Every Day Therapy

We talk with some oily ladies about how to use essential oils to support mental and emotional wellbeing. A return favorite guest, Noel Baker, Licensed Professional Counselor and Experienced- Registered Yoga Teacher and E-RYT and Sarah Camiolo, Experienced- Registered Yoga Teacher talk all about how oils support the nervous system and the brain. WHAT!!? Yeah, it’s not all woo woo people. A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people's moods and even affect their work performance. Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain's limbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling it's sometimes called the "emotional brain," smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously. Topics we cover: Self-care, Baby! Libido Anxiety and depression Importance of Rituals Sleep Hygiene The different ways to use oils

So Self-Care?! WTHeck really is it? Self-care is such a buzz word right now. I mean, #selfcare, right?! I love a good bubble bath, massage, or face mask. But self-care is soooo much more than that!

It's setting intentions to know you are worthy and important. It's slowing down and being intentional. And sometimes it's even being uncomfortable.
