Fall into Health

Oct7

What if I told you could reset your life in the next 30 days – from Surviving to Thriving?

 

 

Optimal health is being well mind, body and spirit, not just avoiding illness.

Personal experience has shown me moving through life while completely burned out is the exact opposite!

 

Can you relate?

 

Most often we are told that the secret to health is to diet better, exercise harder, and shop smarter!

While there is truth to that, how are we supposed to make time for that when our lives are already so full?

What if I told you there was a better way?

What if there was a way to move from surviving to truly thriving, holistically and simply?

I’m talking about waking up with joy each morning, knocking out that to-do list, and doing it without sacrificing time and energy with your loved ones to do it!

Seasonal Living is the Key!

As women, we are cyclic beings being called daily, weekly, seasonally to rest, release, and restore. Using the cycle of our bodies and the cycle of the seasons as a guide to mind/body/spirit healing connection and abundance. Our luteal phase (premenstrual) corresponds with the energy of autumn and the enchantress, when the trees are releasing their leaves and turning inward to prepare for a glorious spring. Showing us the joy in letting go!

Teaching women this concept, it is often the most significant but difficult change for them to incorporate each month because they were never taught to know and honor their bio-individual cycles, to understand the necessity, value and power – of slowing down, truly resting, and releasing the things that are not serving them any longer. This is a key factor that makes women statistically more likely than men to experience overwhelm, addiction, anxiety, burnout, chronic fatigue, depression  and more!

 

Do any of these sound familiar???

 

*I want to feel better, but I always lose my motivation, and I don’t know why. 

**I want to be healthier, but I don’t have time to go to the gym or do a lot of meal prepping.

***I want to feel more present in my life, but I don’t know how to balance all of my priorities to make it feel manageable. 

Making healthier decisions doesn’t have to be boring, hard, or time-consuming. And they don’t have to be entirely food-focused. 

 

Introducing the Fall into Health Program.

Over the next 30 days, we will do a deep dive into areas of your life that may be causing dis-ease and imbalance to your life, overall health and joy, in a way that adds ease, without adding more to your already full life.

 

Week 1: Release & Replace. This week we’ll work on releasing what isn’t serving you and replacing these unhelpful habits with nourishing ones.

Week 2: Grounding Practices & Foods. This week we’ll learn about what foods naturally ground you & grounding practices that can help you feel clear-headed and present in your daily life.

Week 3: Gentleness & Rejuvenation. This week we’ll learn the importance of self-care and how you can easily incorporate it into your life regularly to feel rejuvenated and satisfied.

Week 4: A Well Balanced Life. Before we finish our month together, we’ll take a look at each area of your life and see where you are feeling unbalanced or unhappy. Then, we’ll craft a plan of action to help you balance those areas of your life moving forward. 

 

It’s going to be a powerful month to tap into the Autumn season and learn to follow the divine guidance of our cyclical nature. As the trees release their leaves, we’ll dig in and figure out what we need to release as well.

Who’s this program for? 

  • Mompreneurs – burned-out barely surviving each day but knows there is a better way to achieving her dreams.
  • The woman who dreads getting her cycle each month because it so energy depleting
  • Goal oriented women who know that they need to slow down for optimal health but doesn’t know where to begin
  • Stay at home moms with full lives who are tired of being told to add more things to be better moms!

 

Invest in YOUR present wellness, instead of future illness!

 

We will walk through a process that will really help you figure out what you need.

Self-care gets put on the back burner all too often.  Investing in yourself will bring vitality to your life and lift up other people along the way.

Learning to release old patterns and thoughts can create a whole new mindset to your health.

Healthy homes, families and communities start with healthy women and mothers. 

Start with you and everything else will fall into place

You are your most valuable asset, Let the healing begin

Finding Balance

Dec6

Is your life feeling out of balance?

No matter what we use as criteria when it comes to experiencing balance in our lives, we have certain needs that need to be filled throughout our lives and the more balanced our fulfillment of these needs, the smoother our boat will sail and the closer to balance we will get.

IIN calls it primary foods

Maslow called it a hierarchy of needs

Anthony Robbins called it a wheel

I call it a bliss.

Whatever we call it, it all comes down to balance.

If our life is not in balance then we are in trouble.

