What if you didn’t have to detox so heavily and radically, because your lifestyle is already healthy overall? What if you had a healthy balance between allowing yourself to be human and eating a chocolate bar here and there, spending some conscious time on IG, and Netflix-ing with intention and moderation, without blaming yourself? What if you loved yourself so much that you stayed away from coffee, because you know it gives you headaches when you don't have it, because the body is addicted?
In 2019, IIN interviewed me about my experience as a Health Coach. This year (2020), IIN featured me in their International Women's Day Article, which is such an honor.

Most people think that health is a very complicated topic and we need all kinds of lab tests and doctors visits to find out if we are healthy or not. While lab tests are great, there are some super simple indicators to tell how healthy your body is - without having to go to the doctor (unless you experience severe health issues, then please consult your doctor).
What kind of conversations do you want to have in 2021? Talk about why others are wearing their masks wrong, have weird haircuts or looks, or aren't doing what they "should", e.g. eat healthier or workout? Talk about why the government wasn't reacting faster in the covid crisis or why borders are still not open? Or that discussion that happened on TV the other day that you don't agree with?
While I’m sitting at the pool in the middle of the jungle in Bali, I had to think of something that I shared with my clients in our workshop last month:
Did you know that 92% of New Year's goals fail by January 15th?
That was just last week. This means that most people have already thrown their New Year’s intentions over board. If that’s you, here’s how to readjust your goals to make sure you can create your dreamy glow life this year:
Go over your goals and make sure you find them EXCITING! Don’t work on things you feel like you “have to”, because others tell you to, or you force yourself, because you want to please others or receive validation from someone.
Here’s an example: if you want to feel better in your body, look leaner, and have more energy, do it, because YOU want this, not because some beauty standard says you should weigh x kg/lb with your height, or because you want your partner to compliment you.
Make the action steps so small you can actually achieve them consistently, get first results, and celebrate the small successes.
Here’s an example: If you want to get into a habit of moving your body, don’t go from not moving at all to expecting yourself to work out 5 times a week. Start with simple steps like booking a class a week, or make it a commitment to move your body for 20mins a day including walks.
When we set goals, it’s not enough to just say something like “I want to be healthier”. I’ve been using the S.M.A.R.T. goals method for years for myself and with my clients to set goals that are exciting, realistic, and get us into actually taking action. The letters S.M.A.R.T. stand for the following criteria:
S: specific
M: measurable
A: attainable
R: relevant
T: timely
Here’s an example: “just working out more” isn’t a SMART goal. Make it specific. Make sure you can measure it, so you actually know when you can tick it off, make it attainable, choose a relevant goal, and set a time frame to it.
Something that’s important for you to know, beautiful, is that you can always adjust your goals. You can always make them bigger. You can always expect more of yourself. But first, we want to make sure that you set yourself up to win. You want to be on your own team, have your back, and see yourself make progress.
What if this year became the healthiest year of your life yet? Let it sink in. It is 100% possible, and I would love to support you on your journey. You so deserve to live your best life.

Hi beauties! How have you been doing this week? I hope you are safe, healthy, and are coping well with the current uncertainty. I wanted to share a few things to do this weekend and to remind you that, no matter how uncertain, insecure, scary, and out-of-control things may be in the outside world, there are still things that are 100% in your control. Let's focus on what that is.
Hey loves! I hope you had some beautiful days off with your loved ones and took some time to recharge - but also to REFLECT! If you've known me for a while now, you know that I'm obsessed with my journal and with reflecting, as well as dream mapping! 2017 has been an incredible year for me and so many of my dreams have come true. Let me share a few with you...
The holiday season is upon us and though, there is so much to love about this season (the lights, the food, the gifts, the parties!), there also comes a lot of stress along with it. All the sugar, the events and parties, the alcohol, and the family gatherings can be a little overwhelming. And often, when we are overwhelmed and don't have a lot of time, the first thing we forget about is our healthy habits.
