Hi! It’s been a while 🫣

I’m Sasha and I’m a Nutritional Therapy and Restorative Wellness (Level 1) Practitioner. My passion for helping people and love for holistic nutrition and wellness is what ultimately led me down this path after feeling lost for a long time.

My health wasn’t always great, in fact, most of my life was spent starving myself to meet unrealistic weight loss goals. I spent 5 years on and experimenting with fad diets, including - all which led me to dealing with chronic , digestive issues, unbalanced (my period went MIA for almost a year), weight loss resistance and skin issues ( and ).

It wasn’t until I took a approach to my and that things really started to change for me and my goal is to support anyone who might be on a similar health journey.

I take a no BS approach (pardon my French) to health and wellness. I won’t try to sell you on magical green powders or supplements that will “balance your hormones” or “detox” teas (aka laxatives 🥴) or meal replacement shakes.

My goal is to get to the root of the issue/dysfunction and support that, n a t u r a l l y.

If that’s your jam, you’re in the right place ❤️

I’ll start by saying that I recognize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight for better health, prioritizing movement, and the significance between greater muscle mass and longevity. 💪🏻

There is nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight… HOWEVER, the number on the scale is not a full indicator of health. It’s only ONE small piece of the puzzle. 🧩

Up until ~3 years ago, I was on a weight rollercoaster 🎢 going to extreme measures just to lose the pounds. What I learned is weight gain is not always associated with over eating, rather foundational imbalances within the systems of the body that lead to metabolic dysfunction.

Have you ever thought about how digestive health plays a role? Or blood sugar? Or hormones?

If losing weight is your goal, yet you’re ignoring these signs that your body is giving you, it’s time to reassess.

*Sleep: Wake up often? Hard time falling asleep? Wake up feeling sluggish + tired? 💤

*Energy: Our energy naturally dips in between meals but needing 3 cups of coffee ☕️ or energy drinks to function should not be the norm.

*Satisfaction: Not feeling satisfied after a meal? Get hungry 30 min to an hour later? Major cravings for sweet, salty or junk food? 🍭

*Healthy relationship w/food: Fear or anxiety when it comes to eating? Obsessed with weighing, tracking and counting calories? 😖

*Hair, skin, nails: Hair falling out? Skin issues? Thin nails that break easily? 💅🏻

*Digestion: Bloating? Abdominal pain? Constipation or diarrhea? Nausea? If you’re not having a least one solid p**p a day, there could be a deeper issue at play. 💩

*(ladies) Regular + pain free periods: Irregular timing, debilitating pain, vomiting, nausea, etc. surrounding your period is NOT normal. 🩸

*Self love + acceptance: Probably the most important of all. Accept that every body is unique and love yourself where you are at while sustainably working towards a healthy weight goal that is right for YOU. 🤍

In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang represent duality and these opposite forces together create a state of equilibrium. ☯️

This concept can be applied to fitness + movement and the need for balance and moderation.

This is where the two opposite practices of VINYASA (flow) and YIN come into play.

Don’t know where to start?

VINYASA or FLOW yoga is active and energizing ☀️

YIN yoga is slow and restorative 🌙

In combination, these two practices are a perfect compliment to every other physical activity + movement and in my personal opinion - absolutely needed!

Interested in practicing with me ? I offer both group classes and private 1:1 sessions. ✨ 🧘🏻‍♀️ ✨

One of my yoga students asked me last night why I became a yoga teacher and I reflected on that a lot today and thought I’d share my “why”.

I’m not your traditional yoga teacher, even though I went through a traditional yoga teacher training in Bali. I don’t teach ✨ spiritual ✨ yoga (no disrespect to those that do). I focus on MOVEMENT & BREATH - a powerful combo.

I fell in love with yoga ~8 years ago because of the way it made me FEEL. The way I learned to work *with* my breath - learning to tap into that for both strength and calm. I learned to embrace stillness, and reallyyy pay attention and that slowly trickled into my everyday life. 

When I did normal mundane things like drive my car, I was calmer, more at ease… when I was having conversations, with people, I was truly present and listening. The chronic back pain that I had dealt with for years slowly began to dissipate. My posture and my body started to change. That’s what kept me coming back to my mat. 

〰️ GET OUT OF THE HEAD AND INTO THE BODY 〰️- is my motto.

Never in a million years did I EVER think I would teach yoga. Since I was a child, I had a MAJOR fear of public speaking, even as an adult. I am so incredibly grateful for my very first yoga teacher, Sandy, who encouraged me to teach. I faced and overcame a huge fear of mine that allowed me to truly embrace my voice. 

