Welcome to my podcast! I am Justine- I am a nurse, wellness coach, yoga teacher and an overall high strung person. My nursing career has evolved to be highly wellness focused which has given me the chance to learn a lot along the way about stress and the importance of self care. Over the past several years I have put together a lot of material on preventative health and I have written and delivered many guided meditations. This podcast is another way for me to share some of that with others! Join me each week as I upload one of my guided meditation on Monday to help you start your week with peace and intention.
Guided imagery ☀️ practice with a little gratitude and intention thrown in! Take a deep breath and then let it go! Enjoy ✌️
Todays practice is all about you, letting go of the things you can't control, having gratitude and make space to set goals and intentions!
Mid week meditation! Happy Wednesday keep practicing and taking care of yourself! Enjoy ❤️
Take this time to focus on your well being and set your intention to reflect whatever you need to feel your best self! ❤️
