LADIES This is the final call for the January start date of The Stress Less Method. You have been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked.

Ladies! Listen up! Having a 5-10 minute shower is not self care, that’s basic human hygiene. Going to the bathroom alone is not self care. Exercise/Movement is a functional necessity ... Eating well and spending time on food prep isn’t a luxury Laying down/sleeping more isn’t being lazy Taking 30-60 minutes to yourself daily isn’t selfish Investing in yourself and your health isn’t an expense You are worthy of taking care of yourself. You are the most important thing in your life. When you invest, support and nourish yourself, you will feel invincible and badass and can take care of everyone/everything that is important in your life. The past year was a tough one, and it doesn't seem to be getting any easier. This is the perfect reason why you need to invest in yourself. This Saturday we will be hosting a FREE Masterclass. We will be sharing details about our FREE Dry-January Challenge, how to get your hands on our FREE guide, how to participate in our FREE challenge and why the heck you would want to join us in this crazy idea! Coming into January can feel like the longest and most mentally challenging month of the year. Diet culture is totally preying on this mindset. So let us help you get set up for success.

Holy Hannah! Today’s the day! It’s been a long journey, and a lot of hard work, but we get to welcome 4 new women into our group program, The Stress Less Method.... In 4 months, we will help these women reshape their relationship with food, exercise, and with themselves. This program was designed to help women shift their mindset so they can stress less about what to eat and how to move their body, so they can finally lose the stubborn weight. This program is like no other out there. We specifically work on mindset shifts so women actually learn how to navigate life, even when the days get tough. We use specific protocols with diet, supplements and movement, to shift the needle in the right direction. No fad diets, no gimmicks, no weight loss pills. Just good old fashioned hard work, support, community, understanding and a solid plan of action. Want more info? Next round begins February 1st! Get on the waitlist to learn more https://nataliepurchase.click/optin1595417868931

Let’s talk about goals and motivation. Having goals helps us set our course. It gives us something to work toward. ... Motivation is what excites us to want to make change. However, motivation is fleeting, especially when life gets in the way. The all or nothing mindset sets us up to fail from the beginning. The New Year is right around the corner, and with it brings promise of new. The new program, the new way, the new plan. If the answer was another meal plan, if the answer was another diet or fitness program, don’t you think you would have reached your goals by now? Intention, inspiration, support & education are what help you to move forward from where you are. That foundation helps you to understand your goal, how to navigate getting there, and the ever evolving world around you. Having people in your corner, helping you achieve your goal by helping you to set your intention, to keep inspiring you, supporting you when the going gets tough and educating you as to what’s going on inside your body and mind, will actually help you to yield results. I set an intention for myself, to move my body daily. Some days I surpass my goal, some days I don’t. My intention helps me come back to my why. Tonight was no different. It was cold and dark, but I dressed accordingly, had a podcast going, and walked my loop. No weights, no step counting, no calorie counting, no sweat sesh. This is for my stress levels, this is to connect me to the outdoors and fresh air, this is to do something for me daily that makes me happy and is just for me. Do you want to learn how to do more of what makes your heart, mind & soul happy? To remove the diet & exercise mentality? To explore your resistance and learn how to navigate hard days? The Stress Less Method begins January 4th. We have room for 1 more woman who is ready to finally make this change. Schedule your FREE Discovery Call here -> https://nataliepurchase.janeapp.com/

When we work together, it’s never my intention to take away all the food you love! Instead, we work on the balance that works for YOUR life! Instead, we dive deep into WHY you want or need or crave certain foods!... We educate you on YOUR body, what it’s telling you, the signals, the signs, and you learn how to navigate this crazy thing called life! Ladies, the year is almost over If you want to move into the next year with the intention of learning how to support and nourish your body and shifting your mindset for ultimate happiness and success, schedule your FREE Discovery Call NOW! We begin the Stress Less Method January 4th! Are you ready? https://nataliepurchase.janeapp.com/

