Lorraine Hughes, Certified Herbalist
When we think about increasing our energy, sadly, us westerners will usually reach for something caffeinated. Lorraine Hughes, a Certified Herbalist from Wappingers Falls has a different approach, one that is rooted in Chinese teachings thousands of years old. Lorraine says “cultivating our life force increases our vitality. How we nourish ourselves is always the root of who we are and how energetic we can be without depleting our essence.” You are what you eat indeed.
Lorraine, who is the owner operator of Empowered By Nature, further explains that most people look outside themselves for the cause of their disease, when in fact they fail to recognize that only they have the power to initiate wellness.
Qi-Gong, also a discipline taught by Lorraine, is an essential modality of Chinese medicine used to assist our quest for balance of mind, body, and spirit. Her next Qi-Gong classes will be held on Feb 19th, March 5th and 19th at the Inner Light Health Spa, located at 4158 Albany Post Road in Hyde Park.

I just didn’t like the way I was feeling… low energy, mood swings, weight gain and general malaise. I met with Lorraine about a month ago and after a VERY thorough evaluation, she suggested a major dietary shift which included several vitamins and supplements — all of which made sense to me and helped me to feel like I was finally taking control of my own health and well-being!
The results were immediate — in one month, I have not had to take one ibuprofen for all the little aches and pains that kept me from falling asleep. My acid reflux is GONE! I have lost 10 pounds (motivation for me to stick with the plan!) My energy is returning, the brain fog has lifted, my yoga practice is stronger, my mood has improved significantly and I’ve discovered all kinds of new green, leafy vegetables that I love and are so healthy for me!
Eating mindfully was the piece of the puzzle that was missing in my life — Thank you Lorraine for guiding me along this new path…
