Life has been… let’s just say challenging since 2020 for all of us and staying healthy has fallen by the wayside for many, but not YOU. I know you’re like me and value how you feel and think and move through your days. I’m sure you’ve played and tried and tweaked your routine and tools often. Me too! Yesterday I got the hit to share what I do on a weekly basis to stay clear, light, grounded, fresh, glowing, and resilient through ALL of the things. I’ve really been loving my most recent flow and I feel you might too.
BUT, first, I just have to clear this one piece up, because it’s a profusely expressed requirement in the health world, and if you’re anything like me it can trip you up. True story – I do not focus on consistency. I am ritualistic. Meaning, I honor the spirit of something over the rigidity of it. Oddly enough (don’t tell my mind this) but it creates a level of consistency that if I had tried for would not have happened. Call it the rebel in me, but if there is no pressure or strict requirement to do the big thing, then I suddenly find it much easier and even delightful to accomplish that big thing. So you have full permission from me to drop the consistency clause and just give my rituals, weekly or daily, a try. Whatever you keep finding yourself drawn to will survive and become your ritual.
Here are the mains that I weave into my life in a ritualistic manner…
Weekly Rituals
Sauna
I am a huge fan of sauna since seeing the massive shift it had on my body, partnered with hyperbaric therapy, when I was clearing multiple heavy mold exposures. I now keep it up as a simple 40-minute session every week to keep my body clear and my detox pathways open! I have many ways I make the most of this weekly sweat to enhance its effect, like pairing specifically-timed binders and temperature breaks to ramp up my sweating capability without stressing my nervous system. I love it!
Gentle Ozone Therapy
I do a very low dose rectally and vaginally 1x a week. I am a huge proponent for at-home ozone, as in having your own generator and applying yourself. This is an empowering tool I want everyone to have in their home. It’s unbelievably easy and safe. It can be titrated up and down depending on your reason of use, so it’s great for chronic or acute symptoms. You can incorporate as a preventative 1-3 times a year or increase it up to daily for intense seasons of reset. You can transform your body if dealing with mold, chronic infection, dysbiosis, and so much. Order your own and/or book a single session with me if you want to be walked through it. This is an example of the level of work we do in my Concierge Reset.
Somatic Experiencing Therapy
I LOVE this. It’s challenging, but grounding work for me. I very very easily lose connection to my body under pressure, stress or change. I was not raised in a home that knew how to be in the body and hold presence, even under easy circumstances. I’m retraining myself. As I’ve been moving through it, it’s actually been beautiful to realize that I’ve been doing a lot of this work, just in my own way, since 2017. Right now, I’m working through an incredible training/collection that is teaching me how to go much deeper for my specific scenario, which I’ve since learned is more complicated than I realized or was willing to believe. Once a week, I go in; always learning and always growing. I highly recommend Jenna Pacelli or Janelle Nelson if you feel drawn to SE.
Sacred Day
This is a new one I’ve been honoring since the beginning of April. I’m 90+ days in and it’s been huge. I take one day a week to be quiet. To have it be just me and God. To, ideally, fully turn off my phone, disconnect from the energies of the world, and return to my own body and spirit. I actually stack the above rituals on this day and simply add in a nap, home cooking, and an inspiring film to close out the day. I cocoon and treat myself the way I want all of my clients to treat themselves. It’s the day I practice embodiment and give my all to the integration of the handful of lessons and wake-up calls that came into my heart during the week. I’m in a deep season of rebirth, so this has been absolutely essential for me.
Daily Rituals
Aloe Vera & Probiotic
I’m a HUGE proponent of whole leaf aloe vera juice (2-4 oz) upon waking, paired with a probiotic that suits my current microbiome needs. This is what has kept my digestive function and gut microbiome in a healthy, maintained state for many years. It’s also what keeps my skin hydrated, since I tend towards dry dehydrated skin. My skin took a beating from a lifetime of heavy mold exposure, so I’m continually supporting it daily. Also, hello Capricorn ascendant and stellium… skin is where everything comes is revealed for me.
Morning Water
I like to give myself a head start on my daily water consumption, because once the day gets rolling, I can get easily distracted and find myself thirsty and dehydrated by the evening. I don’t recommend pairing lots of water with food, so I do this to avoid the heavy water intake near dinner. It’s interesting because there’s something about hydrating well in the morning that keeps me aware and on top of my hydration all day long too. It’s like I turn on the reminder switch with this ritual. Anyways… I drink at least 16 oz of quality spring water first thing, and then give a little space, think 30 minutes or more, before I eat breakfast. When I want a gentle detox, some internal cooling or I need to soothe my digestive tract, I’ll add in 5 drops of chlorophyll. My skin loooooves this ritual.
