I am proud to share that earlier this year I completed Harvard Medical School’s Executive Education Lifestyle Medicine + Wellness Coaching course. Since I have loved sharing healthy lifestyle resources for years, I thought I would make it official and get a certification. I loved the course, and spending time with people from around the …

Why I Teach Old-School Yoga

February 19, 2025 //  by Christy

I started practicing yoga in 1995, in the health club across the street from the apartment complex where I lived.

As 2024 comes to an end, I wanted to share an update on the ongoing health issues I’ve been dealing with this year, since I’ve heard from some of you recently who were not aware of what has been going on with me. For almost 6 months now I’ve been dealing with complications from a …

Winter Buddha Bowl

December 9, 2024 //  by Christy

Inspired by a bowl recipe in the book Brain Food by Dr. Lisa Mosconi, it is full of healthy proteins, cruciferous vegetables, good fats, fiber and fermented microbiome nourishers.

5 Gifts of Self-Care for the Holidays

December 2, 2024 //  by Christy

I don’t know about you, but my favorite kinds of gifts to receive are experiences, especially if they are stress-relieving and nourishing. Acknowledging my body, mind and spirit is the ultimate gesture of generosity. (Gift certificates for a relaxing massage, or dinner at one of my favorite healthy restaurants so I don’t have to cook, …

5 Things I Wish I’d Known Before Perimenopause

October 7, 2024 //  by Christy

Now that I’m comfortably into my 50s, I can look back over the past dozen years and take stock of everything I learned during perimenopause–knowledge I wish I’d had before the roller coaster ride that is that time of life. I just was not adequately prepared for all the shifts and changes (something I hear …

If you’re an older yogi you might already have arthritis, or at least it is a concern and you know you need to keep up your muscle strength and keep moving your joints. If you’re younger, you might be thinking this blog post doesn’t apply to you. However, it is my belief that it is …
