Here is a short video that explains how to ethically and properly use facebook tags. This prevents spam and also makes us seem less desperate and unprofessional on facebook. Enjoy and let’s all support ethical and conscious use of technology!
YES! Today’s Living Spirit video is very powerful. A direct opportunity to connect with nature. I invite you to tune in to the sounds of the earth, the birds, and the voice within!
As you enter into the holiday season, ask yourself if you have trouble feeling the spirit of everyone around you (even your family members who drive you crazy!).
Check out the video for some light philosophy and perhaps you can tune in to some deeper spirit from here on :-)

Body Image
Although I do not typically make videos for teens, I was asked to make an empowerment video for young women for "The Juice Network" and thought BODY IMAGE would be the best thing to focus on.
Women are subjected to non-stop images of perfection, both on and off screen, and its about time to focus on what really matters. Movement, feelin good in our skin, choosing self-love, being present, eating well, etc.... these are all little things we can do to improve our body image. It just takes the f...

My winter solstice was spent creating a spiral labyrinth of light with Sarah, Ophena, some friends, and other community members with the sweet sounds of voice and cello in the background. This evening seemed like one divine, magical moment after the other. I am not completely sure what it was all about; I just know there was an awakening of sorts...some movement into the soul and true conscious presence.

My friend I met at some council training wrote this beautiful piece below after we shared some time together on an Ojai overlook. It speaks for itself and I just wanted to share it with all of you. If you are interested in her new blog she started, please visit http://tribetonic.wordpress.com/ and thanks for reading! :-)
Sometimes ancestral wisdom drops in through a gentle conversation on a mountaintop. This weekend I went to the Ojai Foundation in Ojai ... Continue reading ...

Law of Attraction
Many of my clients have asked me why affirmations don't work. They seem to work a very small percentage of the time, with a very small percentage of the people. This is not only due to the infrequency with which people repeat the affirmations, but also due to how our brains work and how we create habits and beliefs.
Please watch below for more information and how to work with affirmations in a more successful way!

Often women I speak with are quickly moving into their purpose. Their eyes and ears are in constant motion...connecting, networking, "computering," designing, etc...
But what is happening to your BODY, your physical vessel during all of this?
It is important to set physical goals for ourselves while manifesting our dreams. Not only because it keeps the body active and healthy, but also because it creates the opportunity for empowerment and pride. These qualities are so important when steppin... Continue reading ...
I wanted to share a brief story about my client, who sent me an inspirational message the other day!
She and I were brainstorming some website names and nothing seemed perfect. I had sent her a few more names and told her to sit with the names and see what resonates, or feels intuitively right for her nature-based art company she is starting. I told her that when she has a name picked out, place it in a hat or jar with her other top two or three picks and then pull one. Generally the univer... Continue reading ...

Live Your Purpose
I had the opportunity to attend my second level of training in the process of council this weekend. There was so much magic in it. It is both quiet and loud, it involves listening and speaking, it speaks to the light and the dark, and more than anything else, it speaks to my heart and draws me in like a sweet singing siren (without the bad ending ;-)
Please watch the two videos below where I introduce the amazing land where the class took place and share some brief thoughts! I know that as ... Continue reading ...
I wanted to make a video the other day about the idea of self-worth. So many of the people who reach out to me for coaching create the internal message that they are not "worth" the investment. If we continue this internal dialogue, we keep ourselves in the same stagnant pond we are trying to get out of.
I have been there.
I understand the hesitation to invest in something that is not a guarantee.
But if your intuition tells you "YES!" there is no better time than in that moment to invest in y...
