Remember how Dorothy didn’t know that she had the power all along to get back home to Kansas? Turns out all she had to do was CLICK HER HEELS. What is the magic ingredient in changing your health for the better? YOU. You’ve had it all along! A lot of times clients get really excited at the beginning of sessions and think the coach is going to magically transform their life and their problems will just melt away. It doesn’t exactly work like this, although you can and will experience RADICAL transformation if you jump in the river and GO WITH THE FLOW of the coaching process. Your coach or therapist DOES play a crucial role in your healing journey. This is true, and you should be excited. A compassionate, non-judgmental relationship with a coach or therapist goes a LONG WAY toward change and healing.
HOWEVER, the most radical, beautiful, change happens because of YOU! This is a good thing, trust me. When you realize YOU have the power to change your life, this is where the real MAGIC HAPPENS. How does change happen then? And why does it feel like work? When you change for other people – to please them – or when you change out of FEAR – so you won’t feel humiliated on the beach – you are changing for EXTERNAL reasons, and that, my friend, is HARD WORK. In fact, it feels like you are carrying the weight of the world on you. Who wants to do that FOREVER?
When you change because you LOVE yourself, and VALUE yourself, change FEELS GREAT and EFFORTLESS often. Here’s a tip, figure out what your very HIGHEST IDEAL is, and change FOR THAT REASON. When you change a health habit because you desire so strongly to stay true to and be there for your VISION – what you VALUE, YOUR HIGHEST IDEALS – change is not only effortless, it’s enjoyable, because you are FOCUSING ON YOUR VISION, AND SEEING IT COME TO FRUITION. Real change also happens when we build a sense of self-confidence, that yes, I CAN DO THIS. Self-confidence comes by achieving, small, attainable goals. One…goal…at…a…time. This is another way a coach can really help you along your JOURNEY. Yes, there are so many benefits to wellness coaching. But the most important benefit of all is that you get to meet your amazing, powerful SELF in the process. And your POWERFUL SELF, my friend, can do and be anything she wants. Just look within, believe in yourself, and click your heels…

Changing is not as hard as you might think. It is more of a process than an event. With the right tools, you can change your health habits for good! Read on to find out how...
|
“Change, but start slowly, because direction is more important than speed.”
~ Paulo Coelho
Changing health behaviors for good takes time, it is process. Change happens in taking small steps toward your goal, and in months: 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. A lot of us don’t realize that. We get so down on ourselves when we don’t change a habit instantly, where, in reality, it is not realistic to change overnight. Change is a process. It is more of a spiral than a straight line and actually there are six steps of change that most people go through and each step is as important as the other step.

“Change now, while you still can. Change now because you can, change now because it is the right thing to do. Change now because there is no right, no left, no time left, no space left. Only you. Change”

The following information is for educational purposes only and is not meant to diagnose, treat, or prescribe any kind of disease or illness. It is a good idea to seek the professional advice of qualified health care practitioner before making any major changes in your self health care routine. Above all else, be well…

wellness coaching for life
Did you know…
*Intention is the most important energy to harness in order to accomplish any goal and/or heal. And you have to believe it on every level of your being, in every single cell.
*Exercise is so important for health that it would be the number one “drug” prescribed by doctors.
*Stress is one of the main causes of many illnesses and is extremely damaging to the body. When you feel that “fight or flight” response coming on breathe deeply from your stomach until you feel more relaxed. Also do whatever you can to distract yourself. Focus on something that creates feelings of relaxation and positivity. Nothing is worth losing your health over.
*Many successful people do not drink alcohol, caffeine, or use stimulants of any kind.
Donald Trump does not drink alcohol or coffee. Tom Cruise does not drink alcohol. Dane Cook does not use stimulants of any kind, including alcohol, because he feels they interfere with his process.
*Feng Shui is much more than just aesthetics. Clearing the clutter from your home, office, and work environments can and will change the rate at which you succeed. Start small with just your desk and see how you feel afterwards. You just might be amazed at what happens next.
*Cut out all refined sugar from your diet and watch your energy and focus skyrocket!
*Organic Spirulina is chock full of B vitamins and Iron you need to have amazing, boundless energy.
*Just starting your dream project can give you extra energy you never knew you had.
*Acupuncture can help “reset” your body if you are feeling under the weather or coping with acute or chronic illness. The sooner you start, the quicker you will feel better. Acupuncture can also help in kicking bad habits such as smoking, or helping you to cope with pain, stress, or anxiety.
*Feeling under the weather or blue? Try incorporating brown rice and steamed veggies into your diet. Try smiling for no reason. Smiling actually releases feel good chemicals in your body like dopamine, so even if you don’t feel like it, smile! It can change your whole perspective.
*Have Insomnia? Take a daily walk in a park on a sunny day to get some fresh air and sunshine. Vitamin D is best obtained by sunshine and actually acts like a hormone in your body. Walking outdoors in the morning will help you sleep very soundly at night. Also limit stimulants to early morning or eliminate them altogether. Adaptogens such as ginseng can give you the energy you need without interrupting your sleep.
Journaling gives your body a voice. Our body is our “sub-conscious mind” (Candace Pert). Events that happen to us are stored often in our body and in our cell’s memories. Journaling, talk therapy, and body work can access our subconsious mind and help us to release certain experiences we hold onto or that hold onto us.
Inspirational Quotes
“I do not believe that you should devote overly much effort to correcting your weaknesses. Rather, I believe that the highest success in living and the deepest emotional satisfaction comes from building and using your signature strengths.” ~ Martin Seligman, Ph.D. – Author, Authentic Happiness
Just For Today

