7 Things To Create More Peace, Ease & Health In Your Autumn

Posted on September 3, 2018March 7, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

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.

Sleep. It Does A Body Good.

Posted on April 27, 2018March 7, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

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.

Self-Care Kitchari Week

Posted on December 3, 2017March 7, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

It’s the holiday season.
That means indulgences, eating lots of different kinds of foods, drinks, staying out late, packed schedules and rush, rush, rush!
So, where is the time for self care? Sometimes it’s nowhere to be found.
And yet, this is the time of year where I feel I need MORE self care & MORE of a “reboot” mind, body and spirit.
So, before the holidays really take off…I’m doing a week devoted to self-care. Would you like to join me?

This is what MY WEEK is going to look like, but you can do any variation or combination that suits YOUR schedule and needs. You can even start next week if you like. You’re the boss.

So, It’s Kapha Season. What Does That Mean?

Posted on March 25, 2017March 17, 2025by Jupiter's Labyrinth

Kapha (pronounced ‘Kah-pah’ in Sanskrit) is the dosha (energy/body type) that contains the 2 elements water and earth. What to do get when you put earth and water together? Mud. This illustrates the energy of Kapha perfectly. It’s dense, wet, heavy and cool. Think of the little green sprouts slowly waking up beneath the earth’s […]

It’s All In the Gut Part III

Posted on January 30, 2017January 30, 2017by Jupiter's Labyrinth

Although we chuckle at digestive malfunctions like burping & farting, they are just that… Most of us have taken on the belief that these things just happen and it happens to everyone. While it is true that most people experience these symptoms on a regular basis, they are infact a sign of digestive imbalance and […]

My Love Of Stinging Nettle, The Neti Pot & Cheese

Posted on January 24, 2017November 29, 2017by Jupiter's Labyrinth

It’s true. I love cheese. I’ve tried and tried to break up with it, but I just don’t think I have it in me. Or maybe I do have it in me, but just wouldn’t want to live life without it. Yes, I’m that dramatic when it comes to my love of food. Although I […]
