Health and Wellness Tips
Health and Wellness Tips
I created these "self care" tips because they have helped me in my own healing. I believe that anything you put energy into that invests in your own well-being is considered self care. This will look very different for everyone so take what resonates with your heart.

I have listed them in a specific order with a new concept twice per week. This is because the tips build on previous skills slowly over time. Of course, you can revisit and mix them up if you are already familiar with some of the techniques or feel drawn to others. Explore and see what works best for you.

Please note that these tips can be modified for students of all ages (from elem to high school). Feel free to reach out if you want help with this!
