What is a Lifeline Coach?

4/26/2021

0 Comments

 
The benefits to working with a certified coach are many but I would say accountability is key. A coach is like a flashlight who will shine the light on anything that gets in the way of your goal and enable you to create a workable plan to achieve your life goals by addressing the 5Ds:

  • Decoding your past
  • Determining what you want
  • Demolishing all limiting beliefs
  • Developing leadership behaviors and 
  • Designing your future
If you could eliminate just one problem that creates all your problems what would that be worth to you?

Ask yourself: 
  • Am I Living to my Full Potential?
  • Am I Living my Dream Life?
  • Do I Wake Up Feeling Well?
Let's go out into your future and imagine your Dream Life now!
  • What do you see?
  • What do you hear?
  • What do you feel in your future body, mind and spirit?
  • How is your health and are you fit?
  • What are your finances like?
  • How are your relationships?

Now here is the reality. Many people are stuck. Like quicksand. It’s like every move you make instead of moving toward your dream, you're sinking and sinking and you just can’t get out of that quicksand. So many of you have massive talent and skill. Many of you are highly educated, and yet even though you're doing well you are not living your dream life. It’s like quicksand. If someone were to throw you that lifeline, would you grab it and allow it to guide you out safely and securely? Of course you would.

See yourself Thriving
  • With perfect health and optimal weight
  • Dis-Ease free
  • Your business booming
  • A career you love
  • Spiritually aligned
  • And, your personal development evolving

Neuro Linguistic Programming, Ayurveda & The Epigene

3/13/2021

0 Comments

 
The study of genes and heredity has come a long way since first discovered in 1865 by Gregor Mendel and furthered by C. H. Waddington in 1940 when he coined the term epigenetics. He saw changes that affect gene activity may result from external and environmental factors. Epi is rooted in the Greek word which means; upon, near to or in addition.This field picked up speed in 1970 all the way up to today with the study of why certain genes turn on and turn off. Current research has proven that behavior and lifestyle are the determining factors of whether or not a gene will be expressed.  

The ancient practice of Ayurveda as a lifestyle medicine has promoted this for thousands of years. It is true that as humans we must live in accordance with nature. Ayurveda is a life science with particular practices and routines for each unique body type. There are approximately 7.9 billion unique ways for an individual to be put together in body and mind. Wow!!!

I’ve been a Wellness Coach in Ayurveda and Yoga for over 20 years and have taught hundreds of people as well as traversing my own healing milestones. I see some people take quantum leaps toward a more peaceful way of life while others do not. These same struggles are inside me. “On the path, off the path, on the path, off the path”. Underneath this are the habits and limiting beliefs we hold. It isn’t always easy making the suggestions I make. People live in a whole world of considerations for why they Can’t make Changes: shame, pride & fear of being found out, are a few.

The basic premise of Epigenetics is simple; change the way you think, eat whole food, drink clean water, handle emotions with less reaction, be flexible, change behavior, get more aligned with natural rhythms. Create an environment in the body so health can exist.


This should be easy right? Ha! not at all. Look around you when I say ”natural”. There is nothing natural about the world we live in. I recently had an awakening moment. I saw piles and piles of “not natural”....houses, synthetics, plastics, chemicals, industrialized food. I felt generations of behaviors, attitudes, eating habits, addictions, deprivations. Invisible patterns and limiting beliefs, all working against us/me. The experience continues to be profound.

This led me to a new phase in my work as a Healing Artist and Wellness Coach. I found the key to influencing the Epigene, changing behavior and releasing the True Self back into flow with nature. Accredited in Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) as a Certified Coach with the Global Academy of Excellence, these profound techniques are now at my fingertips. Time Line Therapy, Parts Integration and so much more. A real habit buster tool.

Created in 1970 by Richard Brander and John Grinder they found the connection between neurological processes (neuro-), language (linguistic) and behavioral patterns learned through experience (programming), can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. In just one session I was able to see how I picked up a limiting belief in childhood that became a core belief. I was set free in just 10 minutes. I would like to share this with you as it is a true miracle tool! I am offering a free discovery session to determine your unique body constitution, what is and isn’t working for you and what you would like to create for your future. Don’t wait to make the changes. Time moves too quickly. There is no better time to transform than Springtime.

Eight Ayurvedic Healthy Practices

11/4/2019

0 Comments

 
  1. Meditate at least 5 minutes in the morning. Morning practice is the juice with all the ingredients.
  2. Fill up on rooted veggies, plenty of sweet potatoes, squash and don’t forget seasonal apples and pears mixed with pumpkin seeds or walnuts and a dash of jaggery and cinnamon for sweet.
  3. Oil up the skin! This is a time to switch from coconut oil and almond oil to a little more warming oils like sesame and even olive oil. My suggestion is to bathe your skin in these oils and then sit in a dry sauna 10 to 15 minutes. You will experience amazing results. 
  4. Time for more water. Hydration is a must be sure your water is Pure and Clean! I’ve had amazing results with distilled water as well.  
  5. For cooking use ghee and plenty of turmeric and ginger root this time of year. It's great for keeping the tube lubed so to speak. The anti-infectious and anti-inflammatory qualities of turmeric and ginger offer positive support for the season.
  6. Make more Khichardi! There are plenty of recipes online.
  7. Make a new bedtime if you can. Begin adjusting to the time change. Discipline your electronic use before bed and have real conversations.
  8. Be inspired by a book, drink herbal tea and Love Your Neighbors. You never know when you may need to call on them.

The Harvard Healthy Eating Pyramid

8/20/2019

0 Comments

 
The Harvard Healthy Eating Pyramid represents the latest nutritional science. The widest part at the bottom is for things that are most important. The foods at the narrow top are those that should be eaten sparingly, if at all.

While some extreme diets may suggest otherwise, we all need a balance of protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in our diets to sustain a healthy body. You don’t need to eliminate certain categories of food from your diet, but rather select and eat more of the healthiest options from each category.

Healthy Eating

8/20/2019

0 Comments

 
Eating a healthy diet is not about strict limitations, staying unrealistically thin, or depriving yourself of the foods you love. Rather, it’s about feeling great, having more energy, improving your health, and boosting your mood.

Healthy eating doesn’t have to be overly complicated. If you feel overwhelmed by all the conflicting nutrition and diet advice out there, you’re not alone. It seems that for every expert who tells you a certain food is good for you, you’ll find another saying exactly the opposite. The truth is that while some specific foods or nutrients have been shown to have a beneficial effect on mood, it’s your overall dietary pattern that is most important.

The cornerstone of a healthy diet should be to replace processed food with real food whenever possible. Eating food that is as close as possible to the way nature made it can make a huge difference to the way you think, look, and feel.

By using these simple tips, you can cut through the confusion and learn how to create—and stick to—a tasty, varied, and nutritious diet that is as good for your mind as it is for your body.
