Looking at Life through a different lens
January came and went, and the spring flew by. Sometimes it feels as though we barely enjoyed summer and if you live in areas that experience extreme cold, it may already feel like fall disappeared. That’s how it feels in Massachusetts. Hoodie weather was about two weeks, give or take. The pellet stove has been […]
That’s what I call it. When I feel I want to run away and leave reality behind for a few moments. The great escape. When I was kid, like little, I was terrible at reading. It was something I had to practice over and over and over. This is something that greatly influenced how I […]
I find it interesting that everyone that I’ve spoken to in health – whether it’s healthcare or fitness acknowledges how a small exposure triggered a new direction or an additional path in their work.

What the actual fuck. Last week a friend of mine went to their new therapist and was asked about self-care. Did they practice it? They were then asked, did they love themselves. Self-care is tricky because like all things that are gray, it’s different for everyone. Gender norms can play a role. Geography can play […]
Health education can be a broad term. Many of my clients would say that I’m a health educator because of the information we discuss, but in this context, we’re talking about the person shapes the minds of our future health workforce. The professor. As students, we don’t think much about the faculty outside of the […]
Health is complex. I hope at this point regardless of where you are in your journey or in your journey following me, you’ve seen from others and yourself that health is complex.

Ever feel like you need to level up your salads? Maybe this can help you out a bit.
