Rewilded Wellness

As parents, our primary focus is always the well-being of our children. But in a world where modern stressors, nutrient-deficient diets, and a fast-paced lifestyle have become the norm, ensuring our kids' health can feel like an uphill battle.

In this episode, I dive deep into the topic of reclaiming our children's health through a holistic approach, centered on the principles of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), mindful nutrition, and the power of love in parenting. Listen here: Reclaiming the health of our kids.

The Reality Check That Changed Everything

One of the toughest challenges we face as moms is the realization that our children might be suffering from the same burnout we are experiencing. I had a serious wake-up call when I began using HTMA to assess my family's health. My youngest son, who was emotionally reactive and hyperactive, showed a pattern that society might quickly label as ADHD.

However, through HTMA, I identified it as a 'hyperkinetic' pattern—a sign that his n...

As a single mom, the bar is often set higher for us. We don’t have the luxury of leaning on a partner to share the load, especially when it comes to nurturing and sustaining our families. The weight of making sure everyone is cared for falls squarely on our shoulders, and that’s no small task.

Moms are naturally the nurturers of the family, the glue that holds everything together. But in today’s world, we don’t live in tribes or close-knit communities anymore. We don’t have that built-in support system, whether it’s extended family or a small circle of like-minded local friends. Instead, it’s up to us to create that sense of community within our own homes, often from scratch.

When it comes to our kids, the instinct is to want to help all of them at once, especially when their needs are so apparent. But here’s the thing: when you’re trying to shore up your fami...

As Above, So Below: What My Foot Injury Taught Me About Building a Strong Foundation for Optimal Well-Being

The phrase "As above, so below" recently took on new meaning for me. It’s a reminder of the harmony that exists in nature, where what happens on one level of reality is reflected on every other level. This balance is not just external—it’s mirrored within our bodies as well. Alchemists understood this deeply, seeing the connection b...

I'm the proud mom of four sons, aged 25, 21, 19, and 17. With three of them no longer living under my roof, I've had to master the delicate balance of letting go while still being a steady support system. It's been an interesting dance—letting them make their own decisions, learn from their mistakes, and occasionally throwing out my “mom life preserver” when necessary.

Growing up in a household where functional nutrition was the norm, my boys were immersed in a lifestyle focused on health and well-being. This immersion gave them a solid foundation to build upon, yet each one still has to find their own "why" for maintaining those habits. As we all know, everyone learns differently, and many of us have to take the hard road to really understand life’s lessons.

Recently, one of my older sons has been wrestling with his own "why." He’s finally taking the initiative to implement the healthy habits he once fought me on but undoubtedly benefited from. Part of this newfound motivation...

Episode #191: Nourishing Ways to Repair & Rebuild during the 'holiday season'

*Note: this blog is simply a summary of the podcast episode 

The transition into late fall and winter can feel abrupt, especially with the diminishing light. For many, this time of year brings a rush of activities, fueled by marketing pressures that start earlier each season. Personally, I’ve stepped back from this hectic cycle, and I often marvel at how I once navigated it without losing my sense of self. Can anyone relate?

If you have kids, school is in full swing, and the holidays are just around the corner. Work often feels like a crunch to get everything done before the year ends. I’ve noticed a similar busy vibe with many of my clients lately.

This cycle of busyness is familiar, but this year feels particularly stressful with everything happening in the world—illness, global challenges, and an overarching sense of anxiety. We’re entering a busy season on t...

Welcome, fellow rewilders, to another episode where we journey back to nature. Today, we dive into the world of seasonal eating as we celebrate the Fall Equinox. 

I’ve been on a quest to reconnect with ancestral wisdom and realign my nourishment with the rhythms of nature. After a brief hiatus, spent focusing on family, clients, and much-needed rest, I’m excited to return with a new season of episodes. While past episodes have covered spring and summer, today’s all about the magic of fall.

Embracing the Fall Equinox

The Fall Equinox is a time of transition – warm days give way to chilly nights. This change calls for a shift in our diet. On those lingering sunny days, cooling foods like salads, steamed veggies, and fruits reign supreme. Hydration is key, with mineral-rich water, herbal infusions, and the occasional smoothie (yes, late summer is smooth...
