Invite bliss in today.
I’m curious… What do you want more of? What is your deepest desire right now? What would make your heart sing? Take a moment to roll around in your biggest dream right now. Can you hold yourself in this space right now? Sometimes it’s hard to keep up that energy and those good vibes for very long but just notice how you can access them right now without changing anything. Perhaps you’re struggling to even let yourself feel the bliss of your dream? Have you given yourself perm

Exhausted from trying to get eating "right"?
If you’re here, I suspect it maybe because you’re feeling exhausted trying to get this eating thing “right” with only fleeting moments of success if at all? If that’s you, I want to assure you that you are definitely not alone AND there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. You’re not broken, you don’t need to be mended, your plan for how to eat… or how you think you should eat… has simply failed you. Today I want to share a little bit of my ‘before’ picture. I’ve been at the

Pursuit of Health and No Diet Day
How much preparation, time, energy, and mental space has eating well and exercising taken? AND… what impact have you noticed? Do you stand in front of the sink, sneaking morsels (or think about sneaking morsels) from that cake that needs a little trim before you tuck it away in the fridge? Could your pursuit of health and ‘being good’ be what’s holding you back from actualizing into your highest self? If you’re pleased with your pursuit of eating well and exercising, keep do

Winter in Spring + Food Cravings
Even though it's snowing outside on April 17th, I trust that change is coming! I know that Mother Nature is transforming things for us, we just can't see it yet! Well, just like the change in seasons isn't an overnight transformation, changing our relationship with food to a more positive one takes time too. If you've been following food rules or dieting to guide your eating rather than your hunger, fullness and satisfaction, it will take time to get re-acquainted. Likely eve

You're Invited
Hi Y’all! I’m currently on a big undertaking to find out how you really feel about eating, food and your body. You’re super intelligent, kind and you have a brilliant life but you may be struggling with one thing – finding an eating plan that keeps your mind AND body happy at the same time. I would be honoured if you would be willing to share your Food & Body Story with me. What do you love about eating and your body? What do you hate? Are they maybe even the same thing? What

I Believe in Magic
As I think back on the last few years, a lot has changed in my life, but in many ways these changes have opened windows into my deep truths, the ones that stay the same regardless of what happens on the outside. With my environment shifting around me, I knew I had to dig deep to keep myself grounded. I’ve spent quite a bit of time rolling around down there and I'm finally ready to do the work that truly inspires me. My master plan for 2017 and coincidentally my biggest lifeti

Food and Me.
Food and me have always had this special kind of relationship. I learned that it could help subdue my emotions, and my gosh do I seem to have lots of these. Food was there to help soothe me – offering a distraction so I could avoid what I felt could be an embarrassing emotional display. Why was I so sensitive, why did I wear my heart on my sleeve? Growing up, showing these emotions just didn’t feel safe or even acceptable. I felt unbelievably vulnerable. My answer, my protect
