Homegrown Pilates and Wellness

Full permission granted to follow through on your needs and desires.

Remember, risk people being unhappy with the REAL version you, rather than happy with the FAKE, BURIED version of you. 🧡

This takes practice. It will feel uncomfortable, especially at the beginning. You’ll need lots of reminders. That’s okay!
I still do.
The more you follow through with what feels deeply true, the more calm and centered you will feel.

This is how you learn to trust yourself.

For help with this, use the link in my bio to book a free consult.

To change your life, you will need to change your mind.

It’s the best kind of change, from more patience, compassion, and confidence in what you are fully capable of.

When we partner with our minds, the body will follow.

You reach your health goals sooner. With ease. For life.

Have you been trying to
buy your way to change?

We’ve all tried to buy a new version of ourselves.

Gym memberships
Equipment and all kinds of gear
Clothes to fit the part
Subscriptions
Self-help Books
Meal plans.

Spending feels like a move in the right direction.

(and it might be, for a little while)

It checks a box.☑️

But spending won’t buy you the change you're looking for.

Managing your mind will.❤️

Don’t spend another dime
on more stuff.

Focus on what really works instead.

Start by making peace with your brain.

I can help you with that.

Honor your body’s limits.

It’s the difference between doing what you think you “should” be doing,

and what you are meant to do.

So many of us were taught to think there is a right and a wrong way to live a healthy life.

But the truth is, you are the only true judge of what is right, for YOU.

You can stop paying attention to what the diet and fitness industries are promoting this season.

Many of these strategies are not scientifically proven, and none of these strategies will work for everyone.



Thinking you’re doing it wrong creates disconnection from your sensory body. You become largely unaware of what is happening within you and what messages your body is sending.

This connection is everything. It is how you discover what works for your body.

When you are in touch with your body, you know immediately when something feels “off”.

You can address the smaller issues using a personal, self-created lifestyle prescription.

This is what I help my clients do.

Coming into your body gives you the tools for creating a healthier lifestyle all on your own.

If you have been beating yourself up and wondering why your body isn’t responding the way it should, take a deep breath and release the judgment.

A healthier, connected body and brain takes you out of the cycle of stress. If you have tried everything and yet nothing is working, it is time to reignite your body-brain connection in a way that feels right for you. Together we ditch the old rules and create a simple, uncomplicated strategy that works. And feels good too.

Sign up for a consult to explore what an aligned life could feel like for you. We’ll discover all of the rules to unfollow and talk about a new path for reaching your wellness goals.

You don’t need big blocks of time to make a dent in your projects.

You might fall into the trap of thinking that anything less wouldn’t be worthwhile.

Yet when I’m convinced of this, there is so much that I don’t start, all because I am waiting for more time,
hours at a time,
to appear.

Working efficiently within the time you have is a skill.

You become more focused and directed.

So, if you’ve been waiting for more time to get started on something new, just start now, with the time you do have.

Small pockets of time still count.

Just like I used to say about exercise when my kids were little, “Something is better than nothing.”

That really does still hold true.

It’s pretty amazing what’s possible, 10 minutes at a time.

I’ve been playing around this concept lately, doing 10 minutes of meditation. 10 minutes of Pilates. 10 minutes of sitting outside. 10 minutes of journal time. 10 minutes of meal prepping.

You can do quite a lot, with little pressure, just a few minutes at a time.

Don’t get me wrong, I still like to make room for longer walks, bike rides, and time spent with a good book.

But I’m appreciating more and more what I can do in the short spurts, too.

Want to start hitting your goals?

Start with the time you DO have. (I know I’ll find more just by limiting myself on here to 10 minutes at a time😂)

Ready to be the boss of your time so you can be the boss of your life?

Schedule a consult. I’ll show you where you’re spending your time and energy and how to take it back.

You’ll feel better and have more energy when you learn how to live on purpose, with purpose.

Snow day.

Fun times over here 😂

Connecting with your inner knowing shapes the decisions we make.

