If you’ve ever visited me at home, you’ll know I adore a good cup of tea. There’s nothing like curling up with a book and a warm cuppa, and I love how each variety of tea has a completely unique flavour profile, healing purpose and soul of its own. I recently discovered that just as…

This morning while I was journalling, so much good material on getting in flow, finding joy and magnetizing success came through. I don’t know how much of it was made up by my subconscious and how much of it was actually channeled, but either way, it helped me get into alignment instantly. If you’d like…

Do you ever have those days (or weeks, or months) when everything seems to be going wrong? You feel like you’re moving through molasses, and everything is sticky and forced. You aren’t in a good mood, your thoughts are out of control, and nothing is flowing. You’re in a state of resistance to the universe,…

I once read a great book by John C. Parkin called Fuck It – Do What You Love. I absolutely loved John’s message of freeing ourselves from the “shoulds” and “musts” in life by using the F Word, and I still refer back to the book’s wisdom, especially on days like today, when I’m putting…

People say that getting what you want is the hardest part of the manifestation process. I disagree: I think the hardest part of achieving the life of your dreams is figuring out what the heck you want to manifest in the first place. We all want basically the same things: money, health, fulfillment, love. But…

The ego is a wily fox. It will do anything it can to sabotage your growth, bring you down, and make you fret about everything and anything. If you’re not familiar with the term “ego,” it basically refers to that fearful voice in your head that wants to keep you safe at all costs. We…

The weather in Toronto has been absolutely dreary this weekend: insane winds, a non-stop snowstorm, cold, slush—the works. When the weather has me down, I rely even more heavily on things like exercise, music and aromatherapy to lift my spirits and keep my mood elevated. Scent is one of our most powerful senses for influencing…

Every single thing you give your attention to changes you in some way. Reading books cover to cover can require a lot of attention and focus (especially in the digital age), but I believe it’s one of the best ways to tap into your inner world, change your beliefs, and adopt a new perspective. Books…

When I enrolled in my 200-hour yoga teacher training program two years ago, I didn’t put much thought into it. I knew I wanted to study yoga, so I did some research on the best programs in Toronto, called Downward Dog Yoga Centre, and as fate would have it, the program was starting that day—within…

Last week, I wrote about my recent efforts to use healthier, more eco-friendly products, and I reviewed my favourite natural mouth care products. This week, I’m overhauling my shampoo, conditioner and body wash, doing away with anything toxic or chemical-laden, and trying out some natural shower products I feel much better about. For as long…

Yesterday, I was listening to Jess Lively’s podcast about the law of attraction, and it got me thinking about thoughts. Sound like a brain twister? Stick with me here. On the show, Jess and her guest, Brooke Castillo, were discussing thoughts and emotions, and whether our minds influence our feelings, or vice versa. Brooke suggested that…

When I first saw people doing reformer Pilates, I thought the machines looked more like torture devices than exercise tools. Granted, they can look intimidating to a beginner, but I’m so glad I pushed past my initial discomfort to give it a try. First things first: what the heck is reformer Pilates? I’m sure most…

Everyone is inherently creative. It’s in our blood as spiritual souls, and we came here to manifest beautiful creations. If you identify as a creative soul, I’m willing to bet that you’re also super sensitive, and you feel things more deeply than the average person. You may be fearful of your creations, or how they…

The other day, I listened to an amazing podcast by Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra about healing and the mind-body connection. Deepak talked about how our bodies have the ability to create the exact chemicals and molecules we need for relaxation, dealing with pain, or healing from illness, but we have grown accustomed to relying…

Do you consider yourself an extrovert, an introvert or an ambivert (a mix of both)? Personally, I think all of these labels are totally limiting, and I don’t really believe in any of them. We’re complex human beings with a zillion different thoughts, emotions, and motivations all vibrating at different frequencies, and yet, we all…
