To Heal Others, We Must First Heal Ourselves

I've been thinking a lot about this one lately. It's something that keeps coming up for me over the years with my family and often with clients that are on their healing path. As people heal and get well, of course they want the same for their loved ones. I get questions like, “So what am I going to do about my kids? What am I going to do about my husband? They're still not eating well. What can I possibly do?”  Or I hear, “I'm clearing out all this energy and I see things differently. What can I do about my partner?”

Many of us go there.  I know that I have in the past.

Establishing simple daily practices to support your wellness is an incredible way to shift towards a happier, healthier you this year.  I’ve developed this list based on feedback from clients and from what I have observed in my family. I chose these because they are high impact, and a great way to jump start your wellness plan, but require very little to start. Each of these practices is simple, free (or very affordable), and easy to integrate into your daily practice. I use these practices in my daily life and with my children because they are so easy and accessible. Try these for a week to increase your energy, improve sleep, improve your skin, ease your digestion and more. You should experience an improvement in your overall sense of wellness and well-being.  Enjoy!

How I Healed My Breast Cysts Naturally

Finding a breast lump is scary business. I’d like to start this post by acknowledging the absolute terror of that experience along with gratitude that it wasn’t cancer.  I am well and happy to be sharing this story with all of you. Recently, I found two lumps, one large and one small. Though I had also found several small lumps in the past, they were never anything like this, as those turned out to be fibrocystic tissue.  

​These lumps were definitely different. One of them was huge, and there was no question that it was there and it was real. The morning after I found it, I even had a friend check it for me. After feeling it, she shrieked and jumped away from me. She acted how I felt...scared.

I get asked regularly what I keep around the house to prevent or treat illness and injury.  Even in a healthy home, kids get sick, and with four athletes in the home, we have our fair share of injuries!

Below is a list of what I always have on hand along with some usage tips. The truth is, I have many more remedies at home as I need them for my work, but these are the ones that I use the most.  You can treat many illnesses, injuries and emotional needs with the list below and each one has many more uses than I could ever list here! In addition to the list below, I have found that a whole foods diet, low in grains, dairy, and sugar, helps to keep us well. Don't forget that food is medicine! Try putting together your own natural "medicine" cabinet. I think you’ll be amazed at how much healthier you’ll be and how much time and money you’ll save on doctors visits and prescriptions.

The Healing Power of Forgiveness

​I’m doing my own deep personal work this season around forgiveness. I’ve experienced trauma and loss in the last year and I know that forgiveness is an essential piece of my growth and healing.  I’m also consistently seeing resentment as a barrier to wellness with others and observing the incredible miracle of healing through forgiveness.

In my work, I’ve been defining forgiveness as the intentional process of letting go of negative emotions regarding an offense or wrongdoing. For me it’s important to clarify that forgiveness is not condoning or forgetting, but a personal process of removing the energy of the negative emotions from your mind, body, and spirit. Forgiveness is a process that involves compassion, personal work, and growth.  It includes forgiving others for wrongdoings and often, forgiving ourselves.
