I got my a$$ back into a yoga class today. I haven’t been there in awhile. I’ve had a lot of great, very reasonable excuses…I mean reasons: moving my business to a new and bigger location, coaching my amazing clients, hitting the weights at the gym with my hubby, walking with a friend, networking, time with my family, travel, acupuncture, …
Lentil Mushroom Stir Fry
A diet packed with nutrient dense foods is vital for overall health. So often, we skimp on our diets and end up fueling up with foods that are fast, cheap and easy, which leaves us feeling like crap. But we deserve to enjoy all day energy, super sound sleep, and bright glowing skin! So few people connect the dots between …

What is it that You Want?
I don’t know about you, but I often feel like there is so much swirling around in my head that it’s really tricky to get clear on exactly what it is that I want. I also find this to be true when working with many of my clients. One of the biggest challenges that I face in my work with …