But some of you responded to last week's blog post, wondering whether your inner knowing is truly trustworthy.

This week I share how we can distinguish between true wisdom guidance … or something else in disguise.

Have you tried this chia jam recipe?

I adapted it for frozen berries and use it as a side / topping for yogurt, pancakes, even next to your favorite morning scramble. 💜

School day 🐱

Do you find yourself thinking “It’s going to be hard” when it comes to creating a healthier life?

If so, you’re not alone.

It means you have a human brain.

It’s your mind’s default way of trying to keep you safe and efficient.

Yet we want change.

When we think it will be hard, it will feel SO much harder.

And that’s not helpful.

“Change is hard” results in a mental free-for-all.

Your mind will tell you that you don’t know how. Or where to start. Or what is right.

We turn to books, apps, and videos for answers.

But more information just creates more confusion.

While information can be helpful, the real solution lies no further than your thinking.

Your thoughts always create your results.

A different life will require new ways of thinking.

You can begin to change your thinking by slowing down to hear what your intuition has to say.

Your intuition is your truth, your wisdom, that knows what to do next.

This feels riskier, but only because we aren’t used to turning inward for answers.

Yet it is the way to lasting change.

In my coaching program, you’ll return to the basics of healthy living, where you get trust your process.

Together we train your brain to think differently. With this, your body begins to heal, all on its own.

Information becomes secondary to what feels right. There’s freedom in that.

The solution is closer than you think. Learn more by scheduling a free call.

From this phone call alone, you'll be on your way to new thoughts.

What is it that you want, but are afraid to go after?

You tell yourself that it has never worked before. Or it is unrealistic (for you).

What do you want for yourself?

- to feel better?

- a smaller waistline?

- more free time?

- a life where stress and anxiety aren’t running the show?

Do you believe that you can hit any goal you set?

You can hit any goal when your actions and thoughts are aligned.

Getting your brain on board is the key to making meaningful change.

Your primitive brain is just fine with your sameness, even if sameness isn’t serving you.

Once your brain is on board, getting what you want becomes inevitable.

In my 1:1 coaching program, I teach you to set and hit goals from an aligned mind.

You learn a back to basics approach to wellness that feels easy and authentic to you.

With a personalized approach, and a focused mind, you hit your goals in less time than you imagined. Your self-trust becomes unshakable, and hitting goals gets so much easier.

Saw this pretty boy on the trails.

He cuts grass, he cuts hair.

I’ve been having a hard time tracking down some of the baking basics, especially yeast, so I was super excited to come across this short list of Yeast Substitutes.

Ever tried any of these?

3 Best Substitutes for Yeast to Help You in a Pinch Yeast is a vital ingredient in many bread recipes, but you may wonder whether other ingredients can be used in place of it in a pinch. Here are the 3 best substitutes for yeast.

When times feel scary and out-of-control, it is common to try to calm our emotions using binge behaviors like overeating, overdrinking, oversleeping, overspending, and overconsuming the news or social media.

But taking control of our health is available to us at anytime.

And better health is just one step away.

You could decide to start feeling better in your body this week.

Imagine the scale starting to shift for you today.

My ebook, “The Critical First Step on the Road to Wellness” guides you through the SIMPLE practice of tracking added sugar in your diet. It offers you an easy-to-follow plan toward feeling better in your body right away.

Why start with added sugar?
—because most of us currently consume 3x more added sugar than our bodies are able to handle. Each and every day. And it’s making us sick.

So reducing added sugar in our diet means:
-fewer cravings
-reducing or eliminating migraines
-a lighter body
-a smaller waistline
-brain fog...gone!
-less bloat
-feeling in control of your eating -feeling beautiful in your body again.

You have nothing to lose and only a healthier body and a lot of self-empowerment to gain.

My program is simple: to help women shed pounds along with their self-doubt, shifting out of confusion to a place of confidence and clarity.

This changes everything about losing weight.

To receive my ebook, just email me at hello@ homegrownpilatesandwellness.com and you can be on your way to better wellness today! You’ve got this. 👊🏼
