Do You Love Yourself?
Stop having to be right, correcting others, giving advice without being asked, complaining, or telling people what they "should" be doing. Take a breath, look in the mirror, and say, I love you. Say that every day until it becomes a natural part of your repertoire to respect your boundaries, your body, and your mental health. Allow others the dignity to respect theirs.

Are You Nice or Are You Kind?
Are You Nice or Are You Kind? There are a few key benchmarks that help to determine which category you fall under. Admittedly, it’s not always easy to unravel your motivations, or you may be oblivious to the behaviours, or just plain in denial about what you are contributing to relationships. Sometimes, people want to be seen as nice, even if it hurts them.

From Food To Sex - Meditation Makes if Better
I practice and teach MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) Meditation. There are numerous scientific studies proving the benefits of a meditation practice that feeds your mind, body, and soul, lifting you to the nether regions of enlightenment. But really, don’t you just want a simple, go-to reason, that makes you want to ohm the night away, fire up your chakras, and get your kundalini rising?

Words Matter - 5 Superpowers That Build Confidence, Character, and Courage in Relationships
You CAN do it! Love yourself first. It is vital, no, imperative, that you take care of your own needs; emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental. We get caught in a trap of being “nice”, so others will like us. Your body is an ecosystem in itself that needs balanced love and attention. When you do this, you contribute in a meaningful and loving way to others, that have their own ecosystem to take care of. It’s okay to say no when a part of you needs quiet time. It’s okay to ask for a hug when needed. Reciprocity is key to a sustainable relationship. It allows others to just be, without taking it personally, and powerfully, they will do the same for you. Be courageous: ask for what you want. Be clear and specific. When you honour your needs, you model behaviour that allows your friends and partners to foster theirs. We each have our own work. Know where the boundaries begin and end.

Stop Shoulding On Me - 5 Tips To Keep Your Energy Safe
There are people walking the planet thinking that they know what is best for others. Shocking information! They are chronically giving unsolicited advice. They have ALL the answers to every topic, even if they have no basis in fact. They will decide on your career path and doing business the “right” way, aka their way, with no wiggle room for nuances and gaping discrepancies in values, and ethics. They will tell you how to fix your love life, relationships with your family, your career, and your health. There’s just one problem - NOBODY ASKED!

Frenemies - 5 Reasons To Let Go And Move On
Frenemies – 5 Reasons to Let Go and Move On Frenemies – (friends, lovers, co-workers) - we all have them to one degree or another. You know - the ones that basque in your success by association or steal an idea and then take credit for it in front of you. They can be sweet as sugar in your presence and tell a tale of lies and deceit when your back is turned for a millisecond. To move forward and be successful (I mean happiness), you must, must, must, rid these people from your repertoire of “friends” to create the magical space that will be your life experiences, your joy, and your newfound freedom.

Banyan Tree Park - The Things You Learn In A Meditation
As a Meditation Teacher and Practitioner, I pick up a few things here and there. I hope what I share inspires you to seek the answers to your questions about why life unfolds the way it does, how you can change your path any time you want to, and realize with all the tragedy, heartbreak, pain and suffering, that it’s still a beautiful world, where miracles happen every day if we are open to the experiences, and the messages whispering in our ear.

My Story - Why I Became a Medical Intuitive
Many people have asked me how I got into the intuitive work that I do. This is My Story. A strong intuition is something I have had my whole life. I remember as a small child just knowing and seeing what others didn't. I never dared to share with my family or friends the things I knew, as I was afraid of being weird or odd. In hindsight, I would have loved to discover how the intuition all worked decades before I did. The world would have made so much more sense to me if I had a mentor to tell me I wasn’t imagining things, or making them up, or being too sensitive (a label I carried into adulthood). How do I explain to my grade two teacher when she chastised me for daydreaming, telling me what a "horrible" child I was, that I was seeing angels floating and dancing around my deceased brother outside the classroom window?
