These gifts aren’t just about indulgence—they’re about creating lasting change and cultivating a lifestyle that nourishes your body, mind, and soul. So get ready to treat yourself (and those you love) to something truly transformative. Your well-being deserves it—and, we’re making it happen this holiday season!
1- For the perfume lover who’s not into toxic chemicals
I used to love wearing perfumes as a teenager – you could always tell if I had been in a room even if I was not there. When I became a nurse, I had to stop wearing perfumes so as not to trigger patient allergies. But on my days off my favorite was Nica Ricci and then I learned about all the chemicals in perfume, and I moved to natural cologne body sprays. But I still have several half-used bottles under my sink. What do you do with it? Pour it down the drain and have your drain smell forever like Boss or Burberry Body fragrance? Or do you throw it into the garbage? That doesn’t seem right… I’m still not sure what to do about that - and so they sit under my sink.)
Anyways, the great news is that Christina (my coach) recommended these new fragrances that she loves. They are clean with no toxic chemicals. And she said that I will sniff my wrists dozens of times every day when I wear it. There are 5 fragrances to choose from. This will be my Christmas gift to me so I can choose what the day’s scent will be in the New Year.

2- For sprucing up your inner world
This gift won’t gather dust. It clears out the inner cobwebs and so much more.
It’s called breathwork and I don’t think you can give a better gift (to yourself or your loved ones).
Imagine resolving the residue of childhood trauma so that it no longer impacts you in obvious or subtle ways on a regular basis.
…dramatically reducing big heavy emotions.
…giving the gift of consistently overflowing energy, joy, and vitality. ️
Well, you’d be giving all that and more with online 9D Breathwork sessions.

3- For the LGBTQ+ young adult in your life
Books can change your life, right? Especially for marginalized groups, it can be transformational to feel a sense of belonging.
Christina’s daughter, Zoe Marlett, is a fantastic writer. This year, she published her first two books.
Book #1 is called Follow Me All the Down.
Click here for the book on Amazon.ca or search the title. Zoe lives in Canada so search Amazon. Ca. It’s also available at Barnes & Noble, Chapters and other lovely places.
Book #2 The High Schooliad.
Zoe is passionately obsessed with the epic poem, The Iliad by Homer. She read over a dozen translations. Then she decided to write her own version, updated for the modern young adult called the High Schooliad.
Click here for the Amazon.ca link or just search the title and Zoe's name and you'll see the many other options
Book #3 Against All Odds.
This transformative book, with Dr. Annmarie Waite gracing the cover, is your ultimate guide to realizing your full potential. Explore uplifting stories of perseverance, proven strategies, and practical steps to turn your dreams into a tangible reality.
4 - For the Acoustic Indie music-lover
Of course, Christina also has another talented child, her son, Oakley’s. He published his music album this year. All original singer-songwriter music that Oakley wrote over the past year and worked very hard to record with a professional producer.
Oakley performs most weekends at the local farmers’ markets in Canada and people often ask about his training (he’s self-taught), and how he comes up with such heartfelt music (that’s just who he is). If you want to give the gift of heart-melting, this is it. His album is called Auburn and is available on all streaming services.
Here’s a link to it on Spotify and you can search also on your preferred platform.

7 - For the over-giving woman who needs to take better care of herself
There’s a lot of information out there about self-care, and in my humble opinion, a lot of it is just marketing to sell things like lotion. Of course, we do need to care for our bodies AND if we ignore what’s happening on the inside, no amount of lotion (or bubble baths or chocolate or facials) will help.
Self-care is an inner game first and I still don’t see a lot of information out there from that perspective. That’s exactly why I created the Fabulous 50 Program. Don’t let the name fool you - you don’t have to be in your 50s to take better care of yourself. It’s a practical approach to self-care that works from the inside out. It’s designed to change your life forever. Click here for more details
I could go on with more fantastically epic self-care gift ideas, but that’s probably good for now. I hope you feel inspired by some new ideas and with a renewed desire to take great care of yourself from the inside out. Whether you’ve been running on empty, juggling a million responsibilities, or simply seeking more peace and joy in your life, the gifts on this list are here to help you recharge, reconnect, and rediscover what it means to truly care for yourself.
I would love your feedback on these recommendations so please leave me your thoughts and comments.
Sending you so much love for a magnificent holiday season,
Your partner in health,
