It’s healthy to question the things we believe. Especially as we acquire new information and understandings of the world around us. But what if these questions lead us into a spiral of doubt? I’ve traveled down the staircase of suspicion many a time, and while I value my sense of curiosity and desire to fully …
I’m going to be honest – gift-giving is not my strong suit. So I’m always in search of gift ideas that are intentional, meaningful, and beneficial for the receiver (no one wants to accumulate more stuff they’ll never use!). Gifts that are under the wellness umbrella seem to always check those boxes. And that’s why …
As a nutritionist, I get a lot of questions about diet culture – what the perfect diet is and what I think about the latest fad diet. My answer is always the same and you can scroll to the end of this post to read it (psst it’s probably not what you think). Now, first …
The Basics Energetic Hygiene is becoming aware of your energy field and developing a practice to tend to your energy. All living things have an energy field, and how we interact with this energy determines the quality of that vital life force that flows internally and externally. Most of us can’t see our own or …

If you are like me, you have spent a LOT of time on your screens over the past month. This global pandemic still has us spinning and we are in the …
How to build a spiritual wellness team — another thing no one teaches us in school (!) We grow up going to whoever our parents selected for us. But once we get into adulthood, we’re the ones responsible for finding our primary care doctor, choosing a therapist, and picking a gyno or whatever kind of …
Growing up, I never quite felt like I “belonged.” This is partly a personal problem (hello therapy!), but it was also the result of being in spaces and around people who had very different priorities and interests from my own. It wasn’t until I became an adult and felt like I could choose who and …
Hi. I hope this finds you well. ❥ In this brave new world we find ourselves in, we’ve been able to witness right in front of our eyes just how quickly it’s possible to move even more of our lives online. (Wait, weren’t we just talking about digital detoxing?) But, here we are. For many …
