Why You Should Do a Detox

The body is a sacred temple, the house of your spirit, and life energy. If our physical body is not up to speed, we’re more likely to be tired, holding onto extra weight, and not be living to our full potential. Daily life can feel like a chore because we just don’t feel good and because our body systems are full of junk or blocked.

Why I am a “Flexitarian”

One of the most common questions I get once people find out that I am a Holistic Health and Nutrition Counselor is, “what do you think is the best diet?”  That’s a great question!
