Finding a Quiet Still Space at MD Anderson’s Integrative Medicine Center
Last week I presented a workshop for the faculty and staff at MD Anderson’s Integrative Medicine Place of Wellness. It was one of those workshops that even though I knew my content (like the back of my hand)– I was a little nervous as I glanced around the room. It was a good-sized room filled up with really intelligent people, and all who were experts in my subject matter!
Famous yogi Vanda Scaravelli
Before I had much time to ponder being nervous, I was up in front of the group talking about my connection with Lorenzo Cohen, the head of the Integrative Medicine Department. Lorenzo and I serendipitously met through a mutual friend when I moved to Houston about 8 years ago. When we were introduced, neither one of us realized we had a common denominator. Then through conversation it came to light that we shared a similar feeling about a famous yogi– one of my most inspirational yoga teachers, Vanda Scaravelli. Vanda Scaravelli happens to be Lorenzo’s grandmother! Vanda was the inspiration for my beginning stages of studying yoga while I lived in London. She wrote the brilliant book Awakening the Spine, which still stays near my bedside table. [Read more...]
Creating a Holiday of Healthy Comfort & JOY
2010
The recent engagement announcement of Prince William and Kate Middleton, made me stop and think. If I were in Kate’s shoes, how would it feel to become a real-life princess?
Living in England for fifteen years my family and I have a strong connection with things British. Castles and princesses go with the territory. Last week I had the opportunity to feel like a princess. Invited to speak for the Junior League at the enchanting River Oaks home of Terri and John Haven’s (Owners of Cal-A-Vie Spa and Resort) made me feel graceful, elegant– princess-like.
Creating healthy peace, comfort and joy all season long
The setting of my speaking venue was nothing short of magic. A crisp evening’s excitement in the air, we mingled on the terrace before entering into the 14th century chapel (imported from France) where Terri and I spoke about Creating a Holiday of Healthy Comfort and Joy. Terri lead with her personal stories and healthy tips from Cal-A-Vie’s chef and nutritionist. I talked about how to create more peace, comfort and joy through the season.
