Amplify Your Holiday Comfort + Joy

When it comes to the holidays, are you tired of:

  • feeling pulled in every direction?

  • accommodating the expectations of others?

  • arguing with loved ones when your fuse has run out?

  • having a never-ending to-do list that doesn't seem to get shorter?

  • feeling more Grinch than Rockin around the Christmas tree?

There's an all-too-familiar overwhelm that comes with holidays, one that's accepted as a natural part of the season. As the holidays peek around the corner, perhaps you wish this year you could turn down the volume on the stress-inducing things and amplify the fun and joy.

Ready or not, you may be facing the chaos already:

  • marking the calendar with holiday travel and events

  • trying to negotiate with family on gift-giving boundaries

  • making notes about gift ideas

  • making Pinterest boards of all the things you want to create or do this season to make it feel special this year

That to-do list is getting longer, the stress is starting to build. You've got family expectations, work obligations and your own sanity to manage.

Like your Ghost of Christmas Past, I see you and I’m here to help

As a health coach, it's my priority to help stop the frustrating cycles that leave you feeling depleted by focusing on how to actively prioritize the things that matter to you most.

After hearing countless exasperated stories about the holidays, I'm inspired to offer support through the holidays so you don't have to muscle your way through the chaos.

What if you could move through the holidays with enjoyment and enrichment? Let’s get you there!

Amplify Your Holiday Comfort & Joy

A holiday resilience workshop where we'll lean on your strengths and your community to make this holiday season one of comfort and joy.

What to expect:

  • A small-group, 60-minute virtual coaching session

  • Reflection prompts, introspection, and journaling

  • Optional sharing in connection with community

  • Established take-aways to carry through the season

Price Details:

  • Workshop for $25

Join this free 7-day fall self-care challenge and discover simple daily practices to help you feel grounded, rested, and nourished this season.

Monday, September 29 - Sunday, October 5

Each day, a new practice lands in your inbox to guide you through simple, soothing rituals to help you reset and align with the season. A reflection prompt will be included each day for you to consider how you might incorporate the practices in the fall season.

Summer Simplification Week:  A 7-Day Slow-Down to Make Space for Presence and Joy

to Jun 28

Summer Simplification Week: A 7-Day Slow-Down to Make Space for Presence and Joy

  • Google Calendar ICS

Ready to clear the noise to make space for a fun, enjoyable summer? Within 7 days, we’ll intentionally slow down to enable us to leap forward into summer. Here’s how it works:

Sunday, June 22 - Saturday, June 28

What The Week Entails:

For 7 days, we’ll simplify the following areas:

  • Sleep: observing the same bedtime and wake time all week

  • Nutrition: focus on whole foods and hydration (limiting processed foods, caffeine and alcohol)

  • Movement: at least 30 minutes of daily mindful movement

  • Digital detox: batching or limiting screen time where possible

  • Joy: incorporating daily mindful joyful practices

You’ll receive these resources to start, support and wrap-up your journey:

  • A kick-off questionnaire to help you plan the specifics

  • A tracker template to note your practices, progress, and reflections

  • Daily email tips, encouragement, and prompts

  • A final reflection to clarify which practice you’d like to take with you into the summer season

This is for those:

  • looking for a mindful mind/body/spirit reset.

  • wanting to take control of their own health and well-being.

  • looking to add or omit habits and routines.

  • trying to simplify their lives to enhance well-being.

This isn’t for those:

  • looking for a diet or cleanse; there are no meal plans, juices, or strict rules here, only intentional, clean nutrition.

  • hoping for a drill sergeant approach to health and well-being.

  • wanting a miracle solution, quick fix, or one-size-fits-all approach to health issues.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Sleep

Will you be dictating when to go to bed and wake up?! No, you determine the time frame that will work best for you. The kick-off questionnaire will help you establish this.

What if my schedule is different on some days and I can’t commit to the exact same bedtime every night? The key is consistency and a 30 minute window for both bedtime and wake time is ideal, for example, 10:30-11p to 6:30-7a. The practice is giving yourself grace if things don’t go as planned.

