Are You Taking Your Lifestyle Medicine?

April 1, 2025 //  by Christy

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 …

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, …

The Courage to Be Authentic

December 26, 2023 //  by Christy

You’ve probably heard by now that Merriam-Webster’s Word of the Year for 2023 is ‘Authentic.’ While much of the talk around authenticity since the announcement has revolved around AI, deep fakes, George Santos, Donald Trump (two names I never thought I’d be putting in a blog post), social media influencers and celebrity culture, I want …

My Favorite Books of 2023

December 8, 2023 //  by Christy

If you know me, you know that I read…a lot. My favorite books are non-fiction, because I love learning. (Honestly, I don’t think I’ve read a fiction book in over 20 years.) Yoga philosophy, spiritual growth, the natural world. Those are my topics of choice, and the sorts of books I choose for my Book …

Yoga, Meditation + Neuroscience

May 1, 2023 //  by Christy

The research is in! For ages people have been espousing the benefits of yoga and meditation–but without having any scientific proof that they actually work. Luckily, that has been changing in the past decade. I recently attended an online conference on Yoga + Neuroscience where a number of scientists presented their research on yoga and …

The 4 Most Important Things You Can Do To Help Mitigate Climate Change

September 1, 2022 //  by Christy

By now I think we can all agree that climate change is real. We see evidence of it throughout the world on a daily basis: extreme heat waves, wildfires, droughts, floods, unpredictable weather and more. It can be rather depressing to let the gravity of it all sink in, and I think many of us …

In Remembrance: Hanging Out with Thich Nhat Hanh

January 22, 2022 //  by Christy

The beloved Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author and teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, who taught the West about peace, mindfulness and ‘interbeing,’ just recently passed away at 95 years old. While many of us who admired him were saddened to hear of his passing, for me I was reminded of his own comforting words about interbeing and …
