Being fully present, even a moment at a time, has been one way I have found that increases my capacity for joy. I am able to create more space in my daily life and fully experience living.
An avid aroma enthusiast, I have devoted my career to understanding the connection between mind, body and spirit. I come from a diverse background in education, health and wellness and have practiced and taught in the arenas of bodywork, holistic therapies, yoga and plant medicine. I've been teaching about essential oil usage for 14 years with the last six years at Frontier Co-op educating about essential oils on behalf of the Aura Cacia brand. My passions are my family, reading, writing, gardening, natural healing, yoga, hiking, & travel. I believe the world is made a better place by small acts of kindness.

The time spent with very little children was once described to me as "the longest, shortest time." I didn't realize how true this statement was until recently.

For all of you parents on either side of this, essential oils can help with the emotional balance of it all.

Among many other things I like to incorporate aromatherapy in my cleaning products to make it a more enjoyable experience, not to mention non toxic!

Love it!!!! This is so important and as “The Peace, Calm and Tranquility Coach” I do Meditative Moments with Miste in which I provide space for people to mediate as well. I do it on Facebook Live and I can be found by looking for Miste Kehaunihiikapali. Sundays at 9pm CST

One of the things I love to do when things are feeling chaotic for me is meditation and yoga. No matter how my day was, I always felt a calming mood and peace afterwards! Also, and this be a little unorthodox LOL, but I go to the grocery store. That’s probably one of THE MOST chaotic places ever, but for some reason in the midst of that chaos, I feel a sense of peace. I don’t know if it’s the smell of the natural herbs and spices or the looking for the best deals, but every time I leave I always feel great about it.

My favorite thing to do is connect with nature and sometimes that means just stepping outside and looking at the beautiful sky, the cloud formations and the dancing of the trees. I meditate and do yoga but nature seems to work the best!

I’ve tried meditations many times, still couldn’t help but falling asleep. Maybe one I can do it if I keep practicing.
We'd love to hear your perspective.