Nutrition

Is there a meal plan? Nope, just eliminating the “clutter” and eating as simply and as clean as possible this week. A good guideline is eating a variety of different colors and flavors within a day.

What if I have an event and I know there will be foods I want to enjoy that aren’t whole foods? Mindfulness and giving yourself grace is the most important. You decide what’s appropriate for you and what will feel the best for you.

MUST I give up coffee? Not if this is stressful for you. If you keep coffee, the practice can be truly enjoying the coffee and being present while you drink it. Perhaps you find you only need one, delightful cup instead of several. You’ll be prompted for your boundaries and expectations in the kick-off questionnaire too.

Movement

What type of movement is expected? Anything that you know you’ll enjoy and will stick to. The practice of carving out the time to move your body is what we’re aiming for.

What if I can only do 15-20 minutes some days or want to go longer some days? That works! Showing up every day or most days is our goal.

How intense does the movement need to be? Do I need to break a sweat every time? It can be as intense as you’d like it to be. We’ll ask about what types of activities and intensity makes sense for you in the kick-off questionnaire.

Digital Detox

How can I limit time on my phone if I have work and family members who need to get in touch with me? It’s worth thinking of which screens you use in a day and which of those are mandatory vs optional. We’ll dig into this in the kick-off survey to see what type of paring down is practical and doable given your lifestyle.

Joy

Would be great to carve out time to do something joyful everyday, but how do I fit that into my busy schedule? Just 5 minutes of mindful joyful activity can be helpful! This can be as simple as spending mindful time playing with a pet or kids, chatting with a friend, or reading for pleasure for a few minutes.

What if I’m already doing this? Well done! We’ll take a look at what joyful activities you’re already doing and then the practice becomes acknowledging the benefits it’s giving you.

Overall

Why should I do this? Taking one week out of the 52 weeks we get every year to specifically acknowledge your own habits and routines can bring a world of insight. This can help open your eyes to what can help bring more peace and clarity in your otherwise full and busy life.

What if I can’t or don’t want to commit to all of these at once? You know yourself best and if you know all at once isn’t the best approach then it’s not required. In fact, kudos for knowing this about yourself. We’ll ask about this specifically in the kick-off questionnaire.

What if I start out strong and then stop after a few days? Honestly, that’s always a possibility no matter who you are. Things come up. I encourage you to work on the final reflection regardless to see what you learned.

What does this cost? Not a cent, sweet pea!

Spring Cleaning for the Soul
Mar
19
to Apr 9

Spring Cleaning for the Soul

Spring is often a time we naturally feel inclined to shake off the stagnation of winter and freshen up our homes. This 3-week challenge allows us to do the same for our minds, bodies and spirits, by intentionally omitting or adding practices into our routines that allow space for more everyday joy. I’ll be guiding you through the process to help foster change and maximize learning. Express interest here!

March 19-April 9*

Kickoff: Meet with me for a 30-minute 1x1 wellness coaching session via Zoom before March 19 where we’ll workshop 1-2 practices that will enhance or simplify your life and make a plan for how to incorporate them into your routine.

Assess: We’ll meet again within the second week to see how it’s going and note if any shifts or adjustments are needed.

Reflect: At the end of the third week, we’ll meet to review lessons learned, what to keep doing, change, stop, or build on. In which case, you can take what you’ve learned and go on living your sweet, precious life with this new knowledge and perhaps new habits or routines.

Some examples of what you could try:

  • Adding a 1-song dance party to your morning routine

  • Reading for pleasure for 10 minutes before bed

  • Omitting or limiting news intake on certain days or times

  • Batching texts so you can be more present throughout the day

  • Walking for 10 minutes after one meal every day

  • Trying a new recipe two weeknights each week

  • Setting aside 15 minutes each day for unstructured play with your pet, kids, partner or simply on your own

    *If you’re interested, but prefer alternate dates, let me know and we’ll adjust!

Price Details:

  • $45 for three 30-minute wellness coaching sessions and email support throughout the 3-week challenge.
