2025 is the year of the Earth Goddess

Wearing your wellness ~

Toxins used in clothing development (including polyester, ahem plastic!)- from fiber production to finishes and dyes - can bioaccumulate and lead to a variety of health complications, from hormone disruption to thyroid dysfunction, impaired glucose metabolism to increased risk of cancer.

Plus - even those marketed as ‘sustainable’ does not mean the clothing is non-toxic. It is a buyer-beware market!

This is why I vet brands to ensure they meet high standards for consumers’ health, so you can not only love what you wear but feel healthier in it too. Shop nature-based brands here.

Connecting with the earth ~

2025 is the year of the earth goddess. Take time outside to put your feet in the earth. Grounding, also known as earthing, is the act of putting your feet in contact with the earth - whether that be in soil, grass, or sand. This connects the body with the natural electric charge of the earth (electrons).
(check out all the benefits of earthing here).

Eating as fuel ~

Nutrition is the foundation of your health. What you eat has a direct impact on your mental and physical well-being. Your wellness routine begins with a nutrition plan, based on the biochemistry of how the body reads and metabolizes food.

Nourish yourself with this nutrition plan based on the biochemistry of the body, designed by a certified clinical nutritionist after years of compiling research and data of what really works for women to successfully achieve all of their wellness goals. Easy to download and bring from the grocery store to the kitchen!

Sleeping to heal ~

Sleep is when the body does the most healing. Shouldn’t you, then, wrap yourself in organic plant-based sheets that are infused with botanicals known for their medicinal properties?

Check out AIZOME for their bedding without any use of chemicals - no endocrine disruptors, PFAS, BPA etc. - all made out of GOTS-certified organic cotton. Their pieces are perfect for sensitive skin (and even approved for those with eczema).

They infuse their products with plants that have medicinal qualities such as indigo, madder, and sumac. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities of these herbs actually aid the body in the treatment of wounds and protect against pathogens - helping you and your loved ones to heal while you sleep.

Slowing down ~

Meditation is the key to managing stress, achieving mental clarity, gaining insights into your purpose, lowering anxiety and inflammation, and increasing empathy. Adding a 10-minute meditation right before you fall asleep or when you first wake up will help you to make each day brighter.

Another way to keep yourself in the present moment is by journaling, to keep your thoughts and emotions clear. Nature walks or stargazing are other wonderful ways to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
