photo-1640869112846-2e5ae0d1b807

***This is an essay on fear, inspired by a very scary experience I had. I wrote it initially for me, and then realized I should share with others. **

Fear is the greatest THIEF of life.

The experience from a past hurt, disappointment or threat that we are bringing into the present and projecting into the future…

So…what I see in my clients and experience myself is this oscillation between being “unproductive” and then experiencing a surge of Guilt, Pa…

You may be wondering why all of a sudden I am so passionate about holistic healing, essential oils, hemp oil, and so committed about whole food nutrition?

It may sound surprising to some of you, and you may even wonder what has caused this shift in our practice, so I wanted to share the big “WHY” behind it.