I had a few great 2020 memories, but one of the best parts of 2020 was when @the.mindful.woman jumped on board and brought #thestresslessmethod to a whole new level! How fortunate am I to be able to work with one of my favourite humans AND help women learn to love and nourish themselves?! I have always called this lady my PIC (partner in crime) and one of my BFF’s, and now we get to be business partners! I am so grateful for what she does for me in my personal life, and... what she has brought to our program. Her ability to help women achieve self love, self compassion, heal their relationship with food, with themselves and rewrite their story is absolutely incredible, all while she is raising 2 wee babies! Ladies, if you have yet to be introduced to Stephanie, you need to head on over to @the.mindful.woman and if you’re curious about what we have been up to, follow the link to find out what it’s all about https://linktr.ee/nataliepurchasewellness See more

In Previous years, I've always run a holiday food drive. This year is no different! If you have an upcoming appointment, I encourage you to bring in a non-perishable food item for donation.... If you're able to donate: Consider items you and your family like to eat. Consider items that are school safe for children. Consider items that are full of nutrient rich vitamins and minerals to help growing bodies. Consider items that are personal hygiene or personal care products and toothbrushes Consider items for children If you're unable to bring in any items in the next couple weeks, our local Pharmasave and IDA in Uxbridge are accepting donations as well as our local groceries stores also have pre-done donation bags for donation. Spread a little extra holiday cheer this year, we all need it. Ps. My family and I would like to help a special family who could use a little extra holiday cheer this year. If you know of anyone who requires a lovely holiday meal and maybe gifts for children, please reach out to me private message, as we would love to give back to our community and support a family during this time. If you'd like to help us give a family a wonderful Christmas, please reach out as well and I will provide you with more details. Sending you all warm hugs (virtually and distant of course)

It’s the end of what most had hoped to be the year Expectations and goals were definitely high. I can’t say that 2021 will be better, and I can’t say it will be worse. @the.mindful.woman says it perfectly though, So far you have survived every single one of your hard days.... So here’s to all the lessons learned and hard days navigated, the days all alone and the joy shared when spent with those you love most. Here’s to a new year and new possibilities and a chance for you to do what sets your soul on fire. Here’s to health and joy and the relationships we hold dear. I wish you all the best and a happy new year. #goodbye2020 #2021 #heathandwellness #womenshealth #happyhormones #womenshormones #womenhelpingwomen #uxbridgeontario #uxbridgeon #durhamregion #uxbridgemoms #newyear See more

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This view is absolutely beautiful to me Now, what do you see when you look in the mirror? Are you as receptive to the beauty looking back at you? How compassionate are you with yourself? ... With your goals? Have you ever approached goals with compassion and love? How about with patience because you had a plan in place that you were certain would yield results? When you learn to love yourself, when you erase the idea that things will change in 30-days, when you shift your mindset to a place of love and acceptance, and you have a plan to nourish your body, learn to move in a way that supports you and show yourself compassion, we can learn to healing our body and finally reach a place of happiness and success. The Stress Less Method was designed to help you learn how to heal your relationship with yourself. To help you shift your mindset around diet culture. To help you learn how to nourish and move your body in a way that makes you feel good. Are you ready to make the leap? The Stress Less Method is only open to 5 women!

Have you been pooping well? Most holidays bring over eating, over indulging in treats and bevies, not enough fibre or water drinking. Whether you were able to celebrate with family and friends or not, the treats and alcohol can still make it into your home.... The problem with not having proper bowel movements is that your body isn’t properly eliminating all the toxins floating around which can contribute to weight gain, imbalanced hormones, acne, PMS, and the list goes on!! So how can you ensure you’re eliminating properly? Aim for at least 2L of water daily (or more) Aim for 7-13 servings of veggies & fruit daily (this works out to be the size of your palm) Move your body daily! Working out or movements such as walking & yoga help the intestines to move matter through. You don’t need a New Years resolution or another fad diet, we need to consistently master areas like this to ensure your foundation is sound. The Stress Less Method teaches you how to shift your mindset so you can stress less about what to eat and how to move your body for ultimate success! https://nataliepurchase.click/optin1595417868931

