Have you ever heard of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)? Unfortunately, this is commonly reported amongst postmenopausal women, but rarely talked about.

GSM is a condition that can result from the hormonal changes of menopause and result in symptoms such as vaginal dryness/burning/itching, urinary frequency/urgency/incontinence, and/or painful intercourse (dyspareunia).

These symptoms may be common, but that does not mean they are normal.

The Energy Medicine Institute says, the body’s energies are the key to health, vitality, and well-being. Energy medicine is the art and science of working with and teaching people to work with these energies to empower them to live happier, healthier lives. Long recognized by Eastern cultures, subtle energy fields are only recently being detected, studied, and utilized by Western medicine. Energy medicine is transforming health care, as well as having an impact on education, business, sports, and all other endeavors involving human performance. Energy has an impact on all of life, how we live in our bodies and how we relate to our communities and environments every day.

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch or near touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing. Reiki is sometimes seen as the gateway to the mystical and magical realm of energy work and energy healing. It is something that feels accessible, and it is, while at the same time to access it requires a spirit of openness. It is a safe, gentle, non-invasive form of natural hands-on, energy-based healing.

The Akashic Records are essentially an energetic database of all that has ever and will ever happen. The Akashic Records contain the details of your soul, as well as that of all life forms on the planet and our respective journeys. The records span past lives, current incarnations, and future possibilities. Like today’s cloud storage systems, they are the central storehouse, in energetic form, of all information for every individual who has ever lived upon the earth.

I’d love to share about some of the things I’ve been exploring lately. For my whole adult life, I’ve been endlessly curious about health and wellness. I want to try All. The. Things. What’s come up most recently (well, one of the things anyway) is that I’d been hearing so many stories over the last 10 years or so about trippy plant medicine journey’s with Ayahuasca or mushrooms and I was curious. I kept checking in with myself to see if it felt right for me and it never did. I had this underlying fear that they may be too much for me… like they’d blow a circuit in my mind and I’d have a psychotic break from which I’d never return, but yet, some of the breakthroughs sounded amazing!

In 2020 I finally started to feel the call to work with plant medicine so I asked my herbalist, who studied for years in the Amazon, for her plant medicine recommendation and she said, “Why don’t you start with Chamomile.” I giggled thinking she was joking. She was not. I didn’t even know what she meant by that. I wasn’t going to see God by drinking a cuppa Chamomile!
