I support with compassion and a holistic perspective of body, mind and soul connection. Breaking down the complexity of it all into bite sized chunks.

I work with those looking to prevent dis-ease, find optimal health, life balance and personal growth. I am passionate about health and wellbeing of the whole person. I have been formally studying and personally researching how to optimize health of body, mind and soul. This means looking at dietary habits, emotional blocks, stress and resiliency, spiritual connection within and outside of self. I have a wide array of perspectives to pull from as I have studied eastern philosophies such as Ayruvedic methods, Hindu, Traditional Chinese and Buddhist beliefs, as well as Western thinking such as functional medicine approaches, counseling, and massage therapy. Add to that the spiritual and energy healing work. I have created a well rounded knowledge base and believe all areas have their strengths, there is a no "one and done" system. We need to find what works for each of us, as we are unique and there are many factors that can impact the effectiveness of any one approach at any given time. I hope to help people find what works for them at this moment and to show them how to incorporate many different techniques based on need and circumstance.

This is a long one…

If we are really honest with ourselves we know…
Food matters. Like really matters.

And I don’t say that lightly, because I’ve spent most of my life knowing it but not necessarily living it as well as i could have. Convenience wins. Stress wins. “Whatever’s easiest” wins. And then we wonder why we’re tired, inflamed, aching, or mentally foggy.

Going to the retreat forced me to stop running from that truth.
For three weeks, I ate only fruits and veggies. No junk food. No shortcuts. No “just this once.” And yes — it was prepared by incredible chefs, so it was easy!

But here’s the vulnerable part:

It was satisfying.
It was filling.
And my body responded so quickly that I almost felt embarrassed by how long I’d ignored what it needed.

I’ve been home for two weeks now, and I’ve kept it up. Not perfectly. Not rigidly. Just honestly. I’m eating mostly raw because… it feels good. And I realized something really simple:

When you’re making raw food,
you’re doing all the same prep you would for cooking —
you’re just skipping the cooking.

And somehow that made it feel less overwhelming and more doable.

What happened in my body surprised me:

✨ I lost 6 pounds of visceral fat — the dangerous fat around your organs.
✨ I didn’t lose any muscle.
✨ My hydration actually improved.
✨ The aches and fatigue I’ve carried for years started to melt away.

The InBody test confirmed it, but honestly… I already knew because I could feel it.

And the truth is, the physical changes weren’t even the most powerful part.

The vulnerable part is this:
I felt proud of myself.
I felt like I was finally taking care of me.
Not from fear. Not from punishment. Not from trying to “fix” myself.
But from actually listening.

My body responded.
My mind softened.
And for the first time in a long time… I didn’t feel tired or achy.
I just felt good.

So this is me saying out loud what we all know and need to be reminded of…

Your body hears everything you do.
And it will always thank you when you start feeding it like you care.

I’m in my final week here at the Fresh Start health retreat in BC, and it has been transformational. Three full weeks of detoxing, letting go, healing, and deep rest.(all the things I have been preaching). It was a big step for me to commit to a full reset… but I knew I deserved it. And so do you!!

Being here has only strengthened what I already believed deep down:
Water. Veggies & fruit. Positivity.
These three things are truly foundational for your health. They sound simple, but they change everything.

Over the next little while, I’ll share some videos, insights, and little tidbits I’ve learned during my time here—things that might surprise you, and things that will absolutely support you.

For now, I’d love for you to try something gentle and doable:
✨ Add a little more water.
✨ Add a little more fruit and veg.
✨ Add a little more positivity.

Small shifts create big changes.

If you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear how you plan to work these into your day—or how it feels when you do.

Much love, and deep care for your health.
❤️

A thought experiment for today...

Imagine your child came to you and said: Mom, I feel guilty resting. I feel bad not not doing for everyone else today."

Would you say: " yes, you should feel guilty." or would you say: "Sweetheart, you deserve rest. Taking care of you doesn't mean you don't love us. Rest is not weakness, it means you're wise enough to know when you need to pause." ??

NOW- can you give yourself the same permission??

Be kind to yourself, as kind as you would be to your child!!

✨ “When I am healed, I am not healed alone.” ✨

Your healing shifts the whole field. 🌱
When you stand in love and truth, you create space for others to grow — whether or not they choose to.

So often we think being “loving” means keeping the peace at the cost of our own truth. But real love isn’t self-abandonment. Real love comes when you stand your ground, honor your boundaries, and refuse to betray your soul.

The ripple effect is real. By healing your triggers, speaking your truth, and holding steady without hate, you not only free yourself — you invite healing in everyone around you.

