3 Aspects Of Holistic Wellness ⛅

Everything is connected.

Your mind fuels your body, your body is a home for your soul, and your soul is your energetic body, auric field, and higher self.

We are interconnected human beings and there is never just one answer or one place to look.

As a Holistic Nutritionist, I focus on all 3 aspects, mind, body and spirit.

For every ailment, disorder, disease, or health challenge there is an associated emotion(s), experience, trauma, belief system, and interconnection.

Bringing the body back into alignment means focusing on what you nourish your temple with, your energetic body, and your conscious and subconscious mind.

As I use food for healing and a form of medicine in my practice I see daily how high vibrational foods impact all 3 aspects and how low vibrational foods cause dis-ease.

What aspect do you focus more of your attention on?

What stands out to you most?⠀

⠀
If you’ve been struggling with something don’t quit, keep on going.⠀

MID-DAY SLUMP?

My usual go to during a mid-day slump is Chaga + Lion’s Mane Coffee Mix! 🍄

I am highly sensitive to caffeine later in the day so I will stick to things that are low in caffeine but effective for giving me that wake up feel good effect.

Chaga and Lions Mane are extremely powerful antioxidants that also have healing my properties to them.

These two mushrooms mixed together aids in fueling your brain health, increases focus, thinking clearer, and gets the creative juices flowing.

During a busy work week this is exactly what I need to not only pick up my mid-day slump but to get my brain going! 🧠 🤍

BECOME A CHRONIC LABEL READER \\ 🤍⠀
⠀
3 years ago as I was transitioning into my Holistic lifestyle I forced myself to get into the habit of label reading. Not only when it came to juices but absolutely anything I bought.⠀
⠀
As I started reading more labels on the foods I was investing in I quickly realized a couple of things:⠀
⠀
- A lot of packaged foods had ingredients I couldn't pronounce⠀
- There was a lot of hidden and harmful ingredients⠀
- I was quick to realize a lot of big food companies don't have to mention all ingredients that are put into their packaging⠀
- Not everything that says organic on the package is truly organic⠀
- Not everything that says gluten free or vegan means its healthy⠀
- There was never real foods in a lot of packaged goods⠀
⠀
As I went on my own journey and started my practice I became an advocate for label reading and understanding what out packaging truly means. I committed to only buying something if I could read the ingredient list and the foods were real.⠀
⠀
I now practice this with my clients and while I am working with them 1:1 and help them understand why label reading is so important.⠀
⠀
A quick shout out to my fave clean pressed juice company ! Keep your eyes out for a giveaway in the near future! 🦋🤍

⠀

⠀

Stop talking yourself out of opportunities because you don't feel like you're "ready" yet.⠀
⠀
It's time.⠀
⠀
You're ready now!⠀
⠀
Maybe all you need is a little push. Let this be your sign to start what ever has been sitting on your heart today. 🤍⠀

THE HEALING ENERGIES OF CITRUS \\⠀
⠀
We always hear the term "Food is Medicine", but for some people they don't know why that term is so commonly thrown around. Not only can food be healing and therapeutic for our bodies but it can also be healing for our energetic pathways within us and around us.⠀
⠀
Here is an example that will hopefully give you an idea about how powerful foods can really be. ⠀
⠀
🧡 Citrus is considered a high vibrational food. It vibrates at a very high frequency and lifts the human energetic body along with it. If you have been attracted to an abundance of orange or citrus it is likely your energetic body is trying to vibrate higher on its frequency scale.⠀
⠀
🧡 Citrus also contains phyto-chemicals which protect and keep the entire fruit body healthy. For humans, as you hold ⠀
citrus, peel them, inhale their fragrance, you absorb their vibrational essence. Therefore, you match their high vibration and vibrate higher, yourself. This is why citrus helps to open and clear the Crown Chakra (the 7th energy centre) - it is that high of a frequency is resonates with the Crown Chakra; connection. ⠀
⠀
🧡 This is only a slight introduction into why food is medicine and impacts us physically, emotionally, energetically, and mentally. Everything we eat vibrates on a frequency scale, the higher the better!⠀

SELF CARE SUNDAY! 🧚⠀
⠀
Sundays are for self care, disconnecting, and recharging for the upcoming week. I don't just prioritize these things on Sunday though, I do these things everyday of the week. ✨⠀
⠀
Self care is part of my daily routine in the morning and evening. For me it's a non-negotiable and I always make sure I honour my self care as it is a big part of setting day up for success and finishing my day stress free and peaceful.⠀
⠀
This is your Sunday reminder to do some self care everyday this week and acknowledge how your days start to shift and change for the better. 🕊⠀
⠀
You are worthy of taking care of yourself before you take care of everything else in your life this week! If there is no you, there is nothing. 🌞⠀

What we think, we believe and what we believe, we become. 🤍🕊

Acknowledge your daily thoughts, emotions, and patterns.

How do you feel when you think about your daily habits?

What emotions arise?

What patterns are you noticing that you do on a daily basis?

