Flowers are an amazing culmination of nature, beauty, scent, and health! They can be a gorgeous reminder that life is beautiful and beam with fertility. Throughout human history flowers have been a symbol of life itself and a reminder to think outside of ourselves. They have also been a natural source of vitality, potent medicine, and therapy.

Sadly our modern era of technology, busy lives, and our stepping away from day-to-day nature has made us lose some of the wisdom our ancestors had about flowers and their powers. Lotus Wei is bringing back the wisdom and power for all of humanity to relearn. Read More
We are bombarded constantly with reminders to feed our physical bodies with healthy and nutritious food. As important as those reminders are, we need to be mindful of what we are feeding our brains. Many of my clients experience anxieties, worries, fear and stress in their daily lives stemming from the negative things that happen in our society and experiences.

Much like secondhand smoke, whining and complaining comes at a cost and can affect stress hormone levels, job performance, job satisfaction, and our interpersonal relationships. Stress hormones can harm neural networks involved in cognition and problem solving abilities. It has been found that the less a person complains the more likely they are to be happier, satisfied, and feel productive. Doing a complaining fast can be a very beneficial thing for all of us.

However, like any habit, the more we increase our awareness of our habit, the easier it becomes to change that habit. Read More

Brain and body work can help to release these traumas from our tissues. Working out our past traumas and setting free our tissues can help us to get rid of stresses and pains that have plagued us.
