Spring is upon us, but this season is sooo much more than blooming flowers and warmer days. It’s a time of profound energetic shifts that your body FEELS, before your mind even catches on.


I’m chatting about spring from both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and biblical perspectives. This transition from winter to spring brings a variety of changes to your mood, energy, and physical health.


I’m also sharing more about embracing spring’s ‘liver energy’ in your everyday life, histamine intolerance, strategies for supporting your natural detox pathways, and more. 


Spring is definitely a time for emotional ‘cleansing’. It shows us that we don’t have to stay stuck, because healing and growth IS possible. 


I hope you choose to shed the stagnation of winter, nourish your mind and body, and step into the vibrant renewal that is spring!
