You’ve probably noticed I talk a lot about the role of emotions in any mind-body healing journey, whether that journey is about pain relief, weight loss, stress relief, or something else. Feeling emotions and decoding their messages is a major part of the mind-body-soul connection. In fact, I’d even say it’s practically THE most important… Continue reading Using Emotions to Return to Inner Wisdom

Rolling out the Kinks
As you might already know if you’re a faithful reader, I have a terrible massage addiction. I adore massage with all my heart. So, when my massage therapist suggested I check out Yamuna Body Rolling as a self-massage resource, I was excited. Of course, nothing can replace a true massage from another human being, but… Continue reading Rolling out the Kinks
A Quick Way to De-Stress
Today I coached a client who was struggling with what we coaches call a false dichotomy. This is a war in the mind between to apparently conflicting issues, such as “I have to be a mom OR an entrepreneur.” Or, “I can’t write a book because I have to focus on my clientele.” This got… Continue reading A Quick Way to De-Stress
Troubleshooting Your Healing Process
After years of applying mind-body healing tools in my life and coaching others around using their mind-body connection to feel better, I’ve finally condensed what I know into practical and digestible pieces. We read about the mind-body connection, we hear more and more about it these days, and it sounds good. But the practical application… Continue reading Troubleshooting Your Healing Process
The Art of Waiting
I will admit it. Patience is not exactly one of my strengths. According to the Kolbe Index I’m a Quick Start. This just means that my tendency is to dive into things headfirst and get going, ASAP. I pretty much do everything this way. On the one hand, it does mean I get a lot… Continue reading The Art of Waiting

No More Settling for Blah
I was coaching a client today, and we discovered something fascinating. Her discomfort and not-quite-right feeling came from something really simple. She was focusing on to-do’s, her schedule, stuff that had to get done, and wasn’t asking herself the question, “What sounds fun?” I suggested she ask, “How can I have fun?” and “What feels… Continue reading No More Settling for Blah
The Key to Creating Change – Being a Good Spy
When I was a little girl, one of my favorite books was Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhigh. I loved Harriet. I emulated her in every way, practicing my spy techniques daily. I drove my parents nuts by appearing any time they were trying to have a private conversation. They joked that they couldn’t keep a… Continue reading The Key to Creating Change – Being a Good Spy
More Pregnant Revelations – Rest!
Before I got pregnant, I wrote various blog posts on resting. It’s one of those topics that can’t be re-iterated enough – in our culture, we don’t really learn how to rest, and we don’t usually give ourselves permission to rest as much as our bodies want. Let me just say, though, that I’ve learned… Continue reading More Pregnant Revelations – Rest!
Overeating and the Pregnant Revelations
For what seems like my entire life, I have struggled with overeating and not liking my body. That can’t actually be true, since I remember being five years old and definitely not caring about things like that, but by age ten, I’d definitely decided my body wasn’t attractive. I ate food to calm myself, to… Continue reading Overeating and the Pregnant Revelations
