P.s. We love you and you are ENOUGH!

Our bodies are sacred. They are literally the vessels in which we carry EVERYTHING. Our hopes, dreams, emotions, and health all reside in our human shaped container. 

This makes it pretty important to be sure that anything we expose our bodies to should nurture and support all that we are. 

We love hosting events, and one of our favorites to date was our Holistic Mixology class. We loved it so much that we wanted to share some pieces of it with you! 

Holistic Mixology refers to combining ingredients that work synergistically to create delicious elixirs! We broke these ingredients into 3 groups:

1. Essential Oils
2. Herbs
3. Superfoods 

​Lastly, we always feel it's necessary to kick it up a notch by adding in some superfoods! ​

Almost 3 years ago, Cera found a brand that is doing it SO right! After attending a convention held by Purium Health Products, she wanted to be part of their mission! 

Below you will find the recipe to one of our favorite elixirs from our holistic mixology class and a $50 gift card for you to use towards any of our superfood supplements, including the White American Ginseng Extract in this elixir. 

Shinrin Yoku, or the sacred practice of forest bathing, refers to the "interconnectedness of the forest and being fully engulfed in the abundance that surrounds you." (Julia Plevin)

We came across Rise Gatherings while doing our retreat partnership outreach. The more we read about the incredible healing and empowerment offerings they were providing, the more we wanted to connect. 

After a couple of conversations, we were hooked! Forest bathing would now become part of the healing that we practiced and the healing that we offered. 

Tami recently held space with us on Instagram Live and led us through a forest bath meditation. While some might laugh at the term "forest bath" and call it "just a walk in the woods," I urge you to ask yourself, when is the last time you entered the forest and completely connected with all of your senses?

Our bodies are always trying to maintain balance, and there are certain things that may disrupt our body's ability to do so. Things such as stress, poor nutrition, or trauma can cause the body to feel stuck or backed up.

Grounding or earthing, is a form of balancing that helps us achieve homeostasis in the body. Negative ions from the earth balance out the positively charged human body, and create a sense of peace and calm. You can soak in these negative ions by putting your hands or feet directly on the grass or soil. Negative ions can also be absorbed through concrete, just so long as you don't have rubber soled shoes on, you can absorb these benefits daily!

but it doesn't have to be! Working with a coach gives you the tools, support, and connection to make the changes that are necessary for your health and wellness.

We don't believe in a "one size fits all" or a "one answer solves all" approach to health and wellness. 

Harmonize Your Health was built on the root principle of harmony. 

What does it mean to be in harmony? We recognize it in songs, or the way birds sing to one another, but how often do we consider the harmony inside our bodies? Or in relation to the world around us? 

In order to be in harmony with our bodies and our environment, we must tap into all of our senses, look at the entire essence of our being, and be open to and ready for evolution. As we tune in to our bodies and get more comfortable with change,  we can start to be at peace and to heal.

The definition of homeostasis is to be in a "relatively stable state of equilibrium or a tendency toward such a state between the different but interdependent elements or groups of elements of an organism, population, or group" (Merriam-Webster).

Our personal healing journeys, though vastly different, stem from a similar root: disconnection from our bodies. We both experienced inflammation in our bodies, but the inflammation expressed itself in different ways. Cera battled severe cystic acne, while Carrie lost over 150 lbs in her early 20s and currently lives with chronic pain and fatigue. 

These were the symptoms that we had no idea how to control, until we learned that what we put in, on, and around our bodies affects their ability to be centered and balanced. 

This means everything our bodies go through:

• what we eat
• what we think
• what we smell 
• what we absorb; mentally through information and physically through our skin.

In order to achieve homeostasis, we must be conscious of all our senses. 

We would love to connect with you more about how mindfulness and presence can change your relationship to your overall health and well being.

Our services and events offer more than just learning how and why eating plant-based can heal, it’s about compassion for all and our influence on the world around us. You play such an important role in the health of our community and environment. It is time to fully tap into this!

Toxins are a huge part of why many people don’t feel their best on a day-to-day basis. 
Toxins are manmade and natural substances that are harmful to various biological processes. Toxins affect us, our pets, plant life, animals, and our water.

There are three basic exposure pathways: inhalation, ingestion, & skin contact.

We tend to focus on the food element (WE LOVE FOOD) of exposure, but your environment and the products you use are just as important.
​
Non-organic ingredients are grown by using large amounts of pesticides, many of which have not been tested for their affects on the human body. Believe it or not although PCBs were banned in the 70s, they are still found in our natural environment and foods, like dark leafy greens, today! 

With the build up of so many different toxins in our environments, it is more important than ever to be proactive and protect yourself.

How can you do this?

• Question everything. 

Start by going through your pantry and reading the ingredients. Is it organic? Does it have any added sugars or oils? Can you pronounce all of the ingredients on the label? On fresh produce, read the stickers, how far did your produce travel? The longer the distance, the less nutritional value it has. Using tools such as the Dirty Dozen list will help you navigate specific produce to stay away from, especially non-organic!

• Listen to your body

Your body is an instrument for cleaning out toxins. The problem is, we have become so overloaded that it is hard to identify our red flags anymore! Some red flags that your system is overloaded include acne, headaches, body aches, bloating, or rashes. If you are experiencing these symptoms, and you want to learn more on our top strategies for healing the body, watch our free Masterclass, Your Body Can Heal Itself.

• Intentional cleansing

Just as we shower the dirt off the outside of our bodies, we must intentionally choose ingredients to help us cleanse the dirt on the inside of our bodies. The best way to do this is to include super-foods such as sea vegetables and rich sources of antioxidants. We recommend a quarterly reset cleanse. 

Your body has the power to heal, as long as you give it the tools it needs!
