You may have heard the saying, “A lesson will keep repeating itself until it is learned.” In his book Waking the Tiger , Peter Levine presents this as the self having a desire to learn and another chance to renegotiate trauma. When we find ourselves in the same unwanted situation over and over, it is not “bad luck,” a coincidence, or solely placing the blame outward. It’s an opportunity to change how we relate to the previous or original problematic experience. Levine explain

Being ‘seen’ is a universal need, whether you are a child, adult, or even the Dead. When the unseen become seen, a huge shift happens....

Celebrating my birthday last month was a wonderful reflection on the lessons and growth I’ve had over the past year. In May 2022, I...

Sometimes the world feels like a big supermarket, every moment vying for your attention. Is it a temptation, distraction, attachment? Is it there to simply provoke an emotion? Or perhaps it’s a little guidance, an earnest connection, a higher lesson. What if it was only an energy— disguised in a person, a situation, a headline, an object? To see how you relate and respond. To reveal information about your own self. The choice and a discernment to engage or disengage. To progr

My mom passed away this month from complications due to cancer. During her last week alive, she was in a lot of pain-- too weak to talk,...

It’s been a crazy couple of months in two different ways. Crazy abundant with my work in a state of flow, especially after a long period of reorganization on the micro and macro level. Our individual lives, our professional lives, and the world that we live in— it’s all interconnected! I see the past three years as time and space needed to get clear on WHAT I wanted, WHY, and HOW I’d put things in place. The guidance that I’d often come back to was— Is this for my highest goo

Last month, I celebrated my birthday in Sedona, Arizona with a Breathwork Healer Training and in the awe of Mother Nature. The energy there felt so open, friendly, and noticeably at a higher frequency. Being in a place with a higher vibration has a unique and delightful quality. Synchronicity is abundant, often in humorous ways. Luck and small gifts present themselves readily. There’s a lightness in the air and a sense of aliveness. In Sedona, the ‘veil’ between the human wor

“We are spiritual beings distracted by the human condition.”— David Elliott I’ve been thinking about how we, as humans, create our own identity and the identity of others. It can start as soon as we are born. As we go through life, we add or change words to define ourselves and others. We develop preferences, bias (implicit and explicit), judgements, beliefs, assumptions, and perspectives. This is the human condition. No one is above it, but we can be aware of it and observ

March was one of those months where there weren't enough hours in the day to get what I needed done. Fresh from my 3 week trip to Costa Rica, I moved directly to Alameda, California. Here I was in a brand new city; no client base; no network; battling a website malfunction issue; scouting indoor and outdoor locations to facilitate; feeling the pull to ‘level up’ my modalities and services but needing time to plan it out; and noticing that my business income was on the

I really sat with my intention. Found a beautiful venue. Spent HOURS creating the webpage. And put down a large deposit. But there were...

As I reflect upon the past twelve months, my take away is resilience. Being able to withstand change, uncertainty, things that didn’t work out, and conflict. Most of this was based on expectations and how attached I was to an experience. Calling it an experience helps keep it more universal and neutral (“What is this teaching me? What is this showing me?”) instead of individual or personal. What we may be attached to can be quite a long list: a plan, a person, a viewp

I was at the end of my life. Lying in a hospital bed. Tubes up my nose. Wearing a white hospital gown with tiny blue flowers. Standing...

About nine years ago, I injured my lower back after taking part in a running activity. I was in deep pain. It hurt to sit, bend over, or even stand. I had completed my yoga teacher training the year before and saw my career that I was ready to embark on crumbling before my eyes. I went to a chiropractor and had the standard initial consultation. “Why are you here? Where is the pain? Can you describe it? Is it dull or sharp?” I remember being frustrated with all these q

As a child, anger was scary, explosive, and unpredictable. That was my relationship with it and continued on into my adult years. Whenever I saw someone showing their anger, my body froze, my muscles tensed, and I felt small. I didn't even need to be involved in the situation to get pulled into the automatic protective response from my childhood. At an early age, I remember promising myself that "I would never be like that"— someone who could not control their temper a
