As someone starting my own holistic healing and wellness journey (go me!), using herbs and natural remedies to heal my body and fuel my health and fitness journey is really important to me after watching my mother die from Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer.

Self-care has grown beyond bubble baths and face masks—it’s now about creating environments and habits that feed every part of who you are. The way we eat, the places we go, and the services we choose all shape our energy, our mood, and ultimately, our health. Start with food that loves you back. Look for places that serve clean, nutrient-rich meals—smoothie bars that use organic produce, cafés that offer adaptogenic lattes, and restaurants that make freshness their signature. If you’re cooking at home, think of it as an act of love. Create a small ritual around it: light a candle, play music, and eat slowly. Food is energy, and energy responds to intention. Then, invest in services that support your wellness journey. Maybe it’s a float therapy session to quiet your nervous system, a sound bath to balance your energy, or a lymphatic drainage massage that leaves you feeling light and renewed. These aren’t indulgences—they’re recalibrations for a body that carries energy.
