It was only six short years ago that I decided to take control of my own health. As a result of living a high-stress lifestyle, I was having severe episodes of anxiety, digestive upset, hormonal imbalances, and inadequate restful sleep. It was a total mess…
Do You Want More Ease and Joy in Your Life and Work?
I’ve spent years and YEARS trying to find this myself. I certainly didn’t do that well considering my energy tanked, anxiety was a daily occurrence, and healthy sleep wasn’t even in my vocabulary. It was so frustrating and from a career perspective, it probably halted my ability to take on the next step in my career.
Make no mistake, toxins are everywhere! Some things we have absolutely no control over such as environmental pollution. But, then there are ways we can definitely make more conscious choices especially when it comes to our diet, the chemicals that we use to clean our home, the products that we use on our skin, and the products that we use for our dental care.

I’ve been crushing on essential oils for years, my friends. Years ago, when I was struggling with stress and anxiety in my crazy-corporate job, I instinctively reached for essential oils. I naturally knew that I did NOT want rely on anti-anxiety pills at that point. So, I started to explore natural remedies such as a plant-forward diet, to more holistic approaches to managing stress. That’s where essential oils came it.
If you’re a follower on my Instagram page, you would have had the chance to see my 3-part post of daily health rituals or what I call “self-care Sundays”. The image above was directed to the more physical practice that I hold every Sunday night and many of the days during the week.
Those of you might remember that I ate a primarily plant-based diet (ie. vegan) for about 5-6 years. It was actually one of the best decisions as my body was dying for nutrients that a 100% plant-based eating lifestyle can provide. At the time, my stress levels were overflowing and the boost of vitamins and nutrients were helpful in healing.
