When you ask someone about their liver, most will say, yes, it’s in there. Well, what does it do? A lot! To be more specific, it plays a huge role in detoxifying the body. It has over 500 functions and 11 detoxification pathways (5 in Phase 1 and 6 in Phase 2) to get the junk out and aid in immunity and digestion. Where is my liver? The liver is located to the right of the stomach, behind the ribcage, and below the diaphragm. I call this the “everything organ”.

However, it does so much more. Having an emotional healing focused brain, the first thought that comes to my mind is, joy and the sweetness in life.

Food sugars are related to comfort and joy. It makes us feel better, even if it is temporary.... Read More

Essential Oil Scent Contamination

December 7, 2017 4 Comments

That’s MY Oil Did you know there is such a thing as essential oil contamination? I was recently at an event sharing the benefits of essential oils, and letting attendees smell and connect with the different scents. One lady came up to me and told me how much she loves essential oils.