  • Self Actualization (morality, creativity, problem solving, learning, lack of prejudice, acceptance of facts)
  • Esteem (self esteem, confidence, respect)
  • Love and Belonging (friendship, family and intimacy)
  • Safety (security of body, health, family, property, employment, resources and morality)
  • Physiological (breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion)

Everyone can rank these in a different order of importance. At the same time, we may each rank them differently at different times in our lives. What is certain? If one of the above is lacking and another is over emphasized, then we are out of balance.

Anthony Robbins does an exercise with a wheel representing career, physical, spiritual and financial. We have to rank each by “how it is going.” Visually we are able to see, for example, that we are doing great financially and physically, but perhaps not spiritually or career-wise. If we are out of balance, our wheel will not roll.

The Institute for Integrative Nutrition calls it “primary foods.” Outside our triangle of nutrition is a circle that consists of relationship, spirituality, career and physical activity.

The truth is, we can fix what we eat.  We can eat more greens and get rid of processed foods, but if we don’t take care of the other areas of our life, we will still not experience balanced health and happiness. You can be completely healthy with your diet yet still feel imbalanced.

To help you see the topics more clearly, take a look at the following basic needs and ways of fulfillment.

Self Actualization (morality, creativity, problem solving, learning, lack of prejudice, an acceptance of facts)

Prayer, Thoughtfulness, Meditation

Journaling

Fun

Study

Spirituality

Contribution

Esteem (self esteem, confidence, and respect)

Gratitude

Feelings

Love and Belonging (friendship, family and intimacy)

Relationship building

Care giving

Forgiveness

Intimacy

Safety (security of body, health, family, property, employment, resources and morality)

Environmental safety

Health & well being

Job Security

Career growth

Financial empowerment

Environmental preservation

Ethics and morality

Physiological (breathing, environmental, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis, excretion)

Clean air, meditation, breathing exercise

Environmental impact on health and well being through design (ex. bringing nature into the home, healthy light, smart space)

Mastering Your Time

Oct28

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.

-Mark Twain

Time Management 101

Have you ever wished for a few more hours in the day?

Why is it that some people seem to get everything done effortlessly and others feel that time constantly eludes them?

The secret to managing your time well isn’t working more hours.

It is about prioritizing the important things and learning to use the time you have more efficiently and effectively.

The secret is working smarter, not harder.

Some of us, by nature, organize and get tasks out of the way before we relax, while others of us play first and work later. It is important to first recognize which type you are and whether your style is allowing you to have the life you really want. Maybe you are super-organized at work, but burned out because you don’t know how to make time for yourself. Maybe you are naturally a less organized person who knows how to relax, but you are dissatisfied because you aren’t fulfilling your goals and dreams.

Rather than labeling yourself or beating yourself up, realize that time management is an area of your life that you can strengthen. Like a new muscle, it takes practice and repetition to make it stronger. To help you get started, here are some steps to streamline your days at work and at home. Try the first one or two that jump out at you:

  • Allocate time for planning and organizing.
  • Create to-do lists that are realistic, not intimidating. Use only one to-do list.
  • Under-schedule your time: Leave time for the unexpected and for interruptions. When you estimate how long something will take, add on a third of that time.
  • Schedule your time in a way that reduces interruptions that lower your productivity.
  • Practice the art of intelligent neglect: Eliminate trivial tasks.
  • Prioritize what is most important and do that first.
  • Consider your biological prime time: At what time of day do you work best? Plan to do your most important work at that time.
  • If you say yes to everything that comes your way, learn to say no.
  • Ask for help and delegate.
  • In the evening make your to-do list for the next day, so it will be out of your brain and on a piece of paper. Leave work with a clear head and a clean desk.
  • Acknowledge yourself daily for all that you have accomplished.

Also take a look at the two biggest hindrances to using time effectively: procrastinating and lacking purpose. We usually procrastinate when a task seems too daunting, too large or too complex, or when we feel we won’t be able to handle it. When you get that “deer in the headlights” feeling, try “chunking”: break the large task into smaller, manageable action steps and start with the first one. We also often drag our heels or use our time inefficiently because we are bored, un-engaged and uninspired. The most effective people will tell you that they love what they do and are aligned with a greater purpose.

