Welcome!
I am so happy that you have been guided here, this Spring Cleanse has been on my mind for several weeks and I am personally fully committed to pressing the 'START' button to get going with it. Over the past couple of years since the upheaval of our normal flow of life, I have been struggling to reestablish my self-discipline and align with practices that enable me to feel vibrant and balanced so I am personally ready to say 'YES' and get back on track with treating my body like the temple that it is!
One of those practices that I used to stay committed to was seasonal cleansing, particularly a Spring cleanse. Since settling back in the Midwest where the winters tend to be dark and dreary lending to more chilling on the couch with Netflix than being active, I have realized how vital this practice is to help remove the stagnation of the winter and reinvigorate my body for Spring!
I welcome you to join together to share in a special community of support and accountability to refresh all of our minds, bodies, homes and Spirits!

Why Cleanse?Eating and cleansing with the seasons allows you to tap into the rhythms of nature, and creates harmony with Mother Earth. During the winter months, we are more stagnant and driven towards comfort foods that tax the liver and the gallbladder, we can thank ALL of the sugary and indulgent winter holidays for that special gift.
With Spring in the air, your body, mind, and spirit can feel the new growth getting ready to blossom from the Earth and calls for a release of the stagnation. Every season presents blessings and challenges, through seasonal cleansing at least two times a year, going from winter into the spring and going from the summer into fall or fall into winter, we align ourselves with the opportunity to have optimum health and vitality for life. |

What kind of program is it?The 21-day Spring Cleanse is designed to support the body in a detoxification of the liver and gallbladder, for the shifting of the seasons through hydration, whole food nutrition, omission of several culprits for toxicity and inflammation, mindfulness, community, education and new-self commitments.
This cleanse is special because it goes beyond the body to include weekly meet-ups for education on local healthy food options, weekly action items to help you detoxify your home of harmful chemicals, support for freshening up your cabinets and closets, and will enhance your mindset through the use of daily mindfulness moments. By the conclusion of cleanse you will not only feel revitalized in your body, but also in your home and with your community. A program designed to POWER up the FRESH in your LIFE! |

Is there fasting involved?This program is presented as a 21-day nutritional cleanse. Through the use of healthy whole foods and lemon or grapefruit essential oils, we will support the body to detoxify the liver and gallbladder. The first week you will only be making changes to the first part of your day. The second week you will be adding on the middle of your day. By the last week, you will have a regimen to follow for the beginning, middle, and end of your day. While fasting definitely has its purpose in many ways for nutritional health, this cleansing program does not include fasting. You will be well fed throughout the 21-days.

Cleanse Overview
*Locations and meet-up times are somewhat tentative and weather dependent, flexibility is appreciated*
April 8th - First Meet-Up
We will be meeting at the Indoor Batavia Farmer's Market to kickstart our cleansing community together, the market runs from 9 am until 12 pm. We will plan to meet at 9:30 am (if you cannot arrive at that time, no worries, just let me know what time you can make it). This is a great opportunity to connect with local food resources that are healthy and intentional. I will be distributing your essential oil on this day so that you have it ready to go on Monday for the start of the cleanse. We may be practicing outdoor yoga during this morning as well if weather allows for it outdoors by the river. AND you will also connect with a cleansing buddy, if you don't already have one joining you for the cleanse, accountability is key and while we will have a cleansing community, having a buddy to check-in with and develop a friendship with will help along the way. If you cannot attend, this does not mean that you cannot do the cleanse, I can get the essential oil to you a different way and connect you with a cleansing buddy!
