The Partnered Healing Blog

Let’s cut to the chase. I don’t feel like I need to go into all the reasons we may be feeling overwhelmed right now. We see it in each other’s eyes when someone asks, “How are you?” Let’s help your body and spirit not get further run down with some short body-based practices. Not because that is just a nice idea, but because you feeling your best is important to the fabric of your daily life and the life of your loved ones. 1. Lie Down on the Floor Lie down on the floor.

A Brief Intro to Body Dialogue In many of the past blogs, I have mentioned that “your body is speaking to you all the time.” I want to spell out some clear examples of what that actually means and what you can do with that information to bring higher vitality into your daily life. My wish for you is that your body is not a mystery . I wish for you to feel like your body is your closest companion and biggest supporter. I want you to love your body so much, as much as the most

What energy are you feeling here at the end of another year? Excitement? Dread? Anxiety? Peace? A mixture? Are you looking at your friends and family, or possibly your growing children, and asking yourself, “How is it possible it is December already?” You are not alone, lots of us feel this way. Over the last five months in this blog, we have been exploring monthly themes for reclaiming and embodying daily vitality. These mixed and sometimes frenzied feelings at the end of th

This may be a cozy, busy, bright, fun-filled time for you, exciting and creative, or perhaps it is a lonely, dark time. Maybe it is fraught with mixed family dynamics, the crush of overspending and overindulgence. Likely most of us will experience some mixture of all of that. I have an idea to share with you that can help you prepare for your own peace during this s

What this is about:  That part of your healing journey where you are some better, but not all the way. Sometimes a place of frustration, disappointment and languishing. What story is your mind telling you about illness and aging?  Is there a part of you that does NOT believe you can be all the way better?

Have you ever wished Life came with an instruction booklet? (Honestly, who has NOT wished for that?) Incidentally, it does. As we wrap up our Spooky Season theme of working toward something you are dreaming of doing—but that feels a bit scary—let’s take a look at Life’s instructions for you. What do you love? What energizes you? What drains your energy? What are you excited and curious about? What is interesting? What feels exhausting? What sucks the life right out of you? Th

Come, let your days take on a filmy, atmospheric quality with the darkening hours, the cooler temps, and changing leaves. Can you let the lines blur a bit between the stuff you have to do and the visions you hold in your head of what you want your life to look like? In the last blog, we asked about the thing you are longing to do that feels a little bit scary. So get a warm cup of something, light a candle, and let's sink a little deeper into what your Soul and Body are askin
