Do You Have Random Unexplained Pains? My Experience.
Do you have back pain, frozen shoulder, arm pain, or other body parts, but doctors can't find anything wrong?
Could emotions be the cause of your pain?
I can help!
I went through this with frozen shoulder that was so bad my shoulder rotated inward 39 degrees, and my balance was so off that I would just fall down. The pain was unrelenting - sharp, sudden pains that caused me to not move my arm, resulting in complete atrophy of my arm. I suffered for about 8 months, unable to do normal things, and then I stumbled on some things that worked...
My pain was caused by a thing called TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome) which is rooted in trapped, buried deep emotions. I released those, and suddenly my frozen shoulder was able to heal. Then I used fascia stretches to regain my strength and flexibility.
Since then, I have helped roughly 20 clients successfully.
Recently, it started to happen again on the other shoulder, but in one session I reversed it and stopped it from happening again.
I offer a free 10-minute consult where I check to see if this will work for you. An easy phone or Google Meet appointment. If this is not right for you, I'll tell you what is...

Stress is not bad
Stress is good.
Maybe this is the first time you have heard this, or maybe you just need to be reminded, so I'll go on...
Stress is necessary for life to exist.
Stress makes things happen. It moves the mark.
There are studies that show that....
Stress is good.
Maybe this is the first time you have heard this, or maybe you just need to be reminded, so I'll go on...
Stress is necessary for life to exist.
Stress makes things happen. It moves the mark.
There are studies that show that stress is actually more beneficial and less detrimental to those who look at stress as a good thing.. and way more damaging to those who look at it as "bad". So I repeat.. stress is not bad.
I want my stress to be beneficial to me and the world. I want it to move me to do good things, not hurt me, kill me, or hurt others.
So what makes stress good or bad? It's not the stress itself...
Exercise is Stress. Is it bad? No. Well, it can be, if in excess, or if too little.
Same as Stress. Too little stress is just as bad! It will kill you. It will suck the life right out of you...you have no purpose, no desire, no drive. Those are all things that warrant some stress. Without those things, it drains your life. With purpose comes a certain level of stress, a good level. A level of resistance, hurdles, lessons, struggle... and overcoming! Breaking through! Achieving! These things are are the essence of life - only when we have the right intentions, though. The right intentions make the difference between making good things happen for all of mankind and the planet, OR making bad things happen for all of mankind and the planet. Even small things with the wrong intentions can have a devastating effect.. For certain, all our actions have some effect on all of mankind and the planet. All of them. Our job is merely to change our intentions, so that every effect we have is a positive one.

