Any time we're doing skin treatments - whether it's something like introducing a retinol, using a new soap to help the microbiome, or adding medications to treat an existing problem - irritation can get in the way. Using the correct products, the right amounts, and a really good moisturizer can make all the difference in being able to follow through with a full treatment course. My go-to skin cream is and it's gotten me through lots of tough battles with this sensitive skin. Day 2 under the belt...now onward!

Sun damage shows up DECADES after the fact - and the treatments can be pretty brutal. Join me in my journey over the week as I deal with the karma from my sunburns back when Def Leppard was king (although I still freakin' love them). Day 1: looks innocent enough. Stay tuned.

The only thing more fun than making everything stupidly magical for a full-month-sprint, is doing it while you and the crew are sick...

While the office was warming up, thought I'd give you a helpful tool for those BIG gorgeous ideas that want to become reality!

ARE THOSE FAKE??? 🌿 I get that question a LOT in the office when people see the plants. The answer is no, absolutely not. I take my plants VERY seriously and have a relationships with them like I do with my pets. I believe plants are sentient and are absolutely aware of what's going on around them - there's some really cool data out there that supports that.

I can tell when they're feeling good, when they need a little extra love, and when they're being a little bit dramatic (I've got a couple of those - mostly the peace lily, though 🙄).

This gorgeous plant behind me is known as Stella - named by my daughter, she came off the back of a Lowe's truck as a solitary stalk with every one of her leaves torn, looking like she had a really rough week. We tuned into each other as I nursed her back to health - now I chat with her, she gets to watch my singing and dancing performances when there are no patients around, and I know she feels the energy of a healing space and all of the cool people who I see in the office every day.

Plant care is a lot like people care – once you can figure out the individual's vibe, you create a great relationship and things just flow. You know when they're feeling great, you know when they're a little under the weather, and you can see the subtle changes when they're not quite living their best life. Small tweaks and course corrections make all the difference – thriving is a beautiful thing :) 🩷🩺🌱

PSA: I've been informed that should I decide to leave the integrative health profession, I can start a career as an early 80s/90s hip-hop video dancer. Not everyone appreciates a retro hat and wide-leg jeans, and I'm not ready for a career change yet, but it's good to know I have options.

When eating turkey isn't really your thing, and you want your kiddo to know that women belong in science and tech (and cockpits!), you pop them into the front seat of an airplane for an awesome ride to your beach combing day...
However you choose to spend your moments today, ENJOY 💜

We just saw the second Wicked movie and we are OBSESSED (of course, there were costumes involved for the show - we show up to SLAY in this family)! We also 💗 this line of lip balms that we found in a small shop years ago. This year, we were able to grab some for the office - it's made clean, works great, and the colors of the packages are just *on point*. I'm NOT here to sell products – I only carry and recommend anything that I would use myself. I use these ALLLLL the time. These two, in particular, are were a special release of un-tinted balm that we were able to sn**ch up.

We've got a VERY limited supply and they're available separately or as a set. We've also got a whole lot of other National Park-themed balms, and some gorgeous tinted ones as well. You can check them out in our waiting room, and if you're one of our patients who want a set of these cuties held for you, send me a message through your portal and we'll make sure you can pick them up!