Let’s talk a minute about the number on the scale. In a perfect world I would sit about 20 pounds lighter. What does that number represent? It makes me think that if I were to be 20 pounds lighter that I would look amazing in my clothes, that I would feel incredible in my skin, that I would look at myself differently, and that I wouldn’t feel restricted in my jeans.... But here’s an interesting thought... when I was 20 pounds lighter, I felt like crap! I didn’t feel good in my jeans, in fact I most definitely had a muffin top! I didn’t feel incredible in my skin! And every time I looked in the mirror, I didn’t like what I saw. I noticed ALL the flaws, soft spots and areas I wish I could change. Here’s the difference, I move my body, I breathe deeper, I enjoy more without guilt, I love eating salads and healthy meals, I choose what I want to nourish and eat daily. I’m in control. I changed the size I wore to make me feel confident and look good in my clothing, and I healed from my past so when I look in the mirror, I now love what I see. The number on the scale doesn’t determine your health or your worth, it’s 1 factor to help you determine if you’re moving in the right direction, and in my case, moving away from the number I thought was healthy was the best decision I made. I choose to be fit and eat food and love myself, instead of obsessing about a number I thought would solve all my problems. Do you want to shift your mindset, finally heal the relationship you have with food and exercise, and stress less about your diet? We are accepting applicants for The Stress Less Method!

The women I see in my daily practice are the ones who are exhausted to the core. They are the ones who, when I ask, what do you do for YOU? They respond by saying nothing. They are the ones who, when asked, what brings you joy? They respond with, I don’t know.... The women I see say yes to everything when they really want to say no. They are the ones over working, over giving and overly stressed. The women I see in my practice have turned to self-destructive ways of trying to get their needs met such as overeating, staying up too late just to have time to themselves, they are unwinding from the day with a glass (or 2) of wine, they are over caffeinating to just make it through the day, they are eating in the run or forgetting to eat all together. They are so scatter brained and drained, and eventually fall into bed, to be woken up by the ongoing to-do list middle of the night. The women I see in my practice are stressed The women I see in my practice are exhausted The women I see are looking for permission answers and a different approach The Stress Less Method was designed for these women.

I was struggling, hhhhaaaarrrddd! I told myself time and time again: I don’t have the time to invest in myself I don’t have the money to pay for the program, for the accessories, for the supplements, for the coaching, etc. etc. etc.... I don’t have the energy or the bandwidth to mentally take on something new, prep lavish meals, or anything else that was involved I was done. I was exhausted at my core. I just kept repeating, I just need to stop snacking at night, and then the weight will come off I just need to burn ‘X’ amount of calories a day, and the weight will come off I just need to eat less carbs and the weight will come off My stress fuelled my weight gain, my cravings and my mood swings. It fuelled my ongoing body image issues and the hate that began to grow every time I looked in the mirror. I kept reinforcing the belief that all the above strategies would work. I kept reinforcing the idea that I could do it alone. Does this sound like anyone else? The Stress Less Method was created because of my own experiences, my journey, and the strategies I used to overcome this. It takes re-learning how to talk to and care for your body. We aren’t really taught how to take care of this body and we are only given one in a lifetime! Are you ready to learn how to love and care for the only body you will ever have? Are you ready to get off the wagon for good? Ask yourself, what do you have to lose if you invest in yourself?

Let the holiday fun commence! This year may look a little different from previous years, but I can’t help but feel the holiday joy everywhere, and the snow sure does help . To help all my lovely friends keep up with their health and wellness goals, while still enjoying the holiday spirit, I’ve put together 20 of my favourite holiday treats & recipes and over 20 cozy, one-pan meals! ... These recipes are simple, nutritionally dense using a whole-food approach without having you spend hours in the kitchen.

This woman next to me crushes all the obstacles in her path. 4 months postpartum and running her first ever 10km! There is always going to be something standing in your way of achieving your goals and reaching success. ... I can tell you, It’s not willpower or motivation! Motivation is great to get you excited to reach a new goal. But what happens when the motivation drops and it’s just you, standing there, amongst the difficult? How many times have you been on and off the wagon? How many mondays have you restarted? How many times have you google searched different weight loss methods and diets? How many times have you succeeded to only end up back where you were? It takes understanding what the body wants and needs, and being educated, encouraged and supported when the going gets tough. It takes coming back, time and time again, to the goal, to keep the light glimmering at the end of the tunnel. How hard was it to get through school? To learn a new skill? To have/raise babies? To figure out something new and to actually succeed? To run your first race? You can succeed and hit your goals! You just have to understand what your body is trying to tell you!