Flower Essences
If you’ve been in my world for a minute, you know I’m a huge proponent of vibrational remedies, flower remedies being my daily go-to. I formulate custom remedies for all my Concierge Reset clients as a part of their support. For myself, and actually when formulating for my clients as well, I’m continually tuning into the body and asking what emotional support it needs by holding the essence bottles and doing my subconscious swing, as described in my Method. I notice SUCH a difference in my emotional stability and resilience when I take my remedy daily. I’m a big feeler and emotions are continually flowing through me, so I’m always going to be experiencing highs and lows, but bringing in the frequencies of the emotion or intention of how I want to respond to what I’m feeling really softens the edge and allows me to feel good and grounded through the rollercoaster. Again, I share more about this in my Method. I add 1-3 drops of my remedy to my daily water and sip throughout the day. Right now, my remedy holds the Bach flower essences of Gentian, Star of Bethlehem, Larch, and Centaury. I’ve been taking and documenting my personal remedy formulations since 2018.
Morning Tonic
This concoction has been another stable support for many years. I have added and subtracted its ingredients and played with it so many times. It’s quite the curation for me. I shared my recipe if you want to give the current tonic a whirl. You can also shop my stabilizing ingredients. I drink this every morning right before or with breakfast as my first nutrient touch. It provides energy, blood sugar stabilization, antioxidants, liver cleansing, moisturizing, stress reduction, and brain clarity. I very very rarely go a morning without it.
Reconnection Practice
I feel like I keep saying this, but it’s true… this one has been with me for a very long time. I think in total 8-ish years in one form or another? Ultimately, it’s a perfect combo of one very specific yoga flow I choreographed, that was inspired by a yoga practitioner that was very dear to me back around 2014, and a very personal hands-on-healing body-regenerative prayer-meets-reiki-style meditation. I know. It’s actually quite simple in practice, despite how it sounds, but I’ve also found it to be incredibly profound in its impact. I gave it the name Reconnection in 2022, I believe. It’s usually the first thing I do after brushing my teeth and taking my shot of aloe vera juice and probiotic in the morning. I also sip my morning water through it. I like to stack a lot of my daily rituals around the Reconnection. It can look a little different morning to morning, depending on what my body needs or how in tune I feel with God. Sometimes it’s more horizontal body reconnection, tuning in to my organs and their needs, and other times it’s more prayer and vertical reconnection, inviting in Divine healing and wisdom, recognizing my angels’ protective presence, and thanking God for another day of life. This is in my Method if you want to try it for yourself.
Supplements
I will never stop taking therapeutic high-potency and curated supplements. This is a foundational part of why I feel incredible. I found my perfect support system and I know how to enhance and soften it as my body needs day to day. If you want to be able to tackle whatever comes at you, it’s not just about the basics. It’s about firing on all cylinders and giving your body the tools to ramp healing, recovery, and regeneration all the way to full max. I shared a glimpse into my protocol last week, but perhaps I should give the full rundown so you all can see what I’m doing! In general, I’m always supporting digestive strength, thyroid and adrenal recovery, detox efficiency, and immune clarity as these are my areas of varying natural vulnerability. I have an incredibly sensitive body. This may not be the case for you. I set out my supplements every few days and store them in these lovely squishy silicone containers to make it easy. I don’t like to do it weekly, as I adjust my dosing often to exactly what I need in the moment. I truly believe this is like 50% of why I feel amazing physically on a daily basis. I know I could feel good and normal without them, but I want to live at my full measure each day, so I prefer to take them ;).
Subconscious Statements
These are my own take on rewiring the brain and manifestation - a very popular approach to resetting your life nowadays. I have been using them aggressively since 2023 and, well, let’s just say my life completely shifted. TBD how this all turns out, but I’ve never had a practice so dramatically clarify my perspective, deepen my connection to God, and build self respect. I didn’t start out this life with much identity or self-worth, and it’s only been in the last 7-8 years that I’ve begun to move into a more healthy and balanced view of myself. A lot of critique, confusion, shame, guilt, and fear built me. I (or really We) have been layer by layer tearing it all down and as a result my life has been in a state of slow shedding since 2017. It started with my parents, then community and culture, then close friends, then to my nearest and dearest, and finally last year in a rapid and, to be honest, shocking shift, to the love of my life. Shedding of unhealthy behaviors and perspectives, as I’ve learned, happens in cycles and with each pass of the spiral, I take my understanding deeper and deeper. A full rebirth is still very much in process. I cannot claim arrival by any means, so I won’t. What I’m going through as a result of taking this work seriously is not something I recommend lightly, but if you’re serious about living as you were created to live, not out of the mold you were pressed into and are trying to maintain, then this practice is for you. It will get you on course with God’s divine and original intention. Hopefully, you’re only a little bit off, so it’ll be gentle. I apparently needed a full phoenix situation! All this being said, coming back into my original true nature and respecting my full measure has taught me what it looks like to actually be healthy in all areas. It’s from this growth – facing increasingly challenging and painful loss over the last year – that I’ve been able to witness and literally stress-test my resilience, and it has shocked me! My newly-earned capacity has proven itself and is now at a robust depth I didn’t know I could ever possess. I have a list of these statements that are crafted and intentionally word-smithed to emotionally ignite me. I engage with them 2x daily during times that my subconscious is very soft and open. If you’re interested, I teach you how to do this in the Method and in my sessions.