Are you usually in a positive headspace or negative headspace?

Do an evaluation on where you are right now in time and visualize where you want to be time from now. How does that journey look for you?

Tune in and listen to that inner voice, it has all the answers for you. Then start honouring how you feel and show up as the next version of you! ✨

Changing your thought patterns and belief systems will guide you into a whole new self discovering path of life. 🌻

Over the last couple of months I have been playing around with the way different foods and colours impact energy centers in the body. I found it overly fascinating watching myself and my clients drawn to certain food groups and colours and how these were interconnected with their emotions and health issues. As I continued to dig deep with my healing journey as well as my clients I realized food is not only impacting our internal bodies but it is also impacting our energetic bodies much more than we know.

The colour orange is one I have been drawn to for a couple months now. As I paid attention to my energetic body and where I needed healing as well as the emotions that would arise led me to start using specific foods to heal that energy center in my body. 🧡

Orange is associated with the Sacral Chakra right above the p***c bone and below the navel. This Chakra spiritual aspect is all about self respect, boundaries, and honour. It is also associated with creativity, emotional fluid, pleasure, joy, and abundance.

Healing is a combination of the Mind, Body, and Soul. As I continue as a Holistic Nutritionist and Reiki Practitioner I am continuously blown away everyday because it is more evident than ever that one can't heal without the other. 🌻

I’m back! ⚡️
It’s been a while since I have been present on my on my feed but I return with intention, purpose, and inspiration! 🌻

I took the last couple of months to call back my energy and recenter my focus. I felt that I needed a social media break in terms of continuously producing content. I found I was so focused on Instagram and lacking in a lot of areas of my business and life. While I’ve been on my Instagram content producing break I used that energy towards rebranding my website, building programs, rebranding services, and showing up to my clients online 🤍🌞

It feels great to be back and I’m ready to lead with intention, purpose, and inspiration for you guys to use my platform as a safe space, a learning tool, and educational resource. I am so excited to share with you guys all the things I’ve been working on behind the scenes and live out my passion 😍

Holistic Health & Wellness has my heart but so does energy work. I love motivational speaking, coaching, business mentorship, and everything in between. Being able to take this time away has lead me to fully understand how I can integrate everything I’m passionate about into one. ✨

Being authentic will radiate more
p u r e e n e r g y
than trying to be an ideal you 💫
Let go of who you think you were supposed to be and start embracing who YOU are.

1. Express your feelings in a positive way without fear

2. Say what you mean, and mean what you say

3. Love your whole self, exactly how you are + who you are

4. Seek real connection rather than hiding behind a mask and pretending you are someone else

5. Continue to improve + work on yourself everyday. Show up as the best version of you!

Beautiful Soul, here is a quick reminder...

You are stronger than you think.
You are braver than you believe.
Every challenge that life has thrown at you, you've conquered.
Every obstacle that has been placed in your path, you've overcome.
You are a fighter.
You have always been a fighter.
You are unstoppable & unbreakable.
& right now, you are filled with more faith than you have ever been.

So Beautiful Soul, believe in yourself.
Never doubt who you are.
Chase those dreams.
& don't ever, ever stop.

All you have survived up until now is because the fire inside you burned brighter than the fire around you 🔮🧘🏼‍♀️💫

CORONAVIRUS 🦠 With widespread fear of the Coronavirus I thought I would share my top Immune Boosting + Stress Reducing tips with you guys to help stay healthy!

#1. ADEQUATE SLEEP - Getting 7+ hours of quality sleep is extremely important to keep your immune system up. This is the time when your body recovers and fights anything foreign in your body.

#2. NOURISHING DIET - Eating a whole foods diet will allow your body to get the nutrients it needs to help fight against any foreign invaders, maintain your health, as well as maintaining a healthy immune system. The more sugar and processed/refined foods you put in your body the weaker your immune system will be. Whole foods nourish the immune while junk foods suppress the immune.

#3. SUPPLEMENTS - Giving your body body extra support right now is crucial. This is where supplementation comes into place to make sure we get ample amounts of nutrients we may be missing out on. MY GOT O SUPPS RIGHT NOW --> Vitamin D3, Vitamin C (I use @ Immunity and its packed with other amazing superfoods to keep the immune system up), Probiotic, Zinc, Magnesium, and Essential Fatty Acids.

#4. ADAPTOGENS - Adaptogens are important for managing stress levels. The higher your stress levels are the more suppressed your immune system will become. The more suppressed your immune system the more susceptible you are to getting sick! My go to adaptogen right now Reishi Mushroom (helps enhance the immune system, reduce stress, improve sleep, and lessen fatigue). Ashwagandha, Astragalus Root, and Ginseng are also very powerful for helping to lower and manage stress levels!

#5. MOVEMENT - Movement is extremely important as well! Even though you may be staying away from the gym during this time you can still move your body at home or go outside for a run or walk! The nice weather is here and fresh air and movement is important for keeping a healthy body.
