Age 50 is a big mile marker, for men and women alike. Half of life has passed and a deep questioning phase naturally arises. “Have I done everything I want to accomplish in this lifetime? Am I doing what I really want to do?” It is not uncommon for people to quit corporate jobs in favor of more meaningful work in a non profit organization despite less pay. Some quit their householder life altogether and pursue a spiritual life in an ashram or other spiritual setting. Finding one’s life purpose,

The kitchen is the healing hub for you and your family. Knowing how to keep and stock your kitchen skillfully will bring physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. How you prepare your food and what energy you put into your meals is crucial; it is part of how to nourish and heal yourself. Each bite either supports or creates extra work for the body. Each bite matters. The kitchen has the potential of creating a sense of abundance, nourishment, connection and healing. It is the heartbeat of

Ashlee and I chat about the effect of nourishment or lack thereof during the powerful event of giving birth and how it shows up during the next natural, major transition for women we call menopause.

Tracey was obsessed about menopause. It is all she could talk about once she hit that phase in her life. Tracey grew up in a family where topics like menopause was not exactly to be discussed. Think British and think proper. Once she entered this phase herself she had no clue how to relate her symptoms with a possible diagnosis until hot flashes hit her. Aha, might this be the great transition? Her Western medical doctor confirmed that she indeed had entered the perimenopausal phase. That’s w

That’s a significant 33%. Think uterine and bladder prolapse, urinary incontinence, urinary tract infections, yoni flatulence or rectal incontinence. In a study from 2007 with close to 9,000 women it was shown that ….. * 25% of women experience rectal incontinence * 15% stress incontinence of
