IF A STAR FELL

If a star fell from the sky
every time I thought of you
the world would fall so dark
the night a deathly hue.

If a leaf fell from a tree
every time I wished you near
the forest would be bare
a winter all the year.

If a wave stopped crashing in
every time I saw your smile
the shore would be so bleak
a barren rocky pile.

If a song was never sung
each time I ached for you
the land would be so quiet
pleasures would be few.

But none of this is so
the world keeps turning round
and though you're gone from sight
by love we're always bound.
-Donna Ashworth

On June 1, 1990, I lost my rock, my heart, my supporter, my cheerleader, my biggest fan. I was devastated the day she crossed over. After caring for my mother for five years through her cancer journey, I didn’t know what to do with myself. I felt so lost. But what I’ve learned through my lifetime of grieving with first the loss of of my dad at age 7, is we are always bound by our love and the relationship I have with my parents now has shifted from the physical to the spiritual level and that has made all the difference in healing my heart. 

Come experience a unique form of bodywork like no other on the planet.

Unlike other forms of massage, Thai massage is typically performed on a mat on the floor rather than a massage table. This allows the practitioner to have better leverage and to use their body weight to apply more pressure and stretch the recipient’s body with ease. The session begins with the recipient lying down on their back, fully clothed, and the practitioner starts to work on the body using a combination of rhythmic compressions, gentle rocking motions, and strategic stretches.
One of the key principles of Thai massage is the concept of energy lines, also known as Sen lines. These energy pathways are believed to run through the body, and when they become blocked or stagnant, it can lead imbalance within the body’s energy system.

Let Thai massage invoke relaxation, relieve stress, and restore balance in the mind and body.

Get yourself some today, your body will thank me.

I was a young woman in my twenties when I first was introduced to Louise Hay in the mid-eighties. She changed the trajectory, of not only myself, but also my heart path and how I would help other women heal their traumas.

I have struggled with depression and anxiety off and on since I was a little girl, which began shortly before my father’s tragic and fatal plane crash when I was 7 years old. My world at that young age was filled with spending time with my Dad flying different types of airplanes and exploring nature, he was a big outdoorsman and loved to teach me how to fish, but my reality changed in an instant on that fateful day.

Reading Louise’s books showed me a way out of the emotional pain I was experiencing and that was repeatedly being triggered as I engaged with my reality, her words gave me a tool, a way to help heal myself, change my reality and free myself from the long held grief of losing my father at such a young age.

Her work is just one of the many tools I utilize in my energy healing sessions with my clients. I have given away so many copies of her books over the years of “You Can Heal Your Life” and “Heal Your Body”, her words heal.

You are not alone in your healing journey to becoming a whole, thriving and creative woman. I hold space for you, I walk beside you, guiding and supporting you to be the best self.

As you Breathe In Wellness you will begin to stop holding your breath, exhale, and begin to take back your power as you heal your body, heal your spirit, and heal your mind.

The power to heal is within you.

hey chica's, well I'm only one day late on getting this posted, not slagging too much over here. But I am thrilled to be working with Momentum Yoga & Wellness. We have some fun and educational wellness classes that I will be teaching in the pipeline for this year. Can't wait to get back to teaching again. As most of you know I retired from nursing and my doula business last year although I'll miss my doula business, I know there is a new generation of doulas here in this county that are taking the reins and moving the profession forward and I am so grateful for them. My soul focus is now on seeing my massage & bodywork clients flourish this year. So come check out all the delicious massages and energy sessions that await you, and especially come move your b***y to some great yoga classes.

Beginning 3/1/22 I will start seeing clients at second location at Momentum Yoga & Wellness in Morehead City, NC.

Let's talk Fertility!!!
Suffice it to say…I understand that every fertility journey is unique and sometimes interventions like IVF are a godsend.
But long before you consider IVF, there are many other, smaller, less expensive, and non-invasive things you can try to boost fertility and help you get pregnant.

