Truly Transform your Health by Reconnecting to the Guidance of Nature

~ with Support Every Step of the Way


TRIMESTER 1:
Meet the Habits

Begin to learn the 10 Habits, knowing you don’t have to change overnight or be perfect.

Learn about habit-changing science and ways to work with your brain to create lasting shifts.

Start to feel some positive changes right away in your moods, your digestion and your self awareness. Get inspired by program members who are a trimester ahead of you and their progress.

TRIMESTER 2:
Work the Habits

Now that you know the habits, begin to play with them, finding what works in your unique life. 

Notice when you are in and out of integrity and learn to shift more quickly to come back into alignment, resulting in feeling better, stronger and more confident. 

Observe how your emotions, thoughts and health are becoming more balanced, and how your vision of your ideal self may be shifting.

TRIMESTER 3:
Live the Habits

Now you’re hitting your stride – the habits feel familiar, resulting in more happiness and physical strength. The mind is clear, and ease is coming into your life.

You struggle less to shift your behaviors towards your ideal. You are finding deeper levels of energy, your emotions are more positive and you feel more consistently inspired – and you inspire the newest cohort joining the program.

Your body and mind have become vibrant, grounded and resilient. You begin to discover a deeper alignment to your life purpose, and more clarity about what that purpose is.
