Thank you for committing to your holistic well-being this year. Wouldn’t you like to see all of your loved ones do the same and thrive?

Material possessions bring fleeting happiness. Choose a holiday gift that will have a lasting positive impact instead. Consider giving a gift certificate for a Breakthrough Session of holistic life & wellness coaching or Meditation Training to help your friends, colleagues, or loved ones live better in 2023. 

I’m offering a discounted gift special this holiday season. Please feel free to share it with friends and family.

Meditation Training Session (1 hour: $110, 3 Sessions: $275) – I help people to begin or deepen a meditation practice. Meditation is scientifically proven to decrease stress & anxiety, reduce symptoms of high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, burnout & fatigue, improve sleep, focus & memory, slow aging, and boost the immune system, mood & general happiness level. These sessions provide historical and physiological context on meditation, concrete tips, and help creating an action plan. Each session includes a guided meditation customized to your gift recipient’s needs.

Breakthrough Session (1 hour: $125) – Has someone you care about talked about their desire to improve physically, mentally, or emotionally? Do they need to gain clarity on what they truly want? Make a difficult decision or prepare for a tough conversation or interview? Brush up their resume or cover letter? Create an actionable plan for better health? 

This single session will have your loved one walk away with a list of priorities to help them get unstuck. Through my training in science-based modalities for well-being, various philosophical belief systems, and subtle energy techniques such as mantra, flower essences, EFT, and more, I can help your gift recipient:

  • Better manage stress & anxiety
  • Identify imbalances in health and develop a program of action
  • Evaluate their mindset
  • Organize finances (I spent two decades as a wealth advisor)
  • Strategize career 
  • Feel more empowered

There is no gift with a more lasting positive impact that you could give. My work benefits everyone from C-suite executives to college students. Plus, it’s fun!

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.

Ever try Flower Remedies? — FREE offer!

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? 😉

How Balanced is Your Wheel? Find out here…

As a holistic life & wellness coach, I’m a transformation agent helping you to attain greater holistic health and fulfillment in your life.

Holistic health requires enhancing your mental, physical, and emotional energy bodies. To do this, you will want to evaluate and possibly refine several critical aspects of your life — mindfulness, health, home, relationships, personal growth, mindset, finances, and career & purpose.

I have designed a Wheel of Life (“Wheel”) to support you in this effort. This self-assessment tool will help to clarify where you stand with respect to your holistic wellness.

We sometimes push realizations that would require disruption of our existing patterns to our subconscious mind. To make effective changes in your life, you must also engage your subconscious. Research shows that visuals transmit messages to your subconscious mind more powerfully than words. Creating your Wheel will help your subconscious mind to communicate your priorities to your conscious mind.

I invite you to map out your Wheel. You will see below that each piece of this “holistic pie” has gradations. Please rate each area from 0 – 10. Then connect all of the dots with a line that will form a circle (of sorts). Ideally, you want your wheel to be round. But, no one has a round wheel. 😉

Which aspects of your life feel satisfying and which aspects not so much? What changes do you want to stop waiting for? Do you feel equipped to transform these areas? Or, could you use some support, intuitive guidance, and access to carefully curated and effective modalities that will help you to move forward?

It’s already March. Don’t let 2022 be another year of limited potential. I can help you to balance a lopsided or small Wheel. Are you with me?

If you answered “yes,” please contact me to book an exploratory session today.

It’s that time of the year again!

How Grateful Are You?

How Grateful Are You?

by | Aug 29, 2019 | Health Coach, Wellness

“Gratitude is the Abracadabra of the universe.”
-Adironda, Marilyn Harper

It was crowded on the Canal Street subway platform. I was waiting to take the Q train home after having dinner with a friend. It’s not unusual to find musicians performing in New York City’s subway system. But on this evening, I was greeted by a magician. 

The magician performed his magic act in silence, except for an occasional “Abracadabra!” This invocation seemed to create magic. Seemingly out of nowhere, white, pink, and red roses appeared in the palm of his hand.

Watching his performance reminded me that I had been sensing magic, meaning unexpected positive happenings, in my life. While on the ride uptown, amidst the shuffling of people, announcements, and annoying tone alerting riders of the closing doors, I wondered what our “Abracadabra!” is. What creates magic for us?

I had recently been feeling deeply grateful for the opportunity to build my coaching business. Being creative and helping others thrive makes me feel complete. The answer hit me:

Feeling gratitude and no need for anything to be different is your “Abracadabra!”. 

In other words, gratitude produces the good vibes that generate abundance. Hence, the ability to manifest welcome happenings in your life is all about how grateful you feel. This revelation is a pretty big deal.

Our conditioning (see March blog post, “Who Am I?”) leads us to chase after how things should be rather than appreciate what is. 

I’m as guilty of this lack of presence as any of my clients. It’s a behavior that I’ve consciously worked on and have made some progress with. In my July blog post (see “A Life You Don’t Need To Escape”), I wrote about my experience creating a life I am so present with that I don’t feel the need to break away. 

The month of August leaves me feeling profoundly grateful for my family, health, friends, clients, life experiences, and opportunities for growth. That’s not to say that a disappointment or two hasn’t come up. When they occurred, I retreated to the beach for the afternoon. Inhaling the sea spray led me to the realization that there are lessons inherent in every situation. By the end of the day, being in nature helped me to understand what they were.

I moved towards even deeper gratitude.

Afterward, unexpected clients, publishers, friends, and even invitations to savor these final days of summer by the sea appeared.

One of those offers was irresistible. I’ll be away for the next few weeks, disconnected from electromagnetic devices, feet up, taking in a good book, the salt air, and feeling grateful.

Thank you to the magician and every person who has touched my life during the magical moments of the past year.

Abracadabra! 😉

Since ancient times, September has been viewed as the beginning of the spiritual new year by several different cultures. A sense of new beginnings is palpable.
