In today’s ever-evolving health landscape, one powerful concept is gaining ground: the freedom to choose. Whether you're exploring preventive care, navigating chronic health concerns, or simply seeking a more balanced life, having the ability to decide how you care for your body, mind, and spirit is essential. For many, this means turning toward holistic wellness—an approach that honors the whole person and offers natural, integrative pathways to healing and vitality.

Camping always resets the mind. Last weekend, I escaped the buzz of screens for the crackle of a campfire. It was basic: a fire ring, cool dirt, the sound of a creek, trees breathing in the wind, no notifications, no distractions. But there was one unexpected neighbor: a red ant colony. This ant colony showed me what focus and determination mean. This was a great business lesson!

These days, simply existing can feel like running a marathon while juggling flaming swords. Between endless phone notifications, unpredictable world events, and, well, life in general, our nervous systems are pushed to the max. We spend more time in a stressed response, versus being relaxed and at rest. The good news? You don’t need to escape to a silent retreat or go on an eat, pray, love journey to get a sense of calm and clarity. The body is wise. And it comes equipped with built-in tools to help you reset your nervous system—tools that are free, gentle, and surprisingly effective when practiced consistently. Here are five of my favorite ways to soothe your nervous system, returning it to a parasympathetic state—no yoga mat, voyage to the Himalayas, or fancy device required. Just simple, practical actions.

Are you having trouble staying in a positive state of mind when challenging circumstances present themselves? The Universal Laws state: so without, so within. Everything is a mirror. We cannot change the reflection, but we can change the origin (ourselves), and then automatically, the reflection changes. Here are five steps that can help you cultivate not only a positive mindset, but also the feeling state necessary for the positive Law of Attraction. The more you focus on bringing awareness to accepting and loving yourself, the more your inner beauty and harmony is reflected in your outer circumstances.

The special knack of meditation is to develop the one who pays attention, the watcher. When we do a simple sitting meditation, we sit comfortably with our eyes closed and just begin to watch the energies that move within us all the time: thoughts, sensations, emotions. We develop the knack of simply watching these distractions go by with a feeling of friendly acceptance. How do we acquire this knack? We begin by being a witness to the mind, by becoming separate from the mind.

Jake's story: a real-life example When Jake’s alarm clock buzzed at 7 a.m., he knew something just wasn’t right when felt tingling across his arm. He scratched, but the itch only intensified. He flipped on the bathroom light and saw a bright red rash spreading across his skin. His mind started whirling with possibilities of what it could be: a bug bite, something he touched, something he was allergic to? Jake's first instinct was to call in sick, but he knew they had deadlines to meet and he didn't want to let his team down. Desperate for the itching to stop, he remembered his company's new virtual healthcare service. With a few taps on his phone, he was connected to a doctor.

Have you ever tried to "think positive" or "push through" a business challenge, only to feel stuck, exhausted, or overwhelmed? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs focus on mindset shifts—reframing thoughts, setting intentions, and using affirmations—only to find that their old patterns keep creeping back in. The truth is, your mindset alone isn’t always the issue. Sometimes, the real problem lies deeper—in your nervous system. If your body perceives business growth as a threat (even subconsciously), no amount of willpower or mindset work will override it. So, how do you know if your business blocks are mental or biological? And more importantly, how do you work with your body instead of against it?

As a holistic practitioner, your work is centered around healing, well-being, and balance—whether it’s through nutrition, acupuncture, massage therapy, herbal medicine, or energy work. You help others find harmony in their bodies and minds, but have you considered how financial wellness fits into that equation? Many holistic practitioners focus deeply on their craft but overlook the importance of financial security. The truth is, financial wellness is just as essential as physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Without a strong financial foundation, stress and uncertainty can undermine your ability to serve clients effectively.

I have found that my clients need to identify and break through their mental and emotional barriers, so they can create a life that aligns with their goals and values.

Energy is a hot topic these days. Not like it was in the 70’s when we had to line up for gasoline, but much closer to home, so to speak.
Today, we are more focused on our own internal energy, the subtle energies around us, and also how much physical energy we have to get us through our day! Unfortunately, western medicine is ill-equipped to help us with any of these. And yet, our energy matters. It is of vital importance in our lives.
So what steps can we take to properly assess and then enhance our energy?

The skin itself is a multi-functioning, living, breathing organ. It has its own immune system, its own hormones, its own microbiome. It's intelligent and it's vast. The skin is the largest organ on the outside of the body, literally protecting all of our internal organs, systems and bones. It is truly our first line of defense, and works so hard for us, every single day. There are many factors that can drastically affect how the skin is functioning. As a holistic esthetician and someone who has overcome chronic psoriasis naturally, understanding my own daily habits was a major factor in my own healing journey.

