Self Nurturing during the Holidays

How to be Resilient in the Face of Change. Change is a part of life and as humans we either embrace it or fear it. For some of us, change means getting out of our comfort zone or maybe loosing something we had before. It also might mean something exciting is to come and we just haven’t learned how to breathe into yet. We need to un push the pause button. Covid times is our biggest experience in which we are all dealing with both personal and collective change. Many have lost businesses, jobs, health insurance, loved ones, their familiar routine, but some have bought houses, some are moving out of state, some are starting new businesses and on some level we are all changing inside, deepening our relationship to self through more self - care, our standards may be shifting, relationships are changing, or we are able to carve out more family time. What keeps me going when I am grieving a loss of something I have been so familiar with is the belief, faith and hope that the universe is conspiring to make my vision a reality. Having trust in myself and my purpose. I trust that no matter what we will all be ok. I see the change as a teacher and an opportunity for growth and expansion. And it is a mirror to our next level of healing or service to others. We are all going deeper right now and really shifting on many areas of personal development and I feel like I am a catalyst for that change and transformation for the clientele I seek to find me. It may be scary at first, this idea of change, as we hold on to many beliefs and behaviors that give us a sense of love, comfort and belonging. But I can promise you that those beliefs/behaviors are our allies, and the more we flow and build on our ability to love and care for ourselves, we start to initiate new beliefs and behaviors as we step into a new version of ourselves something that has existed already, we just didn’t know it. Letting go of a space that was my practice and identity for 8 years, was a bittersweet experience and a myriad of physical and mental emotions, but I have done it once before so I know I can do it again. Change. It is not a goodbye. It is a reinvention, an expansion, a new offering. And perhaps the change is needed for my clients. Life brings to us new people and new situations for many reasons.

I get asked a lot by my clients about what they can do to enhance their lymphatic health in the interim of sessions. Ladies, your in luck, as there is a wonderful tool and self-care regimen called Dry Brushing. Your probably familiar with the basic bath brush that has a wooden handle that people use in the shower to exfoliate their skin. Well this is the same idea, but with the intention of stimulating the lymphatic system. Dry Brushing is becoming a popular trend, as women are now seeing the importance of rejuvenating the skin’s dermis by clearing out toxins as a way to maintain health and beauty. It is the same idea when we exfoliate the face to clean of impurities after a cleanser and toner. Dry brushing for the body is a way we can exfoliate the whole body and help reduce stagnancy and inflammation from our very delicate lymph vessel system. We have many vital organs that are responsible for detox including the liver, kidneys, skin and colon. The skin being the largest. Stimulating the lymphatic system through dry brushing helps remove dead skin cell and makes the skin smoother. It helps to improve circulation, reduce stress and provides a relaxing way to connect with a very essential process of the body in removing metabolic wastes. Whether for health maintenance, reducing water in the body, reducing the appearance of cellulite, lymphatic dry brushing feels good and makes your skin look great. Our lymph system has no pump and transports lymph via tiny vessels called a lymphangion. These tiny vessels create natural contractions or peristalsis of the smooth muscle which influences lymphangion motoricity. Exercise, rebound jumping, diaphragmatic breathing are also wonderful ways to get the lymph system to circulate.
