Many people — even health and wellness professionals — don’t know that these weight stressors exist. Knowing these weight stressors and how to counteract them has revolutionized my life and my relationship with myself (especially my weight!).

I’m thrilled to invite you to join me in claiming that this year as “The Year of the New More Vibrant You.”  One of the big mistakes that most people make when they’re trying to create new habits and new results in their life, is they often bite off more than they can chew and attempt to completely change many big habits overnight. That’s a big mistake in the art of habit change.

And here’s why this matters. According to the U.S. News & World Report 80% of people do not achieve their New Year’s resolutions each year!…

This is a time for us ALL to expand our love and gratitude in the moment we are all in, no matter what’s going on in the outside world around us.

For those of us in the United States, I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! And no matter where you live in the world, I wish you gratitude, joy and blessings.

Although my family won’t be gathering all together this year, we will be gathering in smaller, more intimate ways. Every Thanksgiving we stand in a circle and we go around to say…

Many of us turn to beverages to increase our mental focus, energy and vibe during the day, or to decompress in the evening. The challenge is that your beverages of choice – whether it’s coffee or soda in the morning or for an afternoon pick-me-up, or an evening cocktail or glass of wine as a way to un-wine-d (pun intended) – might actually be sapping the energy out of your system!

Coffee by itself isn’t unhealthy; in fact, in the right doses it can be an antioxidant. But non-organic coffee is often grown in…

Congratulations to all of us as women as we pause our busy lives to remember to appreciate our freedom to vote and how far we’ve come in the last 100 years!

And I truly feel it’s crucial for us to remember we are standing on the shoulders of giants! The freedoms we enjoy today and the freedoms our daughters and granddaughters and great-granddaughters enjoy is due to the hard-earned freedom won by the amazing women who have come before us. 

These women could not not vote.

These women could not own their…

It’s bathing suit season again! Are you bikini ready? 

What do you think and feel when you hear those words? Delight or dread?

When I was a professional modern dancer in my 20s, you would think that bathing suit shopping was fun, right?! Not at all. Because I suffered from an over-active inner critic, bathing suit shopping was stressful and dreadful every summer. Sometimes I’d even walk out of the dressing room crying because I felt so bad about my body. And I was actually underweight at the time.

I know I’m not…

If you would love to stop abusing your body and cultivating even more self-love and freedom, you are going to love what I have in store for you.

Before we get to enjoy more body freedom, what’s first required is entering what I call is the “dark cave.” So let me start by revealing my dirty little secret? I used to be a “body self-abuser”?  Yep, all the way.

As a professional dancer I had a slew of deep, dark, very rooted, limiting beliefs and habits that kept me in pain mentally and physically. In…

Have you been dealing with some of the stress, anxiety and turbulence of our times using food to cope? Have you been struggling with keeping extra weight off, or even gained a few “pandemic pounds”?

If you are, you might appreciate knowing that it’s completely normal to use food as a coping method during these really stressful times. And that there are also some incredibly simple solutions – especially if this is something you’ve chronically struggled with!

That’s why I’m thrilled to introduce you to a friend of mine named Melissa Costello. She’s a…

Most of us have been taught that “calories in, calories out” is what creates weight change. But what if there’s so much more than meets the eye?

What if there are many deeper layers?

What if a global pandemic can trigger some of those layers? Or a time when it feels like the world’s in chaos, and you’re looking for safety?

In my several decades of research and study in the fields of health, well-being and creating ideal weight, I’ve found at least 12 “stress-ers” that impact our weight.

The good…

I’m excited to share with you a special TranscenDance™ workshop I did for our world-wide community on April 18th! More than 123 of us registered to attend from all over the United States and Canada, and from as far away as the United Kingdom and South Africa.

I created TranscenDance™ as a conscious dance modality for people to help them create and live a life they love living. The free-from movement of conscious dance both reduces stress and aligns us with a higher emotional frequency, so we can be in the energy of peace…