Yesterday I ran the @towaterfront42k I was 5 mins slower than my fastest half marathon time but the fact that I didn’t train for this one, and let’s be honest, it’s been one hell of a year, I’m pretty dang proud that I still went out and did it. The first 16k felt great. I fuelled properly with @skratchlabs chews & hydration mix, and paced properly with what felt good for my body.... By the 18th km it was a slog to finish, no spectators, no family waiting, just the mantra I can do tough things. I’m happy I did this, it’s a reminder that no matter what life throws my way, I know I can get through tough situations. #towaterfront42k #skratchlabs #racedayfuel #icandotoughthings #toughasamother #momsthatrun #womenshealth #holisticnutritionist #registeredmassagetherapist #uxbridgeontario

Already thinking ahead to dinner. I have always enjoyed cooking. My problem became that I didn’t really like some of the healthier recipes out there so I started to just make swaps with the recipes I could find and just hope for the best with my swaps! ... I tired out this crispy ginger chicken last week, and it was a hit! Even with all my swaps and healthier take on it! Eating healthier, eating cleaner, doesn’t have to be complicated. Begin by making little swaps like, less sugar in the muffin recipe. Swap the flour from a bleached white flour to a spelt (or something else). Try adding chia seeds or try amount up the nutritional value. Most of the time it’s going to work, but sometimes it won’t, and that’s how you will learn to develop better skills in the kitchen. What’s on the menu for dinner tonight?

Veg it up! One of my recommendations to all my ladies is to ensure you are having plenty of veggies at EVERY meal! Breakfast, lunch and dinner, we need healthy fibre from plants! They ensure you are satiated and help to clean the colon. Let’s see a photo of the veggies with your dinner! Share below

It’s slow cooker season We only have 24 hours in a day, and this is one of the ways I ensure I can spend more time doing the things I want instead of spending hours in the kitchen cooking nutritious meals. I’d love to know, what’s your favourite slow cooker or instant pot recipe? Share below

Can we all be as happy as she is while she eats this cupcake? No guilt! No reservations! Just plain, 'ol happiness!... Diet culture has us shaming ourselves if we indulge. We are told that if we eat the treat we have to earn it or burn it off. And yes, exercise helps us achieve our physical health goals, and it's important for muscle health, heart health, balancing blood sugar, balancing hormones, and the list goes on, but it should never be used as punishment! So, if you want the cookie, the cupcake, the ice cream, have it! Just be mindful. Just don't do it daily. Understand WHY you want it, WHY you are craving it. Honour and empower yourself vs. shaming yourself.

Why should you put yourself on the top of your list? Why should your physical, mental and emotional health be your top priority? Why should you ensure you are taken care of first?... Because you're worth it! #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth #womenshormones #happyhormones #uxbridgeontario #uxbridgeon #durhamregion #uxbridgenutritionist

Most days I feel like a Hot Mess. I could live in my leggings and baggy shirts so I feel comfortable and supported, and so the muffin top doesn't hang over the jeans. There are days the coffee goes down like water, and the water bottle barely get's touched. There are days I choose the convenience food over the salad and eat way too much than I should. There are days I eat the chips and chocolate and binge watch Netflix.... But this isn't my daily life now. There was a time I was lost in this cycle, and this was my daily reality. Now this just happens on off days or days I'm overwhelmed and stressed. 5 years ago I was struggling to keep my head above water. I was in survival mode, complete fight or flight. And it took me having a real hard look in the mirror and knowing this wasn't what I wanted. I knew I wanted more from my body and from my life. I wanted to be more, I wanted to be healthy, strong and be around for my kids. So I got to work, and did some serious self love, self care and support for my body and my mind. Crawling out from that place took time, but in that time I was able to create my program, The Stress-Less Method. The Stress Less Method was developed from my own experiences, to help women stress-less about what to eat, how to move their body, and where to begin. It's was developed as a step by step guide full of support and community, so women never feel lost or confused. If you'd like to learn more about how this program can help you stress-less about diet, lifestyle, movement, exercise, self care and how to achieve your health and wellness goals, then it's time to schedule your FREE call.

