One thing about doing video interviews, you… ...

Reading List

Here is a list of books that have inspired me and influenced the way I approach life, my work and health.  I’ve separated the books into categories, but just as I don’t view my emotional wellbeing, physical health, or the work that I do as separate entities, the categories below weave beautifully together.

Body Building Your Vagina

Oh My Aching Neck!

My dentist reported that I clench my teeth while I sleep. I knew that I was clenching, but I didn’t want to accept it.  I told myself that clenchers were angry, stressed out people who repress their emotions.  So, not only am I a (reformed) butt clencher, I’m a jaw clencher. I’ve been waking up with headaches and neck tension for a while now.  I bet it’s my pillow!… ...
