Catherine Canadeo: Health & Wellness

12/23/2025

As we gather around the table this holiday season, we are nourished by more than what we place on our plates.

We are nourished by our presence, our thoughts, and the energy we bring into the room.

What we put into ourselves and on our plates matters.
So do the thoughts we carry, flowing like the wine and water on the table, shaping our conversations, our connections, and our hearts.

What intentions are you bringing to the person sitting next to you?
Are you wishing them well?
Are you letting go of past negative energies and making space for positive enlightenment, new beginnings, new opportunities, and new ways of communicating and connecting?

This season invites us to slow down and truly connect as we share our meals, our laughter, our love, and our joy.

We also honor those who are no longer with us or who are too far away to join us. We make space for them in our hearts and at our tables, keeping the gathering sacred and meaningful.

Each candle lit represents light, hope, courage, comfort, joy, care, and compassion.

As you sit at the Christmas table or your holiday table, reflect on what you are bringing to the gathering:
• Nourishment for the body and the soul
• Thoughts rooted in gratitude and kindness
• Intentions of peace, forgiveness, and renewal
• Words that uplift and heal
• Presence that creates connection
• Space to honor loved ones near and far
• Light that carries hope and compassion

So how will you show up at the table this holiday season?
What nourishment are you sharing with others?

May your table be full and your heart even fuller❤️

What if the greatest gift, growth, healing, and glowing from within, has been guiding us our entire lives?

Not something we need to find, but something we simply need to remember.

In a world filled with distractions, this season invites us to slow down, reconnect, and return to what truly matters: our health, our families, our lifestyles, and our shared humanity. Each person we love is walking their own unseen journey. When we lead with compassion, kindness, and presence, we become a safe space for healing emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

This is the gift we can offer, not just during the holidays, but every single day.
A gift wrapped in empathy, understanding, and the art of truly listening.
A gift that fuels our light so we may be of service to others.

✨ Put a bow on what truly matters. ✨

𝑾𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒊𝒇𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈:
-Pause and reconnect, less noise, more presence
-Lead with compassion, not judgment
-Listen deeply, without trying to fix
-Choose kindness in small, consistent moments
-Nourish your health so your energy can uplift others
-Support emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, starting with yourself
-Remember, your light grows brighter when it is shared

May we move through this season and every season rooted in love, wellness, and intentional living.

On Friday, December 12th, Vibrance 360 Wellness & Aesthetics hosted a truly heartfelt and meaningful charity event in support of the Michael Magro Foundation. This extraordinary foundation is dedicated to supporting children battling cancer and standing beside their families during some of the most difficult and vulnerable moments of their lives, bringing comfort, hope, and compassion when it is needed most.

We are deeply grateful to Dr. Helen Hsieh, her amazing staff, and the friends and community who came together in support for their gracious hospitality, kindness, and generosity, truly exemplifying the spirit of giving. Through this event, we were honored to contribute toys, hats, and scarves, small yet meaningful gestures that bring warmth and joy to children and families facing immense challenges.

A sincere thank you to , who beautifully facilitated and coordinated this special evening. It was a true honor to have Terrie Magro, Co-Founder of the Michael Magro Foundation, with us, whose strength, love, and unwavering dedication continue to serve as a beacon of light for so many families.

We also extend our appreciation to , Publisher of Roslyn Living Magazine, for his support and presence.

An evening filled with purpose, compassion, and community, reminding us of the power of coming together to support those who need it most.

When was the last time you said no and didn’t feel guilty about it?

As December fills up with to-dos, events, and expectations, here’s your reminder: it’s okay to slow down. It’s okay to protect your peace. And it’s absolutely okay to say no.

This season, think “KNOW-cember.”
✨ Know your limits.
✨ Know your values.
✨ Know that rest is productive.

Every “no” creates space for a deeper, more meaningful yes… yes to joy, yes to presence, yes to moments that actually matter.

As the year winds down, give yourself the gift of pause. Protect your peace. Honor your boundaries. Let this season be lighter, calmer, and more intentional.

🎁 Because the greatest gift you can give yourself this holiday season… is you.

Holiday Calm Starts from Within

As we head into the holiday season, it’s more important than ever to remember that your body is always listening. Every thought you think sends a ripple through your entire system, shaping how you feel, how you heal, and how you present yourself in the world.

