I’m back after a two-week trip to Iquitos, Peru where I had the opportunity to study herbal medicine with a group of Shipibo Shamen.

Are you quick to anger or someone who keeps things bottled up? Are you naturally lean and muscular or is your body more curvy and rounded? Do you come alive in […]

The benefits of exercising throughout your pregnancy are plentiful. Not only can it help to limit weight gain, but mid-intensity work-outs, such as Pilates, have been shown to ease symptoms of pregnancy (i.e. back pain, morning sickness, fatigue), help shorten the labor, and reduce the time it takes to get your body to bounce back […]
