SO MUCH DRAMA! And I get it. Before I really understood Mercury retrograde, I was pretty freaked too. And yes, if you’re unaware of the energies of Mercury when it’s retrograde, it can definitely bring some major challenges in your life. BUT, if you prepare, and understand where to focus during this time, Mercury can be on your side, I promise.

Prayers Instead Of Curses
Feeling wronged, betrayed, abandoned, hurt, rejected, discriminated against, judged, criticized or even violated… life brings us lots of situations, traumas & people who are just downright unpleasant. They are horrible to experience, and more often than not, they are hard to let go of. Things can fester. We hold on to beliefs about situations & people that maybe even aren’t our own, but have been absorbed by another. We replay these painful experiences in our minds. Experiences that make us fearful or angry or sad & alone. We hold on to grudges & we gossip about the people who made us feel bad. We often project hateful & negative thoughts & emotions about the individuals we feel we feel wronged us.
When In Doubt… Listen
In every single session I’ve had with a client, one practice is brought up time and time again…. Meditation. Wait! Stop!

OR Meditation is for hippies or I fall asleep, or I’m not Buddhist”… or any other excuse your mind is giving you to navigate away from this page… I beg you to hear me out.
If you’re picturing someone sitting in lotus pose on a mountain chanting “OM” and think that is the only way to meditate…thankfully you’re wrong lol! There are so many different ways to meditate- some simple and some complex, but all super effective.
Effective for what you might ask? Why the heck would you want to meditate at all
The Gateway To Real Change
As human beings it seems we are constantly striving for something more. Something different. Something better. Something bigger. Something healthier. Something more impressive. Something to make us feel more accomplished.

7 Things To Create More Peace, Ease & Health In Your Autumn
1.Check In With Your Hydration & Not Just Water.
Are you drinking 1/2 your healthy body weight of pure filtered water in ounces each day? Are you loading up on your healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, nut butters, oils (unrefined coconut, olive, etc), wild salmon, cod, sardines, spirulina & supplementing with Omega 3? Hydration of water & fats is sooooo important especially when we’re moving into Autumn or Vata Season. Our environment becomes cooler & drier as the season presses toward Winter, and so do we. Staying lubricated is a must for getting ahead of cold and flu season with a strong immune system.
Can We Truly Avoid Non-GMO Foods 100% ?
The history of genetically modified foods (and organisms) is a long and complex one. The role of Monsanto (a corporation that began in 1901) in the creation of GMO seeds & the well known Round-Up herbicide as well as the chemical weapon agent orange (yes, agent orange) is also an ENORMOUSLY long topic to touch upon here. So if you’re not so familiar with either Monsanto or GMO’s please cozy up with some tea and check these documentaries out for free on YouTube below to get you up to speed on why may folks would like to avoid GMOs in their foods:
Sleep. It Does A Body Good.
As much as you might hate to hear it, you need to sleep. We all, as human beings need to sleep. Without it, we’ll literally perish.
Since I’ve heard many of my friends, family & clients mentioning their sleep woes lately, I thought I’d share some of my favorite “good sleep” tips here.
Don’t Worry, No One Has Their $hit Together.
I’m sorry but it’s just the truth.
Life is filled with ups & downs, blessings and challenges and no one can have it ALL FIGURED OUT, all of the time.
It’s just plain impossible.
How could we grow & evolve in life, if the metaphorical waves didn’t capsize us once in awhile?
But “Where is this all coming from?” you may be thinking to yourself. Well I’ll tell you.
This past year & moving into 2018, has brought with it many personal challenges in my life. Some I’ve shared with you, and some I’ve not.
This new year has continued to push me & brought me to a place of yearning to be more and more real, authentic and unapologetic to where I am on my path.
Why Herbs Don’t Work
3 Points On Why Herbs Don’t Work.
No, it’s not the herb’s fault.
It’s social medias fault. It’s every herbal advertisement’s fault. It’s every practitioner that generalizes fault. It’s every blog post & article that claims that X herb is good for Y because they used it and it worked.
Just like every person on this planet is highly unique & individualized in their make up & personality, so is every herb. Each herb on this planet is equally unique in it’s make up, properties & energetic qualities AND how it will work in an individuals body.
Some herbs are warming, stimulating and activating. While other herbs are cooling, astringent & drying.
