Even on our "good days," most of us are operating from a system that is depleted and fatigued. In fact, close to 70% of the population is suffering with adrenal fatigue, with their bodies in a constant state of activated stress-response, even if subtly.

When we are in a constant state of stress (even, and perhaps especially, low-grade, unconscious stress) our entire system is jeopardized. We are more likely to get sick, more susceptible to depression and anxiety, and less able to manage and cope with physical, mental, and emotional strain.

Self-care is, ultimately, about resting and restoring the nervous system. What we choose to “feed” ourselves, by way of self-care, ultimately feeds our nervous system and how our nervous system “feels” creates the foundation for how we react to the world around us. 

I invite you to watch a short Facebook Live I did the other day exploring this and I also hope that you can begin to get curious about the inner effect the forms of self-care you choose to include in your life. 

, always.

"I'm sincerely grateful that we are working together. Honestly, I didn't know what a life coach did until we started working together. I've come to realize that a coach's role is to help support you, not direct you.

Having a life coach is a priceless investment not only in myself, but also in my family, and community. Our coaching sessions make me a better person, which impacts those I care about as well.

You help me to sift through my issues with work, family, and self-care, and really come to a clearer understanding of what I value and am passionate about. I know that those values and feelings have always been there, but life's chaos often gets in the way. I see coaching as a way to gain clarity, focus, and insight into myself."
