Holistic healthcare doesn’t work.

Here’s why.

I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin, therapist, healer, friend... the list can go on when we look at how many titles we are connected to. With all the love and enjoyment that comes with being all of those titles, there also comes responsibilities, commitments and obligations. All the work that we do in our lives are directly connected to our relationships. If those relationships are draining, well then there won’t be much energy left for anything else. 

It seems that society has taught us that the hustle and bustle approach to life is the best way to be productive. They say things like ‘Keep busy and fill up your days’. The result of that has proven to be stressful and 90 % of dis-eases and illness are stress related. 

So much so that now, almost everyone is looking for a quick fix. A pill or substance to take to make it all go away or someone to take the pain away in one ‘energy session’. I have noticed an increased trend in people now coming to me saying things like: I don’t want to keep taking my medication so can you give me any herbs or concoctions to help fix my problem? How long will it take? Will I be cured? What foodS should I eat that will heal me? 

Holistic health is best used as preventative medicine. An approach that takes an investment of time and trust. A minset that ‘this is not instant results but it is working behinds the scenes’ to make me stronger, healthier and happier.  

The truth is, it can work for you and it does work. But you need to apply it whole heartily, commit to it everyday. And if you fall off track, It’s ok, dust yourself off keep going.  Because with commitment, patience, discipline and self-love it will work. 

To make it work for you, START SMALL. Keep it simple and most importantly...Breathe deeply and exhale fully. 

Make healthier choices. Take on simple practices, waking up earlier, getting exercise in any form you feel connected to (yoga, walk, run aerobics, boxing etc) simple short guided meditation to connect you to the moment. Choosing to choose better thoughts. Stock up on spices and herbs. Get out into nature.

Focus on honouring yourself first before you can honor those around you. See a naturopath for guidance on nutrition and exercise choices that are best for you. 

This may not be instant cure but it will produce long lasting results.

🎶 What is Vibrational Sound Healing?

While people sometimes think a Sound Bath involves a tub and water experience as the word 'bath' implies, it is not quite that lol. Attending a sound bath or a private sound healing session may have become a popular service recently, but is one of the oldest and most powerful methods known to our world. "If meditation is taking the stairs, a sound bath is taking the elevator," Sara Auster, a Brooklyn-based sound therapist explains. "A sound bath [may] allow you to experience meditative states and relaxation within the short period of one session. With other types of meditation, one might have to practice consistently for a few weeks or months to feel the same kind of effect.” It can be the perfect introduction to meditation for beginners.  What Is a Vibrational Sound Bath? A sound bath is basically a meditation class (group or private) that allows you to enter into a deep meditative state while you are ‘bathed’ in ambient sounds played by your guide. The pa

Energy healing (Reiki or Chakra Balancing)

The who, what, where, when, how and most importantly why ? In physics, energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object. Energy is a conserved quantity; the law of conservation of energy states that energy can be converted in form, but not created or destroyed. (Wikipedia) Ummm what??? Basically, from the days of Albert Einstein to today's mainstream Deepak Chopra, we know that everything is made up of 'energy'. A sort of invisible force that makes things form, move, shift and morph. Without making it sound too woo-woo or esoteric, think of it like this.  Just like a low WiFi signal will slow down your internet connection causing it to eventually shut down or  disconnect all together, your  mind and body can become weakened by the energy bodies, in and around it , being low on energy thus causing a weakened connection. Bear with me for a brief overview: As humans, we have

🌸 It's time to lighten your load!

🌸  Spring is coming!   It's time to lighten your load! As we finally emerge from Winter with Kapha in excess, we require assistance in eliminating all the toxic sludge (AMA) of Winter that is congesting our bodily systems.   Ayurveda is a science of qualities and relates to how we interact with the world.  The characteristics of Winter are wet, cold, dense, slow and hibernation.  We interact with this environment and absorb these qualities feeling sluggish, congested with a slower metabolism we gain weight, have a lack of motivation, a heaviness and dullness in the mind and body, and may experience excessive sleep.  We need to clear this heaviness and encourage the rejuvenation of Spring! Spring brings movement, water begins to flow again, flowers bloom, birds build nests – it’s a time of renewed energy and positivity.  We need to prepare our bodies adequately to benefit from this interaction so we once again can flow and bloom too! Here are some suggestions for combatting the hea
