Discover In the Quiet Still — A Winter Apothecary
Winter invites a different kind of pace. The world softens, the evenings stretch out, and something in us naturally turns inward. It’s a season for warm hands, slow rituals, and reconnecting with simple comforts. Out of this quiet space, I created something I’m incredibly proud to share: ✨ In the Quiet Still: A Winter Apothecary of Forest Tinctures Now available on Amazon. This book is a gentle companion for the colder months—a blend of herbal craft, winter imagery, and heart

Genetic Variations, Undereating, Fasting & Why Some Bodies React With Blood Sugar Spikes and Fat Storage
Some people can skip breakfast, run on caffeine, fast until noon, hit the gym hard, and feel fine. Others try the exact same thing and end up anxious, shaky, exhausted, and hungry, yet somehow gain weight despite eating next to nothing. This isn’t a lack of discipline. This isn’t “not trying hard enough.” This is biology—specifically, genetics. There are certain gene variations—most famously COMT, MAO, DBH, and sometimes MTHFR—that make it harder for the body to break down an

The Power of the Soft Touch: Why Subtle Healers Carry the Loudest Confidence
There is a strange cultural myth that confidence must be loud. That effectiveness requires pressure and force. That authority announces itself with force, volume, or a firm grip. That the practitioner who adjusts aggressively, speaks over others, or moves with theatrical certainty must somehow be “more skilled.” But here’s the truth no one names: Force is not confidence. Force is a noise familiar to dysregulated nervous systems. When a person is used to chaos, a chaotic pract

Resetting Your Rhythm After the Time Change
The weeks after the autumnal equinox always carry a strange kind of quiet—almost like nature has lowered its voice. The daylight shortens, evenings stretch, and then the clocks fall back. You’d think a one-hour shift wouldn’t rattle us, but our bodies run on the language of light, not the language of clocks. Your circadian rhythm—the internal timing system that manages sleep, mood, hormones, digestion, stress responses, and even immunity—takes its cues from sunrise and sunset

Conscious Nutrition
Conscious Nutrition: Eating With Awareness Instead of Anxiety For years, I watched people cling to diets the way you hold onto a lifeline in rough water. Carb fear, fat fear, calorie counting, fasting windows, protein obsession — the whole buffet of modern nutritional noise. And underneath it all, most people weren’t learning to nourish themselves. They were learning to disconnect from their bodies. I wrote Conscious Nutrition because nutrition shouldn’t feel like a punishmen

Unstuck
Unstuck: The Little Book About the Big Problem Nobody Wants to Talk About There’s a funny thing about constipation: nearly everyone deals with it at some point, yet almost no one talks about it until they’re miserable. As a practitioner, I’ve heard it whispered, joked about, or mentioned as an afterthought — as if bowel movements are some optional body feature instead of a major sign of health. I wrote Unstuck because I got tired of watching people quietly suffer through some

Nutrition Health Hacks
Your food supply is not what it used to be, our toxin load is incredible, and our stressors are insurmountable. IF (a big IF) nutrients are available in your food, the ability of your body to break it apart, transport it, and use it to heal, remains a mystery. If you choose supplements as part of nutritional therapy, it is a slow brew to help the body heal itself. It is not intended to treat a symptom, rather to resource each cell of your body to positively change your health

Magical Magnesium
Magnesium is a nutrient that is involved in over 300 cellular reactions. Therefore, proper magnesium availability can enhance over 300 processes in your body and positively impact health. Many things within your life will deplete magnesium including stress, disease, medications, inflammation, genetic mutation, and certain foods. Blood tests can help determine temporary levels of magnesium, but this singular value should not solely be used to determine deficiency. If you have

This transformation could not be more apparent than in a recent addition to my self-love routine. Even just a year ago, I would not have called deliberate cold exposure self-love...I would have deemed it a torment, and years on the path of hypothyroidism defined this belief. With hypothyroidism, any temperature below 80 degrees turned into lingering pain. M

Not All Are Healers
Not All Are Healers… The well-deserved title of doctor is not synonymous with, nor owned by, allopathy, human, or conventional medical care. We certainly honor a doctoral investment in fields like Nutrition, Naturopathy, English, Theology, Mathematics, Psychology,or Physics, all the same. In the doctor, we find a scholarly technician of a specific box of information and application. Contrastingly, the call of the Healer rings a much deeper tone. The Healer can fuel the creden

Where The Wild Things Grow
I have determined that farming, flower beds, and gardening are not my jelly. Although I’m still young at this ancient art, foraging to create herbal medicinals, tinctures, teas, and nutrient-dense foods is what I’m drawn to. I prefer the medicines and the truths that are laid in front of me in the form of herbs, or what we have been trained to know as “weeds”. Those weeds that we yank from the soil or kill with chemicals, can feed us and heal us. The weeds can tell us what nu

The Power In The Choice
Healing is something invisible that takes place on the inside of each of us. One person's healing journey will not take the shape of anyone else's and to think that it should will only cause more wounding. True healing is not a cure or a fast fix, rather a sovereign journey to wholeness, wellbeing, and peace. Healing does not always end with absolution or dissolution and often ends with a simple embrace of the wound that we can’t seem to touch. Healing is loving all of the br