Water, Brain & Nightly Walks
I’m a walker. Back in the day, I was an athlete and dancer, then I became a runner and a barre instructor, but that led to high cortisol and more stress on my body than was healthy for me at the time. I embraced yoga and walking and it dramatically improved my stress capacity and my body shape. I may soon be able to return to running again, but for now if I need to release extra energy, I power walk or dance the night away. Walking is incredibly gentle on the body, activates creativity, and invigorates the brain. I often take a midday walk to separate my morning from my afternoon, especially if I’ve been on the computer a lot. I will take my water bottle with me and sip to hydrate or I’ll go bare and give myself the single-focused activity of taking in my surroundings. These walks have always been short – a neighborhood path or just around the block for 5-10 minutes. My longer walk happens almost every night. I’ve had the blessing of living by the sea for much of my life, so I can end my day with a negative ion reset from the sea breeze. I also loooove people watching. It’s the perfect way to get out of my brain and any self-focus that’s gone on too long. I highly recommend ending your day walking at dusk or even better under the stars and moonlight. If you can, add in the subconscious statements. Saying them at this time is incredibly impactful for the unconscious brain because of the bilateral movement and energetic connection occurring with the atmosphere, stars, and moon. I feel closer to God when I am near the sea at night, so there’s the power of belief that naturally opens up my brain, making it easier to accept the statements at a deeper level. Walks along the ocean have been in my life since I could drive a car. They’re profoundly integrated into my life.
Massage with home tools morning & night
I’m a huge fan of small, regular fascia and muscle release to stay loose, relaxed, and open. To activate healthy lymph flow, especially to keep the skin clear and radiant, I use a Theracane morning and night along my spine and neck. I also love to use a gua sha tool to softly awaken the areas under my jaw and at the base of my neck. Most facial breakouts and congestion occur from backed-up lymph. I roll out my feet whenever I think about it on a lacrosse ball to break up tension. There are so many acupressure points on the feet that correspond with the rest of the body, this simple action has a systemic effect. I also like to jump, Chi swing, and rebound as well to jostle and activate movement. I’ll be honest, I haven’t done this one in a while, but I also love a good roll on a foam roller. These are all simple actions that can be done whenever they come to your mind. I just keep the tools out in the open, so they catch my attention throughout the day. An open body is a radiant body.
Clear my energy with prayer & selenite nightly
I end my day with a 3 step ritual that clears my energy body, supports overnight restoration focus, and allows me to sleep purely.
I wave a stick of selenite over my body 3x to clear my aura.
I gently massage my abdomen, focusing on my small intestine, and then my large intestine, paying special attention to my ileocecal valve and sigmoid. This helps promote movement of any stuck food, energy or toxins and a solid BM in the morning. My body can then focus on regenerative action instead of peristalsis and finalization of the day’s digestion.
I sweep my body’s energy field. I press my hands together over my head with an inhale and with an exhale sweep the hands down the body and away from each other like wings. I do this 3x and often make a proclamation like:“I clear ____ from my body”, “I release the emotions of _______”, “I cut off all energies that are not the true me and the true God”. I clear people by name or speak to the general energy I’ve taken in from the day or really just anything I want to disconnect my body from holding on to overnight. This has been hugely helpful. I used to drown in others’ energies, fears, worries, expectations, dreams, etc and couldn’t differentiate myself from them. Now I can notice the difference when it’s just me and God versus me plus others’ imprints. I get to sleep peacefully and start the next morning having soaked in the purity of my own aura and the beautiful protection of Divine energy. I often picture my angels surrounding my bed throughout the night. My bedroom and bed are deeply sacred to me.
This may seem like a lot to do in a day or week, but remember I am a lot… ;). Haha but really, I have found that most of these practices have become second nature over the many years I’ve been incorporating them. I did not start out with all of them. I built over time and slowly added more as my need or capacity grew naturally. So if you’re just beginning, please pick one or two that sound intriguing and delicious. If any sounds hard or like you “should” do them, then don’t. Do the ones that sound NICE. That’s what will keep you in it. I’m not a fan of the pain = gain mentality. It has rarely, if ever, worked for me. I have to make it enjoyable and beautiful and nurturing to build it into a sustainable ritual. You may be the same. Either way, enjoy whichever you try. I know they will reset and rebirth you as they have me. Sending love to you.
