I have created 25 tips in reference to that significant day this month – the 25th of December. Check back each day for a new tip! Here are tips 1 – 11, to help see you through a happy, healthy holiday season.
Metabolic Balance
I am happy to tell you about my newest discovery in nutrition that came about as a result of my own recent bout of ill health. For the last four years I have been pushing myself something fierce – working to complete my PhD at the same time as my holistic nutrition degree. The crazy pace caught up to me and I had a health crash in September.

Iridology Sessions Add Insight at Wellness Retreat
Last weekend I was privileged to participate in a wellness retreat at a secluded private residence in the woods up north. The invitation was extended by a dear friend and long-time client, Kathryn Braun. She also proposed I do a mini iridology reading for each of the other attendees – six females spanning in age from 8 to 67.
Even mini iridolgy sessions can offer significant revelations and/or confirmations of a person’s nature, strengths and talents, plus enhance their self knowledge, help them understand their past and find direction for the future. I can identify trans-generational patterns in family trees – both physical and emotional and see where there had been times of low energy and/or illness.
The sessions also include a homeopathic consultation, nutritional guidance, life coaching and lifestyle recommendations. And because of the group and shorter time frame, it’s a much more affordable option than the usual 2 hour office consultation.
The beautiful setting where we met, surrounded by hawks, hammering woodpeckers and other animals that eyed us curiously from a distance – allowed us all to draw on the energy of nature. The open, welcoming vitality of our hostess, Kathyrn, who served delicious, nutritious food, and the receptivity of the participants, all combined to enhance the depth of the sessions. Overall the experience for me was meaningful and restorative.
I like to think I touched the lives of 5 beautiful women and one young beautiful soul, in a positive way that will continue the work to help make the earth a better place. I have invited the participants of the iridology party to comment on their respective readings and hope to share some of their feedback with you in future postings.

About Emotional and Physical Iridology
Emotional Iridology is a rare and invaluable healing tool. This type of eye reading can
reveal the deep emotional wounds of the soul. By addressing the emotional root
of a problem we can begin the healing process of physical ailments like heart
disease, hormonal problems and sexual dysfunctions.
Physical Iridology can identify the source of a problem that may not be serious
enough to be detected by traditional testing systems.
The eye shows the toxic load of all organs and areas of the body.
The eye also reveals hereditary weaknesses in organs and predispositions to
illnesses five to ten years out.
It is believed Physical Iridology can help reveal:
– Hereditary illnesses such as: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis;
and genetic predispositions like the internalization of feelings, suicidal thoughts,
low self esteem, bronchial problems, addictive tendencies, and skin problems
– The state of all organs, tissues, glands and regulatory systems, like the
circulatory and lymphatic systems
– What your health may be in five to ten years based on your present life style
– Your overall nutritional status
