Over the weekend, my husband and I met with a new dog trainer (if you follow me on Instagram, you know that Riley is a bit of a trouble maker, but he sure is a cute one!). Her approach was rooted in positive reinforcement … so much so, that she doesn’t even recommend...
This post was originally published in April 2019, and was updated in July 2021. Here's the note from 2019: Ah! It’s been almost 6 weeks since I’ve written a blog post , and while I could make excuses, the real reason is … life! Over the past 6 weeks, I’ve moved...
Your best friend calls you, and you pick it up frantically as you sprint out the door. “How are you doing?” she says. “I’m stressed. I’m going to be late for my massage, because my private pilates class ran over. And if I don’t get home by 5, I’ll never get my meal...

Confession: I am the worst at buying gifts. I love making other people happy, and I consider myself very generous, but it stresses me out tremendously to think about finding “the perfect gift,” getting things ready and wrapped on time, and ensuring that the recipient...
‘Tis the season, and many of my clients are starting to have several holiday parties each week (which makes my introverted side tired just *thinking* about it, but that’s beside the point!). If you only go to one or two holiday parties per year, a bit of extra sugar...
Acid reflux is one of the most common symptoms my clients report experiencing. In fact, over 60 million American adults will have reflux this month, and 25 million of those will have it every day of this month! Having reflux once or twice is not dangerous (although,...
