Week in Review Lymph Love - DIY Edition This week we revisited lymph support. I found a couple of great tutorials for identifying and harvesting and using cleavers, a wild medicinal that is amazing for lymphatics support. Here are the links. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5H3PtQQePA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXweab30z9c Habit-Stacking During your walks this week, see if you can identify cleavers near you. How's your UVA time habit-stacking coming along?

Week in Review Low Key Week TGIF! Nothing extravagant in this weekly round-up. It’s been a slow week. I’ve learned to relish these. I used to feel bad about it, like I wasn’t doing enough. I’m very much over it. And it’s therapeutic! The usuals get done, without fail, though: wake-up, grab my water and head outside for sunshine time, even on the gray, dreary days. Did you know that the intensity of light outside on a gray day, even in the early sunrise hours, is orders of

Week in Review Spring Time If you're feeling excited about spring - the returning light, the longer days, the (slightly) warmer temperatures, and finally, oh finally , some fresh greens that didn't have to travel from Mexico or California - but you're also feeling sluggish, slow, and maybe even a little "lazy"... I want to invite you to lean into that slowness. You're not lazy. You're not squandering the warmer, longer days you've been longing for all winter. You're right wh

Week in Review When Healing Becomes Living What happens after the symptoms soften, and why nobody talks about it. [this is a long one - grab a warm drink and settle into a cozy spot.] There's a moment in healing that nobody prepares you for. It's not the crisis point. It's not the rock bottom that sends you searching for answers. It's not the first glimmer of relief, the first morning you wake up without pain, the first week you sleep through the night. Those moments are cele

Week in Review Sway Testing for Foods, Supplements and Herbal Supports Our bodies are constantly changing, adapting, accommodating to the demands of each day. It stands to reason that what we eat, drink and supplement, and how much of it, will also change. The amount or dose we needed yesterday may be different today. Increasingly people are becoming more and more frustrated with set diets, set supplement protocols and set “this is what you do, when you do and no ifs-ands-or-

Week in Review Lymph & Fascia Love Super short round-up this week, folks! A couple links for you to explore: Lymph Flow Routine (great tutorial) Lymph flow routine TCM/Tai Chi Fascia hydration routine - excellent routine. Make it yours. Lengthen or shorten as needed. And remember, no 2 days are the same. Some days you go longer than others. And that’s fine. Also (VERY IMPORTANT): start slow and short. Maybe you go up to 20 instead of 100. Your job? Peruse the videos, try t

Week in Review Ketosis Hi everyone, The possibility of using ketosis to support the body through a high blood pressure and water retention phase came up during our calls this week, and I wanted to dig into this a bit more. Therapeutic ketosis is a well-established tool in the neurology world, especially for treating seizure disorders. It has provided relief even when all pharmaceutical interventions have failed. This doesn't surprise me at all; it makes absolute sense. Our b

Week in Review February's Masterclass this month's masterclass was all about tuning into the signals our nervous system evolved with. The unedited recording is available through your Group Coaching Dashboard - simply scroll down to the Monthly Masterclass ~ Unedited Recordings section to watch. Habit-Stacking From the masterclass recording, pick one Safety Signal you’d like to tune into more intentionally this week, and do so. Looking Ahead Group Coaching Calls Next Week ~ C

Week in Review The Journey of True Healing It's not just about "getting to the destination" - it's also about realizing that you may need different tools once you arrive. Or perhaps you don't need new stuff, but different habits... Or perhaps you are invited to stop doing something altogether. What served you to "get there", most often is not needed after you arrive. New place, new tools, new habits... The key is trusting you're enough. Always. The key is believing you will h

Week in Review “Prayer, Purpose and Physiology.” Or, like he says in the PS: "The sacred and the scientific are not separate languages; they are two names for the same truth". The following essay was sent as part of an email series I’m subscribed to, by Dr. Leland Stillman, down in Florida. I always appreciate his way with words and his ability to simplify ideas and concepts. Enjoy! “For centuries, people have prayed, meditated, and given thanks long before they understood wh

Week in Review The Quiet Signals Your Nervous System Is Already Listening to And Why Feeling Trumps Knowing If you’re reading this, you likely already know, at least in theory, that healing isn’t something you do to your body. It’s something your body does when the signal feels right. That understanding sits at the heart of the work each of you is in right now. This week, I want to invite you to soften your attention toward the quiet inputs your nervous system is already re

Week in Review Honor Each Season And your Gentle Reminder to move! What if the biggest changes in your health never come from huge, dramatic shifts, but from the small, ordinary choices you repeat every single day? It’s easy to look at someone with boundless energy, clear thinking, and vitality and think they’ve done something extraordinary. But the truth is, they’ve likely been quietly investing in themselves, day after day. Just like money grows through compound interest,

Week in Review Thank You “We always forget to thank ourselves for the progress that we have made on our journeys. Imagine how we would feel if we didn’t focus on how far we needed to go, but instead we focused on how far we have come”. (Sylvester Mcnutt III) And - Thank you to each and every one of you in our Wellness With Ease group coaching circle. You inspire me week after week. You motivate me to keep digging, to keep showing up, and to keep being and becoming. I deeply

Week in Review The Soothing Power of Herbs Greetings All! A short (and late) weekly round-up here, with a loving reminder to stay hydrated as the weather gets colder and the days get shorter. Many of us shy away from drinking that water in winter, cause it’s cold! But we must ensure proper hydration to ensure proper blood volume, which in turn ensures proper cellular hydration and organ functioning. When blood volume drops, our physiology enacts some powerful, and rather dram

Week in Review Soothe How’s December treating you all so far? Day 7. Last month of the first quarter of the 21st century is almost in the books. Winter invites us to soften, slow down, and return to the wisdom our bodies already hold. And yet, this is also the season when most of us push the hardest. More light, more noise, more doing… right when our biology is asking for dark, quiet repair. As we lovingly transition into a new way of doing things, perhaps going cold turkey

Week in Review Habits Compound, Just Like Money. A regulated nervous system is the true foundation of habit compounding; not discipline, not willpower, not motivation. When your body feels safe, resourced, and supported, it naturally becomes more receptive to change. It’s able to integrate new habits, new rhythms, and new inputs because it has the capacity to do so. Healing is not a “try harder” process. It’s a state-dependent process. And the state that healing requires m
