Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is a huge piece of the puzzle in keeping myself and my family healthy. We started on a natural health journey a little over ten years ago when my oldest child was born and we haven’t looked back since. Since then we’ve switched everything in our home to a nontoxic solution and learned about better ways to support our physical and emotional health. It’s now become my passion to help people do the same thing!

Want to know why I love using aromatherapy? Listed below are ways that essential oils work to benefit us…

  • they reach each every cell in your body within 20 minutes when applied topically
  • help eliminate toxins in your body
  • help support the different systems of the body: digestive, nervous, muscular, and more
  • promote cellular regeneration
  • pass through the blood-brain barrier
  • work on emotions via the limbic system of your brain
  • promote healthy emotional wellness and relax and clear the mind
  • transport nutrients
  • powerful antioxidants
  • remove toxins in the air
  • promote healthy, breathable air
  • a great alternative to chemical or toxic fragrances

But you have to be wise with where you get your oils. You won’t get these therapeutic benefits from a generic essential oil found at the supermarket. Those oils are typically adulterated with synthetics and alcohol. As a result they won’t work as effectively as a pure essential oil and you could possibly be putting yourself and your family at risk for toxic exposure. It’s important to do your research not only so you can get results but so you can stay safe!

Being trained as an Herbalist and then becoming internationally certified as an Aromatherapist means that quality is a huge factor for me in deciding what natural products to put on our bodies and to use in our home. Young Living is a brand that I have researched and trust. They go to great lengths to make sure you are getting some of the purest and most effective essential oils out there. Everything from using non GMO seeds to hand weeding their fields so they don’t have to use chemical weed killers ensures a superior product.

I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Match I celebrated St Patrick’s Day with an iced Matcha latte…just kidding I make one everyday! But it did feel a little bit more festive today. ☘️ Matcha is full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties and an amino acid called L-theanine that helps to reduce anxiety. It also gives me an energy boost without the jitters! 

Iced Matcha Latte 
• 1 tsp Matcha green tea
• 1 cup milk of choice
• 1 cup ice
• 1-2 tsp honey
• sprinkle of cinnamon (personal preference) 

Add Matcha to a small bowl and pour warm water over it. Whisk to remove clumps. Pour into a glass with milk and ice. Add honey and cinnamon. Enjoy and Happy St Paddy’s Day! 🌈
Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and w Lately I’ve been meditating on what art is and what being an artist means. I’ve concluded that art is everywhere, from keeping a home, baking bread to working with plants. Artists aren’t just those who paint or write but those that make the world more beautiful in whatever capacity they can. Would you agree? #mondaymotivation

Sprinkle with sea salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. I’ve been loving @acidleague Strawberry Rose Living vinegar on my spring salads lately! 😋

Just peel off the outer cover and you’ll find a little seed pod inside. The seeds can be bitter so either boil or roast them. I’ve heard that they’re good mixed into mashed potatoes! What wild edible food have you tried lately?
