It's devastating to hear about yet another natural disaster, this time it’s Los Angeles, in the form of dry wind and fire. My heart goes out to all those affected and my hope is for a more resilient rebuild and recovery. As these storms become more frequent and violent, it’s hard to dismiss that our...

As we begin 2025, with lots of changes on the horizon, I want to implore you that being a passive bystander when it comes to your health and wellbeing is no longer an option.

We are part of nature… which means the solutions to the ways in which we have gotten out of balance (manifesting as dis-ease...

This is our last newsletter of 2024! What a year it has been. Whew!

I want to finish out this year, by encouraging you to support your digestion and mindset as we go into 2025.

With one holiday celebration week behind us and another on its way, let's do a little gut check-in!

There is no need for...

It was a magical experience to celebrate this year’s Winter Solstice with all who attended the retreat with me yesterday. Above is a screen shot from the Lunar Calendar workshop - each woman made a unique design. 

These gatherings are so heartfelt and nourishing. Our community is overflowing with w...

Do you ever wonder why someone might celebrate the Winter Solstice (the moment when the sun is the furthest away from the Northern Hemisphere)?

Will it really make a difference whether you acknowledge it or not?

Sure, you could argue that Solstice is just another part of our Earth’s yearly cycle that ...

I want to to introduce you to a wonderful woman named Ethel, who is part of the Vitality Circle. In this video, she explains the incredible breakthroughs she experienced during her first year in the Vitality Circle. She loved it so much she signed up for a second year. 

This year is rolling and it ...

For many, this time post holidays can be really challenging. Many people I have spoken with lately feel like they have been in a funk. We put lots of time, energy, and attention into the holidays and this time of year feels like a trough after a large wave. Perhaps this poem resonates with how you a...

It's Christmas Eve today. Whether you celebrate this holiday or not, our culture provides us a break during this time, which can bring up A LOT.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of this time of year, perhaps tinged with grief and loss, I want to take a moment to remind you: You matter. You, attending t...

The Winter Solstice (the longest night and shortest day of the year) is here. The Solstice represents the end of the pendulum swing from light to dark through the solar year. 

Now is a time of dreaming, intuition, planting seeds of intention, resting more, and rebuilding from any type of depletion ...

We're approaching the end of the year - a time to reflect, take stock of where we are, and plant seeds of intention for what 2024 will hold.

Tonight is the 4th night of Hanukkah - I have been loving lighting the candles in my menorah (which I inherited from my grandparents) each evening at sundown ...

Happy December! It’s the season of roasted roots in the northern hemisphere.

The cold and dry qualities of Winter can be appeased by us eating more dense, slow cooked vegetables. It’s the season of abundance of sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, and parsnips.

Bake a pan of these winter roots and feel...

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, can you sink into the stillness of the season for a bit now and connect deeply within?

Ayurveda teaches us that this time leading up to the Winter Solstice is one of stillness and reflection.

How ironic that culturally we make it one of the most busy a...

We just had the first full moon of the new year on Friday and I hope the glow is resonating within you as you embark on this new calendar year. 

I really appreciate hearing from those of you who have been enjoying the "Stroll vs. Scroll" Challenge. The week of the Challenge has ended but you are we...

2023 is here! How did you choose to ring in the New Year?

The beginning of a year is a great opportunity to invite in a new perspective in by shifting your habits! 

While I am not a big proponent of New Year's Resolutions (or staying up until midnight, lol) as a way to usher in the new year, I am ...
