I love walking on the Erie Canal. Walking with my Mom who just moved here, Priceless.☺️ Where do you like to walk?🚶‍♀️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CgnBAkou6hv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've been M.I.A. here lately partly due to to getting ready for my mom to move near me.🥰 She's staying with us for a month while her apartment gets ready. She'll then live 5 minutes away.🚗 My mom was my first best friend and we're still bff's at 51 & 72.👭 Are you close to your mom?💞 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cghxd1bOKJa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ask me anything. dōTERRA & I have nothing to hide.🙂 This is no joke, I said no for 1 year thinking the scents would bother me. Boy, was I ever wrong! I learned that I was sensitive to SYNTHETIC fragrances. These oils are pure nature. When you have the world's purest and most potent essential oils, the possibilities are endless. I love how versatile they are and I use them in numerous combinations. I use them on my body, some in my body, some to clean our home, some to freshen the air. It just never stops. I love this lifestyle!🙌 So tell me, what questions do you have for me? Let's chat!💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfwvj9WO2Ci/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Acupuncture for my tight hips, lower back, and Piriformis syndrome.(A disorder in which the piriformis muscle in the buttocks irritates the sciatic nerve.) Acupuncture is a system of integrative medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles, used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. My hope is that we can loosen everything up and allow me to gain core strength and have reduced inflammation in my body. Right now, these issues won't allow me to regularly exercise, especially when it all aggravates the "Fibro" symptoms. Acupuncture can be a great addition to your natural wellness plan. Tell me, have you been yet?🙂 #rootcause #gettothecore #yagottawantit #selfadvocate #acupuncturetreatment #acupuncture #lowerbackpain #tighthips #piriformissyndrome #piriformis #hopedealer #hopedealers #holisticwellness #holistichealthcoach #naturalsolution #naturalhealthandwellness #holisticapproach #nontoxicliving #naturallivingblogger #livelifenaturally #livingnaturally #healingjourney #wellnesscoaches #helpplease #helpmefeelbetter #idontfeelgood #fibromyalgiafighter #myhealingjourney #holisticlife #rawfireliving https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZjJ-QOSmU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Give your body a chance!!! If you're on any kind of healing journey, as I am, you need to give your body half a chance. •Reduce your toxic load by changing the products you use in your home and on your body to natural solutions. •Get proper sleep •Eat whole foods •Omit or at the very least reduce, alcohol, refined sugars and processed prepackaged foods. •Have a wellness practice to reduce stress •Drink plenty of water •Be around people who make you happy, not bring you down. I pray you get what I'm talking about. Let's have a conversation, leave a comment below.🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CfHn3FFO6kU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It takes as little as 22 seconds for a dōTERRA essential oil to have an effect on the brain when inhaled. This occurs when the oil molecules travel from the olfactory nerves directly to the brain. When there they may activate certain areas of your brain, like your limbic system, especially impacting the amygdala, the emotional center of the brain. They could also have an impact on your hypothalamus, which may respond to the oil by creating feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin. Inhaling dōTERRA essential oils to support my mood has been the biggest game changer for my healing journey. I had suffered all my life and nothing has supported me like doing this. I'm forever grateful to God for these gifts of the Earth, and for dōTERRA making it possible for the world to receive them so pure and potent.🙌 In the slides I shared two fabulous kits to help get you started, although there are many single oils and oil blends that you can do this with. My absolute favorite blend that first supported me was Peace, and I still love it! I love them all. Truly. Do you want to see if they can help support you too?