Are you making progress? Are you implementing the right steps and strategies to propel you forward to achieving your goals? You know you have to start somewhere.... You know you have to eat well, move your body, drink the water and get enough sleep. But you feel like you're not making progress.. You feel like you're stuck... The needle isn't moving in the right direction... So what do you do? Does having a strategic plan set in place, with where to begin and exactly what to do, sound like a good place to start? What about having one-on-one coaching? What about accountability and community support? Could you see yourself succeeding then? The Stress-Less Method was designed to provide a stress free approach with support, guidance, and a plan with clear guidelines on what needs to be done and when, plus one on one consulting and weekly coaching!

SO. MUCH. YES! There are many times I talk to women about their body image, and how much they despise what they see in the mirror. Despite all the love that surrounds them from their family and their friends, they just can't see what other's see. They just can't feel what other's feel. It breaks my heart that as women, we can give all the love, support and positive talks to others, but we can't find the positive vocabulary when it comes to ourselves.... Part of my mission is to help women feel their best. So what I want you to do today is to think of 1 amazing thing your body did for you today, I want you to think of 1 amazing thing you love about your body, and 1 amazing thing you want to aspire to do with your body. Sending you all some love today #womensupportingwomen #womenhelpingwomen #womenshealth #womenshormones #happyhormones #uxbridgeontario #uxbridgeon #uxbridgedaily #durhamregion #holisticnutrition #holisticnutritionist #uxbridgenutritionist

Can we just pause for a minute and really think about what it is we want. What do we want from our body? What is our goal? ... I had to release the idea of a certain weight or a certain look, and start thinking of my overall health. It became so important to me to feel strong in my skin and support my body so it could be healthy and keep me here on this earth with the ones I love. My goal became being strong AF! Mentally & physically! It’s great to have goals, of wanting to shed some weight for your overall health, if that’s what you feel is best. But can we just get away from what we feel we NEED to be? That we NEED to be a size 2 or that we NEED to be a goal weight of XYZ? Can we please just start to release this obsession with our self worth and our weight and just start being happy for all the things our body can do for us? This mindset shift takes time and it helps when you have someone cheering you on. Inside The Stress Less Method, you get one on one coaching with me to support all of your individual needs for success. You get me cheering you on every step of the way. We work toward that goal of health and wellness and helping you support your body so it can be it’s best for you!

Let that go! This subject always gets people, but the reality is, just like your skin and your menstrual cycle, your will tell you so much about what’s going on in your body. Some questions I ask are:... how often do you go? If it’s not 1-2 times, daily, then your body is holding onto toxins and hormones that are being reabsorbed back into the body and contributing to a slew of symptoms is your formed and firm or loose? Loose is indicative that you aren’t absorbing or that it’s moving through you too quickly. This can also happen if you have coffee first thing and rely on it to get things moving. We want to aim for firm and formed to ensure proper transit time and proper absorption of key nutrients. is it long or broken? And do you feel satisfied after you ? Some women will need to go multiple times to feel they have fully void, but the truth is, there might not be enough fibre, liquid or other dietary issues happening to create a proper movement. Did you know your position on the toilet can also affect how well you void?! If we are not voiding correctly or in the proper position, then we can create strain on the bowels causing things like hemorrhoids. Your can tell you a lot, this is just a few basics that you can check in with. There was a study done around weight loss and I you not! Your bathroom habits can also be inhibiting your weight loss and overall immune health. So let’s well! And if you aren’t, begin with these top suggestions: drink plenty of water eat plenty of plants for fibre use a stool or sqautty potty to elevate your knees while on the toilet (this helps with less strain) get moving! Movement will assist with the large intestine to contract and move that out If you’re already doing all of these and still having issues, there could be underlying food intolerances, imbalance in supplements or improper meal timing.