When your mind leans toward stress, your body responds with cortisol and tension. Energy dips. Patience fades. Your inner light gets quieter.

But when your mind leans toward peace, your brain releases serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin, natural healing messengers that calm your nervous system, lower inflammation, and help you feel grounded again.

Science shows us that our thoughts are chemical instructions. Your mindset becomes the script your body follows: your immune system, your hormones, even your genetic expression respond to what you repeatedly believe, fear, or hope.

And here’s the empowering part: What you repeat in your mind becomes the environment your body lives in.

So as the holidays approach, give yourself permission to take one baby step at a time toward aligning your heart and mind with your soul’s internal GPS, that quiet, trustworthy voice that always knows the way back to peace, purpose, and presence.

Choose thoughts that nourish you.
Choose grace.
Choose you.

There’s something about this time of year that reminds us to slow down with the people who matter. It’s a beautiful reminder to pause and appreciate the moments we often rush past.

Life moves fast… sometimes too fast. And when we’re constantly moving, planning, and doing, it’s easy to miss the small joys that make life meaningful.

So as we gather with loved ones today and step into the heart of the season, let this be your gentle reminder:
✨ Be thankful for where you are.
✨ Be gentle with yourself.
✨ Find joy in the small, overlooked moments.

Gratitude isn’t just a feeling; it’s a practice. It’s choosing to be present, to appreciate what’s here right now, and to stop racing through the moments we should be savoring.

Before you scroll away… ask yourself:
What made you smile today?
What moment felt peaceful?
And what’s one thing, big or small, that you’re truly grateful for right now?

Wishing you a holiday filled with warmth, presence, and the kind of gratitude that stays with you long after the season ends. Happy Thanksgiving💛

A wonderful evening at the Commercial Industrial Brokers Society (CIBS) of Long Island Holiday Party at The Lannin.

It was an honor to celebrate my dear friend and colleague, Tsoukalas Curto, Land and Zoning Partner at Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP, as she received the Associates Award last night. Andrea’s dedication, leadership, and integrity continue to inspire everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.

The night was filled with warmth, meaningful conversations, and genuine connection. Events like this remind us that beyond networking, it’s the relationships we build and the collaborations we cultivate that truly elevate our professional community.

Congratulations again, Andrea — so well deserved!

The recent Hellenic Professional Women event at PureCare Pharmacy & Wellness was nothing short of extraordinary. Hosting this community of brilliant, driven women reminded me of something deeply true: our collective power is immeasurable. HPW creates spaces where Greek women connect, empower one another, and boldly pursue their dreams — and in doing so, they strengthen our community in ways that ripple far beyond a single event.

When women show up for each other, we become unstoppable. We are resilient, intelligent, compassionate, and fiercely capable. Imagine what we can accomplish when we stand side by side, share our knowledge, and lift one another higher. This event captured that spirit beautifully.

It was at an HPW gathering that I first met Catherine Canadeo — someone I am now proud to call a close friend and colleague. She has since joined our team at PureCare as an Integrative Nutritionist, and her authentic, selfless support has been instrumental as we open our new pharmacy. Catherine is a living example of what happens when women choose collaboration over competition. There is truly room for all of us to grow, thrive, and succeed together.

My heart is full of gratitude for HPW and for the space it creates — a space where women shine their light and help others shine theirs too. This is the power of community, of unity, and of women uplifting women. And together, there is no limit to what we can achieve. 💪🏻💞

Events like this highlight the importance of bringing professionals together across disciplines to better serve our community. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this mission and to stand alongside dedicated colleagues and friends who share the same vision for holistic, patient-centered care.

Have you ever noticed how your energy shifts when you pause to appreciate something, a quiet morning, a loved one’s smile, or simply the gift of being alive?

As the holidays approach, it’s the perfect time to reflect on gratitude, not just as a feeling, but as one of nature’s most powerful wellness tools. Regularly practicing gratitude has been shown to reduce stress, lower inflammation, improve sleep quality, and even support overall longevity. It softens the nervous system, strengthens the immune system, and helps us move from “fight or flight” into balance and peace.

✨ This November, give yourself and your health the gift of gratitude. It costs nothing, yet it has the power to heal, uplift, and renew from the inside out.
