(FYI – this post has tonnes of photos!) This trip made me realize what little the city does for me. The fine dining is dandy, the touristy stuff is cool, but the things that will stick with me for a lifetime are the hikes and views out in nature. I don’t know if that’s part … Read more
Is this you? Have you ever felt this way…? I’m leaving for Italy this afternoon. Some of my clients are having an anxiety attack because I’ll be away for 3 weeks. I’m assuring them not to fret – because I will be in CLOSE contact watching their every move…hahaha đ Seriously though, I thought this … Read more
Yoga at Your Desk Along with forgetting to breathe, we often find ourselves hunched over a keyboard or our phones and sitting at our desk for long periods of time without even moving anything but our fingers. I know how it is. I was working in an office and cubicle for 7 years. But itâs important … Read more
If you get knee pains after running or strength training, there’s a chance you’re like me – you have over-developed quads, weaker hammies, and hypermobile joints. Sounds fun eh?

I’ve been on an avocado high lately. Actually, it’s mostly because I’ve been buying small bags of them, and hubby is away in Maine learning Structural Integration with Tom Myers. So since I am unable to finish all these avocados before they completely ripen, I’ve been making all sorts of stuff. If you want to … Read more
Most avocado-egg salad recipes call for mayo, and vinegar. While this is all fine – well, not so much to mayo, depending on what kind you use – it’s not always necessary. Especially when you are trying to avoid any extra calories and unwanted “bad” fats. (read about good and bad fats HERE) Or when … Read more
It’s a very bold statement, but I am willing to put my life on the line for the benefits of avocados – Â literally! Recently, I’ve been meeting more people, including new clients of mine who don’t like avocados. That’s just crazy talk to me, but I know everyone has their own preferences. It’s the same … Read more
Food combining is a basic component to good nutrition. I wrote about food combinations for optimal protein intake for vegans HERE. But in this post, I want to talk about combining foods for optimal digestion. That is, to enhance absorption, reduce gas and bloating, and provide intestinal support for a healthy gut! And guess what? … Read more
