HEALTH AND WELLNESS

towards wellness and align your thoughts to be well on your way through your journey of life!

Our bodies are such dynamic structures! We are truly wonderfully made! Did you know that the up and down motion of activities which lift your feet off the ground from something as simple as jumping rope, or doing jumping jacks will help your body to keep removing waste and toxins from your blood? Waste and toxins in your blood are key contributors to the overall feeling of feeling tired. Up and down activities like jumping rope, the trampoline, playing basketball, doing jumping jacks are each great ways to relax and reduce stress.

From a small child upwards, I loved spelling and actually came in second place in the Spelling Bee. I loved looking in the medical book my parents had before I could even read or spell, my hobby was writing, and eventually I fell in love with makeup artistry and healthy research, to learn what would help my skin not feel so dry! I also had certain digestive issues and wasn’t very good in math or science which frustrated me into a peptic ulcer in school, but I kept trying anyway to get better and that eventually began a deep journey into makeup, skin care, mustard and honey!

Often as a child I would get horribly sick and my Mother would rub mustard on my stomach… and it worked!! I would stop throwing up and my stomach would become calm. That fascinated me! My mother was also a Licensed Cosmetologist; she loved styling hair and I loved the girlishness of makeup! As a passionate, holistic advocate and coach, it’s in my nature to emerge in deep to find and extract the goodness within!

Now that you have a little insight about me, its time to point your body
