As you probably know, travel is something I value deeply. I believe it to be one of life’s greatest gifts and treasures. From a mind-body health perspective, I think exploring the world around us is one of the most nourishing things we can do; it gives us perspective, opens our minds, exposes us to different ways of living, and helps us feel more connected - to other people, to ourselves, and to the world around us. Here are my tips for prioritizing self-care and mindfulness while traveling…

While there are many similarities in how the body responds to stress vs. anxiety, they’re actually quite different.

If you know me, you know I love using natural herbs & supplements to support gut health, energy, detoxification, sleep, & skin.

Detoxing has become quite the buzzword in recent years. Your body has its own internal detoxing process with help from your liver and kidneys.

You find yourself craving more rest, more relaxation, more time to just be. Here are 5 steps to healing burnout.

We were lucky enough to get recommendations from a friend who spent several years living on this tiny, special island.

Hvar Island is a hit amongst tourists traveling to Croatia. The coast is packed with super yachts and the pathways of the old city are packed with local restaurants and cafes.

Tourists have only been visiting the Pantanal for about 10 years. It hasn’t quite made it up there in terms of popularity, but it’s growing. However, the fact that it isn’t overly touristed makes it all the more special. It’s rural. It’s nature in its rawest form. And it is absolutely magical.

The tricky thing about transformation is that you can’t always see when it’s happening, so it’s only natural for us to think that big, extreme transformations must require big, extreme efforts.

But that’s not really how transformation works. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. When you break it down, dramatic transformations are the result of small, seemingly insignificant actions that you repeat on a daily basis - also known as your daily habits.
