Looking to lead a healthier life?

Welcome to the new blog! :]

When I first started this blog it was a way for me to share all of the information I was soaking up during my Master's program in Holistic Health at Georgian Court University [in Lakewood, NJ]. Now that I have completed the program and continue my personal journey, it is my intention for this blog to become a place where individuals can come and explore this world with me.

I have recognized for a while how more and more people want to make the transition to a healthier, more natural lifestyle.. but they often don't know where to start. It can be quite overwhelming! I have created 'Peaceful Transitions,' a Holistic Life Consultation business, with those individuals in mind. I guide people peacefully and easily into the amazing world of Holistic and Alternative Health and fully engage them in their own personal healing process. Additionally, as a Reiki II practitioner, I offer Reiki services to those who are interested.

While I currently live in Greenville, South Carolina, my services are not limited to this geographical location. Please contact me and we will work out the best possible way for you to receive these services, whether it be through email, telephone, Skype - whichever you prefer!

All of my consultation and Reiki services are currently being offered at NO CHARGE. Holistic Health is my passion and I believe EVERYONE should be offered the opportunity to learn more about how life changing this information can be. I strive to share this education and offer people the ability to take responsibility for their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Please contact me for your FREE Reiki and Holistic Health Consultation today!

Namaste.
Peace & Blessings,
Susan

"Beauty is skin deep" ~ But, how deep is your skin?

Just as "you are what you eat," your body becomes what you nourish it with otherwise. From lotions, to body washes, to foundations and more; your skin absorbs somewhere around 60-70% of what you put on it. Now, consider that most of us use a multitude of personal care products daily - women unarguably more so than men. The majority of products that are on store shelves today; toothpastes, baby care items, hair products, makeup... they all contain ingredients that would alarm the most conscientious consumer. But, thanks to clever marketing and labeling, the average consumer wouldn't know the difference of the harm of these ingredients. There are way too many products out there today which lead to the production of free radicals in the body, which in turn can possibly lead to cancers, premature aging, and other diseases. Not only do these products lead to long-term damages, but their short term effects can be seen as well. From skin rashes to severe allergic reactions to however else your body may individually and not-so-apparently react and manifest side-effects. So, I leave you all with this brief introduction to the harms and health risks of repeated exposures to chemicals commonly used in our personal care products. Below I have included a number of sites to help you explore more about these chemicals, why they are allowed in our products, and how you can inform yourself further on this subject. Good luck and share the knowledge! :)