To grasp the depth of the statement "Love is life and life is love," we must first explore our individual truth about love. Love is a concept that has been defined in various ways — ranging from biblical interpretations to modern-day perspectives. For instance, Wikipedia describes love as "a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit, the deepest interpersonal affection, to the simplest pleasure." The dictionary also defines love as both a noun — an intense feeling of deep affection or a great interest or pleasure, and a verb— to feel deep affection for someone or to greatly enjoy something.
For me, love is more than just an emotion or feeling; it is the energy, force, or frequency that created all that is. I call it Intelligent Love, a concept I learned from Dr. Joe Dispenza, a researcher, lecturer, and New York Times best-selling author known for his work on the mind-body connection and the impact of meditation on health and well-being. In my eyes, love is the Creator or what many call God.

We are living in a fast-paced environment. Our lives are going fast, our internet is high-speed and even our cars are faster. We are programmed to want fast results or instant gratification and so many individuals find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities, often at the cost of their mental wellness. They put everyone and everything before themselves. Empowerment coaching can be a transformative resource to help people build confidence, resilience, and a sense of control. With a customized approach, empowerment coaching provides a supportive framework for creating healthy habits, healthy behaviors and developing skills that enhance your overall emotional well-being.

The holiday season is often depicted as a time of togetherness, joy, and family closeness. For many, however, this narrative intensifies feelings of loss and grief, especially for those who are estranged from family members.
Estrangement from family can be complex, painful, and multifaceted, especially when the disconnect is permanent or indefinitely unresolved. When a person feels disconnected from their family, they might wrestle with deep feelings of sadness, anger, or betrayal — emotions that often surge during the holiday season. Examining this topic from a therapeutic lens can provide insight into understanding, validating, and ultimately supporting individuals as they navigate these challenges.

If you’re thinking of taking up a personal yoga practice, it can seem intimidating at first. Any research into yoga studios in your area probably brought up classes for Vinyasa, Hatha, Ashtanga, Bikram, Iyengar, Gentle, Restorative, Yin, Kundalini, Power, etc.
You then ask yourself, which one should I choose? Will any even work for me? What if I’m a beginner? What if I’m not thin or “flexible”? What if I had rotator cuff surgery?
In this article, I’ll give you three key factors to think about so that you can make an educated decision as to where to start and not put yourself in a position that could lead to injury.

In this article we’ll cover the basics of energy healing, how this powerful therapy works, how it pairs with other health care to help you achieve lifelong health, and how to use this holistic therapy in your own life.

Gratitude is the foundation of abundance. It is the cornerstone of living a purposeful, rewarding, joy-filled life. Gratitude activates the positive Law of Attraction vibrations.
If there are people in your life that you don’t like, the negative energy vibrations you transmit towards them drag down your positive vibes and you end up lower down on the “vibes scale” than you want to be.

"We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality," says novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch. It's a thought-provoking statement, especially considering how often the world around us challenges our perception. Optical illusions are a perfect example of this—they play tricks on our vision, making us question what we see and how we interpret it.

Have you considered all the ways that the world has changed since March of 2020 and some of the good that has resulted from those early, crazy days?
Now, on the other side, it is easier to see the benefits of change. More is available from the comfort of home -- No parking hassles! No traffic! The ability to meet with people from all over the world! Even better, one of the changes to come out of these past few years is that MORE people are looking for holistic approaches to health and wellness, MORE people are open and looking for members like you, who offer products and services for overall wellness and with no negative side effects.

 This year, cancer hit too close to home... again. Twenty years ago, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a double mastectomy and moved forward with no chemo or radiation. For her, it was a good move and she has been cancer-free ever since. This year, according to the American Cancer Society, about 340,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed among US women, and more than 43,000 women will die from it. Two of my closest friends are among those who were diagnosed, and it's Breast Cancer Awareness month.

Some people assume that complementary, integrative therapies are not covered by insurance... And I'm here to tell you that some insurance companies do cover these techniques. Holistic health approaches include psychological and/or physical wellness specialties such as spinal manipulation (i.e. chiropractic), acupuncture, massage or counseling. Some insurance companies cover these, depending on the type of policy you have. Here's how you find out whether a specific holistic health product or service is covered by your insurance.

