Fall health and diffuser blends
Happy Fall!
     It is officially fall now! Those of us in South Florida know this as the temperature is only 85 degrees instead of 90!
There is a definite difference however!!
     Now that it isn't so hot, lets get outside more and if you haven't started walking yet, now is the time!
As a physical therapist I counsel many people on how to start getting in better shape. There are many ways, but the easiest is to start walking. My sweet Great Dane, Misha, is a great walking partner! This picture shows her standing at the door hoping I will open it and we'll go out for a walk! You can time yourself and progress your walking each day by adding minutes or measure by distance and add a block every few days. The key, as with anything, is to be consistent! Just start with 20 minutes and work your way up from there. 
     And when you get home put on that diffuser! Burning a candle is equivalent to smoking for one hour! Use Young Living's special diffuser with our pure essential oils that support all aspects of your health. My favorite fall diffuser blends are :
                                                                       5 drops Thieves                                      4 drops Christmas Spirit
                                                                       3 drops Orange                                       2 drops cinnamon bark
                                                                       2 drops nutmeg                                       2 drops orange
                                                                                                                                       1 drop nutmeg
These recipes are found in the booklet: "Just Diffuse It!"  You can order this from Growing Healthy Homes.
I wish you the best as you support your health with consistent exercise and lovely diffuser blends this season!

Meet Carol Bercaw

 
     Hi! My name is Carol and I’m a married mom to three, now grown kids! I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart Jeff for 38 years and now I’m a new Nana! I’ve been a Physical Therapist for over 30 years and a Certified Health Coach. I have been in your shoes with neck and back pain myself and have overcome it! This makes me uniquely qualified to help you! My passion is to help working moms  naturally  feel their best, live pain free and find vibrant health so they can carry out their dreams!
     Life was going at top speed as I tried to do it all and do it well! I was homeschooling 3 children, doing all household chores, cooking healthy from scratch and working part time! I had “plates spinning” all over the place. But I was stressed and exhausted, living on caffeine and sugary Star Bucks lattes just to get through the day. I was even yawning in my patients faces in the afternoon!
     Then things went from bad to worse. Out of the blue I had neck and jaw pain (TMJ) that rocked my world. I really began to struggle.Have you every felt that way?  I felt like I was letting my family down. I felt as if I wasn’t being a good enough mother and wife or a good enough PT at work! I was already spread thin and now with pain I literally couldn’t exercise or sleep and I honestly felt awful!
     Then two important things happened.
 I got some additional help with my neck and jaw pain and it finally went away. (You know even physical therapists need therapists!) Next, my good friend Cathy told me about a natural source of energy and I was able to ditch the coffee and caffeine! I started sleeping better and, oh boy, I had more energy to do my work, as well as be with my kids and not be a grump every day!
     Today I am still just as busy working and being a fun-loving Nana to little Olivia, although I still have trials I face! I have found natural ways to bring down my stress and fatigue and I can live the life I feel called to live, serving you, as a Certified National Health Coach and Physical Therapist (in the state of Florida). There are many experts in this field, however, they typically do not have the personal experience I can bring to the table, both as a therapist, health coach and mom. I am here for you! If you are ready to be free of the pain, fatigue and stress, I look forward to helping you live the life you want so you can thrive!
