As you’ve probably gathered, I’m a big fan of listening to my body and discovering its wisdom on a daily basis. I used to run my life based on analysis, logic, and what I thought I should do. Sometimes I would let myself venture onto the path of what felt right, but not much. Since… Continue reading Looking for Wisdom? Just ask your Body.

Stressed to the Limit?
This morning, I stumbled into my kitchen to cook breakfast, only to remember that there’s nothing in the kitchen. All the cooking utensils, plates, and bowls are scattered throughout my living room right now, and none of the cupboards have doors. The walls are half-painted and the counters are covered in sawdust. I currently can’t… Continue reading Stressed to the Limit?
Want to Heal? Be a Hot Mess.
Right now, I have a group of coaches taking my Mind-Body Coach Training. They’ve been thrown into what I call The Mess as they experience the first part of the training.

Here’s what I’ve learned in the last six months: Grief has no schedule. And, it’s highly disorganized. What a pain! Wouldn’t it be nice to block out ten minutes on the calendar for “Have a Good Cry/Beat on a Few Pillows” and have emotions fit perfectly into your day? Many of my clients have remarked… Continue reading Scheduling your Emotions
Letting the Journey be the Goal
To understand this blog post, you have to know that I have a thing for natural bodies of water. Whenever we were traveling during my childhood, I would veer off into rivers, lakes, ponds, or the ocean whenever possible. I love being in water, love feeling the river current, the ocean waves, the rocks and… Continue reading Letting the Journey be the Goal
Feeling Bad? Have a Tantrum!
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know the drill. You know you have to feel emotions that arise on a daily basis, because avoiding and therefore storing them in your body creates tension and pain. Obviously, no one is going to be perfect at feeling emotions. However, I, like you, have… Continue reading Feeling Bad? Have a Tantrum!
If You Feel Like a Mess, It’s Working
I get emails from clients like the sample below pretty much every week: Agh! I think something is terribly wrong with me! Oh no! I am crying a lot! I feel terrible! What should I do? I can’t live like this! What if I’m never happy again! To which I usually reply something like this:… Continue reading If You Feel Like a Mess, It’s Working
