Want to boost your health, energy, brain functioning and your skin?

Do you possibly want to lower your risk of chronic diseases and being biologically older than your chronological age?

There can be a very simple solution ~ drink water throughout your day.

Yes! It's as simple as that💧

Drinking water doesn't have to be difficult or boring. We know that water is essential for our health but sometimes that can be challenging to remember to drink enough.

A great way to motivate you to stay properly hydrated is to pretty your water up boosting the taste and the nutrients too💦

Infused water also known as Spa water offered  at health facilities and resorts, is an easy and tasty way to stay hydrated, refreshed, alert energetic and youthful!

It’s easy to make your own! Invite the kids and friends to help too. It's never too early to learn and implement healthy habits❣️

Infused water is creative, pretty and fun which TWH’S simply delicious & nutritious recipes strive to be❣️

Do you know how much water is contained in your body?

*Our bodies are composed of 60%
*Blood 90%

*Brain and heart 73%

*Lungs 83%

*Skin is 64%

*Muscles and kidneys 79%.

*Bones 31%

Looking at these percentages helps us to realize just how important water is for our health and how important it is to stay hydrated throughout the day. Even though we know we should drink our water it's easy to go about our daily activities and not give it much thought.

Warmer weather is an even more important time to stay hydrated during the hot summer months that can be even more dehydrating.

About Me

My passion about health started in my teens when I first hand saw the effects of how illness can wreck havoc in a family growing up with parents who had serious health issues. I too struggled with losing weight & developed an eating disorder that I was able to heal by educating myself on healthier habits. It’s amazing what our bodies can do when we learn to take care of them like God intended. These experiences & challenges fueled my passion to be a life long student in pursuit of learning how to create healthier lifestyles where one can thrive at their optimal best. As a mother of 3 children & a wife of a traveling husband, I quickly learned how to implement healthy habits on the go so that I could be my healthy best for my family. This has evolved into my health coaching business Thriving With Health where I coach people to integrate simple & fun healthy 'bites’ throughout their day even on their most busiest & challenging ones. You are never too busy to take care of your health & I can show you how. Everyone has busy lifestyles and living at their optimum best is not only doable but can be fun as well!
