How to not let health ailments bring you down

May 5, 2020April 12, 2019

Ever since my dad passed away in December, my health has been kind of a wreck. I’ve gotten hit with so many strange and debilitating health ailments over the past 3 1/2 months, most of which I’ve NEVER experienced before. First there was the cold that turned into severe bronchitis – two weeks of nonstop coughing and hacking and choking and almost zero sleep because of it. I got a doctor’s note and had to reschedule my trip to Florida. Then several weeks later there was the mysterious chest condition. It came on out of nowhere and literally felt like I …

How to cope with grief, loss and depression

May 12, 2019October 24, 2018

As a followup to my very raw and personal post last week, I wanted to touch on the topic of grief more and some things that have been helping me weather not only this difficult time but many other losses in the past. Grief and depression are emotions that I’ve felt acutely familiar with over the past year and change, first with the loss of my longterm home, then with the loss of my longterm pet rabbit Alexi, and now with what’s going on with my dad. Grief is such an overwhelming and devastating feeling. I won’t say I have all …

What to do when you feel like crap

May 12, 2019March 22, 2018

Every so often I experience one of those total OFF days. I wake up groggy having not slept well, something I ate the day before didn’t sit well and my digestion is dragging, my mind is foggy and all I feel like doing is staying in bed. I try to journal it out but the words aren’t coming. I try to get some work done but I keep getting distracted… by literally everything! The hours pass, I feel like a total slug and nothing of any real value is getting accomplished. Realising this, I feel even worse but still can’t seem …

My health story

May 5, 2020January 11, 2018

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an artist. Any kind of artist – it was always changing. At various points throughout my childhood and teens I dreamt of being a painter, a novelist, a dancer, a playwriter, an actor, an illustrator, a filmmaker. I was constantly creating things and getting involved in new modes of self-expression. I had aspirations of working in the creative arts and even went to an art school for college. I never thought I’d ever ever ever become a health coach. I didn’t even like to eat healthy! But my life has been permeated …

The importance of following your heart

May 12, 2019December 27, 2016

If there’s one thing I’m committed to in life and that I feel pretty good at doing, it’s following my heart. I tend to group this closely together with following my intuition because to me, the two are inextricably linked. My intuition always leads me to wonderful people, places, and things that open my heart and mind. And my heart always wants to go where I’m feeling called. I’ve never been very good at being the overly rational, logical type, though I certainly know what it feels like to prioritise that in life. Since starting up this site however, one of …

How I healed my body – the secret to my success

May 12, 2019March 16, 2016

A couple months ago back in January I woke up with MAJOR insomnia one night. Not something I often experience and I spent the first hour trying various methods to soothe myself back to sleep. When that didn’t work and I was pretty much resigned to being up for the rest of the night, I asked myself a question: Is there something I need to know here? Is there something this is trying to show me? I had a burning desire to write for some reason so I pulled out my journal… and proceeded to write the outline for what is …
