Considering Different Health Options

Different Health Solutions When it comes to conversations about health we get so many mixed messages from the media and from tribal knowledge. It feels like there is no simple answer. There’s the world of pharmaceuticals - pills and prescriptions for all problems. This ends up feeling like a band-aid - addressing the symptoms rather than the root cause. Suddenly these pills which say that they address the problem come with a long list of all of the side-effects that prescript

Healing the Lungs - COVID & COPD

So let’s talk about lungs. I’ve been delving into the different ways that I can help people after the respiratory ramifications of COVID. Especially the challenges that it created for people with sports and general health. With that in mind, I’ve been doing lots of research on what people can do to heal their bodies and breathe better. That lead me to COPD. If you are like me, you just thought to yourself - what is COPD? It sounds like a police force or maybe even a branch of

Giving & Healing During the Holidays

Give the gift of healing When I first thought of what I wanted to share with you this December, I immediately thought of how this month drops me into Christmas-mode. Well, how is this relevant to light therapy? So I thought a little deeper.

Nerves, Neuropathy & Light Therapy

Neuropathy & Nerve Pain It’s the middle of November and Thanksgiving is just a week away. I personally can’t wait to hunker down with my family and get some time with them. We’ll have great food, amazing company, and a chance to breathe in and enjoy so much of what life has given to us. As the holidays unfold, I find that it’s harder to take care of myself as I focus on others. Yet, it’s essential to take care of ourselves as things pick up in pace. I want to help you take ca

Broken Bones & Osteoporosis - Get Back into the Swing of Life!

So I’m not sure about you, but I know that as soon as the snow drops I think about all of the people in Colorado heading up over I-70 to get their skiing & snowboarding on. It’s hard to resist the pull to be up in the mountains enjoying that fresh snow and all of the fun that the mountains have to offer come wintertime. What I also hear alot about are broken legs and wrists from people who jumped too high and tried to do moves they weren’t ready for. Some people just have bad

Sleep & Depression - Can I feel better?

Having a steady sleep schedule likely sounds IMPOSSIBLE. Especially if you have lots of things going on in your life like with family, school, and the holidays just around the corner. But it’s so important to have a consistent sleep schedule, not only does it help you prepare for the day, but it also works on a biological level to let your body know when it should be ready to wake or sleep. If this changes frequently it can leave your body in a state of stress. There is more

Seasonal Depression/Well Being

Seasonal Depression/Well Being I’ve spoken about this before, and I’m speaking to it again because it’s so powerful.

Have you experienced a ringing in your ears? When I’m thinking about what to send out to you each week, I often think about what I’m hearing the most from my clients.

Helping our Children Benefit from Light Therapy

Helping our Children Benefit from Light Therapy When school starts up again it can be so relieving - more time to take care of things that were forgotten over the summertime - but it also means that many of us have kids in sports and the winter months are coming.