Years ago, in an attempt to rid the home of unwanted chemicals and hormone disruptors (I was also dealing with hormonal imbalances) We decided to switch to natural air deodorizers, natural cleaning agents and natural hygiene products. As I dove deeper into this new world I started using essential oils for our laundry and even topically with some of my clients. ... These 3 oils are just a few of my fave scents to diffuse to freshen the air. If you’re interested in learning more, send me a DM! If you’d like to order yourself some oils, check out the link https://myyl.com/nataliepurchase #theresanoilforthat #healthiving #cleanliving #womensupportingwomen #entrepreneurlife #holisticnutritionist #massagetherapist #uxbridgeontario #uxbridgeontario #durhamregion

I’ve been MIA for a bit. It’s not because I forgot about you all. I learned a long time ago that I can’t do it all, and taking a break is necessary. Breaks from the kids, the spouse, the house, the work, everything. I needed a break, a chance to clear my thoughts and get clear on my path and what I want to bring to you all. ... I literally spent 2 days reading a book, cover to cover. Nothing to do with health, personal growth, kids or anything of the sort! There is this word out there called balance and everyone strives for this. However, there is no such thing as balance. It’s more of a juggling act, and there is always a ball dropping somewhere; self care, workouts, diet, social life, relationships, kids, etc. Energy goes where energy flows- and there is only so much you can actually do in a day. Sometimes this is spending time cleaning the house, sometimes is tackling items on the to-do list, sometimes is fitting in a workout, sometimes is making a wholesome meal, but attempting to do it all is almost impossible, because there is one area that isn’t getting your attention. And. That’s. Totally. Ok! I have spent years chasing this so called balance, but once I realized it was more of a juggle, I seemed to relax a bit. And I began sharing this message with women who were also struggling- struggling to do it all, fit in the good food and the workouts, to have the energy to also tackle the rest of the list. When I created the Stress Less Method, it was literally to help women stress less! Stress less about what to eat, how to eat, how to workout, how to feel less overwhelmed about wanting to do better by their health but to stop the diet train. Stress, the juggle, everything is going to come in waves, we just have to learn how to ride them. Are you ready to move forward? Are you ready to find your groove? To stress less about what to eat, how to move your body, what supplements to take? What about gaining more energy to do the things you love or to keep up with the kids? The Stress Less method begins September 14th, and is only open to women on the wait list. Get on the Waitlist now by following the link in my bio

Setbacks will always happen. Life gets in the way. The to-do list is too long. You’re exhausted from the kids.... You’re stressed out. You’re injured. I’ve been there all those things, all those excuses. I’ve said each of these, I’ve battled with these, and I’ve also overcome these. Yes, there are times I fall back into bad habits, but when you have a healthy foundation and drive to want to do better, it’s easier to pick yourself up again, dust off those shoulders, and keep on going. I’ve had so many bumps, bruises and setbacks and I have many of the scars to prove it. But I keep on getting back up, and I keep going forward. It’s the only way to go. Never go back, never look back, the past has happened, and we know that story all too well. If you’re ready to move forward, if you’re ready to make real changes, if you’re ready to say F*ck the past, and say YES to the future, I want you to join me for my FREE master class!

1 year ago today I had surgery to remove a lump from my neck. * * It had been growing since late October 2018. ... It took months of doctor visits and convincing that there was something wrong, and then I finally saw a specialist who ensured me this was actually normal but should be removed. His diagnosis was a Thyroglossal Ducts Cysts. 30% of the population have an extra piece of skin that connects their tongue to their thyroid, called a thyroglossal duct. 15% of those end up forming benign cysts. Only 1% are cancer. * * A week later I would find out that mine was cancerous. * * I have spent this past year working on self improvement; my mental, physical and emotional health. I’ve taken on added challenges and have set audacious goals. If I’m given one life to live, I’m going to live it to the fullest. * * Here’s to living your best life! #liveyourbestlife #fuckcancer #healthyliving #womenshealth #happyhormones #holisticnutritionist #uxbridgenutritionist #uxbridgemoms #uxbridgeontario #durhamregion

My WHY began 12 years ago when I knew something was not right in my body. I had no energy despite being only 22 years old. * * My journey for better health and wanting the best for my body has constantly evolved, more so after having kids. ... Postpartum anxiety hit me like a ton of bricks, and it’s been a journey to climb out from underneath its grasp and find a balance. * * As a mom, it’s tough; You want to be there ALL the time and do ALL the things but there are limitations on your energy and bandwidth. But this shouldn’t be your daily life! Being exhausted, daily, struggling to get through the days, wanting to go to bed even though you just woke up! This isn’t normal even though we have normalized this feeling. * * This is why I have shifted my energy toward working with moms, specifically the ones who are struggling to get through the day due to lack of energy, motivation and stress. The ones who just have too much going on and not enough focus on what their body needs. * * If you’re thinking you could benefit from my years of personal and professional experience, then check out my FREE Guide!