Your healing is never just your own. It touches your relationships, your family, and even the collective. By choosing love over fear and truth over silence, you light the path for others to do the same.

🌹 Stand in your truth.
🌹 Lead with love.
🌹 Trust that your healing blesses more than just you.

🌿 Self-love = Freedom 🌿

So many of us chase freedom outside of ourselves — in relationships, jobs, money, or even in escape. But the deepest freedom doesn’t come from “out there.” It comes from in here. 💛

When you truly love yourself:
✨ You’re free from needing everyone’s approval.
✨ You’re free from the constant nagging of your inner critic.
✨ You’re free to say no without guilt and yes without fear.
✨ You’re free to grow, explore, and change without apology.

Self-love isn’t selfish — it’s the foundation of inner safety. And when you feel safe within yourself, you stop living in chains of fear, doubt, and dependency. That’s when you discover the freedom you’ve been seeking all along.

Maybe freedom isn’t something we “earn” or “find” in the world — maybe it begins the moment we choose to love ourselves fully. 🌸

💬 What does freedom mean to you?

We have all heard about gaslighting, but today I was made aware that we can gaslight ourselves to preserve others comfort. I asked Chatgpt to explain this and give examples how this can show up. I felt this could be helpful for everyone to know. Do you see how you might do this? or even be the someone others are protecting?
**Gaslighting ourselves to preserve others' comfort is a form of self-abandonment that often feels like "keeping the peace," but it actually creates deep inner conflict and long-term damage to our self-trust.

Here are examples of how this might show up, especially in a long-term relationship or within families:

1. "Maybe I'm overreacting."

Even though your gut knows something is wrong, you minimize your feelings to avoid confrontation or to keep them from feeling blamed.

“He didn’t mean it like that.”
“It’s probably just my hormones.”
“I’m being too sensitive again.”

✅ Reality: You’re having a valid emotional response. If you keep ignoring it, you lose the ability to trust your inner compass.

2. "they are trying, so I should be more patient."

You silence your discomfort or needs because the other person seems to be putting in effort — even if it's minimal or inconsistent.

“He’s not perfect but at least he’s not abusive.”
“He did help yesterday so I shouldn’t be upset today.”

✅ Reality: Effort doesn’t equal effectiveness. Good intentions don’t erase harmful dynamics or unmet needs.

3. "It’s not that bad."

You downplay how deeply something affects you in order to avoid rocking the boat.

“It’s not like he cheated.”
“There are people in worse situations.”

✅ Reality: Pain isn’t a competition. Just because it’s not the worst-case doesn’t mean it’s acceptable for your life.

4. "I’m being selfish."

You feel guilty for wanting space, clarity, financial freedom, or emotional support because it makes the other person uncomfortable.

“He’s trying his best; maybe I should just be more understanding.”
“He’s finally making an effort. How can I walk away now?”

✅ Reality: Self-honoring is not selfish. If meeting your basic emotional or physical needs causes someone discomfort, that’s their growth edge — not your problem to solve.

5. "Maybe I wasn’t clear enough."

You take full responsibility for miscommunication even though you’ve already stated your needs multiple times.

“I should’ve said it better.”
“Maybe I confused him.”

✅ Reality: Clarity is important, yes — but so is being heard. If someone keeps “not understanding,” it may be avoidance, not confusion.

6. "they had a hard life, I should cut him some slack."

You excuse mistreatment because you know someone’s trauma history or struggles, even when they repeatedly hurt you.

“He’s doing the best he can with his past.”
“I don’t want to trigger his shame or make him feel worse.”

✅ Reality: Compassion is beautiful — but not at the cost of your own emotional safety.

7. "If I just work on myself more, things will get better."

You internalize the idea that if you heal more, communicate better, or change enough, the dynamic will magically improve.

“It must be my tone.”
“I need to be more regulated so he doesn’t react.”

✅ Reality: You are not responsible for someone else’s behavior, reactivity, or unwillingness to grow.

8. "This is just how relationships are."

You tell yourself it's normal to feel unfulfilled, unseen, or exhausted — because challenging that would require hard changes (like separation, conflict, or loss).

“No relationship is perfect.”
“I signed up for better or worse.”

✅ Reality: Relationships require effort, yes — but they should also bring ease, joy, safety, and reciprocity. It’s not normal to feel like you're carrying it alone.

❤️ How to Know You're Gaslighting Yourself

You feel increasingly anxious but don't know why.

You feel guilt or shame when expressing needs.

You second-guess your memories or perceptions.

You find yourself editing your words to avoid their reactions.

You feel invisible in your own life.
