You’ve had a prescription from your medical doctor, right?
Think back…
How often did you receive a prescription that focused on improving your lifestyle before pharmaceutical drugs or a recommendation for an invasive procedure? Things like:
These actions help to bring your body into the homeostasis, or balance, that’s required to maintain your holistic health. I love my primary care physician, but he’s never prescribed lifestyle medicine.
The pandemic revealed how few people truly understand preventative health, meaning actions you can take to keep your immune system strong and thereby help to prevent the development of chronic disease. Your health is the sum of the states of your mental, physical, and emotional bodies. Human beings have been masterfully designed to thrive. Unfortunately, the stress and toxins of modern life cause your minds, bodies, and spirits to develop imbalances that negatively affect your overall health and cause you to struggle.
You have more power to impact your holistic health than you are led to believe. The recent pandemic would have resulted in far less hospitalizations if everyone had a holistic wellness coach to support them in practicing lifestyle medicine.

Summer is swiftly waning. The fall equinox will soon be upon us. Do you feel that you enjoyed the summer to the extent that you could? Were you present with it by embracing its gifts of sunlight, playtime with your tribe, inspiration for something new, as well as opportunities to enjoy some introspective moments in nature?
Or, was it essentially the same old same old? Perhaps you felt a bit stuck, bored, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or unclear about exactly what would make you thrive?
These last days of summer always contain a whiff of fall that announces a soon-to-be shift. They also mark Virgo season, which is an optimal time to reform our habits and prioritize self-care. It’s no wonder that I’m sitting on the beach contemplating my priorities for the upcoming season.
Human beings, by nature, resist change. This is for a good reason: change isn’t easy. What makes it attractive is that any new experience generally invigorates us and causes us to grow.

If so, I’m sending this note to remind you that I have the resources to help you set a new intention this fall:
I’m always here to support you in 1:1 sessions. These sessions are an opportunity to identify and neutralize any energetic blocks that are holding you back from thriving mentally, physically, and/or emotionally.