This has been one of our go-to’s for YEARS when it came to overall health and energy for our body. Everyone in this house gets their #juiceplus daily. I know I don’t eat AS well as I should, and I know I don’t get 13+ servings of fruits and veggies in my day, so this is my insurance policy. And the best part is, my kids get their chews for FREE!! If you’re looking for a way to up your health and fitness game, assist with your recovery, strengthen your immune system o...r just want to be healthier, it starts with what you put in and what you aren’t putting into your body on the daily.

9 years ago @pertch and I were married. It was a beautiful June day, just like today. On our tables we had orchids as our centre pieces.

Ladies! I would be lying if I said I had it all figured out. I’d be lying if I said it was easy. ... This life is tough! Raising kids is tough. Being present is tough. Wanting to do it all is tough. Feeing like you’re failing is tough! It’s not a perfect world and you don’t have to be perfect. You just have to try your best and show up for yourself even when it’s hard. And what if I told I had a method that made things a little easier? What if I told you I had a system in place to help you feel supported, felt heard, felt safe and that actually helped you to finally succeed? What if I told you that you didn’t have to stress more about what to eat, how to navigate your diet and lifestyle, and that you didn’t have to punish yourself with workouts? What if I told you that I have something that could help you jumpstart your journey, for FREE? Would you do it? if you’re staying Hell Yes!

This time at home with the kids has had its ups and downs. I’m fortunate I’ve been able to take them out to explore this wonderful town, our network of trails, and be with them to share what I absolutely love- being outdoors. ... The challenges of trying to teach them the curriculum that was handed to us, the challenges of never having a break from them, the challenges of always being on the challenges of not seeing other adults, the challenges of always being amongst a mess, were definitely getting to me. I’m fortunate for the nicer weather and spending more time outdoors, but I’m also so fortunate for the community I’ve created, of like-minded moms, who were also feeling the stress of this new norm. These moms were turning to food for comfort, staying up way too late just to have a moment to themselves, and drinking copious amounts of coffee to just get them through the day. The support I’ve been able to give them, and the purpose they have given me is unmeasurable! If you’re a mom, who is feeling the pressure and stress of this new reality, who could use the support of like minded moms and the sense of community, you are invited to join us!

Motivation comes in waves. It’s easy to get inspired and want to try something new, only to have the novelty wear off and find yourself off the wagon yet again. Motivation is important, and it’s important to follow the want and willingness to make change and evolve, but staying course when life gets in the way, or you’ve had a rough day, or you’re just not feeling 100% is when it’s best to have someone in your corner who is going to work with you to stay focused, ...provide support and motivate you to keep going. Yes, I work with motivated women. I work with women who are READY to make a shift in their life because what they are doing is not serving them, and they know it. I work with women who want to change but just not sure what needs to happen. I work with women who have fallen off the wagon too many times to count. I work with women who just don’t have the support around them to succeed. I will be your cheerleader and your support. You just have to be motivated enough to shift from where you are to where you want to go. If you’re ready, schedule your FREE discovery call to find out HOW I can help you finally succeed!

Did you know? A women’s body can fluctuate between 5 pounds at any given time? Weighing yourself daily isn’t the best form of tracking weightloss and can drive you nuts! This also speaks to the bogus fad diets out there that say you can lose 5 pounds in a week!...

Hey Momma! I see you scrolling your social media or maybe it’s time to sit down with some snacks and binge watch Netflix. But what if you don’t? ... one thing all moms complain about is being tired, so what if you just called it a day and got a little extra rest? what would happen right now if you just went to bed? If you called it a day and decided to get a couple extra hours of rest? you’d have more energy tomorrow you’d have more patience with the kids you’d drink less coffee and more water you’d make better food choices instead of just going for what’s easiest because you are exhausted so how about you do something about it? When you say you’re tired, then just go to bed
