~ Mid February Newsletter ~

Melt my heart, it's mid-February!

I'm writing to you a tad earlier than I usually would due to some time-sensitive "last call" announcements for classes, but it's also perfect because as of this week I have two brand new articles to share with you! 

Love Yourself & Share the Love

Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and whether or not you have someone romantically special in your life, this is a great time to treat yo-self, show yourself some love, and bestow love on those around you (romantic or not). Perhaps buy yourself, someone you care about, or even a stranger a bouquet of flowers. Shannon is so sweet, it almost always gives away a bouquet of flowers to a stranger when he goes to the grocery store. Or schedule a February date with someone you've been meaning to spend some quality time with! :) We live in emotionally challenging times. Small acts of love mean so much.

NEW Libido Teas Recipes

Spiced Blueberry Cacao Maca Libido Vitality Tea 

& Shatavari Rose Libido Vitality Tea

With Valentine's around the corner, many of us are rekindling our sensual love for others and ourselves. Taste for Life magazine has featured several fun articles by me on this topic over the years, and I just created to BRAND NEW TEA RECIPES. Even if you're not looking for a libido hit, these teas are delicious, nourishing, support the reproductive system and hormones, and elevate mood. They were so much fun to create!

My In the Mood for Organic Love blog HERE  links you to these teas (with variations and tips) along with other libido herb articles, basic herb info, and an edible body butter recipe. Enjoy! 

NEW Urinary & Pelvic Floor Support Article

Urinary leakage, incontinence, overactive bladder, and pelvic floor tone loss are among the many problems that affect more people than you realize because most people don’t talk about it. Many people simply deal with it in silence, heading to the bathroom more often, slapping on a pad or adult diaper. But we have natural options including pelvic floor physical therapy (which alone can be amazing) and natural remedies like the  pumpkin seed oil (specifically the oil, which has been a game changer in the clinic... but is apparently being cranky about working as an image in this email). I’m grateful to the editors of Taste for Life magazine who let me cover this topic and then posted it online so I could share it with you! Huge thank you to pelvic floor physical therapist Susan Ramsey for her contributions as well! Read my article on Urinary & Pelvic Floor Support Here
