Detoxification is essential. The longer we work
with clients and see results, the more we realize that detoxification
holds the key to wellness. You wouldn't drive your car for 40 years without
changing the oil and filters, yet we do that with our bodies. Make detoxing
a priority. The benefits include increased energy, sharper brain function,
cellulite metabolism, and weight loss.

Women strongly underestimate the healing power
of water. Mild dehydration is the number one cause of headaches and fatigue.
Drink 8-12 cups of water a day. Make it part of your day, part of your
life. Keep bottles on hand in your car and your purse. Take frequent breaks
throughout your day to drink water and relax. You'll see a remarkable
improvement in your health almost immediately.

Massage therapy is essential to detoxification
from environmental and emotional stressors. Most women see massage as
a luxury, but for many it's the missing piece of their wellness puzzle.
If you're just starting out, schedule a massage once a week. After you're
begun healing, you can cut back to once or twice a month.

Live big; eat little. We don't realize how little
food it takes to keep us maintained. Since a pound of fat is 3500 calories,
it would only take an extra 10 calories a day to gain a pound in a year.
An extra 50 calories a day puts on 5 pounds in a year! Enjoy food, but
don't let it (or all the rules of "dieting") consume you. Just eat small...and
fill your life with more important things.
