Introducing Top Ayurvedic Skincare- Plus, A Hormone-Healthy Mix You Will Love

July 5, 2020 by Ivy Chan

I have been writing this post in my mind for weeks, but it’s been unusually busy recently that I simply could not find the time to actually type it. Alternatively, I’m getting worse at time-management, but I don’t want to dwell on that if you don’t mind. We have more important things to talk about!…

How I stopped emotional eating, and how you can, too!

January 9, 2020 by Ivy Chan

Imagine feeling wonderful every time you have a meal because you never eat more than you need, and only eat when you are hungry. No guilt, no shame; not “heavy” or “sick”.  Imagine that every meal is a blessing which fuels your body and feeds your mind. Imagine not obsessing over food, not being controlled…

clean products for big appetites

September 29, 2019 by Ivy Chan

Let me tell you one thing: I had no idea what hunger meant until I started breastfeeding. I always had a big appetite (it’s a family thing). Then came the pregnancy hunger everyone was warning me about. But none of that can compare to breastfeeding hunger. All of a sudden, this mama found herself unable…

Want to quit coffee? Try these instead

September 9, 2019 by Ivy Chan

  I loved coffee. Until I didn’t. I grew to like the taste, I liked that it woke me up, but more than anything, I loved the whole ritual in the morning. And I know there are health benefits to it. (If you want to reduce your cholesterol levels, though, new research shows that you…

Sources On Plant-Based, Non-Toxic Living

February 17, 2018 by Ivy Chan

Okay, I became vegan for the animals, which is something I am proud of. But vegan does not necessarily mean healthy. Although I was eating healthy most of my life, there was a period of emotional hardship, which led to anxiety, which led to a horrible set of eating habits, which I managed to cure! Shortly…

HELLO REAL LIFE!

Welcome! My name is Ivy. Classical with a twist, married to the love of my life, a proud mum of two little lions, and one little human. We have recently moved to the gorgeous state of Washington.

My practice, Ivy Chan Wellness, unites ancient wisdom with modern knowledge. I was born into a family in the Middle East, my roots run deep with the knowledge of my ancestors—nomadic healers who passed down their wisdom through the generations. But my path led me on a different journey, one that would intertwine my passion for education with my quest for healing.

With a Ph.D. in Sociology, and a passion for nurturing minds, I have always seen myself as an educator. I believe in empowering individuals to become their own healers, rewrite their stories and redefine their relationship with their bodies, their hearts, and their overall well-being.

Through years of study and self-discovery, I have cultivated expertise in women’s health and wellness. My focus lies in helping my sisters find their most powerful selves at every stage of their lives. I want us not just to survive, but to thrive!

At Ivy Can Wellness, you will discover a sanctuary for transformation and growth. It is a place where the ancient traditions of healing seamlessly blend with the latest knowledge in Ayurvedic nutrition, yoga therapy, and holistic wellness. There, you will find the tools, resources, and guidance you need to embark on your personal journey of healing and self-discovery.

Shakingmytofu, on the other hand, aims to make plant-based life convenient, affordable, and adaptable for everyone. I will be happy if I can bring a little more light, health, and peace to the daily life. Feel free to spend time, and have a look at the recipes, lists of plant-based sources (from snacks to clothing), images and articles.

I invite you to embark on this extraordinary journey of self-discovery and well-being with me. Together, let’s shape our stories, rewrite our narratives, and embrace a life of vitality, joy, and balance.

Contact me anytime with queries, suggestions, and collaboration ideas at shakingmytofu@gmail.com or simply by filling out the form below. Look forward to hearing from you!
