For living a better quality, embodied, present and joy-full life.
There is no magic bullet, my friends. This human life thing is complex, nuanced and layered. Which means caring for ourselves is about finding the magic soup ingredients to nourish and light yourself up. My own healing and ongoing self-care has been successful from exploring and trying many things, and learning what I need in any given moment and scenario. Knowledge of oneself, and both inner and outer resources are key.
I recommend the following practitioners and resources from personal experience. I do not get any royalties or financial benefit from sharing them with you, unless noted. You may like these, or use this as a jumping off point to search for something similar that resonates better with you.
Always more to come...
