Yoga for Wellness!
I was introduced to the practice of yoga in the Summer of 2000 by a new friend I met in a train station in Italy. She took me to my first sweaty, hot Bikram’s yoga class once we returned to Madison, WI where we were both undergrads.

10 Ways to Remain Steady in an Unsteady World
About five years ago, we were finding our way through the uncertainty, fear, stress, and grief of the Covid-19 Pandemic and The Black Lives Matter Movement with protests, riots, and social unrest. Fast forward five years from Spring 2020 to today, I am hearing from many clients and connections that they are once again feeling heightened levels of uncertainty, fear, stress, and grief due to the political and social climate in the United States. During unwelcome and trying times, how do you remain steady in the face of adversity and hardship?

Electrolytes for Mental Health and Overall Wellness!
I am a big proponent of attending to our basic needs to support mental health and wellness. Our foundational survival needs are air, water, food, shelter, and sleep. If our basic needs are not being met, we will suffer physical, mental, and emotional symptoms. When we are struggling, it’s important to address foundational needs as part of treatment.
There is newer science that supports drinking water alone may not be enough to stay hydrated. Especially more active folks or those on restricted diets may require water and electrolytes to hydrate.

Biolateral and Bilateral Music Used for EMDR and Brainspotting Therapy!