When a client who is struggling to get pregnant, I always suggest a cholesterol test first thing… but not for why you think.
Yes, we always hear that HIGH cholesterol is an issue…but for moms-to-be, I’m much more concerned about LOW cholesterol…specifically anything below 150.

Cholesterol is the building block for many hormones, including our s*x hormones, like progesterone.

It also plays a role in the formation of:
Androgens, like testosterone
Estrogens
Glucocorticoids, like cortisol
Mineralocorticoids, like aldosterone (which helps regulate fluid metabolism in the kidneys).

Without adequate cholesterol, you can’t make the hormones you need to ovulate and successfully carry a baby.

Other red flags for low cholesterol are:

• Fatigue

• Insomnia

• Missing/irregular periods

• Endurance sports (long-distance running, cycling, triathlons, etc.)

• Vegetarian or vegan diets

• Restricted or low-fat diets

So how can you raise low cholesterol levels?

Simple: eat animal products! Specifically, high-quality, grass-fed animal products like ghee, butter, fish and fish eggs, seafood, and even raw milk.

(This is the reason most traditional “fertility foods” are fatty animal products!)

And if you’re vegetarian or vegan… I do believe some people can thrive on these diets, but if your cholesterol is too low - you’re not thriving! That’s when adding back some animal products can make a huge difference in your health. Pasture-raised, humane dairy products and eggs are a great place to start.
You have to prepare your body for its most vital function of growing another human being.

Feed it right from the start!

Let’s talk about the hormonal & emotional changes women go through during Perimenopause, Menopause and Post Menopause.

The menopausal transition is actually a profound developmental stage in which unfinished business from the past comes up once again for resolution and healing, so that we can free ourselves from the outmoded beliefs and behaviors of our past. All the issues that weren’t resolved during puberty and early adulthood—such as body image, relationships, vocation, fear of aging, and self-esteem issues—now arise once more to be healed and completed.

Sometimes we need help physically through this transition, whether it be with bio identical hormone replacement therapy, herbs, and the use of essential oils. Biofeedback Therapy, Menopause Massage, Energy Bodywork and Psychotherapy can support us through the mental, physical and spiritual aspects to release what no longer serves us by healing our shadow side.

Come join me for a Menopause massage and energy healing session that I am offer to support the Wise Sage woman that you are and are becoming.

✨Menopause Massage supports women during this transformational journey coming back into our own through the use of massage, reflexology energy work and essential oils.
Bringing balance and focus back into your life and empowering you to become the glowing Wise Sage woman that you are meant to be.

Spiced Orange Garland

To me, the most beautiful way to decorate for the season is with DIY crafts like this spiced orange garland I'm about to share with you!

This dried citrus garland not only adds a pop of color to your tree or mantle, but the warm and spicy scent will infuse the air throughout your home, making it even cozier.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Baking time: 3 hours

Materials:

· Oranges (I use 2 oranges for a 3′ garland)

· Thieves essential oil

· A sharp knife

· Parchment paper or a baking mat

· Cookie sheet

· Twine

Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees and line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat. While the oven is warming, use a sharp knife to thinly slice the oranges cross-wise. Each slice should be no larger than 1/4-inch thick.

Pat the slices dry with a paper towel and lay flat on the baking sheet. Bake for about 3 hours, or until oranges are dehydrated but not burnt. To ensure the oranges dry flat, flip them over halfway through the baking process.

Once cooled, add 2-5 drops of Thieves to each dried orange slice.

To make the garland, poke two holes at the top of each orange slice.

Thread the string through the holes, spacing the oranges evenly from one another.

Keep threading the oranges through until all the slices are hanging from the string. Tie off each end of string in a loop. Hang over your mantle or over a window, or use it as a decoration for your tree when the time comes!

How are you decorating for the holidays?