Let's look at some more examples:
Words – are they good or bad? I would say they can be great with the right intent, and very bad with the wrong intent. But still, where would we be without them?
Water – life sustaining, but also can kill people when there is too much (floods, tsunamis, etc)
The Sun – life sustaining, but too much or getting too close can burn you.
Power – good, but not in balance and not with the right intention, you will see greed and ego take over and cause evil in the world.
Influence – good.. one caveat, with the right intentions..
Money – money is physical representation of energy. It is generally good, but it can be bad when used for the wrong thing, when given too much value, when received from ill means.
Working For Money – necessary, but the wrong intent, ultimately. Working for JUST money will end up with negative results. Working for God, for helping others, for helping a company to keep others fed, for PURPOSE... Those are all good intentions for work. Purpose doesn't have to be over thought, either. If you are helping others, making the world a better place, that IS purpose. Don't get lost in making finding a specific career your purpose. Purpose is about accomplishing positivity on earth. Doesn't matter what your career is, really. If you feel inclined to do a certain thing, then it's probably for a reason, but if you don't, then maybe your purpose is just to help, period. Doesn't matter where.
I can say that, as a boss, it is very rare to find an employee who is truly focused on helping, and even those that generally are focused on helping, at times lose their focus and become focused on their own gain, or even just their own fears. When bosses find a selfless person, they cherish them. A person who is always focused on serving at their job and has no other expectations, will always do well in the world and generally will always be happy and feel satisfied, regardless of the work, the pay, etc. We have to all dig in and do our own shadow work and find our true intentions and fears, specifically the ones we hide from our selves. Focusing on giving, makes you a very valuable team member and people can see it when it's real. They can see it when it's fake too... We tend to only fool ourselves, not others.
Intent cannot really be faked. You can “fake it till you make it”, but if you never make it, you still don't have the right intent, and people around you can feel that.
I digress...
The point is, there's nothing on earth that is wholly "good" or "bad". But, anything “good” can be ruined by either imbalance or negative intentions.
Religion... So many examples here.. but ultimately, intentions make the difference between it hurting or helping.
Love... too much love of one's self, not enough..., too much love of money, or other idols. Love of material things, all wrong intention, and negativity ensues...
Sex - That's a whole other topic.. but still imbalance, and intention are what ruins it.
The only things in the world that are truly bad and truly make other things bad are imbalance and intention. Everything else is just a format for the projection of those two things.
So, back to stress... if we are feeling stress in a negative way, can we check our intent in whatever we are doing that is causing stress and correct it? Can we check to make sure that we are balanced with only the stress that makes things move, but does not affect our health or others negatively?
If you take anything from this, I hope you will go forward telling yourself, and others, “oh are you stressed, today?? That's a good thing, Stress is not bad!!" The mere understanding of this fact changes it completely. It changes the intent!
Balancing with herbs & Warming herbs for winter!
One of the things that a good herbalist does is to balance your body's natural composition using herbs for instance some people have a very dry consistency or very moist consistency or are very cold natured or very hot natured these are things I can change over time in our life based on health conditions and circumstances but also we have a basic consistency that we're born with.
Balancing this consistency to a normal level is one of the most important things in having a healthy body when your body is consistently fighting against a an unbalanced system it's always working harder and it doesn't have the energy or the opportunity as much to fight off other things
Lately as the weather changes I've been feeling a lot of dryness in my body and of course a lot of coldness. For this reason I'm using a lot of moisturizing and warming herbs in my teas foods and medicines

During the winter months, one of my favorite ways to stay warm as a generally cold-natured person is drinking yummy warming drinks... Like my herbal hot cocoa mix which is like an adult hot chocolate an adult version of hot chocolate and features cinnamon and cardamom as well as very clean organic chocolate and is a very healthy alternative to chocolate cravings as well. The herbal benefits are fantastic and it tastes great as well especially helpful during times where hormones are unbalanced and I'm craving chocolate. :)

Another winter favorite is my golden milk mix. Golden milk is a creamy delicious golden latte type of drink that features turmeric, the most beneficial anti-inflammatory herb in the world and often touted as one of the best panacea herbs in the world overall.
Both of these drinks raise the body temperature significantly, making cold winter nights bearable. I like to drink a cup right before bed or after dinner and I sleep comfortably instead of bundled up shivering..lol
Warm soups with immune boosting, building herbs like astragalus, reishi, cordyceps are a wonderful way to boost immunity during cold and flu season wg
Which starts in the fall and goes all the way to spring ( just opposite allergy season..lol).
Call, email or click here to check out our winter drink mixes or to set up a consultation for an herbal wellness consult to balance your body and address any health issues, known, or unknown in a natural way, without harmful side effects. The way nature Intended. : D
Does just looking at this image make you SNEEZE?
Well, it shouldn't...
We see goldenrod's bright fluffy yellow flowers popping up at this time of year and we are conditioned to think, "oh no!" But as it turns out, goldenrod has gotten a bad rap.
Actually, the weeds we are allergic to during the fall just happen to come out at the same time as goldenrod, but they are not quite as eye-catching, and they fly under the radar, while goldenrod gets the bad name.
In reality, goldenrod is the cure to fall pollens that trigger our allergies. What an unsung hero! The story of goldenrod is really similar to a fluffy yellow flower that pops up in the spring and also has a bad rap... the dandelion. : ) Both are joyous, beneficial, amazing herbs that are much underappreciated and hated in society, despite the good work they do for us humans.

Goldenrod is one of the herbs that I use in my very popular Allergy Tea formula, which sells out all year long here in the allergy capital of the world, but is especially popular in the spring and fall. Lots of clients drink a cup or 2 of allergy tea per day during the spring or fall (or whenever their allergies kick in), in order to counterbalance the affects of pollens and keep their allergies from becoming an infection. Drinking this tea can keep you off of over-the-counter medicines completely. Use of OTC allergy medicines has been linked to dementia and Alzheimer's, so being off of them is a really great idea.

