During the holidays, I find so many people feel their loved ones who’ve passed, like they’re just a little closer this time of year 🤍

Have you ever noticed signs when they connect with you? Do you see feathers, hear songs, see numbers, or experience little moments that feel like them?

I sat down to do client sessions today and found a feather right on my desk. A quiet reminder that we’re never as alone as we think. I wasn’t sure if this was one of my loved ones or a clients loved one. But what I’ve been feeling strongly is that it was a collective of them across the veil, connecting with me to channel all the love and support through to this side. I felt this as I connected with clients today, and I felt my loved ones supporting me as I hold space for all of the lovely souls I work with.

I’d love to hear from you all…what signs have you noticed from your loved ones? ✨

If December feels overwhelming or exhausting, you’re not imagining it. Every year friends, colleagues and clients tell me the same thing (and I also tell myself): “I don’t know why I feel so tired… I wish I felt more festive.” And honestly? It makes perfect sense.

December is naturally a season of endings. Instead of slowing down we experience the pressure of demanding expectations, disrupted routines, emotional echoes, and capitalist marketing. Your entire being is juggling a lot, even if nothing “bad” is happening. Your system easily becomes overwhelmed. When you feel the exhaustion, you’re responding to a season that asks more from your body than it gives back.

In my latest blog post I go more in depth about this, but in a nutshell here is some quick advice:
Let yourself move slowly.
Let yourself take breaks.
Let yourself feel whatever comes up.
Winter is not a performance; it’s an invitation to soften, simplify, and breathe.

✨IT’S OK TO PIVOT ✨

I had the most beautiful plans for a girls weekend away with friends, one that is long overdue and always makes my heart so happy….but of course Mother Nature had other plans. With all of us now snowed in, it’s become a quiet weekend at home with nothing on the agenda except some intense snow shoveling.

I will be honest, my first reaction was anger. But after a few deep breaths and a little bit of coffee, my mindset shifted to release. Releasing any anger and allowing it to unfold into what can now be a quiet weekend with family and perhaps doing some baking and reading and bingeing the new Stranger Things season. The girls are regrouping and we will plan new dates. Safety and comfort over pushing the plans simply to get it done.

There’s beauty in being able to pivot if we allow it. Our plans change and sure there’s some disappointment, but we can opt to embrace the beauty of what’s on offer instead of being angry and bitter that our original plans didn’t work as we had wanted. I’m grateful that I’ve learned to embrace the art of pivoting over the years….it has supported the release of anxiety and anger and allowed for presence and gratitude instead. Life is all about these pivots, and it’s OK to flow with them. Sometimes they can bring us what we need but didn’t think we had space or time for 💜

Anyone else get super frustrated when your plans get thwarted by a cold or flu??? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Sometimes, when we push ourselves beyond our capacity for too long, our bodies force us into time out. And in a culture that values productivity over rest, we often don’t recognize when we may be overextending ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally or energetically. And as a therapist, this is something I explain to my clients on the regular.
Full disclosure time: I’m just as vulnerable to overextending myself even though I know better, and yes, it catches up to me. My immune system made the choice for me after a busy month, putting the brakes on another busy weekend ahead. What’s my body telling me? Biologically it’s telling me that my immune system is low because my system is stressed and I haven’t been recharging my battery enough. On many other levels, it’s telling me I need to rest, to nourish myself and to let others look after me while I regenerate.
As someone who’s always on the go, it’s frustrating to get knocked down. But i’ve learned over the years that it’s the Universe trying to tell me to pay attention to something. So I surrender. Surrender to letting myself rest, to puppy cuddles, books and ginger lemon tea. And to honoring myself and what I need instead of pushing myself to meet any other expectations. Because I know I need to care about myself as much as I care for others.

So the next time you start coming down with a cold or flu, take it as a sign that you need some rest and deserve the time out ❤️✨

Step into the shadows with us this Samhain 🌙✨

At Feast & Feminine, we practice and witness the power of sisterhood, the nourishment of food and celebrating the feminine spirit through shared meals, sacred rituals, and the healing energy of community.

This Samhain, we will gather to explore the concept of Shadow Work, applying spiritually integrated psychotherapeutic techniques to support stepping into and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we have felt the need to keep hidden.

We will walk the stone wall to remember our people and the women who hold us in our power. This walking meditation connects us to our ancestors and the women of history.

On November 1, we gather at The Little Stone Chapel for shadow work, cord cutting, everyday magic, food, drinks, and laughter.

Together, we honour the sacred spark within ourselves and each other.

We will learn how to remain sovereign in these dark times. How to remain in love. Small bits of practical magic.

I’m honoured to be a part of this event and this community, and I’d love for you to join us for an evening or self discovery, communing and forging connections with like minded souls.

Jane Goodall changed the world.

For women, she broke barriers in science and proved compassion is a strength. For nature, she showed us animals are kin, not “other” and that we could understand so much about ourselves by getting to know them. For the world, she became a voice of hope, reminding us that small actions spark big change. For me, she showed me that women could be scientists and that our relationship to nature and its beings is a crucial part of harmony on our planet. She showed me it’s ok to be compassionate, curious and to love a life that is both meaningful and authentic no matter what others might say.

Her legacy? Live with empathy. Protect what you love. Believe you can make a difference.

Rest in Peace peaceful warrior ✨🐒💚

Back-to-school isn’t just a transition for kids — it’s a big shift for busy moms, too. Between drop-offs, schedules, and the never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to forget your own needs. There's plenty of moments when you don't feel like you're doing enough.
As mothers we often sacrifice our own self care to prioritize every one else's needs. This is your reminder that you don't have to always do it all, and that rest is an important part of your wellbeing too. Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your kids.... so have some self compassion and know that you don't have to be perfect to be loved!

✨ Rewriting the story of negative core beliefs ✨

We all have them. Negative core beliefs often grow from early experiences of pain, trauma, or unmet needs, becoming the quiet stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve.

Maybe you’ve carried the weight of this belief for years: I’m not good enough. Too much. Not worthy. Not lovable. Not doing enough.

But here’s the alchemy: BELIEFS ARE NOT FACTS.

They’re old stories written in moments of pain, survival, or comparison. In session together we slow down, untangle those threads, and begin writing a new narrative...one rooted in compassion, wholeness, and possibility.

I'm curious: Which belief will you choose to rewrite today? Mine is that I am not enough. Today, and everyday, I now choose to tell myself that I am enough just as I am and not valued simply on what I do for everyone else. If you feel like you want to, I would love for you to share yours in the comments. You never know how it might support someone else who is reading.

If you need a boost, I am here to tell you time and again: You are already enough. Healing is remembering who you are and coming home to your true self.

08/18/2025

You’ve been doing a lot to get through life... everyday you're hustling, performing, surviving. But have you paused to ask: am I truly living for myself? And if so, when was the last time you did something about it?

Healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about noticing the patterns that keep us stuck. That can often show up as shame, all-or-nothing thinking, and perfectionism. It's time to identify it, reflect on it, and learn to respond differently instead of just hopping back on the hamster wheel of life where you are always people pleasing, trying to meet unrealistic expectations and burning yourself out.

Therapy is a gentle, safe space to reconnect with your inner guidance, remember who you are, honor your story, and come home to yourself... a space to stop merely surviving and learn how to start thriving again.

If you feel called to explore this, I’m here to walk alongside you.