Synthetic oils VS Essential plant oils

You might not have realized how pervasive synthetic fragrances are, but they are all around us in our daily lives. They are cheaply made and sold in health food, drug and department stores. They have no therapeutic efficacy and may even be harmful. For instance, fragrance-grade lavender if used topically may have a more harmful effect instead of a healing effect on newly burned skin if applied.
Air fresheners, perfumes, colognes, cleaning products, laundry products, and most all other household and personal care products contain artificial fragrances made in laboratories from petroleum and a whole host of chemicals, many of which are not so healthy to say the least.
These man-made scents attempt to imitate the natural fragrance of Essential Oils at a tiny fraction of the cost, which is the leading reason people choose them.
Synthetic oils are also able to reproduce a larger variety of smells and even create new scents that therapeutic essential oils cannot.

🍂 HARVEST CIDER 🍂

As we make our way into one of my most favorites times of year, I love to keep recipes in my back pocket to help celebrate the season! This Harvest Cider sure is a crowd pleaser and is easy to make large batches of!

• 2 quarts fresh apple cider

• 1 orange, unpeeled, cut into slices

• 3 drops Lemon Vitality

• 1 drop Cinnamon Bark Vitality

• 1 drop Clove Vitality

• 1 drop Nutmeg Vitality

• Cinnamon Sticks, for serving

Combine apple cider, orange slices and essential oils into a large pot, on low heat, for 10 minutes or more. Discard Orange slices and serve warm. Add 1-2 cinnamon sticks to individual cups when serving.
Hmmm...Yum!

✨Adventure into the Outback: 10 ways to use Australian Ericifolia ✨

With its big cities and blue waves, Australia sounds like the perfect getaway. Can’t make it to the land down under to see those stunning landscapes? Check out Australian Ericifolia, an oil straight from the Outback with a scent that’s as fresh and clean as the open air of the Australian bush!

Australian Ericifolia oil is extracted from the steam-distilled vivacious Melaleuca ericifolia, a plant that hails from the pristine landscapes of Tasmania. This Australian oil is also known as Lavender Tea Tree. As a cousin of Tea Tree, Australian Ericifolia combines the benefits of Tea Tree with the gentle fragrance of Lavender. Two great oils in one? Yes, please!

Australian Ericifolia essential oil has a clean, herbaceous smell with back notes that are freshly floral. Its sweet and woodsy scent is sure to remind you of Australian sunshine wherever you are!

Looking to create an essential oil blend of your own? Mix Australian Ericifolia with warm scents like Patchouli, exotic Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood™, or woodsy Cypress and Juniper.

HOW TO USE AUSTRALIAN ERICIFOLIA

Woodsy with lingering floral notes, the outdoorsy scent of Australian Ericfolia will have you hooked in no time! Great news—there are countless ways to use this oil. Check out our top 10 below!

1. Stash a fresh scent. Put a few drops of this essential oil on a cotton ball and tuck it into drawers or closets for a fresh and bright aroma.

2. Add a few drops to aloe vera gel after a dreamy day in the sun for an extra-clean scent. Combine with aloe vera’s moisturizing properties for some post-sun pampering!

3. Try a DIY foot soak for a mini staycation! Add a few drops of Australian Ericifolia, Peppermint, and Lemongrass to your footbath for a sweet and woodsy aroma during your downtime.

4. Add a few drops to your favorite hand lotion for a freshly floral scent while you imagine Australian shores, no matter where you are!

5. Bring some Australian sunshine indoors with an essential oil room spray! To a spray bottle, add 4 ounces water, 2 ounces witch hazel, 15 drops Australian Ericifolia, 10 drops Cedarwood, and 10 drops of Purification® essential oil blend. Spritz anywhere a space needs a refresh!

6. Want more staycation ideas? Treat yourself to a DIY scalp scrub! Mix 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon hair oil, 1 drop Australian Ericifolia, and 1 drop Rosemary. Relax as you massage the scrub into your scalp, and then follow your usual wash-and-dry routine.
