What's your daily dessert?
I'm currently addicted to this GF Cookies & Cream White Chocolate from
that comes in the perfect portion size.

If you're looking to shed the weight, indulge a little and have their small portioned candy that happens to be healthy with fun in mind!

This organic maple-cayenne chia pudding made with kefir is the PERFECT brunch for a 16:8 fast!

A little heat πŸ”₯ to get your metabolism going and protein with healthy pre and probiotics to keep your gut in balance. βš–οΈ

Plus, it's only 375 calories.
23g protein
10g fat
35 carbs

One can still eat this if their daily net carbs remains 60 or below for a Modified Atkins, Keto (there are 7 types!), or general low carb as this will keep you full until 5 pm where you can have a robust low carb veggie and protein for your 2nd meal.

After all, 3 meals a day is actually too much!

April is a month for DEEP spring cleaning. Perhaps it is time to let in that fresh air and release that stagnant energy which no longer supports your best and highest good.

πŸ’… Your nails may look cute but do they look healthy? Manicures can hide our daily mishaps but also, the ugly truth we might need to see.

MY UGLY TRUTH:

β€’ My pale nails indicate I need to check for anemia

β€’ Vertical lines point to my vitamin B imbalances, typical for and malabsorption syndrome. Thanks,

β€’ My dry skin and cuticles indicate that my body is not retaining moisture. Time to reevaluate what hydrating πŸ’§ foods I need to consume

β€’ Dark bands (Beau's lines) tell the story of stress from a few MONTHS ago, gross! I'll need to de-stress NOW for nice nails πŸ’… later πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

With 17% of your recommended daily intake, (WOW, that's almost 1/5th) it's easy to lose track πŸ‘£ of how much sodium we take in.

While this amount is okay for an afternoon snack, keep in mind what your breakfast was and if you'll be salting your dinner. Keep to 60% of your daily intake for dinner and 20% for breakfast.

The alchemy of Divine Intervention, "fate," and Free Will get tricky.
Where you hold and release your belief systems make or break your journey.

01/29/2022

Yesterday I stopped my Reiki session less than 3 minutes in because I felt the overwhelming intuitive push to talk to my client about the topic of su***de.

What. A. Risk.

Would YOU have taken that leap without apparent and upfront knowledge?

What should have been a 45 min appointment ended up being close to 2 hours of Reiki and talk "sesh." They left with a help plan, phone numbers, and the confidence they needed to obtain assistance IF and when they ever needed to get it.

Furthermore, their takeaway was NO longer "whew - I was afraid to say something because I didn't want to be carted off for just telling someone I had these thoughts without ever having the intent to act."

Now more than ever, we need to make Complimentary Alternative Medicine practices a part of the Mental Health & Hygiene world where patients and clients can attend to their anxious minds.

Pushing for SafeTalk training and other crisis intervention training would be an intelligent choice in helping to round out our practices and scopes as professionals. We NEED fundamental tools that will not only legally protect us but that are evidence-based, ethical, and compassionate.

I run a small business called Sacred Space Sanctuary in Ramsey, NJ. It's a Reiki and Nutrition Business that also operates on Intuitive Guidance. My background in EMS and debriefing are excellent, but with all of this combined, I'm still left to handle a significant amount of su***de cases.

90% of the individuals who come to me are female and have suffered significant loss or trauma in their life. 100% of those who come to me feel disconnected from life. 30% of them have felt or are FEELING suicidal.

I only take adults; it's interesting to see the who/what/when/where/and why of things. I do my screenings and provide services and phone numbers accordingly.

I am GREAT in debriefing, active listening, and helping a person create an action plan. I SPECIFICALLY connect persons with resources in their area for when they need them.

I also work on de-stigmatizing what "mental health" looks like and am reframing it to what I call "mental hygiene." Helping clients to understand:

1) the difference between hard lines versus soft lines
2) when to call for help
3) why it is ALWAYS okay to call for help
4) that they never were and never are a burden
5) that they don't need to be IN crisis or wait for one to get assistance
6) when to call 9-1-1
7) what to expect when talking to a dispatcher
8 ) the care and compassion of EMTS (I was one)
9) local care facilities in the region
10) inpatient versus outpatient care
11) ideations versus intention
12) the importance of receiving MEDICAL, LICENSED therapy regularly
13) the idea that sometimes, it's biochemical and there is no shame
14) who to call when they need assistance

Hmmm, FaceBook has "deleted" the 5-star reviews again! While my "recommendations" remain, clients please HONESTLY rate.

12/18/2021

Whoa, so this is scary but hey - I'm GOING for it.

Why? Because I told you I'm passionate about my work. And, it's come to my attention after taking an honest look at competitor's rates that Reiki, Life Coaching, and Energy Healing are for the RICH.
No. This is not how it's supposed to be.

If people could afford services weekly or bi-monthly, wouldn't we have a more balanced society? How would our household structures change? Mental health?

Yes, some individuals can afford to come and pay the fair market value of $75-150/hour on occasion. Other practitioners charge upward of $250 per hour and $500 for readings locally.

Yikes. How does this not eliminate masses of people who are seeking care?

Luckily, there are models for health centers that utilize the Pay What You Can model that thrive. What goes around does come around.

The organic outreach is worth it. The positive energy and returning clients who one day can afford services are also worth it. In the end, these models demonstrate that it all balances out.
While I didn't envision starting my practice out this way, we've all been struck by the pandemic, and this is one way I can help even the playing field for those seeking assistance. Let's see how it goes - angel wings crossed!
