During winter, our bodies naturally crave heavier, denser foods to stay warm and grounded. But as the seasons shift, many of us feel the need to lighten up — both physically and emotionally. A spring detox is about supporting the liver, lymph, and digestive system in releasing what no longer serves us, while replenishing with vibrant nutrients and life force energy.

Is There a Deeper Healing Calling You?

If you’re noticing something deeper surfacing this season — an emotional wound, chronic imbalance, or unresolved core issue — it may be your body and spirit asking for true healing. Spring is a time of renewal, and not just for the physical body. It’s also a powerful season to do the inner work.

Whether it’s energetic stagnation, trauma, or spiritual disconnection, I can support you in identifying and releasing what’s holding you back. Through intuitive guidance, frequency therapy, and personalized healing sessions, we’ll work together to help you step into spring lighter, clearer, and fully aligned.

Detox Beyond the Physical

True detox is a full-spectrum process. Spring is a natural time for a mental, emotional, and spiritual reset, too.

  • Mind: Clear mental clutter. Journal, meditate, or walk in nature to calm the noise and invite inspiration.
  • Emotions: Let what’s been stuck move through you. Cry, dance, talk, or express — give it space to shift.
  • Spirit: Reconnect with what lights you up. Whether it’s prayer, time with animals, or quiet reflection, ask yourself: What do I want to grow this season?

How I Support You Through Seasonal Detox

At Inspired Living, I offer personalized detox support that goes far beyond food. Together, we assess your physical, emotional, and energetic landscape. I use tools like muscle testing, full-body detox protocols, customized herbal formulas, and Healy frequency sessions to clear blocks and restore balance.

For those seeking a deeper level of transformation, I also offer Equine Healing Sessions with Eyrie, my intuitive horse partner. These sessions combine energy work, aura clearing, and the sacred presence of the horse to help you detox emotionally and spiritually — releasing old patterns and calling in new intentions.

And if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of getting all your nutrients from food — you’re not alone. Life gets busy. That’s why I help you prioritize and simplify, bridging any nutritional gaps with whole food-based Standard Process supplements that gently support detoxification and healing:

  • Cruciferous Complete – concentrated cruciferous vegetables to aid liver detox pathways and hormonal balance.
  • Chlorophyll Complex – supports healthy liver and gallbladder function and provides a rich source of antioxidants.
  • Gut Flora Complex – helps reset the gut microbiome and reduce overgrowth of unwanted bacteria or yeast.
  • ProSynbiotic – a powerful blend of probiotics and prebiotics for gut health and regularity
  • LivCo and Livton – classic herbal formulas that support liver regeneration, bile flow, and healthy detoxification.
  • 21-Day Purification Program – a complete, food-based reset that combines clean eating with supportive supplements and shakes to give your entire system a gentle but effective cleanse
  • Cat’s Claw – a powerful immune-modulating herb known for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and gut-healing properties — especially supportive when dealing with stealth infections, gut dysbiosis, or chronic inflammation.

These tools can help bridge the gap when your diet isn’t perfect — or when you just need a little extra help moving things along or killing off some bad guys in your gut.  Avoiding or minimizing inflammatory foods like processed sugars, dairy, alcohol, gluten, refined oils, and anything artificial will make you feel SO MUCH BETTER! Choose nourishment that feels light, clean, and alive.

FAQ: How is Your Detox Process Different?

Q: Why is personalized holistic detox work the best? Why not just follow a typical cleanse or grab a detox tea from the store?

A: Because I don’t just offer a “one-size-fits-all” solution. We’re diving deep into your body’s unique needs and addressing not only the physical but emotional and energetic blocks that can slow down your detox. That means muscle testing, intuitive guidance, and a personalized approach that helps you truly release toxins, boost energy, and restore balance — at your pace and with your body’s rhythm.

Q: How do you work with your clients?

A: Here’s a quick rundown of how my process works:

Initial Assessment – We start with a detailed consultation where I assess your current health, lifestyle, and detox needs. This includes reviewing your diet, any health concerns, and energetic blocks you might be holding onto.

Muscle Testing & Energetic Healing – I use muscle testing to pinpoint specific areas of imbalance or stagnation in your body. This helps me recommend the most effective herbs, supplements, and lifestyle changes. I also incorporate Healy frequency therapy to clear emotional or energetic blocks, resetting your system for healing.

Customized Detox Plan – Based on our findings, I design a personalized detox strategy. This could include Standard Process supplements, nourishing foods, and specific herbs, all tailored to your body’s unique needs.

Ongoing Support & Adjustments – Detox isn’t just a one-time event. I provide continuous support, adjusting your plan as needed to ensure you feel lighter, more energized, and deeply connected with your body.

Q: How does your approach differ from others?

A: Unlike typical detox programs that focus solely on “cleansing” through restrictive diets or fasts, my approach is holistic. I address your body, mind, and spirit. Detox is a journey, and we work together to clear emotional baggage, release mental clutter, and physically support your body’s natural healing process.

Rather than pushing you through a quick cleanse that may leave you feeling deprived or off-balance, I help you make sustainable changes that honor where you are now while supporting long-term health.

Q: Who can benefit from your detox services?

A: Whether you’re feeling sluggish, battling digestive issues, struggling with chronic stress, or just need a seasonal reset, I help women who want a deeper, more effective detox — one that clears not just the body, but the mind and spirit too.

Q: How do I get started?

A: If this sounds like the kind of detox you need, send me a DM! Let’s chat about your specific goals and see how I can help you feel more vibrant, aligned, and energized for the season ahead.

A Gentle Approach for Lasting Results

Remember, detox doesn’t have to mean deprivation. It’s about returning to simplicity, reconnecting with your body’s wisdom, and aligning with the energy of the season. Be kind to yourself. Move your body, breathe deeply, eat vibrantly, and let go of the layers you no longer need.

This spring, invite in a full-spectrum refresh. Your body, mind, and spirit will thank you.

Ready for Your Spring Reset?

As the days grow longer and nature begins to bloom, spring is calling you to refresh your body, mind, and spirit. Not with fads or extremes, but with nourishment, intention, and support. Take the first step toward your most vibrant, aligned self.