Reduce your toxic load and the stress it causes on your body.☣️ One simple thing you can do for your health is to switch to non-toxic products for your home and body.🌱 The stress on your delicate body systems caused by toxic load can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer and dysregulation of the immune and reproductive systems. Toxic load refers to the harmful chemicals that accumulate in the body through exposures to things such as air and water pollutants, numerous categories of food additives, chemicals in personal products and household cleaners, medications, plastics and other environment exposures, such as herbicides and pesticides.  While it is impossible to fully reduce your toxic load, it is possible to reduce it so your body can safely eliminate what you are exposed to. When I got chronically ill one of the first things I learned and implemented was switching all of my household products and the products I use on my body to non-toxic solutions. I fell in love with natural living and have lived this way for 5 years now. I'll never stop. Natural living has opened up so much for me, I'll never go back. It's so easy, I'll walk you through it. Ready?😃 Let's chat, dm me.💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeosAzsOUcj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Grace in the healing.🙏🏻 Healing from a chronic illness is hard. Let's just say that out loud.🗣 I'm proud of you for doing the work.👏 The process is not linear, we have to give ourselves grace in the process. Having a good day, great! Woohoo! That's awesome!😃🙌 Having a bad day where you literally only keep yourself alive. Look at you, you did that, give yourself a high five!✋️ It's ok to rest, recharge, and restore. Even if you have to do that for days, weeks, or months. Don't get down on yourself, your body and mind are in great need of that downtime.🤗 I've learned to listen to my body and give it exactly what it's asking for in that moment. Good food, exercise, rest, and so forth. I do get upset with my body, I want to be able to do all the things. But, I know my limitations and try to stay within them. I know the consequences of stepping outside of those limits will likely mean days or weeks of pain and exhaustion.😫 Are you in tune with your body? Are you looking for support through the process? Send me a dm and let's get to know each other.🙂💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ceji6jGuxBR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You've gone on vacation. Came home. Then crashed. You finished a big project at home, or work. Then crashed. You had personal trauma. Then crashed. You're a busy mom, wife, and business owner. You always feel like you need to crash. Any of these sound familiar? Especially if you're already on a healing journey from chronic stress such as myself. This is caused by stress hormones flooding your system during this extended period of stressful time. Then they don't leave like they are supposed to. Stress can affect me easily so I have to be vigilant with my self care. If you're not so easily affected, you should still practice self care, as stress can build up after time. When resting during this down time I like to spend time with God in his beautiful nature. Eat healthy food. Watch movies. Stay off of social media. Cuddle with my puppy and simply listen to my body and give it what it needs. My very favorite natural products to help support me daily are in dōTERRA's Adaptiv system. Check out the graphic for additional information. This was a game changer for me.🙌 Want a mentor who's been where you are, understands it, and can walk with you through it? Dm me, let's have a conversation.🙂💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRrPCsu4Jk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the BEST ways to destress is to spend time having fun with your people.🤩 My two amazing daughters and I went to NYC to see the @hamiltonmusical on Broadway this week. They bought me this gift for my birthday last year.🎭 The show was fantastic! The time spent off my phone making memories with my girls, Priceless! I couldn't have asked for a better time. I'm so grateful. So, get off of your phone, call a friend or family member or two and get out there and have some fun!😃 Save this post and come back after you've done something fun and tell me all about it, I would love to share in your joy!💜 https://www.instagram.com/p/CeElfCyuiSc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Protect your peace.😌 How we can digitally protect our peace and cause less stress to our bodies? •Stop watching the news! If you want to set up a healthy boundary for yourself and still get some news then pick 1-2 news sources and watch/read for a brief period of time. •Stop scrolling social media for hours on end, it's incredibly full of negative news and stories. Plus, it's a total time waster. What can we do instead? •Read a good book. •Watch a fun movie. •Sit or walk in nature. •Call a friend and hang out. •Do a craft, or something you enjoy. •Stay away from negativity, set those boundaries. •Hire a health coach.😉 These are just a few ideas, you get the point, I hope.📺 Need help figuring out how to reduce your stress?

You are literally what you eat! 🍓🍔🥦🍕🥬🍟 Every 35 days your skin replaces itself, your liver only about 30. Your body makes these new cells from the foods you eat. Picture that, what kind of cells are you choosing to grow? Eating vital nutrients for your body can give you increased energy, better sleep, give your mood a boost, as well as decreasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes for example. I find out that I love to cook healthy meals, it's meditative for me and so delicious! If cooking isn't for you or you don't have the time then choose 1 or 2 healthy food delivery services, there are plenty to choose from these days. You don't have to change in a day, start by implementing small changes in what you buy, crowd out the bad foods in the fridge and pantry with good foods as you go along.

Sleep is extremely important for overall health.😴 Without it you could be putting your health at risk. Here are some tips on how to get better sleep: • Go to bed and get up at the same time every day. • Create a relaxing atmosphere in the bedroom. • Avoid large meals, alcohol, and caffeine before bed. • Get some form of daily exercise. • Use a safe and effective product such as dōTERRA's Serenity sleep complex or diffuse Serenity oil. (There are many oils to diffuse for sleep) I recently beat chronic fatigue doing all of the above. Browse through the photos, ask me any questions. If you're looking to improve your sleep and want help, let's chat. Otherwise, peaceful sleeping.😴 https://www.instagram.com/p/CdglbwZOrQy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Expanding on the knowledge of all things natural wellness is very important to me. I didn't know what I now know, until I was open to learning more about it.

Then I have a few more waiting for me such as the Neurobiology of Trauma and Master Herbalist.🌱 One of dōTERRA's owners, Dr. Hill, created this technique.This technique combines the unique benefits of human touch with the power of essential oils to create an overall wellness experience. “The AromaTouch Technique was developed to maximize the benefits of essential oils.
