Ep:145 Novel Wellness | Virginia Reese Sep 10, 2018

In this episode we sit down with Unveil Your Wellness Mentor Virginia Reese and hear about her journey through health.

After being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in my mid-twenties, a formerly casual interest in health and wellness became my primary focus. My education and background in biological research gave me an advantage in navigating the complex maze of chronic illness. As I rebuilt my life and returned to working, my job with the nation's largest disability program gave me a perspective into the lives of many thousands of others who struggle to get well. This realization compelled me to want to help others on their journey to health. I want to use my training, knowledge and experience to assist my clients in becoming their best and healthiest selves. I will provide practical and actionable information, tools to achieve success and most importantly, hope for the future. My approach in working with clients includes targeting where they need support, empowering them to find the “advocate within themselves”, and by developing a new story around who they are and how they can live their healthiest, happiest life. The journey to wellness can seem confusing and discouraging, but with the direction of a trained and empathetic guide, my clients will feel supported, strengthened and confident they can achieve their best selves.

Ep:138 Paleo (fx) CEO Michelle Norris Jul 08, 2018

Michelle is a former corporate warrior, trained chef and multi-potentialite whose personal health issues and struggles with traditional medical orthodoxy inspired her to upend the way the world tackles health, wellness and prosperity. She soon became one of Paleo’s most outspoken evangelists, then co-founded and is now CEO of Paleo f(x)TM, the largest Paleo event in the world. She’s a passionate speaker, motivator and guiding light to those seeking deliverance from a broken healthcare system and disabled economic system.

Having left the corporate grind far behind, she is now a serial entrepreneur in the health and wellness space, and a tireless firebrand for advancing the Paleo movement; a cultural reawakening of self-empowerment for the 21st century.

Having survived the death of her 22 year old daughter, Michelle knows what it’s like to fight back from overwhelming loss. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, she used tragedy as a catalyst for her to “put up or shut up”, and follow through with her vision of leaving the economic status quo behind, and becoming a self-made entrepreneur. All this, at the pit of the housing market crash of 2008. Her belief, you can always find beauty among the ashes.

Amaris opened an online shop where people can shop for their own unique treasures and get in on the magic. “Working with crystals every day is an honor and total dream, and I love being surrounded by their energy,” she says.

Ep:130 Essential Oil Masters | Plants as Medicine May 16, 2018

Husband/wife team Cindy Lu and Earl Martin founded Malibu Essential Oils in 2013. After experiencing profound personal benefits, their curiosity led them to become Internationally Certified Aromatherapists. Now they blend both their classical training with modern essential oil usage which includes internal applications. They are education driven, teaching classes weekly in various locations. They believe that aromatherapy is a healing art and they enjoy helping their clients choose the purest oils available and let them develop their own personal style that they feel is safe, beautiful and effective. As master blenders, their unique oil offerings such as High on Life (an energizing mood booster), Brain On (for mental clarity), Deep Sleep and Sex Mix are sought after week after week. They also create customized blends based on client needs, scent preferences and muscle testing.

Currently mainstays at the Malibu Farmer's Market on Sundays they also pop up in various locations and events by request. With clients worldwide, private consultations are available in person, via phone or Skype. Their mentor program trains oil enthusiasts to become a part of their team, build their own essential oil businesses or become healers in their own homes. Their mission is driven by the proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

"Googling 'essential oils' is a rabbit hole of unregulated yet FDA restricted advice that is hard to decipher in its contradictions and opinions. We like to teach people their options and how to find the most reliable information and purest oils. Don't let the confusion and the ineffectiveness of many store bought brands discourage you. Therapeutic grade oils are versatile and gentle, yet potent enough to effect real change. We are here to help."

Cindy Lu is also the author of the internationally acclaimed book, The Four Man Plan, (thefourmanplan.com), a Love Coach and Intuitive Interdimensional Guide and spent over 20 years as a professional performer.

Earl is an Emmy nominated post-production sound mixer with credits such as Curb Your Enthusiasm, Wilfred and The League. Earl is very excited to have just entered into the Primal Blueprint health coaching program.
