My practice is dedicated to my beautiful mother.  She was the true definition of a “Super Mom”!  She was also a Super wife, daughter, Grammy, friend, and business owner.  Work hard, play hard was her mantra.  Grass never grew under her feet. She loved to plan vacations! She and my dad traveled the world accompanied along the way by many friends and family.  She was the first to volunteer for anything that needed to be done. A ride, a meal, moving, babysitting, you name it she was on it.

 Like many busy women, what she wasn’t on, was her own self-care. 
 
Sound familiar? 
 
In 2001, she was hit by a car in a parking lot and suffered a head injury. She struggled to bounce back.  For years she couldn’t go without dark sunglasses. Despite her struggle, the way she moved through the world didn’t change. She was a consistent light to those around her. Always on the go and giving of her time and energy. In hindsight, it was the beginning of her physical and cognitive decline. 
 

 I can’t help but see the parallels to my life and to the lives of many women I know.  Putting family, friends, work, community before our own self-care is standard operating procedure.  We all know we can't give from an empty cup.  There are times when we make self-care a priority, but sometimes life gets in the way and we fall off the proverbial horse.  I know, I've been there!
 
In June 2020, I was in a car accident. My vehicle was stopped, and I was hit from behind. For weeks after the accident, I didn’t feel well. Nausea, headaches, body aches…..  I continued to move through the world, feeling awful, ignoring my body. Business as usual! I was getting my home ready to sell, all my kids were in town, my mom was declining, my dad needed support…..
 
 I didn’t answer the call from my soul to slow down and practice self-care. 
 
 Intuitively, we all know this kind of behavior is unsustainable. I knew on a soul level that I was in trouble. I called my acupuncturist, made an appointment, and told her I was feeling as if I had pushed myself too far. 
 
A couple of days after that call, I was in the attic of my garage, missed a step coming down the stairs, and fell to the concrete floor. The result was two broken arms.    

I’ve come to see this accident as a blessing! The Universe's way of saying “Listen Sister, you’re not hearing my message! You don’t have to be the CEO of everything! I’ve got you! You are here to shine your light! Practice what you preach!”
 
My focus is to help my clients understand that they too are here to shine their light! You don’t need to be hit by a car or suffer a debilitating accident to take care of yourself!
 
I’m excited to help you let go of the idea that being healthy has to be hard. We will focus on progress over perfection. It all begins with TAKING ACTION. Start where you are.  I’ll meet you there, with no judgment!
