Self-care is a hot topic, one that is often glamorized and may feel unattainable based upon what you have heard and seen. I would like to help you see this in a different and attainable way.

When I see my clients, one of the first questions I ask them is, “How have you been taking care of yourself?”.

Self-care begins by taking regular inventory of yourself, mind-body-spirit, to figure out what you are experiencing and what you need. Once you understand what you’re experiencing, you’re able to begin understanding how to offer yourself what you need.

Take a couple of deep breaths wherever you are, and ask yourself, “What do I need right now? What am I experiencing?” And please, do not judge yourself for whatever you are experiencing. You are human, you are learning, and building these habits takes time and practice.
