I have mostly always been fascinated by the body and interested in health and wellness, and that’s largely because as a young adolescent and teenager I experienced lots of health issues that doctor’s either dismissed as normal, or diagnosed as idiopathic (meaning- they had no idea about the cause or why things were happening)!

Today I’ve decided to talk a little bit about miscarriage. Why? Let’s bring a little awareness into this small corner of our world. Let’s talk about something many women still don’t discuss to this day. I understand there are many possible reasons behind the silence- grief, shame, hurt, disbelief- whatever it may be, every woman who chooses to be quiet has her reasons.

I have been doing massage for 18 years and esthetics for 12. The lymph system was not a big piece of my education; however, the more I learn about it the more I wonder why we didn’t dive deeper into this system! Let’s jump in and explore some of the basics.

I’ve had a lot of people ask me what I think about Botox. I always struggle to answer, because while I have strong opinions about it, I don’t want people to feel judged. You’re not. As I stated already, I’m cool with it if you’re cool with it.

So no more of that. I’m putting this out into the world for anyone to read.

She used to think it was superficial to invest in appearances. Now of course, she’s singing a different tune!
