Rainy Day Rant (Why I Don’t Like to Dumb Things Down)

. I'm not sure if I ever told you this story, so I wanted to make sure I did this week. (It involves me being in TOTAL disagreement with someone!) You'll also get a fun little peek into what goes down in my home late at night on rainy days! Take [...]

Lessons from a mama monkey (the silent epidemic that’s not being talked about)

Lessons from a mama monkey (the silent epidemic that’s not being talked about)

. I can't wait to share this new vlog with you. I filmed this while in the Philippines and it’s something very dear to my heart. Plus, there’s some bittersweetness attached to the message + education within. Head over to watch the beauty of natural child rearing, and learn a [...]

We are Not Hardwired (Tim Ferriss, This is For You!)

We are Not Hardwired (Tim Ferriss, This is For You!)

. I seem to butt heads with people when it comes to this topic: Nature versus Nurture. But thankfully, this debate is no more. We now know that both nature and nurture play a part in our ultimate health, with nurture these days being the MOST important factor for health, [...]

A few unknown causes for anxiety. (Things your doctor would never ask you.)

A few unknown causes for anxiety. (Things your doctor would never ask you.)

. A while back, I remember listening to this business guy tell his tale about the crippling anxiety he faced growing up. At the end of the talk, he invited the audience to ask questions. I asked him if he had ever heard about how early childhood stressors, especially being [...]

Zen Zombies & Fitness Freaks (My First Q&A!)

. Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? (You go to sleep, it’s there. You wake up, still there. Then, you don’t hear it for years... but then there it is in instrumental pan flute form at the dentist office and bam, it's back in your brain!) [...]

Why post-traumatic stress and chronic pain lands in some people, and not others.

Why post-traumatic stress and chronic pain lands in some people, and not others.

. Imagine you have two people who both get into an identical, and minor, fender bender (car accident). >> Person A walks away with zero post-traumatic stress - no chronic pain, no lasting whiplash, no fear to drive and get back behind the wheel. They go back to their life [...]

I’m here to bring a ginormous spotlight to an area of health and healing that’s being overlooked: unresolved and untreated trauma (of all kinds!).

Before you say, “I wasn’t traumatized”, please, please stick around because we, the scientific and clinical practice community, are finally redefining what a traumatic experience and adversity really is and it is not what most people think! I am here to give everybody access to education that is NOT dumbed down and assumes the reader wants the truth – even if it means getting into the nitty-gritty and feeling some feels. This means my articles (and videos that often accompany them) are more on the in-depth side and require you to think a bit more. In some cases a lot more. I hope you take some time to sink your curiosity into all that is on this page.

Much Love
