Staying Stress free during the Festive Period!

December is the most festive month of the entire year! As the holidays are fast approaching this is the time to take care of you! The month of December is a hectic one for sure! Juggling work, family, preparing for the holidays, cooking, shopping parties! Its enough to make your head spin and can put a toll on your body! It is very important to have a self care plan in place to keep your energy up and avoid holiday burn out! So let me ask? What do you do for you? Do you practice self care? If you know me I am big on taking care of yourself! As women, we have so many responsibilities and taking care of others we often forget to take care of ourselves and we often put ourselves last when we actually should be putting ourselves first!

Just for you and my gift to you here are a few things you can do just for you!

  1. Keep a gratitude journal each day. Include things you are grateful for along with the things you have accomplished. This will help you stay mindful and keep a positive mindset and will make you feel good!
  2. Get creative! This could be painting, writing or dancing! This will help you express yourself and get those creative juices going! It does not have to be perfect or good. This will help release stress and just make you feel good!
  3. Make a new playlist of music! Music is important and can really uplift us and put us in a great mood! Once you complete your playlist turn it on and have a dance party by yourself! This is a great way to reduce stress, increase energy and just moving your body feels amazing!
  4. Take a bath, light some candles and add rose petals! This will help you relieve stress and help you to relax and help clear your mind.
  5. Schedule a massage! This will help relieve tension and relax your muscles!
  6. Schedule a energy healing session! This will reduce stress, anxiety, tension and help balance your body!
  7. Go for a walk get out in nature and connect to make you feel good and energized!
  8. Take yourself out on a date by yourself! This can be lunch, a movie, visit an art gallery. Something that will make you feel good!
  9. Drink plenty of water! Staying hydrated is important and helps increase energy!
  10. Meditate! Calming your mind and body! Even if it is just a few minutes!

I hope these 10 simple things help you stay relaxed and stress free over the holidays!

I have gift certificates available and these make great stocking stuffers give the gift of energy healing or dance!

Metamorphosis through movement, healing & Dance plus a gift for you!

Metamorphosis! What a word! What does this word mean to you? Over the years I have changed in my personal life and my business. Change is essential and is just a part of life. Metamorphosis can be known as transformation, rebirth, emerging, evolving! It can take on changes in our physical body and on the inside which can involve us spiritually and even mentally. The experiences we go through can transform us, change our thought patterns or even how we live. We learn to adapt and change sometimes without being aware!

As we come to the end of another year what do you want to change? Maybe more self care? Moving your body? Reduce stress? More play? This is all so important because as adults and this is more common for women: we forget to take care of ourselves to move our body and we become so serious with our everyday life we forget to play! So we become stressed, burnt out, feeling disconnected in our bodies! I know I have been there!

Today I have a special gift for you! With the holidays we find ourselves rushing around and it can even feel chaotic! Over the years through my dance and healing I have learned several methods to reduce stress, bring calmness back into the body and reduce anxiety! Just for you I have a very simple breathing exercise that you can do pretty much anywhere and it is so very easy! I have even does this while driving! This is something you can do as often as you need to throughout the day and it will make such a difference!

Here is your FREE Alternate nostril Breathing exercise! Click on the link: https://vimeo.com/651636596

I would love to know how you feel after doing this! Let me know!

Celebrating a year of success and a gift for you!

Celebrating officially being in my new space & new studio for one year! It has been such a great year and there have been so many changes and new things happening! My new space/studio is called Najlas Dance-Metamorphosis through dance, movement & healing. Why did I decide to go with this? I was called to create space where those that are looking for a safe, supportive and nurturing environment to feel more confident, empowered and to connect to themselves through all the modalities I offer! It has been exciting to see it grow and I have so many ideas for the future. Helping others is what I am all about! I mostly work with women, helping them find themselves through movement, dance & healing. I can also say no one in my area offers the variety and the specialized classes and healing modalities under one space!

I am offering a special gift for you! If you have not been to my class Metamorphosis through movement and healing and have been curious and want to check it out. Now is your chance! For the month of October I am offering a free class just for you! This is available in person and zoom! Spaces are limited in person! I am really excited about this and it is such a very special class! This will help you relieve stress and feel calmer and rejuvenated! You will connect to your body and move in a very easy and beginner friendly way.
