Last night I did a quick nature focused mini-training in my facebook group and wanted to basically share the transcript here with you in case you might find it helpful as well. Basically, it comes down to a simple but powerful form of self care that is so easy, anyone can do it. And that …
REBT Certified!
Hey everyone, I know it’s been a bit since I’ve posted. I had to do some prioritizing this summer because I took on another class and it was very time consuming, but I didn’t want to sacrifice the quality time with my family, self care, or being able to give my current clients my full …
Trauma Secrets: Healing Without The Audience
You don’t have to share your trauma. You can if you want to, but you don’t have to. Whether you choose to keep it to yourself or share it with the world does not make it any more or less valid. I do recommend having one person that you can talk to. Whether it’s a …
Trauma is not your fault, but healing is your responsibility.
A few years ago, I went through a trauma that really messed me up. Afterwards, it was like I lost all control of myself. I felt like I couldn’t breathe no matter what I did, and I couldn’t think about anything else. My entire body would shake, panic attacks were constant and I couldn’t close …
Grounding for your health
Have you ever heard of grounding? With the weather finally warming up, the kids and I have been doing a lot of it. So much so that my daughter thought it was BEYOND strange when my mom came to visit and told her to put shoes on to play out back. That combined with how …

Every thought is an affirmation. If you’re constantly repeating things to yourself that paint you or your life in a negative light, you’re going to see everything negatively. You’re going to bury those thoughts further and further into your brain, until they’re true. Because you believe them and therefore act accordingly. However the opposite is …
Building your self-confidence
I went live in my facebook group this morning to talk about self-confidence after it was mentioned to me by a few different members of the group as well as from a past client. Low self-confidence is an issue that affects many of us, but it doesn’t have to. That’s why I wanted to share …
Hands-On Healing
How often do you work with your hands? (And by work, I don’t necessarily mean a job- but just hands-on activities in general.) So many of us sit at a computer all day and sure, typing uses your hands to a degree. But I’m talking about hands-on activities, meaning phsyically moving them around and using …
Self-love and affirmations
In honor of Valentine’s day being a day of love, I wanted to focus on some self-love today. Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a cycle of just working and doing? Or maybe just stuck in general? Maybe because of it, you aren’t feeling content, or happy, or fulfilled even though you’ve …
Give yourself grace.
Some advice that I have often needed: give yourself grace. You see, I’ve always been an over-achiever, multitasker, etc… And you know where that leads? Burnout! I’ve written about this before. You’d think that knowing that overextending myself would lead to burnout would make me reel it in, but that isn’t always the case. My …
