Hey, What’s up with these Crazy Cravings?
Honest confession: I've been bad lately. For the last few weeks I've had little to no desire to cook (which if you know me, is strange because cooking is absolutely one of my favorite things to do as creative self-expression). But that's not all, I've been craving and eating very specific foods: heavy, spicy, warm foods. Thats code for: Indian food. Now with summer around the corner this is a ... Read the Post

Easy Breezy Fat-Burning Chocolate Recipe
Some of my deepest moments of self love and meditation happen in the beautiful corner of the home called the kitchen. In my 'kitchen-temple' I spend intimate moments communing with myself and the food-gods. When I feel blocked or stuck, I head to the kitchen or take a walk by the lake. They both have the same effect on me: my mind gets quieter. I move from my head into my heart, feeling instead of ... Read the Post
Chemo out. Carrot Juice in. 5 Takeaways from Charlotte Gerson
Imagine spending a cool, sunny afternoon outdoors sitting under the trees. The windchimes sing whimsically. The sun's rays caress teasingly. Your hot cup of tea soothes and relaxes. Now imagine Charlotte Gerson sitting three feet away from you, sharing her experiences of the Gerson Therapy and her father's journey of bringing this treatment to the world. I had to pinch myself several times ... Read the Post
An Inside-out Love Affair with the Avocado
At a recent workshop, I shared with participants how I'd been totally avocado-crazy for a month. I was eating an avocado every day: I dunked them in my smoothies, made guacamole, added them to salads and soups. I just couldn't get enough. My body was giving me very clear signals that I needed the nutrition from this health food in my daily diet. Then this craving slowly tapered down and now I'm ... Read the Post
2013: Year of the Goddess
2013 belongs to the woman. I'll tell you why. This past year was riddled with talk about the world coming to an abrupt end on 21st December 2012. Well, the day came and went and everyone survived just fine. We misunderstood the phenomenon in the first place. It was never meant to be the end of the world. According to the Mayan calendar, it was the end of the 13th b'ak'tun or cycle, and the ... Read the Post
Unusual Stress-Busting Ideas: My Article In Complete Wellbeing Magazine
When I began health coaching last year, it was everything I wished for in a profession, and more. I woke up everyday, excited and raring to go, the work never felt like work, and, being a 7 on the enneagram, I was never bored because each new day brought new experiences to share and learn. As I worked with individual clients and noticed the impact on them (and me) I felt guided to share my work ... Read the Post
Do you have Shiny-Happy Skin?
This infographic has been doing the rounds lately and every woman should read it carefully. While we spend a lot of time and money picking foods that are healthy, organic and natural, we don't often give the same attention to bath and beauty products. This would not be a problem if our skin was not a breathing, alive organ that absorbs most of the stuff that's applied on it. In fact our skin is ... Read the Post
Eyes Wide Open: A Look At Iridology
The first alternative practitioner I visited after being diagnosed with fibroids in 2009 was an iridologist. I wasn't sure what that meant but he came highly recommended and I was eager for answers. After an hour-long test, he sat me down and explained some problem areas. Then he recommended some dietary changes, and one, in particular shook my world: he asked me to get off wheat. Now, let me tell ... Read the Post

Yummy Yellow Squash Sauté
Yesterday the good people from the local co op, Homegrown delivered a bamboo box filled with fresh, crunchy, radiating-light (almost) vegetables, fruits and dairy! Now here's the thing: I like to experiment by ordering the local, sometimes-unknown vegetables but when they arrive, I'm often at a loss at how to prepare them. Aarrgghhh! I find yellow squashes so attractive! They're yellow, which is ... Read the Post
Relating With Food
Note: This article was originally published in Osho News Online Magazine. You can check it out here. Our relationship with food is probably the most intimate one of all. We interact with it at least three times a day and think about it even more. When we consume it, it either nourishes or depletes us. Our food affects not just our energy and immunity but also our mood and temperament. The food ... Read the Post
Quick And Creamy Zucchini Soup
I've sautéed them. Fried them. Baked them. Steamed them. I have NEVER EVER blended zucchinis! It just didn't feel right. But you know what else didn't feel right? Not experimenting! So I decided to make a creamy soup out of the two juicy zucchinis that were sitting in the refrigerator, patiently waiting their turn. Don't you love your vegetables - so eager to nourish our souls! :) This recipes ... Read the Post
