People often ask what I do as a holistic health practitioner...

As a holistic health practitioner, I don’t hand you a one-size-fits-all plan. I help you discover what your body is really asking for, balance, nourishment, rest, and alignment.

🌿 Together, we look at your nutrition, hormones, mindset, environment, and daily rhythm, because true healing happens when everything works in harmony.

✨ If you’re tired of feeling dismissed or disconnected, it’s time to come home to your body.

Who you surround yourself with can be just as healing as what you eat or how you move.

The people in your life have the power to regulate - or dysregulate - your nervous system. When you’re around those who bring calm, encouragement, and authenticity, your body feels safe enough to rest, repair, and rebalance.

But constant exposure to stress or negativity keeps your system stuck in survival mode, no matter how clean your diet or how dialed in your supplements are.

Healing isn’t just about protocols, it’s about connection. The right people don’t just lift your mood; they help your biology remember what safety feels like 💙

Hormones are your body’s messengers — they tell your cells when to rest, digest, grow, and flow.

When they’re out of sync, your body lets you know. Here are 5 gentle signs it might be time to bring things back into balance:

1️⃣ Mood swings or irritability — If small things suddenly feel overwhelming, your estrogen-progesterone balance might be off.

2️⃣ Fatigue (even after sleep) — Low thyroid function or cortisol imbalance can make mornings feel heavy.

3️⃣ Irregular or painful cycles — Skipped periods, spotting, or intense cramps signal hormone disruption or inflammation.

4️⃣ Skin changes — Breakouts on your jawline, oily skin, or dryness can point to shifting androgen levels.

5️⃣ Weight changes or sugar cravings — Blood sugar and cortisol play a big role here — especially if you feel tired and wired.

🌿 The good news? Hormones love rhythm and nourishment.

🫖 Sip mineral-rich teas.
🍠 Eat whole foods and don’t skip meals.
🌞 Get morning sunlight.
🕯️ Slow down — your nervous system is the gateway to hormone balance.

Your body isn’t broken — it’s communicating. Are you listening? 💫

Ugh, the phase right before your period where you just want to wear cozy socks, say no to plans, and eat warm food, maybe you're even a little grumpy and agitated (some of my clients even say they're rageful)?

That’s your luteal phase, your inner autumn.

During this time, progesterone rises (hello, calm and cozy vibes) and your body is preparing for either pregnancy or rest. But if your hormones are off balance, this phase can bring bloating, mood swings, or anxiety instead.

Here’s how I like to ground and flow through it:

🫖 Sip on warming teas like cinnamon, ginger, and nettles.
🥣 Eat grounding meals like we talked about before. Think roasted veggies, sweet potatoes, and healthy fats.
🕯️ Slow down, it’s a time to nest, journal, and reflect (not push).
💤 Rest, your body’s basal temperature is higher now, so aim for earlier nights.
🧘‍♀️ Nurture your nervous system through meditation or prayer, magnesium, Epsom salt baths, and gentle stretching are your friends.
For me, I notice I want to snuggle my family more and relax with low lights.

✨ Tip: Try syncing your life to your cycle — work, workouts, and even social plans can flow more easily when you honor your body’s natural rhythm.

If you know anything about me, you know the last few years of my life have been major transformations. I have worked so hard to become the person who I like the most. I've outgrown friendships, relationships, and activities that no longer serve me. Music touches me again, and I haven't felt that way since I was probably 10 years old. One that's been really showing up in my life lately is the song "Try" by Colbie Caillat. I hear it and break down because I loved Colbie Caillat growing up. I remember listening to her CD with my friends and recording ourselves singing. I never truly listened to the words but it's a song I wish EVERY women would HEAR!

It’s a song about letting go, letting go of the need to be perfect, to please everyone, to keep trying so hard.

“Put your makeup on, get your nails done,
Curl your hair, run the extra mile,
Keep it slim so they like you — do they like you?”

We’ve all been there.
Chasing approval, validation, acceptance.
And somewhere in all of it, we forget to ask the most important question:

“Do YOU like YOU?”

Not the version of you that’s polished or put together,
the real you. The soft, tired, beautiful, trying-your-best you.

“Don’t you like you?
‘Cause I like you.”

That line gets me every time. Because it’s everything.
You don’t have to try so hard.
You don’t have to change a single thing.

Let this be your reminder today to breathe, to rest, to come back home to yourself.
Because the truest healing begins when you start liking you. 💜

🌬️ Energetic Cleansing for Seasonal Shifts

As the seasons change, our energy shifts too. This is the perfect time to clear out what feels heavy—physically, emotionally, and energetically—so you can step into the next season feeling lighter.

🌿 1. Cleanse Your Space:
Open windows, burn herbs like rosemary or mugwort, and let fresh air move through your home.

🛁 2. Release Through Water:
Take a salt bath with Epsom or sea salt. Imagine stress and stagnant energy leaving your body with each exhale. (This is one of my faves!! sometimes I picture it even when I'm showering too)

🕯️ 3. Reflect + Reset:
Journal or meditate on what you’re ready to release. Write it down, then safely burn or bury the paper as a symbol of letting go.

“Like the trees shedding leaves, you’re allowed to release what no longer nourishes your growth.” 🍂

Seasonal Allergy + Lymph Support

As the seasons shift, your body works hard to stay balanced. Instead of fighting allergy symptoms, try gentle ways to support your system and keep energy flowing.

💧 Move the Lymph:
Dry brush before your shower, walk daily, and end with a quick cool rinse to help drainage.

🌿 Sip Herbal Support:
Nettle, lemon balm, and peppermint calm histamines. Add a spoonful of local honey for extra allergy ease.

🍋 Love Your Liver:
Start the day with lemon water and include bitter greens like dandelion or arugula to help your body clear irritants.

“Healing happens when energy flows freely.” 🌙

🍠 Grounding Foods for Fall Energy

As the air cools and the days shorten, our bodies naturally crave warmth, comfort, and steadiness. Fall is a time to come back to the earth — to root down, nourish deeply, and restore the energy we spent all summer.

When nature slows, we’re invited to do the same. This is the season for grounding foods — those that grow deep in the soil and bring a stabilizing, calming energy to the body.

Here are a few simple ways to nourish yourself this season:

🌾 Root Vegetables:
Sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and parsnips are filled with minerals that support energy and mood. Roast them with olive oil and sea salt to bring out their sweetness and balance blood sugar.

🥣 Warm, Slow Meals:
Soups, stews, and broths are gentle on digestion and help your body stay hydrated as the air gets drier. Add warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric for circulation and comfort.

🍎 Seasonal Fruits:
Apples and pears support the lungs and digestive system—perfect for fall. Try baking them with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a cozy, grounding treat.

🌰 Mineral-Rich Foods:
Pumpkin seeds, quinoa, oats, and dark leafy greens replenish trace minerals your body uses to manage stress and energy.

💛 Nourishing Ritual:
Take time to eat slowly and with gratitude. Feel the warmth of your food and let it remind you that nourishment isn’t just physical—it’s emotional and spiritual too.

“Grounding begins at the table. Every bite is a chance to return home to yourself.” 🌙
