Back to blogging and some changes...


I know it's been an excessively long time since I've blogged here. I got to the point where strictly focusing on food/recipes wasn't as fun anymore. Of course I reserve the right to change my mind, but I've decided to start incorporating some different topics although they will still be health-related.

As you may or may not know, I'm a stay at home mom and have recently felt the urge to start learning something new, which may lead to opening my own business at some point. So I've been learning more about essential oils and have been taking a local mind/body medicine class, which have been incredibly exciting.

In the past, my primary approach to attaining improved health has been strictly through physical changes. At this point, I feel like I know so much in that area (chiropractic, nutrition, sleep habits, movement...) but I've been missing the emotional approaches to improving health.


When I was in high school I was incredibly depressed although I believe I hid it well. To this day (technically before this day), very few people were in on the secret. Although I was able to live what appeared to be a normal and happy life, I was miserable inside. I ended up seeing a therapist and at a low point, when things were seemingly not improving, she asked me if I wanted to consider medication. Not having any background information (at least compared to what I have now) on them, I instinctively said no. Thankfully, shortly after that, things started to improve to the point where I stopped seeing her and I've been improving ever since.

Four years later, once I got into chiropractic school, I began to learn about where health really comes from and began to make big changes that have improved my mental and physical health.

Fast forward to today and I've spent the last 6 years learning everything I could get my hands on about improving health. The one area I've missed has been how to affect your physical body through your emotions, thoughts, and the state of your mind.

Having a daughter has made me realize how important this piece is and I know she'll learn by observing me. I want her to be as emotionally healthy as she is physically healthy. And maybe I'll be able to help others with this once I figure out this for myself!

If there's any topics you're particularly interested, let me know! I may know a little something, or at least have another thing to research :)