 A consumer called in the other day... As a Chamber of Commerce, this happens when people are looking for a particular type of wellness provider or someone who offers a specific product or service. With our "holistic" designation, we attract consumers looking for acupuncturists, chiropractors, hypnotherapists, nutrition and lifestyle coaches, craniosacral therapists, yoga instructors, reiki masters, meditation and mindfulness teachers, and a multitude of other specialties that are recognized as integrative, functional, complementary or alternative medicine. In this case, she's in Virginia and was looking for a massage therapist specializing in lymphatic massage for her friend in Florida who has Breast Cancer. She wanted a referral to someone trustworthy and skilled that she could pass along.

Here are points to consider as you make your decision.

 I suppose I shouldn't be surprised about this diagnosis. It's one my mother received about 20 years ago when she was my age now. At the beginning of 2022, a lump was found and tested. Since then, I've had one surgery and am looking at one more. And it has me circling back to the BIG vision of what can happen when we come together in one umbrella professional organization for the holistic marketplace. Picture this... Imagine that when you, or anyone, walks into a hospital, they see essential oils...

 How do you leverage the power of connections and collaborations to expand your reach as a holistic professional or business owner? Whether you own your own business or work for someone else, partnerships are a powerful way to expand your reach to new customers, clients or patients AND power up your presence in the marketplace. What would the world, and our businesses, be like if we viewed everyone as a partner? When we view everyone as a partner, we are more likely to treat people with respect and consideration. From there, we are well-positioned to create partnerships that go beyond the status quo.

 When you think of a successful business leader, some attributes that usually come to mind are resilient, collaborative, resourceful, patient, controlled, innovative and a host of other positive characteristics. However, most people would not associate Aikido as having anything to do with these leadership qualities. That’s where they are wrong. Aikido, the art of the Samurai, is a Japanese martial art and has been recognized by top educators, business leadership groups and was even featured on Forbes, “Study Aikido to Become a Better Business Leader.” A Samurai spends a lifetime devoted to his cause and is always practicing to improve his skill. As an Aikidoka (one who practices Aikido) in life and in business. I have been fortunate enough to have studied under a great Aikido master, Gentil Pennewaert Shihan for the past twenty years at Newport Beach Aikido. Through the years, I have found myself applying the principles of Aikido as a business leader. I often tell my clients that I have graduated from the University of Aikido.

No doubt about it, we’re living in a new world… especially when it comes to networking. Gone are the days of 'in person only' networking. Say "hello world!" with online options at the Holistic Chamber of Commerce (HCC) and several other organizations. Now, we are using social media and Zoom for the majority of our networking opportunities. Ironically, while we are connected to more people all over, some of us feel less connected overall. What works for networking today? While most of your networking may be online these days, the keys are the same for BOTH online AND in-person networking. Whether you are an introvert or an extrovert, there are some core elements to keep in mind. The reality is that the first step to amplifying your voice is connecting with others.

If you want to sign up more customers, clients and/or patients, this is the one for you! Do you feel like you are putting yourself out there but can't figure out why people haven't signed up yet? There are two critical keys to make sure your marketing works well! 1. When people are looking for the product/service/event that you offer, will they find you? 2. When they find you, will they know how to sign up? Sure, your website offers a free gift in exchange for their email address... But what if someone is ready to buy now? What if they don't want to get on another email list? And do you even send emails to those who do sign up for your free gift? The Mindful Marketer knows that, to help people, you have to make it easy for them to buy. Sometimes, you first have to help people know why they want to buy. Sometimes, they are ready and they just need your number (or email) or an easy-to-see " click here" " sign up now" button, and make sure that your links work).

 For years, I rolled my eyes when people said, "Just be thankful and you will start receiving what you seek." Really? As if! Of course, once I learned to be grateful for the richness of my life and the rewards of having a business that allows me to do what I love (talk about holistic approaches to health, lifestyle and business), it was clear that they are right.

 We all experience stress and anxiety on occasion (some of us more than others), but there are situations in our life that can raise our stress levels, in such as a divorce, death of a loved one, challenges at work or a job loss, unexpected health diagnoses or simply doing too much and trying to be superhuman day in day out. Often, we might turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with our emotions, such as drinking, smoking, avoiding exercise, overworking or overeating unhealthy comfort foods or sugary treats. During this global COVID-19 condition where our everyday lives are disrupted, we can also feel a sense of ongoing anxiety from the unknowingness of what the future holds for ourselves and our loved ones. While we can recognize lives aren’t always predictable, we can still take our health and wellness into our own hands and a few simple steps to manage our mindset to get through times of uncertainty, overwhelming stress and anxiety.

 Do you have a project in mind? How about one that is still on your to-do list or has been sitting in the back of your mind for a while? Today is the day! Start it your way! Starting new (or old) projects is much like planting a seed for a tree. You may wish you had done it years ago so it would already be fully grown and flourishing. If you didn't, for whatever reason, plant your seed and start your project today.
