Being a woman IS your Super Power. Your feminine intuition. Your feminine wisdom. Your feminine power. Your feminine tenacity. Your feminine fierceness. Your feminine beauty. And your feminine unconditional love. ... The other day I thought about all of the women across the world. Past and Present. And all of the women that were born and lived before me. This is before I knew International Women’s Day was coming up. And I was filled with such gratitude for all of the sacrifices, hard work, dedication, grit, relentless perseverance they demonstrated over time to get all of us where we are today. Unfortunately I was also struck with sadness over the enormous and heart wrenching depth of mental, emotional and physical abuse, disrespect, disregard, assault of every kind, trauma, ignorance, bias, prejudice, human trafficking and wage/gender gap in pay. All of which still exists at this very moment. I’m happy to be here living and breathing on this planet at this time in 2021. And I’m incredibly grateful, ridiculously proud and humbly honored to be a woman amongst countless inspirational, powerful, trail blazing, smart as a whip, purpose- driven leaders and badass women that make my life more convenient, easier-ish, achievable and filled with endless opportunities and possibilities!! Cheers and love to every woman and every little girl across this crazy, beautiful planet! #womensinternationalday #womensupportingwomen #womensintuition #divinefeminine #womenbusinessowners #womendoctors #womenempowerment #womeninbusiness #intimatepartnerabuseawareness #humantrafficingawareness #genderpaygap #womenshealth #feminineenergy #féminine #femalefriendship #beingawomanisyoursuperpower

UPCOMING WEBINAR ON THYROID HEALTH!!

Sunday afternoons are my favorite day to hike with this special and spunky beauty, Penelope! After attending a 4 day live webinar business coaching event with my colleague peeps (super awesome by the way!), getting my butt outside to enjoy nature was exactly what the doctor ordered! ... California sunshine, blue sky, lovely hiking trails, fellow hiking humans, a flowing American River and a dam disguised as a waterfall from Lake Clementine. (One of my favorite hikes!) A magical recipe and therapy. So Grateful. #hikingwithdogs #sundayhikes #naturetherapy #americanriver #lakeclementinetrail #northerncalifornia #auburncalifornia #exerciseoutdoors #germanshepherdsofinstagram #germanshepherd #penelopethegermanshepherd #hikingbuddy #getoutdoors #sundayserenity

Can I get a Hell Yes!! Or An Amen!! Or a True Dat!! Life is a precious, beautiful gift. It is meant to be ENJOYED! ... Surround yourself with people that lift you, inspire you, encourage you, support you, care for and love you. Turn away from others that attempt to burn out your light and keep walking in the opposite direction. I’ve done this on so many occasions and it is incredibly liberating and empowering! Say YES to healthy boundaries and a better life you so deserve!! #toxicpeoplebegone #healthyboundaries #empowered #narcissisticabuse #narcissismawareness #toxicrelationships #hiddenabuse #freedom #happinessisachoice #lifeisagift #selflove #selfrespect #heal

Sunday afternoon girl time. Fresh scrumptious food partly from the garden. Walking in the scenic beauty and sunshine. ... Conversation, connection, laughter, smiles and support. A perfect way to spend a Sunday. Grateful for female friendship. #sundaylunch #sundayfriendsday #freshfromthegarden #femalefriendship #womensupportingwomen #connection #attitudeofgratitude #countyourblessings #northerncalifornia #sundaysunshine #girltime #fillyouremotionalcup

I took a much needed getaway weekend trip to beautiful Sonoma County. Wow what a treat! I’d been feeling stressed, overwhelmed and anxious lately and just needed to leave my usual daily environment and travel to a new destination to ease and clear my mind. I brought my laptop with the expectation to get some work done. But when I discovered the wi-fi wasn’t consistent I decided to keep the laptop closed and instead savor and absorb the natural scenic beauty! ... With my spunky, playful puppy Penelope and a friend to engage in wonderful conversations (and some amazing food!) I welcomed this digital detox and took it all in. Having lived in California for most of my life, this was a gorgeous gem I hadn’t yet explored. So grateful I did! I will be back to visit more of Sonoma County! P.S. When you feel that need, that calling to get away and relax, go for it! Your body, mind & spirit will thank you. #weekendgetaway #travel #sonomacounty #visitsonomacounty #jennerbeach #monterio #guerneville #tripswithdogs #redwoods #iloveredwoodtrees #russianriver #sonomacoast #digitaldetox #stressrelief #weekendroadtrip #lifebalance #bodymindspirit

