The Chakra Fix is a modern guide to understanding and balancing your chakras. Juliette Thornbury offers effective advice on healing, nurturing, and activating positive energy to raise your vibrations. Beyond understanding what chakras are, Thornbury offers many techniques on how to balance and restore our energy. These techniques include the use of crystals, affirmations, essential oils, teas, and more.
The Chakra Fix is my new must-have book. Everything is minimal and simplistic in the best way. It’s incredibly effective and offers the right amount of information without overwhelming the reader. The images in this book are absolutely stunning. They fit perfectly and greatly compliment the style of this book. Whether you’re familiar with chakras or just learning, I believe everyone can benefit from the information in here. This is a book that you can refer back to again and again should you need that extra love and care. I cannot wait to get my hands on a physical copy! Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
2) You Can Have a Better Period by Le’Nise Brothers
Publication Date: March 8, 2022
Pre-order here
A practical guide to understanding your cycle and balancing your hormones with nutrition, lifestyle changes and yoga for calmer, less painful periods. Written by Le’Nise Brothers, a nutritional therapist, yoga teacher and popular women’s health coach, You Can Have A Better Period is a straight-talking resource to help women understand their menstrual cycles.
goodreads
You Can Have a Better Period by Le’Nise Brothers is a practical health guide to having pain-free and calmer periods. Brothers is a registered nutritionist that specializes in women’s health, hormones, and the menstrual cycle. Many of us have dealt with painful, emotional, and heavy periods. Rather than accepting what we’ve considered to be the “norm,” Brothers encourages us to start changing the way we look at our periods. You Can Have a Better Period offers a ton of scientific information to help us understand each phase of our cycle. Brothers offers advice on nutrition, diagrams, charts, stress management, and more. The information in this book is meant to bring on long-lasting and sustainable changes to our menstrual health.
I am so glad I came across this book. It can be overwhelming at first due to the amount of information that’s presented, but it’s meant to be one that you can refer to again and again. We are slowly but surely starting to openly discuss the topic of menstruation, which has been viewed as taboo for so long. These important discussions greatly benefit those who are looking to understand their cycle and the changes happening within without fear or embarrassment. Thank you to NetGalley and Watkins Publishing for this advanced readers copy (eARC) in exchange for my honest review.

As someone who was diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety for years, Shannon Kaiser knows that it is. Through her own spiritual journey, she cured herself by awakening her faith and intuition—and since then has helped so many like herself.

Return to You is a self-help book by life coach, Shannon Kaiser. Kaiser shares her personal struggles with clinical depression and anxiety. Through this period of worry, fear, and self-doubt, she found solace through her spiritual journey. Return to You stresses the importance of making peace and love a priority. Kaiser presents 11 spiritual lessons and effectively encourages us to go within, understand our emotions, and detach from negative patterns.
I truly enjoyed this book from beginning to end. As someone who is also very spiritual, Kaiser nailed every single chapter in this book. After discovering these lessons on my own journey, Return to You acts as a tool that I can reference for gentle reminders every now and again. For those who are starting their spiritual journey, this book is a perfect guide for seeing things through a new perspective. I recommend for readers to really take their time with each lesson to properly absorb the information. When it comes to creating new habits, nothing is learned overnight. Thank you to NetGalley and Sounds True for this eARC in exchange for my honest review.
