November Gratitude Experience Starts Soon!

Join us as we practice expressing gratitude!

Would you like improved sleep, healthier skin, lowered blood pressure, and stronger relationships? All these are proven benefits of a consistent gratitude practice!

When times are tough, it’s easy to get stuck in a loop of self pity. When you fill your brain and your heart with gratitude, when you truly appreciate all the things, small and large, that you have to be thankful for, something magical happens!

Don’t believe me? Try this experiment with us for 5 days, then let me know how you feel.

  • What: Gratitude Experience
  • When: Five days – Sunday November 21st through Thursday November 25th (that’s Thanksgiving)
  • Where: Online
  • Why: Improve your outlook to improve your experience
  • Who: YOU!
  • How: Email me at Anne@FluidPortland.com and I will add you to our list. You receive one video prompt from me each day (like this short video below).

We kick off our challenge with a guided meditation Saturday November 20th at 11:30 am Portland Oregon time.

Here’s the zoom link:

Topic: LIVE Gratitude Meditation
Time: Nov 20, 2021 11:30 AM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

Join Zoom Meeting
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88132230829?pwd=cTNBUWMwSnJwTENpWVpFTVZGd0ZUUT09

Meeting ID: 881 3223 0829
Passcode: 202070

On Saturday we will outline what you can expect over the next five days. Each day, Sunday through Thursday, you will receive an email with a short guided meditation video from me with a theme (people, pets, nature…).

You decide how you want to express your gratitude. You may sit and meditate, journal privately, write actual paper thank you notes and mail them (yes – like in an envelope with a stamp), send a text or email, or call your special people on the phone. You get to decide what is best for you.

My hope is that on turkey day you will express gratitude to some of your favorite people in person (and if you’re not doing in person Thanksgiving this year, you can always call me and tell me how much you appreciate me!).

That’s it!

  • Watch a short video
  • Sit with me for 5 minutes each day
  • Express your gratitude in the way you chose

Money back guarantee if you don’t feel better by the end of this! (I’m kidding, the challenge is free).

Fill out the form below and I’ll add you to our gratitude list!

Live Interview With Elise Holcombe – Whole Body Health

Catch up on our chat with Elise Holcombe and find out what she thinks we may be neglecting when it comes to whole body health!


Elise is probably the only Registered Nurse who can’t stand the sight of blood! She figured this out pretty quickly and was fortunate to discover an amazing career in the Clinical Research Industry. She spent 25 years leading global teams in bringing new pharmaceuticals and devices to market. 

About 10 years ago Elise discovered her passion – body building. This sparked a journey into natural health and something called biohacking to enhance physical performance. The more she learned, the stronger her desire grew to help people become healthier.

In 2019 Elise retired from the pharmaceutical research industry to open OsteoStrong – a health and wellness center that focuses on helping people all over Portland get better bones, better strength, and better balance in just 10 minutes, one day per week.

Getting Your Sh!t Together

If this past year has taught us anything, it’s that life is valuable, love is the answer, and that your leadership is needed. It’s important to take a breath, step back from the business of life, and think about what matters most to you.

Because we care about you and your wellbeing, Heather Stewart, Kristie Hill, and I have gotten together to create a FREE workshop series called Getting Your Sh!t Together.

We’d love for you to join us for these three 30-minute FREE workshops where you’ll learn some simple tools to help you prioritize YOU and find balance in your Career Health, Physical Health, and Financial Health. 

We will be the only ones on video so feel free to eat your lunch, go for a walk, or fold laundry while we chat about some ways to prioritize YOU.

  • 10/07/2021 12-12:30pm PT: In our second workshop, Anne will discuss common misperceptions around how best to take care of our physical bodies.
  • 10/14/2021 12-12:30pm PT: In our third workshop, Kristie will discuss financial health. What we do with our money and Why; building strategy and intention into our financial behaviors and goals.

Are you doing work that aligns with your vision of success? Are you taking care of yourself in a way that honors your physical being? Have you dreamed about what college for your kids or retirement for you could look like? If so, please join us for these FREE 30-minute workshops!

Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge Starts September 13th!

Want to look and feel your best?

Need to improve your diet, but you’re not sure where, or how to start?

I’ve got a plan for you!

Picture how you want to feel one month from now. How specific can you be with your goals?

For example:

  • You fit into that pair of pants that has been taunting you since last year.
  • You eat one home cooked meal with your family each week.
  • You replace your daily habit of a glass of wine with journaling, meditation, or a bath.

What is Fluid’s Nutrition Challenge?

Join our Nutrition Challenge and together you and I will craft YOUR customized plan. Over the next four weeks you will make small, incremental changes that lead to lasting results.

  • 4 week plan to improve your diet
  • 30 minute goal setting meeting with me on Zoom
  • weekly email and phone support

What it’s not:

This is not a “cleanse”. There will be no juicing (unless you really like juice). This is not a weight loss diet per se, but if you goal is to lose weight, or improve your body composition, I am here to help you.

You will bring new awareness to how you are fueling your body. You will learn to recognize your emotional eating cues, and to understand how to create new habits (spoiler alert – this has very little to do with willpower).

The cost is $55. Fit Club members, this challenge is included in your membership!

The Challenge starts September 13th. Please reach out to me this week, as I’m scheduling one on one goal setting sessions now. I’m holding a spot for you, dear friend!

Call or email me today to reserve your spot!