What the Heart Needs

This Valentine’s weekend, I spent with good friends from Friday to Sunday. Dinners, lunch, hiking and just awesome conversations and connections. I don’t have pictures from Friday and Saturday with those friends but I was able to capture some cool ones from today, Valentine’s Day. ... To me it’s just a Sunday. And it’s just the 14th of February. The weekend was simple and perfect. Nothing fancy. Just people getting together to enjoy each other’s company and enjoy life. And my how my German Shepherd, Penelope quickly converts to wild wolf in nature when she’s free to run off leash! Let’s celebrate, appreciate and be grateful for the love we receive and the love we give to one another every single day of the year. #valentine #galentine #palentine #friendship #loveeveryday #loveoneanother #attitudeofgratitude #hikingwithfriends #hikingwithdogs #eldoradocounty #roseville #sundayhike #cronanranchtrails #germanshepherd #germanshepherdsofinstagram #penelope See more

Sex, Libido & Testosterone in Women Over 40. What happens?? Things change for a lot of women. And they change for many reasons. ... * Hormones start to drop (if not already before age 40). * Mainly Testosterone takes a dive and that amazing hormone controls your desire for sex, orgasm ability, your fiery passion. Testosterone also strongly influences your ambition, your confidence, your energy, your decisiveness. Boom! It ALSO helps support muscle strength IF you are engaging in strength training exercises. Using weights or your own body as resistance. And strength training exercises really influence your testosterone levels. It’s a win win!! And when testosterone and muscle strength go up , body fat and clothes sizes go down . Bye Bye! Strength in body and mind is sexy. Muscles are sexy. Testosterone is sexy. And a fervent libido is sexy. Curious about your hormone levels? Having symptoms of fluctuating or dropping hormones and feeling bummed about that? Let’s get you scheduled for a free 20 minute Discovery call to get the help you need to feel better in your body!!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Peri-Menopause: that transition phase of fluctuating, unpredictable symptoms years before Menopause. One of the most common symptoms I hear from my peri-menopausal patients is My mood has changed. Common mental/emotional symptoms of this phase of life include:... * Depressed mood * Anxiousness * Mood swings * Trouble focusing - Attention Deficit * Difficulty adapting to stress or changes * Lessened interest in your passions * Irritability * Impatient * Crying over the littlest things/more sensitive * Feeling hopeless and despair * Over worrying at things * Reduced ambition, drive, mental stamina * Interrupted sleep * Sense of aloneness in how you feel Why is there such dramatic changes in mental & emotional health?? The answer is simple yet entirely complex and individualized! Hormones like estradiol, progesterone and testosterone and in some cases cortisol and thyroid steadily decline as the female body prepares for reproductive and procreation completion. And when those hormones drop, it affects our neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, GABA which all help to regulate our mental health and moods. Among many other symptoms this waning leads to, our mental health takes a significant, distressing hit! If you are peri-menopausal (or still enduring this post-menopause) and feeling any of these symptoms, please know that you’re not alone!! The best thing you can do is reach out for help to an experienced, educated, compassionate professional clinically trained in understanding and treating women’s health and hormones, specifically peri-menopause. Applying a comprehensive, whole person, root cause, evidence based natural medicine approach to healing the body, please know that your mental, emotional & physical health will be addressed and treated.

My girl Penelope is my favorite reindeer! Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays! . #germanshepherd #germanshepherdsofinstagram #penelope #reindeershenanigans #merrychristmas #happyholidays #winter #itsthemostwonderfultimeoftheyear

Winter Solstice has arrived here in the Northern Hemisphere. The longest night and the shortest day. ... For some reason, I love this time of year. I’m nocturnal by nature and I just love the nighttime. The quiet, peaceful evenings and the magical and breathtaking sky full of stars in our infinite universe. As this noteworthy and momentous year comes to an end and as we turn a corner into a new season, get quiet and take this time to turn inward - perhaps further than before. How did you adapt, evolve and grow this year? . How did you become stronger and more resilient? . When you crumbled and felt fear and uncertainty, how did you overcome that? . What relationships did you nurture? What relationships did you let go? Moving forward, may you be filled with peace, gratitude courage, love for others and love for yourself. #wintersolstice2020 #earth #northernhemisphere #winterishere #nocturnal #darkestnightoftheyear #peace #gratitude #courage #love #movingforward #hello2021

Finish the Last Stretch of 2020 with Strength, Tenacity & Peace!
