At the start of LSW I was not sure what I was looking for. I knew I had painful periods, a hectic lifestyle, irregular eating and was looking for a bit of clarity and coaching for those areas of my life. I knew if I had some lifestyle coaching I could possible see some dramatic changes in my life. I already owned a successful Pilates studio in Fairfield County, have a wonderful husband of 1 1/2 years and am in great shape...I truly thought I had everything under control. I later found that this control was what was causing all the problems!

Soon after starting my LSW program, I discovered that my lack of self-care was making me a resentful, dehydrated, undernourished woman. Following their simple recommendations, within 6 sessions at LSW I had developed a much better relationship with my body and my husband because I was honoring myself. It was wonderful! When I actually slowed down and looked at where my life was going I realized that I wanted a baby. This was NOT what I had expected to find out about myself through this program, BUT, of course all the time honored for myself and my husband....we were pregnant within a month! So here I am now 3 months pregnant, not at all where my mind told me I would be before starting the program.

What I have taken from this program ( and I'm not done yet!) is to honor my cycle, my own rhythm, and listen to my heart instead of my head. My head would have given me all the reasons not to get pregnant and if I hadn't started listening to my body and my heart, I know that I would not be pregnant now. I did not know how to access the tools reach this choice before Laughing Sage and I am so grateful for this program. This baby is on it's way because I made space for it. There was no room with my hectic, controlling lifestyle 6 months ago. ! I know that I will be a successful mother, wife and business owner because I have been shown how to use the tools that I already had. I feel like I am in the flow of my life now.

In tough times, keep the focus on YOU

There's so much going on in the world right now - the economic downturn, the presidential transition, the environment - and all of it certainly deserves our attention - but these issues should not STEAL you away from your first priority, which is a commitment to your own well-being. It's so easy to get caught up in the sensationalism of the news and the stress that it brings - but it is up to you to decide how much of it will occupy your thoughts on a day to day basis. Certainly give it some thought - it's healthy, it allows you to adjust to the world around you on a personal level - but don't abandon your self-care during these moments of greater stress. Doing this only leads to more struggle. With time, the economy will correct itself, the new president will take over, more businesses will go green, and where will the state of your health be when the pendulum swings? Will you be entering better times with good health or find yourself with a health crisis to attend to? The behavior and habits you cultivate now will dictate your future reality.

We at Laughing Sage not only are here to help support you in your desire to keep doing good things for your health, but we also appreciate that you harbor a belief that has you pull back on investing financially in yourself when things get crazy out there in the big, big world. SO, in honor of you and your health future, we have not only created 3 amazing new shorter sweeter programs, but we also sweetened the pricing so you can still enjoy taking care of yourself while the world is going through it's more stressful cycle. From Cooking Classes for the kitchen goddess in you, to virtual group programs on how to have a better relationship and better sex life, to bringing back an old favorite - the life changing Metamorphosis group teleclass - there is something for everyone's need and budget.

Listen, stress happens, layoffs happen, budgets tighten, the world rethinks how it's doing things, and we all have to adjust - just remember that this too shall pass and how you treat yourself along the wilder ride is absolutely up to you. We hope we see you in our newer programs!!

Supporting your best future health,
