Common Myths About Ge***al Herpes:

1. Only people who are promiscuous and irresponsible catch ge***al herpes so if I practice safer s*x in a monogamous relationship, I won’t catch it.

2. Everyone will be afraid of getting intimate with me and I will never have a normal s*x life again because I will have ge***al herpes outbreaks all the time.

3. Most people who have herpes lie to their partners because they are afraid of the stigma.

I believe that a daily practice of self-care is the most important tool to support emotional health and well-being and being in nature is a very healing experience that is available to all of us. Maybe it's not possible to go on a hike daily but this is definitely a tool that is worth adding to your tool box. My favorite place to go hiking is The Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Where is your favorite place to go hiking? Feel free to share a picture if you feel inclined. 🙂

As some of you know, making jewelry is one of my greatest passions! I get lost in it. I feel inspired and it makes me feel good! It’s part on my self-care tool box! The bad news it that, like everyone else, sometimes I neglect to use my tools when I need them the most and life gets harder; the good news is that, today, I made a conscious decision to make my jewelry and look what happened!!! 👏👏👏 I’m so proud of myself! 👏👏👏 What are you passionate about and when was the last time you did it?

The yogi in me is definitely growing roots. I feel that slowly but surely I am becoming who I was meant to be. A strong and fearless woman who is passionate about life, love, and learning and who is committed to transforming her pain and sorrow into love, compassion and radical acceptance for herself and others. If you want to work with a professional who has been there and knows what it takes to come out the other side.

I spoke with the mother who has a young daughter who was diagnosed with ge***al herpes (HSV1) this week. She was talking about how her daughter was an accomplished young adult who was still devastated about her diagnosis 2 years after the fact. She was healthy and experiencing no outbreaks but still devastated.
It always makes me so sad to hear these stories because here is a person who has a virus that ONE THIRD OF THE WORLD POPULATION HAS, yet they feel so devastated and demoralized because society has told them that it's not okay to have herpes and the stigma is so powerful that the pain permeates all aspects of their lives.
I work with people who want to challenge their views on what is herpes get through the pain and make peace with herpes and live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life!

Insight of the day....
"Nothing builds intimacy like shared vulnerability," and fair fighting is the ultimate act of loving intimacy. Indifference is the worst form of punishment so don't ignore your loved ones."

I have been doing some research into areas that I want to specialize in. Turning my practice more into a labor of love.

Today I heard of a dog who died of a broken heart. His owners when on vacation and left him at a cannel and he got sick and died.
Listening the story made me think about the power of love. Often times thought of as corny but very real and universal. LOVE matters and it can hurt and it can heal so let's choose to make a conscious effort to remember how powerful it can be. ❤
