Recently, I wrote about my experience with pelvic floor dysfunction. In large part, the reason I was experiencing such discomfort was because I had high tone pelvic floor, hip flexor and inner thigh muscles. While it sounds like a good thing, “high tone” means that my muscles were too tight at rest, which was causing the imbalance. To release my… Read More
When I first started dating my husband, he would lovingly comment that my nose is always in a book. It’s true that I’ve always been a bit of a book worm. As an introvert, I could sit and read all day. I truly can’t get enough. I’ve always liked non-fiction and still do, but when I became a Health Coach,… Read More
I eat a fairly clean diet, so the weekends are my chance to be a little adventurous with food usually by trying a new restaurant or healthy-ish food trend. This weekend, I decided I wanted a bagel. Since I went gluten-free a year ago, I haven’t had a bagel, so I did a little research and decided that I… Read More

It may not have been the kind of weekend that would excite most people, but to me, it was not only exciting but also challenging and humbling. I’ve been hinting… Read More
My obsession with all things barre lately is off the charts. Maybe it’s because I love how I feel so strong and energized after class at The Bar Method or maybe I just really love the grippy socks and open-back tanks. Either way, I put together this list of barre class essentials that I’m relying on regularly right now or… Read More
It’s time to let you in on the secret that is my daily meditation practice. For the longest time, I struggled with making meditation a daily habit. I would stick with it for a few days, weeks or even a month and then it would just sort of fall to the wayside. It was frustrating because I wanted to make… Read More
Oh you guys …. I wish I could tell you I had some epic weekend, but what I’ve been up to will have to wait until next Monday when I can actually make it official. Until then, I’ll stick with the basics, because I still managed to sneak in a few of my favorite things, albeit things you’ve seen around… Read More
