Prescription or…?

Prescription or…?

by | Nov 8, 2022 | Well-being, Wellness

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:

  • Eating healthier
  • Exercising regularly
  • Getting more sleep
  • Grounding
  • Managing stress better
  • Addressing your mindset
  • Expanding your social circle
  • Reevaluating your career or relationship
  • Accepting yourself
  • Establishing a yoga and/or meditation practice
  • Releasing what you are resisting
  • Cultivating presence
  • Recognizing that your health is the sum of mind, body, and spirit
  • And more…

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.

Where do you keep your cellphone?

Where do you keep your cellphone?

by | Jul 19, 2022 | Holistic Health, Well-being

Ever read the fine print of your cellphone’s owner’s manual? If so, it likely recommends that your device be kept at least one inch away from your body to ensure that you don’t exceed safety limits for electromagnetic frequency (EMF) exposure.

EMFs, invisible waves of energy, are often referred to as radiation. As the number of human-made EMF emissions continues to increase exponentially, it’s no longer just cell phones emitting EMF. We now have Wi-Fi, wireless thermostats, wireless speakers, smart refrigerators, numerous Bluetooth
devices, and more.

This said, one source of EMF accounts for more of our daily exposure than others. 97% of Americans own a cellphone. The average person spends about 5 hours per day on their device. Furthermore, most people keep their cellphones near their bodies all day and night. Modifying your cellphone habits can significantly impact how much EMF radiation your body absorbs daily.

This is important because EMF frequencies can negatively impact your health. What constitutes excessive exposure varies by individual and could result in insomnia, headaches, tinnitus, dizziness, fatigue, stress, greater risk of cancer and neurodegenerative disease (includes Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), potential fertility issues, trouble concentrating, learning and memory deficits, nausea, night sweats, and more.

Although the medical jury may still be debating this matter, I’ve seen a good number of clients benefit by reducing their EMF exposure. It never hurts to try. 

Of course, none of us want to believe that this could be true. It’s inconvenient. 

Cellphones and other EMF-emitting devices will only continue to become an even more integral part of our daily lives. Here are several ways to protect yourself from excessive exposure:

Cellphone Hygiene

  • Keep phone more than 1 inch away from your body at all times.
  • Don’t sleep with your phone on in your bedroom.
  • Keep phone on Airplane Mode when not in active use.
  • Use Speaker Phone rather than place the device next to your ear.
  • Use earbuds if a headset is needed.
  • Use phone only when the signal is strong, as radiation increases when it is weak (1-2 bars).

Landlines
Opt for corded landlines. Cordless phone base stations emit high levels of radiation.

Wi-Fi
Turn off Wi-Fi router when not in use, especially at bedtime.

Wearables
Avoid wearables such as wireless watches, sleep monitors, headsets, and fitness devices

Smart Meter Programs
Opt out of your electric, water, and gas utilities’ smart meter program. I tried this, but was unsuccessful. ConEd agreed that I had the right to opt-out due to health concerns. However, they deemed that they had the right to charge me a penalty of $100 per month for exercising that right. 

My objective is to support you in living your best life by making you aware of lifestyle changes and simple modalities that can help you to express your highest potential in this lifetime.

Please contact me if you would like to schedule an appointment to assess your holistic priorities. Feeling balanced mentally, physically, and emotionally is far more meaningful than any convenience. 😉

Ever try Flower Remedies? — FREE offer!

Spring is the season nature revives and regenerates. Flowers bloom, and human beings respond to this energy similarly.

Did you know that in addition to lifting our mood, flowers also have the power to heal the emotional imbalances we all develop as a part of being human? Flower essences, infusions of the vibrational qualities of flowers, are included in the emerging field of energy medicine. They carry an energetic frequency which can restore emotional imbalances.

As a certified Bach flower essence practitioner and intuitive, I frequently prescribe flower essences to my coaching clients. I’m able to determine exactly which of the 38 flower essences in Dr. Bach’s system your body is calling for.

For the month of May, I’m giving away a FREE 30-minute virtual flower essence therapy session to each of the first five people who sign-up.

Why is balancing your emotional states important? Your mental, physical, and emotional bodies are interconnected. Since ancient times, healers have believed that physical manifestations of disease have their root in emotional imbalances.

Today, many of us are not the same people we were when we rang in 2020. Our priorities have changed and we have revised, are revising, or want to revise the blueprint that previously directed us. These processes come with emotional challenges that can often lead to physical symptoms.

Flower essences (applied to the skin or ingested) are completely safe and have no side-effects or contraindications with medications. They can help you to balance emotions such as:

  • fear
  • overwhelm
  • discouragement
  • hopelessness and despair
  • living in the past
  • fatigue
  • impatience
  • lack of confidence
  • exhaustion
  • guilt
  • indecisiveness
  • shock
  • anguish after trying everything
  • isolation
  • uncertainty over one’s direction

To learn more about flower essences, Dr. Bach, and my journey with this ancient healing modality, read my article published last year, Five Tips to Support Change with Flower Essence Therapy.

