“You have to live in your mind for all your life; Make it a nice place to be.” Hello! I am so happy you are here!
Life is like a path. Not a straight path. A path with several curves. The curves have obstacles. The obstacles slow you down and create detours...BUT this is YOUR path. It is how you use these curves and obstacles to grow in making your path a place you love to be all the time.
If you are reading this, you have taken a crucial first step in taking care of your mental health....Recognition. You understand that your mental wellness is important in order to grow and create a happy place for yourself. The next step....Action. This utilizes plant-based supplementation, for the nutrients that support mental and physical health (the gut-brain axis), and habits that take place throughout the day or week to nurture the mind.
Please reach out for some 'tea time.' I would love to share our past (the good, the bad, and the ugly), present (How we feel now), and future (how we will navigate our paths). As we discuss the future, we will determine goals. Based on these goals I will provide necessary products and tips to support mental growth on your path.
Please see below for my simple tips to take care of mental wellness (: Cheers!
