While in college on Oahu, HI, I underwent a major transformation. After mental and physical health hardships, I ended up going through a long, hard journey of self-discovery and self-improvement (one I’m still on and that’s certainly never-ending). From changes in my diet and nutrition, reading books and listening to many podcasts, reconnecting with myself through nature, and swapping out harmful products for non-toxic alternatives, I’ve learned that true health and wellness combines the mind, body, and soul.
I started this blog because I felt overwhelmed by the amount of information out there and wanted to create a hub of resources and recommendations. I also hope this blog can create a community of people who want to improve their health and the health of our planet. While I’m no expert on nutrition or sustainability, I’ll do my best to share what I’ve learned and what works for me. It’s time to start paying more attention to how we care for ourselves, mind, body, and soul.
Hi! I’m Sophie :)
Pillars of holistic wellness
-

Emotional Health
While all aspects of holistic wellness intertwine, emotional health may be the most important pillar. Emotional health means working through past trauma, developing emotional intelligence, having a toolbox of ways to cope with daily life, learning how to properly process emotions, and more. Creating more emotional health could include journaling, therapy, working through blocks, managing stress, or simply allowing yourself to feel your feelings! Just like we need to digest our food properly, we have to digest our emotions in order to be healthy overall.

Spiritual Growth
However you define spirituality, whether you identify with a specific religion or aren’t quite sure what you believe, it’s an essential pillar of our overall well-being. For you, this could mean going to church, meditating, or simply walking in nature. Regardless of how you think about spirituality, it’s important to incorporate it into our lives to improve our health & well-being.

Diet & Nutrition
What we put in our bodies has a huge impact on our overall health & well-being. From what we’re eating, how we combine our food, our digestion, and the energy of that food, our diet plays an extremely important role in our wellness journey.
