Here we go, my friends!!

It's officially "Sugar Poisoning Season"!

Never heard of that?

Just consider this...

We have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas (and all those holiday parties...), quickly followed by New Years, Valentine's Day, Easter...we could even add Mothers Day and Fathers Day...

And yet, we simply call it "f l u" season...

Cancer cells have more sugar receptors than healthy cells...

Not only does sugar feed cancer cells, it also shuts down your immune system for 7 hours after you consume it.

Check your ingredient labels to see how much sugar, or anything ending in -ose, is in what you are ingesting...does your immune system even stand a chance??

Higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s, depression, heart attack, stroke, headaches, irritability, fatigue, anxiety, bloating, hunger. Your brain shrinks. Your skin loses elasticity, making it look stiff...

Refined sugar is 99.4 to 99.7 percent pure calories, with no vitamins, minerals, fats, or proteins – just carbohydrates that spike blood sugar and affect your brain pathways like addictive drugs do…
Just sayin’…

is there really a "f l u" season??

I will let you sit with that for a little bit...

Then, when you are ready to detox your body and reduce that inflammation, let me know. I am here to help you take responsibility for your own health and healing through holistic and spiritual modalities leading to improved quality of life, inner peace and overall wellness.

Let me introduce myself!

Hey, hey, my friend!

I'm the sometimes overwhelmed wife of Dana, homeschooling momma of 11 and Mayme to 15, "expertly" spinning all the plates...until another plate, or two (or ten) get tossed into the chaos...or a plate that was plastic this morning suddenly turns into fine China...can you relate?

A recovering perfectionist giving myself grace to do B- work, make mistakes and maybe even look a bit foolish on rare occasions...

An introverted extrovert who firmly believes dark chocolate makes the world go 'round...(the darker the better because fewer kiddos want to share it with me...).

Everyone has a story leading to where they are today. Mine started when I was a teen, struggling with migraines. I just dealt with them, not even questioning why. I just knew that a chocolate éclair from Dunkin Donuts wasn’t the right answer, nor was that Pepsi I loved so much…

For years I pushed myself through the days, gritting my teeth to bear the pain a little better, taking care of my littles, then crashing into a dark, quiet room to sleep the pain away.

I tried a few different things, but I didn’t start seeing improvement until I took a good look at what I was eating. I started slowly taking those toxins and additives out of my diet…MSG, artificial flavors, natural flavors, white sugar, enriched flour, fake sweeteners, artificial colors and those other "ingredients" I couldn’t pronounce.

Then I started looking at ingredients in our personal care and household products...that was an eye-opening adventure. If you think everything allowed to be sold in the stores is safe, we need to chat...

As I learned better, I did better and I completely swapped out all the toxic products in our home, keeping my family above the wellness line, helped balance our hormones, along with our emotions, even through birth trauma, loss, anxiety, a world-wide pandemic and more.

Continuing my journey, I am now a Licensed Holistic Practitioner, Licensed Spiritual Healer, Certified Raindrop Technique Specialist, and will be a Certified CARE Instructor this summer.

Knowing that friends are family we get to choose for ourselves, I am creating a thriving community of powerful, incredible, plate-spinning women. There is a seat for you at our table, where hearts are touched, souls are healed, walls are torn down, and best lives are lived on our way to wellness, purpose and abundance...guilt free. Come. Join us. Pull up a chair. Get comfy. Let's journey together.

What's the best that could happen?
