The reality is, over the last year many lives have been devasted by loss of health (physical, mental or emotional) or loss of financial security, OR worse…loss of loved ones. On the otherhand, many have not only survived but thrived, taking challenges and turning them into OPPORTUNITIES. Which camp are you in? Perhaps you are familiar with what Henry Ford said many years ago, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re RIGHT.” So here’s to being like the little train who said, ‘I think I can, I think I can.” I for one, believe amazing things are about to happen!

Curious about Keto?
The keto diet is hugely popular, with good reason! Keto is short for ketosis, a state where your body burns fat for energy instead of glucose (sugar). Glucose is the body’s default fuel source. However, we are equally capable of using fat for fuel and given that many of us store more fat on our bodies than we’d like, keto offers an elegant solution. While the initial appeal is weight loss, keto boasts a host of other health benefits including: balancing blood sugar, addressing insulin resistance, reducing inflammation, shutting down cravings, boosting energy, and turning your brain back on – no more forgetting where you left your keys!
Bio-Resonance Therapy for Self-Care
Focusing on self-care is an important way to maintain your overall mental and physical well-being. Bio-resonance therapy can easily be incorporated into your self-care routine. This non-invasive therapy can help to assess your general health by measuring and analyzing your body’s electrical impulses using computer technology. Essentially, our bodies regulate themselves through information exchange between our various cells. Lifestyle factors such as stress, an unhealthy diet, and a sedentary lifestyle can cause a disruption of this communication. Bio-resonance therapy can help identify and cancel out unhealthy frequency patterns to help reduce the amount of stress your body experiences.
The Benefits of Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning ‘universal life energy’ that also describes a vibrational healing practice during which a practitioner places their hands lightly on the client’s head and body. During the session, Reiki flows through the practitioner to the client. Everyone can benefit from Reiki, as it can relax muscles, still the mind, ease pain, and accelerate healing. It can help clients feel rebalanced and reduce their stress, and can also help improve sleep, breathing, digestion, mind clarity, and well-being. Reiki can be used to compliment other prescribed medical treatments to increase their benefits, allowing the body to heal.
