotional, and energetic layers of the pelvis—your true center.

You might benefit from HPC if you’re noticing:
Pelvic pain, heaviness, or tailbone discomfort
Pain with s*x or decreased sensation/libido
Leaking with cough/laugh/exercise
Symptoms of prolapse or recurrent UTIs
Scar-tissue tenderness (birth, surgery)
Menstrual discomfort or perimenopause changes
Postpartum recovery needs or fertility support
A desire to feel more connected to your body’s root

You don’t need a “problem” to begin—HPC is also beautiful preventive care. Clients often describe feeling grounded, clearer in their boundaries, and more at home in their bodies.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to support your pelvic health journey. 🌿
