The best 5 supplements for traveling

The best thing about winter (other than pomegranates, that is), is escaping to a tropical place! I’m writing this post from Belize where I’ve been traveling since mid-January. To be honest, I was a little apprehensive about traveling overseas again after the health fiasco I experienced from Southeast Asia last year. Travel is never easy on the body. Or on the mind for that matter. The last thing I wanted was to get sick or trigger another Epstein-Barr attack from exhausting myself and not eating well on the road. But I really wanted to escape winter in the states. I finally …

How to stay organized and get stuff done!

Reader request! In my last newsletter I mentioned some of the processes I’m using to set up my 2018 and help reach some of my goals. I also opened up the floor for any blog post requests. A reader emailed saying they struggle a lot with staying organized and wondered if I could provide any additional tips. YES – I have a bunch! Although let it be known, it’s not really in my nature to be super organised. This is something I’ve had to learn over time – and I learned it because I was getting increasingly frustrated with the problems …

My health story

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an artist. Any kind of artist – it was always changing. At various points throughout my childhood and teens I dreamt of being a painter, a novelist, a dancer, a playwriter, an actor, an illustrator, a filmmaker. I was constantly creating things and getting involved in new modes of self-expression. I had aspirations of working in the creative arts and even went to an art school for college. I never thought I’d ever ever ever become a health coach. I didn’t even like to eat healthy! But my life has been permeated …

Vegan potato crust pizza (fat free, grain free + mostly raw)

Sometimes I get asked if there’s any “normal” foods I miss eating, from before my big diet change. Pizza would have to be at the top of that list. Truthfully I have not been able to find any raw vegan pizza recipes that taste even remotely close to the real thing. Don’t get me wrong, there are amazing raw vegan pizzas out there. I have tried many and have gone nuts over pretty much all of them! And I think it’s incredible that raw vegan pizza even exists in the world, filling that comfort food void for many a raw vegan. …

Let go of the old to bring in the new

How to deal with major life change “To bring in your desired newness, you must first allow old parts of your life to fall away. These changes are to be celebrated, not feared. Give thanks for this shedding of the old. Embrace all of the lessons it brought and then let it go. Be giddy with excitement at the newness of the gifts that are now being bestowed upon you, and let their magic surprise and delight you.” This is from the oracle card I drew on New Year’s Eve. As always, its message was spot on. I have been asking …

What I’ve been up to this year

Hello friends! So much has happened this year that I haven’t been able to share on the blog – mainly because it’s been under construction since my last post in July! My baby blog was in desperate need of a makeover – I’m happy to announce it has finally joined the modern world and can be viewed on a mobile phone now! I know I know… it’s about time. In addition, I decided to do a major overhaul on the site in general, changing my theme, updating colours, resizing things, swapping out photos, shifting and redesigning layouts, etc. It’s been a …
