We forget just how often we're surrounded by toxic chemicals each day. You just have to step outside your door to catch a whiff of car fumes or wet paint.

Make your home the high water mark, a healthy and natural environment, by mixing together these few household items. Clean enough to eat.

A note on Essential Oils

Essential oils have powerful antibacterial potencies for safe and natural cleaning. I add clove oil to my bathroom cleaner which does an amazing job to ACTUALLY kill off mould (rather than just bleaching the pores, only to grow and return again).

I've found this infographic super helpful as a reference point to the ingredients and their uses. You can use the same base of: vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice and essential oils on almost anything.

All you need is spray bottle to shake up your ingredients in and your ready to go.

How coaching helps heal emotional eating

Most people I meet assume a health coach helps people lose weight and get healthy with meal plans or new diet.

But in reality, most of my clients are already health-conscious, they’re not afraid of a chia seed pudding, and they probably switched to almond mylk years ago. What they struggle with is their relationship with food and body.

What it's really like to give up dieting (for good!)

In this video, I chat with buddying coach and friend, Jess Silsby about how to let go of the safety net of 'diets' and learn to eat more intuitively. We talk about what it means to “reject the diet mentality”, what does a healthy relationship with food actually look like?

Why the next diet definitely won't work

In this audio, I chat with Shreen El Masry, Body Positive Personal Trainer, about our shared views of the problematic side of “on & off the wagon” eating and if not dieting then what? The first step to breaking the diet-binge cycle.
