Been a little quiet over here at Food Magic!

The summer has been full of hike adventures, family camping, travel friend visits, beach days, concerts and dancing.🌄

Ive also been working hard on a new course to expand my knowledge and help my clients within my coaching programs! 📖

Looking forward to more routine and structure that the Virgo season brings and welcoming in more coaching opportunities 🙌

Stay tuned for more ways to work with me as we transition into the fall and DM if you have any questions 🍂

2 years postpartum and perimenopausal. Somedays feeling more myself and others not so much! ⚖️

These last couple years I have navigated little sleep, mood swings, sluggish digestion, stubborn infections and an embarrassing amount of cavities. 🤦‍♀️

But along with this journey has come so much joy and I am ever grateful for my boys. 😇

It has humbled me and forced me to slow down, be present and prioritize my energy towards my own healing and family. ✨️

I am grateful for the gentle reminder that less is more and how miraculous the body is at healing itself!
I am grateful for the continued knowledge and tools that are bringing me back into harmony 🌞

If you are a newer Mama or struggling with perimenopausal symptoms let me know your struggles! We are in this together and I would love to help ❤️

Thank for an inspiring day of learning about longevity and holistic health 🌿
Left with a full brain, belly and heart ❤️

Bath Snacks Part 2 ✌️😆

If you know me, then you know my love for sushi!🍣

I tend to opt for salmon over tuna to avoid excess mercury (tuna is a bigger fish and has higher levels than salmon) .

Also had a miso soup before, but gulped that down while I was feeding the baby. Miso can help increase the good gut bugs by adding loads of pre and probiotics. 🐛

I know there is sugar in the rice and sauce, so I definitely enjoy it as a treat every once in a while! 😋

I was craving a glass of wine, but with a small surgery (that I'm making sure my body is strong for) coming up on Tuesday, I decided to make myself an adrenal cocktail instead: 🍹

*1 cup of coconut water (potassium)
*fresh squeezed juice of 1 orange and half lemon(vitamin C
*tablespoon of coconut cream(healthy fat)
*dash of Celtic salt (nourishing for the adrenals)
Shaken over ice 🧊

By nourishing my adrenal glands , I am helping decrease the stress load in my body, which can help keep my immune system strong 💪

Does anyone else enjoy eating in the bath, or is it just me?! 😝

Having snacks for dinner, Hibiscus tea and a fantasy novel in the bath is one of my favorite ways to wind down. 😇
Sometimes, it's the little things that I find bring big joy ✨️

I am grateful for a productive day, slowly getting more sleep with the little man, hot yoga, and the energy to meal prep healthy foods for the week!

Not every day is like this, I dont always get meal prep done on Sunday, but I try my best!

I'm learning to honor my body and energy levels. I am letting go of the voice in my head telling me to "BE PRODUCTIVE ALWAYS!!!"
I am resting when I need to and exploring the art of "not doing"

Wishing you all a happy restful Sunday 🫶