When it comes to managing your time, you may need to ask the larger questions, “Am I doing what I love to do? Am I doing something meaningful to me?”

As you strengthen your new time management muscle, keep your focus on getting organized so that you can live the life you came here for. Instead of being a chore, good time management can be your ticket to more fun, greater satisfaction and a vibrant, exciting life.

Food Focus:

Root Vegetables

The roots of any plant are its anchor and foundation; they are the essential parts that support and nourish the plant. Root vegetables lend these properties to us when we eat them, making us feel physically and mentally grounded and rooted, increasing our stability, stamina and endurance. Roots are a rich source of nutritious complex carbohydrates, providing a steady source of necessary sugars to the body. Instead of upsetting blood sugar levels like refined sweet foods, they regulate them. Since they absorb, assimilate and supply plants with vital nutrients, roots likewise increase absorption and assimilation in our digestive tracts.

Long roots, like burdock, carrots, parsnips and daikon radish, are excellent blood purifiers and can help improve circulation in the body and increase mental clarity . Round roots, like turnips, radishes, beets and rutabagas, are nourishing to the stomach, spleen, pancreas and reproductive organs and can help regulate blood sugar and moods, and alleviate cravings.

Recipe of the Month:

Roasted Root Vegetables

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25-35 minutes

Yield: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

1 sweet potato

2 parsnips

2 carrots

2 turnips or 1 large rutabaga

1 red onion (if you like)

1 daikon radish (or substitute/add in your favorites, like squash)

olive oil

salt and pepper

herbs: rosemary, thyme or sage (fresh if possible)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Wash and chop all vegetables into large bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place in a large baking dish with sides.
  4. Drizzle with olive oil; mix well to coat each vegetable lightly with oil.
  5. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and herbs.
  6. Bake uncovered for 25-35 minutes until vegetables are tender and golden brown, checking every 10 minutes to stir and make sure veggies are not sticking.

Note: Any combination of vegetables will work.

Roasting only one kind of vegetable also makes a nice side dish.

Holistic Health Coaching

Jan8

1

Health coaching is a relatively new profession, but the idea behind it is really rooted in how we, as human beings, operate.

As a Health Coach, I help you work with your unique body, and take into consideration how everything in your life affects your health and wellness.

2

  • I work with the concept of bio-individuality. My approach is client-driven. Instead of getting a one-size-fits-all meal plan based on a cookie-cutter approach or one fad diet, I create customized plans for my clients based on their individual circumstances, lifestyle habits, health condition and other needs.
  • I approach nutrition as “whole foods”, instead of compartmentalizing them into individual nutrients such as calories, carbs, proteins, fats etc. Why? Because the synergistic relationship among these various components when they are ingested in the form of whole foods deliver much more benefits than when they are taken as individual nutrients.
  • With my health coaching program, I work with my clients over several months with sessions that last 50-60 minutes.  I am able to be with them every step of the way so that we are able to look into lifestyle choices and work on changing habits, resulting in meaningful and positive behavioral changes that last for a long time, delivering long-term health benefits.
  • My coaching is goal-, action- and result-oriented. My approach focuses on implementation and integration, so that healthy changes are integrated into your life. We live in the age of information overload – you don’t need more information, you need to know which information to use and how to make them work for your life.
  • Instead of treating the symptoms, I work with my clients to get to the underlying causes of their health concerns. We look at how issues such as stress, emotional distress, physical activities, lack of “soul nourishment” etc. effect our overall well-being. I help my clients cultivate the awareness to improve all areas of their lives.
  • I support my clients to work with their body on healing itself so that they can eventually reduce the amount of medication that they rely on.
  • Instead of forcing my clients to stick to some “plan” which does not work for them, I first listen to my clients’ needs and concerns, then work with them to get over blocks or resistance, making any behavioral changes they make stick.
  • As your Health Coach, I support you to live your life to the fullest.

3

  • Working with me, you will get:
    • A plan of ACTION that is realistic, practical and actionable
    • GUIDANCE to implement changes that work with your lifestyle
    • SUPPORT to course correct and stay on track
    • ACCOUNTABILITY that leads to success that lasts a lifetime

4

Chances are, if you invest in your health and wellness, you will recover your investment and more through savings in medications, doctor’s visits, unnecessary supplements, fad diets, ineffective treatments, as well as increased productivity and fewer sick days.

