Look I’m not going to lie to you, but when I first heard about “the 7 chakras” and meditation I thought it was all just an imaginary “whoo-hoo” waste of time. However- the first time I have done a chakra balancing meditation I was completely blown away. My entire body was tingling, and I felt better than I have in YEARS. Since doing these meditations and balancing, I haven’t really been sick or in much pain again. It’s also a fantastic way to raise your vibration. The whole universe is made up of energy, and the physical body is no different.  Ancient cultures called the centers of energ ..read more

Now that the first month of 2022 is almost over, I thought I’d check in and ask how everyone’s “New Year’s Resolutions” are coming along? Fun fact: January 17th is actually known as “Quitters Day” or “Ditch New Year’s Resolutions Day”. Because it’s the time most “new year, new me” participants officially give up.  Usually after deciding (realizing) they’ve made a horrible mistake by committing to (fill in the blank). Anyway- I always encourage my clients to rather try setting some realistic goals, something to look forward to instead of seemingly-impossible-hard-to-achieve resolutions ..read more

It’s SPRING CLEANING time! PRINTABLE SPRING CLEANING CHECKLIST & TIPS As soon as March hits, I already start thinking about spring cleaning. After the winter, I am very excited to get those windows wide open and get some fresh air in the house. There’s nothing like smelling the rain , fresh cut grass and hearing the birds chirping outside.  Remember – cleaning and organizing changes the vibration of your space and environment, so if you are trying to manifest some awesome things- just know that dirt and clutter will stand in your way.

Hey Ladies (and Gents of course!), grab a glass of wine, (or coffee or whatever floats your boat!) put up your feet and take a few minutes to read your prescription for self-love! We are living in a strange time and place right now, and we tend to put ourselves last.  “To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh” Let me paint you a little picture of how my life used to be:  I was bullied in school.

5 Reasons why having a baby at 40 rocks! Let me tell you my story about how my life changed after having a baby at 40 years old:  It’s a hot Saturday afternoon- summer of 2019.

This “imaginary tone” is what we call a binaural beat. Binaural beats were designed to put your brain into a meditative state. First of all: Do not to listen to b ..read more
