In today's world, we are surrounded by cheap food, reasons to sit all day, toxic exposures in our food, water, and air, and stress - oh the stress! If we are going to live long, productive, healthy, beautiful lives, we need to protect and nurture our bodies and minds. We need an extensive Wellness Toolkit to help us! The biggest tool in that toolbox is our lifestyle and self-care practices. Self care is more than pedicures, a new dress, or a glass of wine. Self care is not about what works for your sister, friend, or some random person on the internet. Self care should be personalized and create positive progress towards a healthier, more vibrant you! I am lucky enough to spend my days helping women and men figure out what their best self care practices are through experimentation, testing, intuition, science, and curiosity!