Some people will be drawn to my style of teaching, and others not so much and that’s okay. There is space for all of us regardless. 🙏🏻

My goal is to serve those who are looking for a teacher like me, to help you build strength and confidence, improve balance, flexibility and range of motion, to help you S L O W down and tap into your body’s ability to restore itself. 

I have some exciting new things in the works. Stay tuned. 💖

Some people cringe at the thought of New Year's resolutions but I *personally* find a newfound sense of inspiration around this time of year to reflect and set goals for the new year.

If getting fit and healthy in 2023 is your goal, I’m here for it! 🙌🏻

There is NO SHAME in setting a goal to lose weight this year, no shame in wanting to clean up your diet, and no shame in wanting to put your health first.

Here are some things that are worth leaving behind in 2022 to set you up for your healthiest year ever. ✨

❌ STARVATION DIETS ❌
If you want to lose weight, eating salads all day, skipping meals or eating 1,200 calories IS NOT IT. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Be mindful of fad diets and “challenges” that will call for your attention around this time that only further perpetuate disordered eating habits. The goal should be to eat in a way that is SUSTAINABLE while NOURISHING you year round, not just 21 days.

❌ PUNISHING YOURSELF WITH EXERCISE ❌
You don’t "need" to run an extra mile or push yourself to workout for another hour just because you ate the ice cream. Commit to a healthy eating plan and movement/exercise regime and stick with it regardless. Once you learn that ingredients and quality matter, you’ll want to eat less junk and find healthier alternatives.

❌ TOXIC SKIN & BODY CARE PRODUCTS ❌
Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it - so yes this matters. Most skin and body care products - including cosmetics, are toxic containing ingredients that are known carcinogens, heavy metals, and chemicals that contribute to major imbalances in the body.

❌ SLEEP DEPRIVATION ❌
Parents and those with irregular work schedules - I HEAR YOU! 📣 I realize that having a daily set sleeping schedule is a luxury. As always, do the best you can within your circumstance. Ideally, adults should aim for ~7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night. 😴 💤

I’ve always loved learning about different natural health modalities and often find bits and pieces of information that overlap with what I’ve learned about health and over the years.

I never formally studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, but was introduced to the philosophy by my mom who has been incorporating Chinese medicine with her clients for over 10+ years.

Remember that symptoms are not root causes but are simply a piece of the puzzle that point back to foundational imbalances.

Organ systems don’t work independently, rather they are a complex system that work together to create or equilibrium in the body.

Aside from addressing nutrient/mineral deficiencies and focusing on a nutrient dense whole foods diet, a few tips to support the liver are:

-MOVE your body = move stagnant energy 🏃🏻‍♀️

-Get enough SLEEP, ideally ~7-9 hours a night (the body detoxes while we sleep!) 😴

-Limit exposure to TOXINS - easier said than done, I know (alcohol, drugs, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, etc.) ⚠️

-Manage STRESS (it directly impacts the organ systems) 🧘🏻‍♀️

-Avoid large meals at least ~2-3 hours before going to bed 🥘

-Limit EXCESSIVE dietary fats (the more fat we consume, the harder the liver has to work) 🧈

Improving liver health doesn’t happen overnight, but when you are committed to your health and longevity, the choice to start making changes right away should be a no brainer 😉

Which of the liver symptoms shocked you the most?

As part of my training I learned about the magical and its detox processes, but it wasn’t till after when I came across the work of Naturopathic Doctor Garrett Smith and his expertise on all things related to the liver, that I realized it’s true importance.

Specifically it being the missing puzzle piece and the cause as to why SO many people are suffering with subpar health and chronic illness.

The more I learn about it, the more I realize how overlooked it can be and how *critical* it is that we care for it, ESPECIALLY In our increasingly world. 🌎

The liver acts as a “gateway to the body” and its systems can become easily overloaded.

The liver has over 500 functions AND has the incredible capacity to regenerate itself after sustaining damage.

WOW - mind blowing. 🤯

In case it’s not apparent, your liver does a lot and is working 24/7, 365 days a year to keep things in . BUT it cannot run on thin air. It requires energy, which requires nutrients to perform optimally.

If we want to and truly live your healthiest BEST life, addressing the liver FIRST is crucial - in combination with assessing diet and lifestyle of course.

Otherwise, on your search for answers for healing, you’ll find yourself running around in circles.

*If your goal is to:

- Lose weight and maintain it
- Address imbalances and issues
- Say goodbye to , and skin problems
- Heal your digestive system
- Support your blood sugar
- Improve your energy and sleep
- Manage and even prevent conditions and certain cancers

THEN…. The first step on your health journey should be to address your liver health.

