20 minute Distance reiki sessions for stress management, relaxation, healing energy June 16, 2021
I am finally getting to updating my Wellness Plans. As I had mentioned in May I am focusing more on the Wellness part of my Health Coaching certificate, rather than one on one coaching sessions.

Taking a one day pause from the zero point food challenge June 11, 2021
Today, I am taking a pause from the challenge. I am experiencing some GI upset, most likely from the fat free, and sugar free food items I have been eating. I have said this before when they remove fat from foods, they have to add other things to make it taste good and these things [...]