Plus, who can put a price on more vitality, less stress, better relationships, and a happier existence?

To find out if health coaching is right for you, I invite you to a

FREE 50 minute Clarity Session during which we will discover how I can support you for a healthier, happier life.

Seasonal Whole Food Program

Sep19

Welcome to Sacred Body Reboot  Seasonal Whole Food  Program

Revitalize, Reboot + Glow in 11 Simple Days

 

This 11-Day Program is going to change your life forever:

You will improve your digestion, boost your immune system and lose weight in a safe and effective way.

  • Are you ready to recharge?

  • Are you ready to shed excess weight?

  • Are you ready to boost your Immune System?

  • Are you ready to kick sugar cravings, food intolerance and fatigue to the curb?

  • Are you ready to ditch the diets, stop counting calories and reboot your metabolism?

This is your opportunity to revitalize, reboot and re”PH”resh

your system in 11 simple and delicious days.

 

 

 

“Sacred Eating gave me my life back..It seemed like no matter what choices i made towards health I just become more ill, with more symptoms and prescriptions…I realized I was sacred and deserved the best and once the way was paved and explained, things started to make sense!I am forever grateful to this program and the difference it has made for me!”

~ TM, Visionary – Georgia

Why is it essential to eat clean and sacred according to the seasons?

Our bodies go through shifts during every season.
It is important to eliminate built-up toxins so your body releases the old that may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts or suppressing your immune system.
Seasonal Sacred Eating allows the body to shift gradually into eating foods that are designed to be eaten during the current season. Foods you craved and ate during the summer may be counter-productive during the fall season and what you crave in fall may be non-immune supporting in winter, etc.

In this 11 Day program, you will not only learn the tools you need to support your metabolism through the changing season, but you will renew your cells and begin glowing from the inside out as you dive into chef-created meals that are designed to have you feeling vibrant and alive and not bogged down.

 

This is a guided 11-Day whole food eating program 

based solely on eating only real food.

 

You will prepare your body for the upcoming winter months.

This means fewer colds, less internal inflammation, and more consistent elimination for proper detoxification.

Safe and effective cleansing should support your body naturally to reboot, recharge, and unclog your organs.

 

Why is this Whole Food Program Different?

You will learn how to prepare, prep, and create delicious meals that will support you to transition in a safe and natural way. Preparing and releasing impurities is not about drinking juices, only eating smoothies, or living on the water. Instead, this 3-prong program is based on the elimination diet. By doing this program, you will learn what foods are beneficial to eat during the year and how to incorporate what you have learned throughout your life.

This program is for you if you have been experiencing the following:

  • Headaches

  • Mood swings

  • Low energy

  • Indigestion

  • Constipation

  • Excess weight

  • Food allergies

  • Insomnia

  • Skin conditions like acne & eczema

“I have multiple diagnosis, Where to begin, Do you have all night? Someone who loves me very much gave me this program as a gift.
I didn’t know if it would work or not. What did I have to lose? Nothing could be worse than the hell I was already living. So glad that I got out of my comfort zone and foods… learned something that made true change a reality for me! I was challenged to make changes that put myself and well-being first! What a light bulb moment, to realize I wasn’t putting self first and making good choices, then to feel the difference, I had more energy but I learned to honor myself when I was wiped out too.
In Gratitude to finding the Sacred In me through my food and my relationship with it.

~ KS, WAHM – Georgia

Did you know?

The body can carry around 5 to 10 pounds of toxic waste, which slows down metabolism, impairs your immune system and leaves you feeling tired and sluggish.

“Toxins from food and the environment can make you fat. Toxins may come in the form of medication, bacteria, industrial chemicals, and heavy metals, such as mercury. These pollutants can damage or block the signals that control your appetite. You can detoxify your body with the right balance of protein, fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients found in plant foods.” ~ Dr. Mark Hyman 

 

sacred-body-reboot

Celebrations, Dedications & Weddings

Sep19

Picture

During these important and often life changing milestones, ritual and ceremony can play a vital role, providing us a divine and graceful moment to genuinely connect with the Sacred within, which for some can be a invaluable source of celebration, support and/or empowerment to move onward with increased vitality and hope. Being an ordained inter-faith celebrant it is my great honor and privilege to be a integral part of these most precious moments (both great & small as well as joyous and somber)

Each of us embarks on a path that has many obstacles, victories, joy, sorrow, and laughter. Not sure where we will end up, we have faith and move into the unknown. Rejoicing at what’s to come and living each day as fully and openly as possible.

