 Maintaining my mental wellbeing can be a challenge. It has been rough dealing with the ups and downs throughout my life. One minute I am in a chipper mood, and the next I'm feeling down and out. I know that having the right mindset is the first step towards having a better day. So I continue to work on it and encourage my clients as well.  Allowing the mind to be filled with thoughts of fear or dread will only keep you in that mental state. I don’t allow myself to stay there too long as it keeps me from being the amazing person I truly am. I’m getting better and better each day by starting with a few deep breaths and then taking time to mention what I am most grateful for in that moment. I take the first opportunity in the morning when I first wake up.  I speak it into the universe, “good morning, thank you for allowing me to wake up and here's to trying again, thank you for my health, my son, my family, thank you for the sun, for water, food, electricity…”   My lis...

 How can I help heal my body?  Hydrate your Health and Wellness Stay hydrated and lubricated for optimal mental health, gut health, joint health, skin, and hair health, and overall wellness!  Drink clean water with a balanced amount of natural electrolytes and minerals. Remember balance and all things in moderation is key. Your body needs a balanced ph alkalinity versus acidity in certain instances so don’t go overboard with alkaline water!  My rule of thumb is to drink half of my body weight in ounces each day, or at least 10 cups of mostly water and some water-based products such as tea.  I’ve chosen to avoid alcohol, processed sugary drinks, or coffee and instead stick to green teas and herbal beverages when I need caffeine. Changing my water has transformed my overall wellness.   Click here 👉  Learn the benefits of water , understand the benefits of clean mineralized water, and the type of beverages to avoid.

  Did you know that the health of your gut could be influencing your overall well-being?   Ever wonder why you don’t get the same results as someone else you may know who has tried some fad diet or gym workout promising results?   Exercise, healthcare, diets, and life, in general, are not one-size-fits-all, and frankly what works for someone else may not work for you… and guess what, that’s attributed to your uniqueness!    We all have our very own unique microbiome, aka your bowel/gut community of microbes, or microorganisms that exist and carry out major functions within you to make you the unique individual that you are! We are built by our biome communities including the gut microbiome, but there's also our oral microbiome, which influences our digestive process starting in the mouth, and our skin microbiome which is our first line of defense resisting on the largest organ of the body... our skin. In my free Gut Health webinar , I provide a more detailed bu...

Finding out that I was pregnant was a joyful moment. I had all of the butterfly feelings in my stomach, eager and ready to embrace the journey of being pregnant again. We had our challenges unknowingly, trying to conceive for almost a year.   I knew something was different this time, I had actually remembered the day when I ovulated and what I felt that day. So when I saw my positive pregnancy test I was thrilled. I had recently found out my sex hormones were low, cortisol through the roof and I was feeling tired and  all out of whack, but somehow 2-3 weeks into some lifestyle changes and supplements, I was pregnant. I was ready to now start a new journey with my second child. It was a blessing and I was humbled. I felt grateful thinking I’d had a hard time doing this, but I fixed whatever my problems were. I did it again and that felt great.                          Then there were the stresses: all that we h...

Are you having trouble sleeping? 💤💤 Have you tried meditation, affirmations, or mindset work but can’t get the results you want?  I was once in your shoes, and I know how exhausting it can be to find a new wellness routine you can count on. Imagine if you could enjoy better sleep, less stress, and more energy on a daily basis. What would you be able to accomplish? What kind of life would you live? Chances are… you’d be able to do some pretty incredible things AND feel good doing them. If you’re nodding and thinking “yes, please tell me how”😜 – you’re in luck. If you haven’t heard of BrainTap, it’s an app and accompanying headset that makes it easy to enter the deepest states of meditation with no conscious effort. It’s made me less stressed, more focused, and has given me some of the best sleep I’ve experienced in years.  It literally feels like I’m taking a vacation for my brain (that’s how relaxing it is)💆🧠. The best part is, it requires no conscious effort on your end...

Check-in: "Do you enjoy sexy time?" Having a lack of desire, fear, or shame in expressing your desires creates anxiety, repression, and depression. Growing up I received mixed messages about sexual health. I learned early about my body and had an appreciation for it, but still, there was this shame, this fear of exploring and empowering my comfort and desires. I knew well how to please my man, and even what I liked but wasn’t able to openly express and experience it freely. Over and over I find my sex drive on a tangent whether it’s from increased stress, my husband’s stress, now having a son who is always around, hormones imbalanced so I’m either not exactly in the mood, or worse; I shame myself for even having sexual desires because of the current circumstances. After having my son, I’ve gone through tremendous body changes, hormonal imbalances, and other experiences that have all impacted my self-esteem. I used to be energized and ready to go jump on it in a heartbeat, wit...
