New Blog Post: Dry Brushing: Not Just Another Health Gimmick (LINK IN BIO 👆👆👆) . After the holiday frenzy of parties and over indulgence many of us are detoxing and taking better care of our bodies this month. I'm personally doing the Whole 30 for the first time (day 15!) More on this later! One of my favorite simple self care techniques to do is dry brushing, especially when detoxing. . . Dry Brushing is an age old beauty and health technique used to stimulate the lymph canals to drain toxic matter into colon, thereby purifying the entire lymph system. It's easy to do, feels great and leaves you feeling invigorated! . . To learn more about dry brushing, the history, benefits, and how to do it check out my new post!

Enjoying all the beautiful snow up in the Catskill Mountains today 💙 . . New Blog Post: Slowing Down & Filling Up: Winter & The Water Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine.(LINK IN BIO👆👆👆) . . Winter corresponds to the water element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Winter is the most yin season of the five elements: water energy is slow, tranquil and deep. Winter is the time to slow it down a little, rest, reflect and regain your strength. This doesn't mean you can't have fun! Enjoy all winter activities like sledding, skiing, snowboarding! Long brisk winter walks, iceskating etc. Just remember to ALSO allow time to regroup, have some time alone to connect with yourself and your inner world. ❄💙❄ . . I love this quote from The Institute of Five-Element Acupuncture. "Instead of trying to pack every moment of your life with activity and striving and exertion, water demands that you cool down and fill up the space that you are already in." . .
