Birthday Vaca! 


My life has been crazzyyy busy lately. Between wedding things, doctor things and just life things, my fiancé and I decided to celebrate my birthday a weekend earlier than it actually occurred this year. So last weekend he surprised me by a weekend away in Portland Maine. Neither one of us had been there before, so it was extra exciting. I am fairly good at planning vacations in general, so when he does it all by himself, he gets nervous. And this was no exception. However, he hit it out of the park! Granted it was a bit chilly, but whatever! The town was supppper cute! Little shops, cobble stone streets, brick buildings everywhere. Total charm. But the best part of all, the FOOD. There was gluten-free, grass fed everything everywhere!! I could actually eat! Our first dinner stop when we arrived was to the Sebago Brewing company. This was a stop more for him, but I was able to get a grass-fed burger, with brussels sprouts. Like seriously? At a Brewery? Damn Portland, starting out strong! It was so good. Taste was out of this world. The next day I hunted down one of THREE, yes THREE dedicated gluten free bakeries. It’s called Bam Bam Bakery. The feeling of walking in and not being limited was incredible. I could eat the entire store (if I wanted, I didn’t, I swear). I got several cookies, that were also uh-amazing!! My plan was to come back the next day and get some for the road, but when we did they were closed. Should have noticed their hours on the pamphlet Mon-Sat, which means closed Sunday. Duh. I almost cried. But that just means we’ll have to come back 🙂 but I digress. On to dinner. Dinner. Oh Dinner. We went to Vinland. A 100% gluten free, locally sourced restaurant. They serve small plates and you can choose to get 3, 4 or 5. We both chose 4. It was the most amazing dinner. Ever. The food was so fresh and delicious. Not to mention my pure joy about being able to eat it!! Sunday morning we found a good breakfast spot called Local 188. Great omelet and fantastic home fries. We shopped around a bit before heading home. It was a great weekend, full of wonderful food!! If you’ve never been, it should be on your list. Portland is very organic, gluten-free friendly and willing to accommodate! I’ll be back!

I think 90% of my clients have talked about already feeling the shift to Fall and Winter hardddd.

They are worried about seasonal depression coming back with a vengeance, feeling sad summer is gone and so many other things.

I know when so many feel the same way, you might too.
I know I feel this way too.

I’m working with them to put habits in place NOW that will support them through the winter months.

Here are 2 small shifts we talked about this week:

1. Get sunlight into your eyeballs as soon as you can in the morning.☀️☀️

Ideally this is outside, there will be many science bro’s out there telling you that anything else “doesn’t count” but I say that’s BS.
Yes, the sunlight will have a greater impact if you’re viewing outside, but even if you’re behind a window it will do something.

2. Move your body!! 💃🏃‍♀️

The change in seasons to colder weather makes it super easy to hibernate and move wayyy less than we were in the summer.
I know I’ve been guilty of that this week and it’s showing in my sleep.
But moving our bodies can be so helpful for regulating so many things in our bodies.
Ideally you’re moving in the morning, but again- any time of day will do. 

These are 2 small shifts that can make it easier for your body to transition to, and live with the Winter months.

Let’s crowdsource… what else helps you in winter?? 
I know there are many other things that can!!

I think I’ve said this in every group I’ve run and with every client I meet with.

(A gross oversimplification disclaimer)
But this: 
people pleasing, being all or nothing, perfectionist (I could go on) 

Is (part of) why we got MS.

These patterns we play out each day are the hardest thing to change- and they also keep us with high stress, high MS symptoms and feeling like crap in our bodies.

Changing these patterns takes awareness, focus and support- all of which you get in Holistically Healing MS.

•If you want the ability to say NO when you’d usually just say yes.. (stop overriding yourself)
•If you want to be ok with putting your needs first (cause I know you’re not lol)
•If you want to finally feel like you’re good enough and doing enough (cause you are)

Join us in HHMS. Along with lifestyle strategies, we go process the emotional burden all those patterns have- which helps to move through them.

Comment HHMS below and I’ll send you the link.

At some point you have to start trusting the things you’re doing will help and stop jumping to a new thing each week.

Giving up gluten one week?
Then dairy the next?
Maybe jumping into an exercise class a week later?

At some point you gotta pick 1-3 things and stick with them long enough to give them time to make changes in your body!!

Not just a day or week either.

Yes change can happen fast, but usually not that fast. You need to stick with things for long enough to see if they’ll help.

Often you give up before it has a chance to shift anything.

If you’ve been bouncing from thing to thing, throwing random things at the wall and hoping they stick, hoping something will move the needle an inch so you feel even a little bit better.. 

My course Holistically Healing MS is for you.

This is the place to find what works for you, to decrease your MS symptoms.
