“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
- Eden Phillpotts
Cup Half Full is a newsletter & online community where slow living and natural health meet… I call it: ✨Slow Health✨
…and, I even created a mini-guide on it to help you get started!
What will you find here?
A mix of nature’s wisdom, modern science, positivity, stories, and a pinch of fun!
I share my journey as as a doctor, expat, and crunchy mom, along with research and real-world advice on creating more joy, mindfulness, & connection to the natural world.
Finding calm amidst the chaos isn’t easy, but it is WORTH IT!
A sampling of recent posts:
Moving to Europe wasn’t the answer
How to Increase Your Energy (answered here & here)
Mindfulness in Motherhood (discussed here & here)
How to Enjoy a Walking for Health (see post)
Health Benefits of creative journaling (see post)
Who am I?
I’m Chesica! I’m a crunchy (health-conscious) mom from the wilds of the Pacific Northwest (now based in Germany), a doctor specialising in preventative health with a master’s degree in nutrition & functional medicine. My background is in life coaching, human and equine psychology and while I occasionally still do a little horse whispering, my passion is making wellness simple and showing everyone the benefits of living in connection with nature.
If you want to learn more about me, check out my Introduction post or reach out in the comments! I’m excited to support & inspire you in curating a wholesome lifestyle!
May your cup always be (at least) half full. ☕️❤️
