Good morning my pretties 😘
.
Who else out there is completely in love with their morning java? I certainly am, it's that thing that makes me hop out of bed in the morning and prance to the stove and get that moka pot brewing. If you're going to drink coffee, drink the good stuff and limit yourself to 1-2 cups in the morning.
.
While coffee is an excellent antioxidant and chock full of health benefits (not as much as green tea but still mentionable), too much is not a good thing. Over-caffeinating can cause your skin to feel dry and appear dull. Not to mention consuming it too late in the day can cause sleep issues, further damaging the appearance of your skin. .
It's also important to make sure the coffee you're consuming on a regular basis isn't laden with pesticides and chemicals. Choose organic whenever possible.

Happy coffee drinking! ☕️

Happy International Day of Yoga! And Summer Solstice...what a day 🤓☀️🙌🏻
.
I got into yoga about 15 years ago but didn't truly understand how much it could benefit my life until a little over a year ago. Yoga is one of those things where you really have to feel it to believe it and getting to that point where the real transformations happen takes a ton of hours, a lot of sweat and tears and some great yoga teachers/mentors. I have a lot to thank this practice for. A lot.

So often I see patients, particularly those with acne, cleansing with products that not only strip the skin of oils but also cause redness and a worsening of inflammation. Ideally I find cleansing with a water-free product system is the best and there are a number of options out there to check out. If you're going to be using a face wash that requires rinsing with water afterwards, find one that's gentle enough so it won't strip your skin of oils and leave your face feeling tight and dry - as in one that's free of alcohol and harsh chemicals. Hydration and products that reduce redness are key for most skin issues. I personally prefer to use an oil-based cleanser for this purpose. 💦

Getting into an inversion is half the battle. Holding it is the other. This is the part that requires the most focus and is where the real challenge lies 🙃. How long can you hold a headstand?!

I do what I do because I wanted to share my personal journey with others. I see transformations in other people's lives with mind-body medicine here on social media and it inspires me to explore my own consciousness. .
Because I'm inspired so much by the people here in this online community, I wanted to be able to give back and do the same for others on a larger scale than what I'm able to do in my naturopathic medical practice. I believe mind-body medicine is a fundamental part of personal growth and development and is key for not only improving our own lives but the lives of those around us. .
I'm here because I want to inspire and motivate others to work on themselves, because we all deserve to lead fulfilling, meaningful lives. We all deserve to step into being that person we know is within ourselves, once we remove the roadblocks we have set up within our minds. There's nothing more beautiful than a person who is living their truth, free of the invisible mould so many of us think we need to be living in.
.
Whatever your version of beautiful is, go out there and do it. The critics will always be there but at the end of the day, you ultimately choose your own reality 🦋

Hello my lovely instafriends! There's just two weeks left of 30% off skincare treatments at both my Yarmouth and Halifax clinics. If you haven't booked yourself in yet, I've got a combined four spots left!
.

For this month only receive 30% off for 30 days in June on both micro-needling and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facial treatments in celebration of my 30 rotations around the sun! ☀️
.
Both treatments are wonderful for acne, scarring, aging skin (lines and wrinkles), sun spots, hyperpigmentation, dull skin, uneven skin tone and poor skin elasticity. It's my 30th birthday gift to you: let's build up that collagen, correct scarring and give your skin a radiant glow 🐚
.

Fly, fly away 🦋

This is one of my favourite poses. Why? It involves a solid understanding of your body and its orientation in space in order to be able to make the pose soar. Healthy fascial lines are also super important for a nice torso twist, which is also pretty great for your digestive system ☺️
