Each spiritually conscious step taken brings you closer to living your joy. We all have the innate power to heal and transform our lives, to restore health, and to create within us a sense of total wellbeing. Understanding the body through Holistic Health and WellBeing is about exploring our inner world, becoming more conscious, and peeling away the layers of negative patterns and beliefs. As a result, you will experience benefits such as increased harmony, peace, balance, and enhancement of spiritual, mental and physical health.

I use my skills to inspire and guide clients, to make healthier choices in body, mind and spirit. Spiritual health is an interwoven connection to our physical health, emotional health, mental health, and also our social environment. Maintaining good spiritual health involves stepping out of your mind and body, getting in touch with what really matters, and living in line with your true self. Spiritual health may mean something different to each one of us. To me, spiritual health means connecting with Mother/Father God, the Universe, the Divine intention and Spirit. On a daily basis, through living in the moment, as we slow down, we tune in, listen, and make life work for us.

Inspirational Thoughts
Mission Trip to India
I was inspired on my mission trip to Padum India. I could never have imagined the awe-inspiring journey I encountered. Going off the grid was like untangling myself from a fish net. Being free from technology, and my extremely engaged life, was like a "Get Out of Jail" Monopoly card! I love my life and I am living the life Spirit destined me to create. What I experinced in India, reminded me to take a deep breath, step back, and take a good look at life. It also taught me, that I needed to thrust my ability to adapt to unusual or challenging situations. I realized that I could become comfortable with ever-changing circumstances in each experience. Living my life, truly in the moment, could influence my happiness, health, stress level, and general well-being.
So, how can you and I learn the power of adaptability so that we are ready and willing to take on any change, big or small, that comes our way? clb
What is Adaptability?
I believe that adaptability can be defined as our ability to move peacefully in a given direction at any time. This may mean physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. It’s our willingness to let go, flow, learn something new, make mistakes (and not judge ourselves for them) and stay in the moment. However, to do that we must be comfortable in making last minute adjustments, or be willing to change our behavior in each unfamiliar situation.
Most of us go into a new situation with our minds already made up about what we think is going to happen, or with expectations of how it should be. These thoughts are programmed in us from our past personal experiences, other people’s opinions, or simply mistaken beliefs. Each of us form ideas about what will happen based on these experiences or beliefs, and this usually affects the choices or actions we take.
"No matter what the change, all of us go into every situation with a set of expectations, (what we think will happen); requirements (what we need to actually happen); and desire (what we want to happen). From "Psychology Today”
That being said, I always tried to live my life free of expectations and just go with creative flow as much as possible; however, being in India showed me that "trying" and "doing" are two different things. I had to consistently set aside my expectations and be fully in the moment. What I discovered gave me true power, and by adapting I let go of what I thought should happen and truly lived in the here and now.