How? By giving it the nutrients it requires to enhance its detox functions and by reducing the toxicity load and exposure.

If you’re looking for support in any of these areas, send a DM to see how I can help or for more info about my Nutritional Therapy services.

When it comes to improving our health or reaching a health goal, we expect results to happen quickly. In a world full of instant gratification, it makes sense why we might feel inclined to this mindset. The reality is, there is no such thing as a quick fix. 🙅🏻‍♀️

I believe in taking a holistic approach to healing, *not* the masking of symptoms using pharmaceutical drugs - which only perpetuates disease.

〰️ HEALING TAKES TIME 〰️

There’s no sugar coating it, it’s hard work… until those new habits become your new way of life.

The first step in deciding that you want to take control of your health is empowering in itself. 🙌🏻

As you begin your journey and do the work, you’ll notice small progress that will spark the fire within you. 🔥

You might even take a few steps back, before you realize it’s time to move forward again. We’re human and setbacks will happen.

The real magic happens when you continue to do the work. Showing up for yourself day after day, even when everything inside of you is telling you to fall back into old habits.

You’ll be faced with making sacrifices and better choices that will sustain the life and health you are aiming for.

Ask yourself, are YOU worth it? 💭

This is such an important reminder. Do not be discouraged when things do not move as quickly as anticipated. Continue to show up for yourself and put in the effort. I assure you that with time, patience and constancy, it gets easier.

Share this with someone who might benefit from this message ✨

Happy Healing 🤍

It might not always be common knowledge that diet and lifestyle is directly related to the health of our skin.

When skin issues arise, conventional medicine may not always take this into account and “treatment” often results in prescribing a pill, a shot, a steroid cream, etc.

Will this “fix” the issue? Simply put, NO. 🚫

‼️Remember skin issues are SYMPTOMS, not a cause.‼️

Taking a holistic approach to skin health means looking at ALL contributing factors (diet, lifestyle, stress, etc.) and addressing the root cause(s).

Having professional support and guidance made all the difference for me on my healing journey. If you feel like you’ve tried it all, or are tired of band aid approaches, then know that there is another way.

It might not be the easy way, and it will take effort on your part. Practitioners cannot wave a magic wand for you, but we give you the tools, support and guidance to take the necessary steps and take control of your health.

Living a healthy life that supports the body is not a temporary quick fix. It must become your way of life if you want to maintain *long lasting* health - and good skin is just a plus. 😉

If you are dealing with a particular skin issue and would like one on one support, or have any questions about my services, shoot me a DM and we can chat.

Skin health is something I’ve struggled with since I was a teen (what a wild rollarcoaster it’s been). My old belief was that having good skin was only affected by what I put ON my skin. Now I know that healthy skin starts from within and is directly related to the health of the body as a whole.

Think of the skin as a reflection of what is happening INSIDE the body. 🪞

Our body communicates to us when something within is out of balance in the form of signs and symptoms. These signs can show up on the skin in many ways, such as recurring breakouts or rashes. Sometimes it can manifest into a more severe skin condition. Some common (but NOT normal) ones include:

❌Acne
❌Eczema
❌Rosacea
❌Dermatitis (perioral, etc.)
❌Hives/rashes
❌Psoriasis

It’s important to look at the health of the skin from an inside perspective and although personal skin/body care products DO matter, there are other aspects to consider:

▫️Diet
▫️Digestion
▫️Hormonal imbalances
▫️Fungal/parasitic infections
▫️Overburdened liver
▫️Blood sugar dysregulation
▫️Stress
▫️Allergies/food sensitivities
▫️Environmental toxins

There is no one magic thing that can make our skin problems go away for good. Topicals, pharmaceutical drugs, birth control, etc. *may* help short term, but the underlying imbalance will still be present, meaning the skin issue will return once you stop using it. Looking at skin health in a holistic way means getting to the root cause of the imbalance and addressing it one step at a time.

The goal when working to improve the health of our skin (and the body) should not be perfection, but sustainable progress to keep our skin and health optimal long term. In nutritional therapy, we focus on balancing the foundations (liver health is HUGE), pin pointing potential triggers and addressing stress and outside factors.

This topic hits close to home for me because of my own experience with perioral dermatitis which I’ll discuss soon. But this message is for anyone who feels like they have tried everything under the sun with little to no success….there is hope. 🌸

DM me if you have any questions regarding my holistic nutrition services or are interested in working 1-on-1 ✨