Just for today, wear your seat belt.
Just for today, exercise your sense of humor.

Health insurance rates have skyrocketed. Businesses have developed wellness programs to keep rising insurance rates down. They have also been requiring medical tests for employees to work as incentives to stay well, or as penalty points if you don't pass their tests.
For some people who have chronic conditions, requiring medical tests (and passing them) may not be so ideal. This is yet another reason to try wellness coaching to learn new skills to break old health habits that no longer serve you, and maybe lower your insurance rates as well. Join us here for affordable group wellness coaching teleclasses and support, or contact me for individual wellness coaching session.
You can change for good, and wellness coaching can help!

Almost half of us don't detoxify properly which can lead to chronic conditions such as CFS, autoimmune conditions, autism, asthma, diabetes, Parkinson's, liver conditions, Alzheimer's, cancer, kidney pain, etc.*
Glutathione is the master detoxifier. It is a major component of your immune system, key in controlling inflammation, and one of the major preventers of aging. If you are not as vital as you'd like to be, you may be low in glutathione.
Many of us do not produce enough of it, especially people with chronic conditions who may be impaired in genes involved in glutathione metabolism. How do you know if you are low in it? Get a genetic test.
Without glutathione, or without enough of it, your body cannot rid itself of environmental toxins, processed foods, etc. There are now close to 100,000 synthetic chemicals in our world, with only a fraction of them having been tested (about 7%). For vulnerable populations, the inability to detoxify properly leads to a breakdown and state in the body called oxidative stress. This state is where chronic illness begins.
How can you protect yourself? Eat more raw foods and more superfoods like wheat grass and spirulina. They naturally contain high levels of glutathione. Eat more peanut butter and sweet potatoes. Take a milk thistle formula. Exercise naturally increases glutathione levels and detoxifies your liver.
The time is now to start down a new path toward health...

Being sick is never easy, especially if you have been dealing with chronic illness for a long time. Here is an exerpt from my upcoming book, The Memory of Health.*
“Bliss is the key to vibrant health! Do as Joseph Campbell said and follow your bliss. Do only what makes you feel good. Eat only what makes you feel good, but not temporarily ”good” like sugar. Sugar is an excitotoxin that raises neurotransmitters like dopamine artificially high but then leaves your body to crash low. It leaches crucial minerals along the way and steals your vitality (also known as “chi”).
If you’re sick, yes, you still need to take your supplements/medicine, eat extra well, get acupuncture, etc. But if you are living in a blissful state, the down time between being sick and being well could literally be days or months as opposed to years.
Bliss leads you to make and keep decisions that change the very nature of your life and reality, including your health which is the roadmap of your life.
The body has its own innate healing response. In short, in most cases your body will heal itself if you allow it. This is the difference between naturopathic and modern medical belief systems. Naturopathy believes the body can heal itself, and offers protocols that support the innate healing process. Above all else, believing that you can heal is your greatest role as a patient.
Even more important, is that you believe in yourself, even if you’re the only person in your world that believes you’re sick. Don’t ever doubt for a second that what you’re experiencing is real.
But don’t ever doubt for a second in your ability to overcome what has made you so sick. Be your biggest cheerleader. You have to be: your life and happiness depend on it. Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up. Fight for your life. You’re worth it.
Also, only surround yourself with people who make you feel good. People who have negative energy (also known as “energy demons”) will literally suck the lifeforce out of you. Even then, you have control over how you respond. Stay in bliss, and keep your intention on getting well. This is the key.
Remember, health is everything. This is your vehicle. Your body is you, but you are more than your body. Much, much more. The world is made up of energy. Unblock and mobilize your energy.
You are your own best investment. Your body may be at the mercy of illness at this point in time, but your spirit is not. Use this wisdom to plow through wherever your body is stuck in illness, in dis-ease, and break free.
You have the power to change your life. And remember that you have a beautiful soul, and, regardless of what your body is going through at this moment in time, that will never, ever change.”*
be well,
