Dodged the 3-hour glucose tolerance test!

karla — Mon, 07 May 2012 19:39:21 +0000

Two weeks ago, I had my first glucose tolerance test (to check for gestational diabetes), which was conducted at my OB’s office. It simply involved sugar-shocking my body with the disgusting orange beverage to the left then waiting an hour before the phlebotomist drew blood from me.

The next day, I got a call [...]

Best Oahu discovery…

Last month, we had our “babymoon” (last vacation before baby arrives) in Oahu. During our trip, I fell in love with the work of a local artist named Heather Brown.

It all started at a health food store in North Shore. While I was at the check-out counter paying [...]

I’m quite proud of myself for not chickening out by hiding behind my computer and just writing about this topic. I’ve somehow gathered the courage to shine the spotlight on my “new” face by video blogging instead. This video features a special guest, my FACIAL ACNE!

7.5 Week Update

karla — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 05:24:19 +0000

It’s been a little over week since my first OBGYN visit. This first visit was simply to confirm whether I truly am pregnant. I met with a nurse-midwife, and I didn’t realize that she was going conduct an ultrasound scan. What an amazing surprise! I heard and saw my baby’s heartbeat! Ahhhh! I can’t even [...]

Two lines showed up!

Holy crap, I’m pregnant!

For months now, my husband and I have been preparing our bodies for pregnancy. We applied many of Gabriela Rosa’s tips to optimize our health & fertility. I also invested in the Alcat food sensitivity/intolerance test, which was the best investment ever! We saw this prenatal period as an [...]

Public speaking…in front of 4,000 people!

karla — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 21:48:27 +0000

If you told me years ago that I’d one day speak on stage in front of 4,000 people at the Javits Center in NYC, I never would have believed it. I’ve always been pretty social, but not many know that I was also a professional people-pleaser who deathly feared being judged. So, having [...]

Recently, a client was expressing her gratitude for the transformation she’s experienced from working with me. I thanked her for kind words and told her that my husband deserves a lot of credit too!

So, this entry is dedicated to my amazing husband, Jeff, who has always believed [...]

Good times in San Diego

karla — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 02:27:47 +0000

I had the pleasure of visiting San Diego for the first time last week. I was there to conduct a wellness workshop & teach an intenSati class for an inspiring group of women leaders during their week-long leadership program. Even though I was there for work, I’m grateful that it didn’t feel like “work”. [...]
