I created this website as a resource for today's busy woman - you! I know, because I am you. We all hear about the importance of self-care and self love.

Anybody can set a goal and hope for the best, but a goal without a plan is just a wish. There’s one more important ingredient to add to the mix, and it’s often the trickiest one to crack: motivation.

Let’s be totally real: I love exercising to look and feel great, but apart from developing leaner muscles and toning up, one of my biggest motivations is brain training. Seriously. As a writer, I appreciate that maintaining mental sharpness and improving my memory let me enjoy a better quality of life, especially as I get older (Yes, we can say it. It’s happening to all of us every day and we can do it better).
Walking is one of the best ways to improve health, get in shape, lose weight, keep weight off, and stay in shape.

The first step? Find your WHY. Figure out why you want to exercise. Connect with your heart. How will your life improve? Will you have more energy, be slimmer, more attractive, or more successful? How will you be different from who you are today? Identify the specific reasons why you want to exercise and visualize yourself as that person.

It’s feedback from your body that what you’re doing has stopped working.”
Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting ventures in a person’s life.

Wanting to look and feel your best is natural. You will be creating memories that will last for generations to come. Starting your new life together is also a deeply spiritual and transformational event. You are on the verge of beginning a new life and new partnership. To honor this occasion, I recommend a mind-body-spirit approach.
