Our home is where we live, grow, and connect. Life can get chaotic, especially with children in the mix! Here’s some expert insight on how to turn your home into a haven of holistic health and maintain lasting peace of mind.
As a business owner and mother of four, I’ve watched my gym membership gather dust over the years. My dedication to wellness has never wavered—even through three pregnancies in three years—but finding time for a 90-minute gym session became impossible.
At 35, when I was single, I had what now feels like endless time to hit the gym, run a 10k, and attend a yoga class—all in one day. I’ve always loved staying active, but with three little ones and a blended family, every moment counts.
Time has always been valuable, but now I feel its preciousness more deeply than ever. With both my husband and I working from home, we’ve adopted strategies to keep our space clean, clear, and healthy. Our goal is to model wellness and leadership for our children, grounded in a family philosophy that supports excellence.
We’ve chosen happiness, freedom, and health as the pillars of our family life. Simple strategies help us stay aligned with our values and function at our best—for ourselves and our kids.
A clean, spacious, and vibrant home inspires healthy habits. Minimize or eliminate clutter to create breathing room and boost your energy. Every inch of clutter drains your vitality. More space means more life force. I also clean with vinegar and essential oils for a natural touch.
Designate a corner or room in your home for holistic health. This space should energize and uplift you. Fill it with art, natural materials, sunlight, essential oils, and items that support your well-being. Crystals, yoga mats, and fitness tools are great additions. Keep it toxin-free and full of positive energy.
Limit electronics in the bedroom to improve sleep. Remove as many gadgets as possible—artificial lights and alarm clocks can disrupt melatonin production. I advise clients to keep bedrooms tech-free for better rest. Quality sleep is essential for health, and devices near your bed interfere with it.
A fridge full of vibrant, whole foods can uplift your body and spirit. Clear out anything that doesn’t serve your health. Stock it with fresh, life-giving foods. A fridge detox and refuel can make your cells feel alive and grateful.
Remember, your home is your sanctuary. Who wants toxic energy in their sacred space? It takes patience and discipline, but daily acts of love and kindness can transform your home.
When we treat our home as a living, vibrant space, we become more conscious of our words. Reducing negativity, gossip, and complaints is the first step. Replace them with respect, integrity, kindness, and wellness. Your home—and your body—will thank you.
For my husband and me, the most important part has been practicing extreme patience and kindness during the transition.
Creating a holistic home is simple, but it requires deep commitment—not just to health, but to living your best life with the precious time you have.