I believe that human beings should thrive, not just survive. Emotional imbalances cause energetic blocks. When you release these constraints, you feel better holistically and are more able to express your potential. Isn’t this what life is about? 😉

Have You Overlooked Your Home?

Have You Overlooked Your Home?

by | Oct 13, 2021 | Holistic Life Coach, Well-being

Many clients overlook how the vibration of their home impacts their holistic health. Holistic well-being isn’t only about things like mindfulness, health, mindset, or your career & purpose. Like your body and mind, your home can accumulate energy that doesn’t support you in creating the life you want.

The overall vibe of a space is greatly influenced by the energy of the people living in it. However, past inhabitants, guests, clutter, furniture placement, color, and other factors can also impact it.

You don’t want your living space to be filled with heavy, stagnant, or stale energy that doesn’t support you as the creative being that you are.

Feeling like the energy of your space could be improved? You have the power to give it a tune-up. Here are some easy subtle energy tools with which to cleanse your home:

Smudging
Smudging is the burning of natural elements to cleanse a place of negative energy. The indigenous shamans I studied with in Mexico, Peru, and the American Southwest taught me that three of the most powerful tools for smudging are copal (tree resin), palo santo (wood), and white sage (herb). All are available for purchase on-line. Burn carefully.

Clutter
Clutter is a magnet for attracting stale energy. It also creates stress and leads to irritability and an inability to focus. Organize your rooms periodically to keep the vibe of both you and your space high.

Sunlight
Pull those curtains away! Sunlight heals and raises the vibration of your space by diffusing negative energy. Sungazing, a great way for people to raise their vibrations, has the same effect on your space.

Windows
Open windows daily. Fresh air is probably the original good vibration. Changing the air of your living space is critical, regardless of what season it is. Bring in new air to shift the vibration of a room.

Feng Shui
Feng shui is the ancient Chinese practice of intentionally arranging the objects in a living space in order to create balance and optimize its energy. This practice allows air, light, and energy to flow smoothly. A professional feng shui practitioner can help here.

Color
Color plays a pivotal role in your home. It can influence your emotions as well as neutralize negative energy. Just as every person’s color needs are unique, the same applies to your space. In general, try to stay away from dark colors. Consult a professional color therapist to help you identify which color your space is calling for.

Plants
Nature plays a vital role in healing. Plants purify both the air and energy of a room. Plus, green is the color of growth and creativity. Some plants work better than others. Try starting with orchid, ivy, jasmine, lavender, or peace lily.

Meditation
You are ultimately the greatest influence on the vibe of your living space. After trying the above techniques, it’s time to clear your mind, body, and spirit. Remember to meditate.

Quantum physics has shown us that everything is created from energy. I help clients to optimize their energy, or chi, by identifying where they hold energetic blocks to their holistic well-being. I then identify solutions to harmonize those blocks so they can feel more balanced and move forward. Creating intentional space is just one solution.

Please contact me if you would like help cleansing your space. 😉

A personal note — plus a FREE offer

A personal note — plus a FREE offer

by | Jul 20, 2021 | Holistic Life Coach, Well-being

Welcome to the many new subscribers and a warm hello to my existing followers.

We are in a time of such dramatic change and reinvention, and so many people are struggling with this restart that it seems like the right time to reach out and remind you of what I do. Also, I want to share a FREE offer (below).

As a holistic life & wellness coach with a goal of integrating your mind, body, and spirit, I offer 1:1 coaching to target a wide range of health and wellness issues. For example, I can help you or someone you know to:

  • Begin a meditation and mindfulness practice
  • Manage stress and anxiety
  • Achieve post-COVID exercise and fitness goals
  • End negative self-talk
  • Identify imbalances in health and develop a program of action
  • Organize and balance finances (I spent two decades as a wealth advisor)
  • Clarify and set intentions
  • Strategize your career and discover your purpose
  • Bring more soul into your life

For the month of August, I’m giving away FREE 30-minute sessions to the first five people who sign-up (you can reply to this email). Do it soon because these limited spaces will fill up. For a half hour you can ask me any question you want or discuss any topic related to your holistic well-being. Zero sales pitch, all ears, no obligation. My goal is to help more people at this critical time.

I also teach meditation to small groups and can deliver lunchtime wellness talks for your company or organization.

My Approach
I provide new perspectives and practices, some science-based and others from ancient wisdom. I am trained in applied positive psychology, mindfulness, meditation, motivational techniques, and many subtle energy practices that help you break through whatever is holding you back. My approach draws on my intuition and kinesiology (aka muscle testing) to take you from where you are to where you want to go.

My Philosophy
We are all energetic beings. Our energy impacts our physical and emotional realms, not the opposite. Any emotional or physical issue is a product of our energetic imbalance and will ultimately also influence our mental state.

I  believe that as humans we should thrive, not just survive. Wholeness is the key to thriving, but we are taught to view our mind, body, and spirit as separate from one another. This contradiction creates the conflict that results in discomfort and disease. I can help you to integrate these aspects of yourself by identifying and prioritizing the blocks that are preventing you from your wholeness. When you release these constraints, you can express your potential.

I look forward to hearing from you, even if it is only to say hello! 😉
