Client highlight of the day: “I feel like I’m getting back in touch with who I am at my core, without the anxiety and cynicism, I just feel freer and lighter. This lifestyle is becoming second nature and destroying the story I’ve always told myself that being healthy is hard, or being on a restricted diet means being in a constant state of longing. It’s so much easier and more nourishing that I thought. I don’t remember feeling this good, and I want to keep on this journey.” ~JessD I love these aha’s. Digestive issues and wanting to lose weight before her wedding was what initially motivated our work, but quickly what unfolded were deeper motivations as she started to notice how much better she felt physically, mentally, emotionally through some simple guided shifts in diet and lifestyle. She’s been doing amazing and after just a few short weeks her digestion, skin, blood sugar, cravings, mood, energy, body composition have all improved, she’s excited for the wedding and beyond. What a beautiful gift to return home to our body and being before creating a home with our beloved and family. #vesselandsoul #functionalmedicine #healthcoach #fmchc #nbchwc #nutrition #testimonial #feedback #rumi #honor #beauty #healthiswealth #bodymind
We’re all starlight eating starlight. How magnificent is that? Think about it, or rather, FEEL that. From the sun to the plants, to the bugs, the birds, the four legged’s, to us, in this cycle of life, we are all digesting starlight into form, and back into the formless again. Feeling into those wise beautiful words our inspiring friend @thegaiaschoolofhealingca shared with us recently on a hike to a special tree. As I am pulled down to lay with the earth today and feel the hot sun warm my skin, while I welcome my moontime aches and surrender to slowing down for a little while, I listened to the happy buzzing bees and watched the dancing blades of grass in the breeze and the buggy critters passing by and across my skin, watched the leaves grow and ravens fly in swooping circles overhead, and feeling formless and fluid with it all again, and then I read this and smiled, in gratitude for signs and nudges to presence and connection and re-membering. #theearthpath #starhawk #vesselandsoul #musings #wisdom #guidance #earth #gaia #magic #starlight #cycleoflife #nature #love

I love salad seasons. They never have to be boring, and can be packed with nutrients, color, flavor, zest, and wildness. And you can pack it up and take it with you for freshness on the go. This rainbow salad had all the goods: wild arugula, wild mustard flowers, heirloom carrot, tomato, bell pepper, avocado, homemade cultured veggies, purple onion, blueberries, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, olive oil and lemon, mmmhmm gimme somma that. What are some of your fabulous salad surprises? 🌈🍋🥕🍅🌶🍆🥦✨ #vesselandsoul #eattherainbow #functionalnutrition #functionalmedicine #healthcoach #delicious #salad #diy #roadtripfood #organic #glutenfree #plants #love

Love exploring and creating in the kitchen with my fellow food lover and rainbow hearted beauty @brooke_ritchie . Yesterday we made a chickpea flatbread with wild nettles and the most beautiful sunset blushed pears, shaved asparagus, arugula, wild chickweed salad with mustardy peppery dressing, and tempura nettles for fun. #glutenfree #wild #organic #plantbased #vegan #play #create #girlfriends #plants
