“A comprehensive guide to all things self-care, from tips on how to clean out emotional clutter to techniques to get more restful sleep . . . gorgeous.” —PureWow

Never has the idea of mindfully checking in with ourselves and creating “whole body” health—well-being that is more than simply the absence of illness—been so appealing. In this guide to self-care, wellness and beauty educator Mary Beth Janssen reveals how introspection, ritual, and love can help cure existential woes. She profiles a wide range of activities and exercises, including:
  • Karma Cleanse: How to cultivate/give loving-kindness, compassion, and forgiveness in yourself, and then pay it forward.
  • Intention, Meditation, and Breathwork Techniques: Exercises for calm and centered living.
  • Emotional Housecleaning: How to deal with unprocessed emotions “stuck” within yourself.
  • Setting Healthy Boundaries: Check-in exercises for relationships that will help you reevaluate and build your support network.
  • Tips for nourishing yourself, deep sleep, and beauty rituals to celebrate your body.


Real wellness isn’t just the absence of injury or illness: it’s a ”whole body” approach to health that anyone can add to their daily lives. Mary Beth Janssen, an experienced consultant on alternative medicine, shares a consciousness- and compassion-based system for navigating wholeness in mind, body, and soul.

“Follow her step by step instructions for a number of contemplative practices and become exquisitely mindful in your day to day life—thus more apt to make the most life-affirming choices possible. She advocates that from this place, we experience more groundedness, balance and joy.” —Mother Earth Living