Picture

I work with individuals, couples and groups to personalize and customize each ceremony around your traditions, desires and needs. Together we can co-create a ceremony or ritual that reflects your personal style, and desire to celebrate all of who you are and how far you’ve come as well as what the journey has meant to you.

  • Weddings, Affirmation of Love, Commitment Ceremonies, Vow Renewals
  • Baptism/Baby Naming/Dedication/Blessing
  • Dedication Ceremonies-business, gallery, studio, new project

Healthy Skin Care

Sep19

Wholisthetics is the the parent program of

Sacred Connection Health & Life Arts(SCHALA).

Skin Care, one of my first passions helped me birth SCHALA in order to satisfy a growing demand for continued support beyond your basic skin care treatment.

All specifically chosen to work synergistically by integrating different mind, body, and spirit modalities including Aromatherapy, Body Care, as well as, Energy work, such as, Integrated Energy Therapy, all facilitated by a licensed and certified professional.

Emphasis is placed on bringing to light the very harmful effects of Environmental Toxicity, and why Organics, Effective Skin Care and incorporating Healthy Diet, Products, Lifestyle and Wellness choices are vital to our daily living and over all health and well being.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION

  •  To maintain long-lasting results & healthy skin, a professionally designed home care program is essential.

ABOUT HOME CARE
Proper home care is a necessity for maintenance between facials & prevention of premature aging & problem conditions.

The beneficial effects of a facial treatment can be greatly compromised & progress delayed by using inappropriate products at home.

The skin is the largest organ of the body & needs proper nourishment regularly like any other part of the body.

Basic skin products are recommended during the day for hydration & sun protection.

Cosmeceutical products are recommended at night to perform anti-aging work in the deeper layers of the skin while the body is resting, repairing & regenerating itself.

Basic skin care products include cleansers, toners, moisturizers, masks, gentle exfoliating scrubs, eye creams, eye makeup removers, & sunscreens for the face.

Cosmeceuticals are a cross between basic cosmetics & pharmaceutical ingredients.

In recent years, innovative research has given us this group of products available to aestheticians & physicians, facilitating more dramatic changes in skin condition than basic skincare.

These include Alpha Hydroxy Acids (specifically Glycolic Acid), topical Vitamin C Serum, Retinol Creams, Oxygen Creams, Vitamin K cream for inflamed capillaries, products for Rosacea, Acne & problematic skin. Serums that contain a high percentage of active ingredients can exfoliate at a deeper level, stimulate collagen fiber production, deeply hydrate skin & repair damaged tissue.

These are sold only to licensed professionals who are able to monitor your progress & make changes when necessary to achieve results far greater than any product one could purchase over the counter

Oracle Guidance

Sep19

rose-quartz-1447239_960_720

I love doing oracle and tarot readings.

They don’t tell you what to do.

They don’t predict the future.

They simply provide guidance.

You will receive a nudge, wink, or confirmation from the Divine.

I believe we already have the information we need within.

Our soul and the Divine are speaking to us all the time but with the busy world we live in, we aren’t always sure which voice is speaking…

Our inner wisdom or inner critic.

Know this, your soul and the Divine always speak the language of love and compassion.

They are here to help you.

You are wiser than you know and the tarot and oracle are simply a tool to help you trust what’s within.

Remember, you always have free will. You are co-creating your future with the energy behind your thoughts.

Guided Coaching ~ via phone or Skype
When you click the “buy button” you will be asked to:

  • choose oracle deck

50 (Fifty minute) one-on-one session in person or over the phone. $125

My Approach

Sep19

439074I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.

Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

Here are some concepts that we will explore during our work together:

Bio-individuality™: The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background. I use a personalized, holistic approach to ensure that you will have great success!

Primary Food™: It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.

Integrative Nutrition™ Plate: The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!

You can learn more about my training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

My teachers included:
Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine;
Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine;

I work with clients to help them make lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results.
