NOTABLE QUOTES:

“Your skin is a reflection of your internal health. So, what you see on the surface of your skin is an invitation to get really curious about what’s happening in your life.”

“Everything in your environment that can impact how your skin functions, how your body functions, and how you function in your skin is in relationship with each other.”

“Most people go around thinking there’s something wrong with them; I must be broken. And you’re not broken. You just maybe have been misinformed. Maybe no one told you. And there’s an opportunity to learn.”

“Health is really about the integration of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.”

“What you see on your skin is an invitation from your body to get really curious about what’s happening in your life, in your relationships, with the environment that you’re in, and the products that you’re using.”

“Our body has its own language. And the invitation is, can you be open and willing to learn the language of your body? Because that is the key to the kingdom of enhancing your relationships, relationship with your first year yourself first, and then your relationship with others.”