Taking Herbs is For Healthy People!
In most of the world, people use herbs and/or consult an herbalist for any health issues they are having long before they would ever go to a doctor. The western world is the anomaly when it comes to healing methods. While western medicine, in the last 100 - 200 years or so, certainly has its place and continues to do miraculous ingenious things, particularly with acute conditions, herbalism is tried and true and has been working for the majority of the world for thousands of years.
We know that each herb has MANY chemical compounds within it and taking those herbs is a more holistic method of healing, which means that using an isolated compound may not heal everything around the issue, where the entire plant with all it's compounds does. They all work together to create a synergistic effect in our bodies that has evolved with humans throughout time.
Herbs definitely have earned their place for first aid and pain management (and no, I do not mean marijuana.. or CBD - although those things certainly have their places too) and for healing minor and major health conditions, but the true purpose of herbs as it was taught by healers all over the world is for preventative purposes. We can and should be using ALL THE HERBS on a regular basis to KEEP ourselves healthy. Most cultures in the world also use LOTS of herbs in their cooking. Here in the US, we tend to sprinkle herbs in our recipes, but other cultures pour handfuls or cups where we add teaspoons or pinches. I say try adding more spice to your food! Add 2-4 times the cinnamon, turmeric or pepper that you would normally use. You may have to add more coconut cream or something else to balance it out, but your food will have lots more yummy flavor, and your body will get more healing benefits. Try it out and let me know how it makes you feel. Let me know if you have questions on how to add more and still make it taste right.
Also, consider adding things like reishi mushrooms, astragalus and seaweed to your soups, bone broths and stocks. Reishi is just for cooking, so make sure to take it out before you eat! Seaweeds are great for adding minerals that we don't normally get and we need in our diet, plus they make your soups salty tasting! Reishi and astragalus are great for building up our immune systems, preventing us from developing everything from minor colds to cancer.

Another fantastic way to get more herbal goodness into your diet is through herbal teas. Whether you want a nutritive blend, a calming blend that helps you sleep, quiets the rumblings of your tummy, calms your seriously frayed nerves, assists in healing your broken heart or your high blood pressure, there is a tea that will not only help you, but it will reach your soul on a level that you cannot understand. This is the magic of plants: the magic that the universe gives to us every day for as long as we have existed. It's up to you to know, honor and use them, in a sustainable way for your body and for the world. Want help finding the tea for your soul? Ask me or any herbalist for a consult and a tea recommendation. You won't be sorry you did : ) We also sell bulk herbs that are super fresh ( most herbs on a grocery shelf sit around too long and are no longer beneficial), organic whenever possible and sustainably grown, so you can trust what you are eating and drinking.
I challenge you to learn and try one new herb that you've never tried before, and then incorporate it regularly into your diet. Leave a comment below and let me know which new-to-you herb you are going to try! I may use those suggestions to do future blog posts featuring some herbs and their healing benefits.
Cheers to your health and vitality!
Dandelions Are Our Friends!
As dandelions are newly popping up in yards everywhere, it is nature’s way of reminding us that it is time to use dandelions to benefit our health : ) Dandelion greens are great in salads and have an affinity for helping our kidneys among other things. They are bitter to the taste, which serves like digestive bitters as a pre-meal digestion boost. I love to mix with fresh strawberries or other fruits and a delicious berry balsamic vinaigrette dressing to balance the bitter with sweet. Dandelion flowers are a great mood up-lifter and can be eaten ( only eat of found in a totally chemical free environment!! ), also in a salad, can be made into tea, or can be very beneficial in flower essences.

Perhaps, best of all, at this time of year, is the Dandelion Root... These are great gentle detoxifiers which can benefit us tremendously at this time of year after winter has left our bodies stagnant. Dandelion Root tea and tincture are available as well as customized blends with other spring herbs like horsetail and nettles, here at our shop. We also sell a flower essence called Quiet Mind which is lovely and has dandelion blooms in it among other things. It helps to lift the spirit, and relax the mind and is very beneficial for getting deep sleep at night, not to mention which, it smells amazing. Come in and smell for yourself. : )
