What will I be eating? 

All the whole, unprocessed foods and snacks you need to keep full and fueled! This includes the abundance of seasonal produce, whole grains, healthy fats, nuts, seeds, beans, and lean proteins (if desired). 

You'll be encouraged to limit processed foods, refined flours, dairy and sugar, but will be so fueled with all the other options that you won't feel deprived. The guide will have recipes and meal suggestions that you can choose from, or you can create your own recipes (and you can share them in our FB group!)

Is this a detox? 

This is about clean eating and nourishment, not deprivation, heavy detoxing or extreme dieting. Our bodies are naturally designed to detoxify when given abundant high-quality nutrition and a break from processed, heavy foods. If this is a big jump for you from lots of processed, heavy food, you may feel a detoxing effect. I will address this and ways to alleviate it as we go through.

Can I drink coffee? 

This is not as much about what you're taking away as what you're adding in. If you're trying to break from coffee, this is a great time, as we will be building natural energy through our activities. If you feel ok with it, I suggest you take it with non-dairy milk and no sugar.

What about wine? 

Same as above. Chinese Medicine also sees wine as having some medicinal effects in the right amounts. Some women notice alcohol aggravates symptoms like hot flashes and PMS. If this is you, I suggest you go without to see the difference it makes. If you are having joyful, celebratory moment with others, go ahead...but I suggest no more than a glass or two during the cleanse.

What are the movement classes? 

Qigong is simple, flowing movement with breath. The movements will work synergistically with the food to balance and invigorate your health and energy. The classes are basic and ALL levels. They will be slow-paced and easy to follow, with clear instruction and ways to modify.

What if I can't make all the classes live? 

All the content will be recorded for you to do at your best time. 

What if I fall off the cleanse? 

You can just pick up where you left off. Plus, I will be teaching you how so-called "setbacks" can actually teach you to eat more intuitively.

Do I have to join the Facebook group? 

The group can really help you stay motivated and on track. It's a place for support where we can share our goals, challenges, wins, and recipes tried! Change is so much easier when made with and supported by others. There will also be replays of our classes there for easy access. 

Am I guaranteed to feel a difference? 

While I can't guarantee anything, if you commit to nourish your body with the recommended foods, movement and  self-healing practices, you should feel a powerful shift! This reset is all about making a choices that raise your vibration and help you feel more calm, clear, energized, aligned and empowered.
