When I have free time outside of my role as a product manager for a small tech startup, I enjoy blogging about products that have had a positive impact on my physical and mental health. 

I’m especially interested in discovering natural ways to achieve emotional well-being. I’m passionate about exercise, meditation, healthy eating, reducing stress, and getting enough rest. I’ve dealt with insomnia and anxiety at different points in my life, and I recently became interested in learning about how weighted blankets use deep pressure stimulation to relieve tension and create a sense of calm. 

I decided to try out some of the most popular weighted blankets on Amazon to find out which works best for relieving anxiety, falling and staying asleep, and waking up feeling good. This was a significant undertaking, so I decided to share my findings on this blog to help others make the right choice, and to save them time and money. 

I live in the Portland area with my husband and my Jack Russell Terrier, Lucy. When I’m not working or blogging, I can usually be found reading, hiking,  or practicing yoga.
