Interested in elevating your Self Care?  

Simple wellness practices incorporated Into a daily routine can have lasting effects on improving your wellbeing.  Focused breath, mindful movement and mindset  are  all ways to engage and participate in our own health and healing.  

Self Care without Cannabis? No Problem!

Self  Care  is  a  very  personal  and  diverse  practice....  the  keyword  being  PRACTICE!

 Why  not  have  guidance  and  support?

Self Care wasn’t always my priority....

Self Care wasn’t always a priority, and Cannabis wasn’t even on my radar.  


Until I could  no  longer  ignore  the  chronic  pain,  exhaustion,  depression, anxiety and  fatigue  in  my  body,  I decided  something  HAD  to  change.      


I‘ve had  a  pretty  active  life,  working  mostly  in  Massage  Therapy  23+  years  and  having  been  a  competitive  athlete  in my early years.

I  did  well  earning  many  accolades,  but  there  was  a  price  to  pay.    


With  life,  injuries,  chronic  pain,  and  muscle  trauma,  I  was  relying  on  over-the-counter  anti-inflammatories, pain  medications,  prescription anti-anxiety,  anti-depressant, and  hormone  therapy.  When  I  wasn’t  on  a  steroid  for  inflammation I took  4000mg  to  5000mg  of  OTC  anti-inflammatories (acetaminophen)   daily  Dr. approved.

My  Nervous  System  was  in  overdrive. 


I  had  used  Cannabis recreationally  and  noticed  that  it  really  helped  me  get  restful  sleep,  reduce  pain  and  feel  a  little  better.    The  pain  wasn’t  gone, but  I  had  distance  from  it, and  WOW  did  that  help.    


I spent  a lot  of  my  time  ‘managing’  my  pain.... or  more  appropriately  being  ’managed’  by  my  pain.    Some  days  were  Ok,  other  days  the  pain  was  too  much.    All  of  it  was  exhausting.    If  I  let  tension  build  for  too  long  I’d  get  a migraine.    I  started  getting  a  lot  of  migraines.    


With  Cannabis,  gentle  movement,  effective  bodywork,  essential  oils,  meditation, Therapy  and  healthier  boundaries  I  was  able  to  reduce  OTC  acetaminophen   in  half, in  about  6  months.    I  started to  include   micro-dosing  CBD  into  my  routine  and   in  another  6  months  I  wasn’t  taking  any  more  OTC  acetaminophen.    (I  haven’t  taken  acetaminophen  since  Dec.  2018.


I’ve  been  researching  and  learning  as  much  as  I can  (and  continue  to)  about  Cannabis  and  its   MANY  benefits.   

I  spent  some  time  ‘walking  through  the  mud’  learning  and  figuring  out  what  worked  for  me.    While  I  was  doing  that  I  was  always  thinking...  If I  could  learn  enough  and  help  someone  get  results  with  Cannabis  in  less  time  and  not  alone ,  that  would  be  a  wonderful  way  to  give  back.    As  a  Cannabis  Coach,  I am  grateful  my  work  can  help  others  avoid  mistakes  I’ve  made  along  the  way  and  bring  research  and  the  latest news about  cannabis  to  the  people  that  want  a knowledgable  guide  to  their  cannabis  use  journey.  


I’ve  enriched  my  cannabis  education  with  the  Cannabis Cheri,  Holistic Cannabis  Academy,  Cannabis  Coaching  Institute,  the  Trichome  Institute,    and  Ganja  Yoga Training.


There really  is  SO  MUCH  information  out  there, not  all  of  which  is  clear  or  accurate.  Much  of  the  information  about  cannabis  online  or  even  at  dispensaries  can  be  really  confusing.   Having  guidance  and  support  incorporating  any  new  Self  Care  practice  into  daily  life  can  be  helpful.    Especially  with  a  plant  that  our  body  has  a  built  in  receptor  system  to  receive.    


That’s  why  Conscious  Cannabis  Coaching  is  important  to  me.

Paying  attention  to  intention is an  important  consideration  in  EVERYTHING  we  do.        

With  or  without  Cannabis- Self  Care  really  can  have  a  positive  impact  on  our  health  and  wellness.    We    can  engage  our  Nervous  System  in  a  way  to  regulate  and  self- correct  through  mindful  self  care  and  proactive  goal  setting.


If  you’ve  read  this  far, Thank  you!

I look  forward to  supporting  you on  your  self  care  journey,  whether  you  are  new  to  Cannabis,  a long  time  consumer  or  just  curious.


Peace, Love, Cannabis!!!

✌️💖🌱
