I just want to take a moment and thank all of you who have been a part of my bodywork practice in 2025.

Each of you has helped me live out my purpose in the world, and I am so grateful.

I have learned from every single one of my clients during the hundreds of treatments given this year, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to grow, both personally and professionally.

One of the best things about working is that it provides me the opportunity to get MORE training, so I can be even MORE effective in my work!

This was another record year for trainings. I spent a LOT of time in Madrid with fellow therapists, and really saw so much growth in my skill and knowledge. It’s been so exciting!

– Visceral Manipulation 5 & 6 – Manual Thermal Diagnosis and Viscero-Emotional Relationships.

– I repeated VM1 in preparation to for becoming a teaching assistant this year!

– Level 3 of Neural Manipulation (working with the nerves of the lower body)

– Level 2 of Advanced Visceral Manipulation of the Brain (Such a mind-blowing one! Pun intended!)

What’s really cool is that with each of these trainings, I was able to immediately start using my new knowledge and techniques to help my clients. They were all so incredible, and leave me hungry to learn more!

– In addition to these, I had the opportunity to do an outreach project with Upledger Institute Spain, for people who were affected by the flooding in Valencia. We offered Multi-Hands sessions to help them release trauma they were holding in their bodies. (Many of you helped send Maria and me through taking care of our travel expenses– THANK YOU!)

This was a beautiful opportunity, not only to give back, but also to connect with fellow CranioSacral Therapists here in Spain. I will be doing more with Upledger Institute Spain this year, and I am excited about that!

And now, here are some specific things I'm grateful to you for in 2025:
🌟Thank you for trusting me to help you this year.
🌟Thank you for allowing me to learn SO MUCH from you as I worked with you on the issues that you needed help with.
🌟Thank you for bringing your babies, children and spouses to see me– supporting families is my favorite!
🌟Thank you for supporting my family in turn by using my services.
🌟Thank you for telling your friends about my work.

One of the biggest secrets to a long and happy life is having meaningful work and feeling like we’re contributing something positive to the world. I literally could not experience this joy and fulfillment without you.

For the last few years, I have noticed that I don’t feel a strong urge to start new things at the beginning of the year. If I look around me in nature, I can understand why!

We are just a week into winter, and it’s cold. In places with four seasons, most of the trees are completely bare! It’s a time for deepening root structures and gathering energy.

When does new growth begin? In the springtime– not the dead of winter! I still like to mark the beginning of the new year, and to take advantage. I just do things a little differently.

Here are some steps that I like to take at this time of year:

1. Taking a cue from the trees who have dropped their leaves, I use the week between Christmas and January to get rid of the things that are uselessly taking up space, creating clutter, or connected with a sense of guilt or obligation. Sometimes, when I don’t know what I want, or what to do next, simply clearing physical or visual space really helps. You can use the whole month of January to do some clearing out. It’s definitely not too late!

2. I do extra cleaning to welcome in the New Year. I may not be ready for lots of new goals and activities, but I do want a fresh start. In addition to clearing last year’s dust, I think about what else I would like to leave behind (see questions below). Again, making space for something new to grow.

3. I take time to think and review, and call in a higher vision for my life. The season of winter is a naturally reflective time of year. We are indoors more, there are less planned activities, and watching a fire in the fireplace or a candle burning is naturally meditative.

It’s such a great time for planning.

For the gardeners out there, this makes perfect sense! It would be insane to think,

“In the new year, I want a lot of tomatoes! Let’s plant a lot of tomatoes in January, to get a head start!” Of course the seeds would barely even germinate, and any little sprouts would die.

No, this is a wonderful time to do careful planning for our gardens, to tidy up our beds, clear debris, put down mulch to nourish our soil, order seeds, etc. When the natural growing season rolls around, everything is ready.

Part of embracing the reflective character of the cold season is reviewing the year that has passed, and letting new information surface for you from a deeper inner knowing.

This year, I was guided by some questions from Sabrina Lynn of Rewilding. Here are some that I have been working with. You don’t have to do them all, just choose 3-4 that feel right.

✨Questions for Soul-Level Reflection✨

What is already complete? (Even if part of me is still attached.)

Where did my energy grow this year (even through discomfort)?

What am I no longer willing to pretend about myself? (LOVE this question!)

Where did my body say YES? Where did it quietly say NO? (Another favorite.)

Who or what feels like home now? And who/ what feels like a past address?

What wants to be simplified?

What pace does my soul actually want in the coming year?

What am I quietly devoted to becoming, even if I don’t talk about it yet? (Chills.)

4. I often like to choose a theme word for the year to embody. When I am getting bogged down, I go back to that word, and ask myself if there’s a way to tap into that.

It’s often such a cool experience to reflect back on how that word came into play as I review the year. Sometimes I have forgotten what it even was, but then it all clicks into place!

I encourage you to tap into the natural energy of this time of year. It’s so valuable for adding shape and depth to the months ahead. The change of year should not bring guilt, self-loathing, or an intense sense of obligation. Let it guide you into a deeper, more dynamic and meaningful life.

Happy Winter Solstice!

Tonight is the longest night of the year, and from here the days grow longer.

Some people feel at home in the winter, during the darker, colder, cozier days. Being a June baby, I am not one of these people. I love daylight and heat and sunshine and swimming in the ocean. I can feel depressed and listless in the winter.
Observing nature has been really helpful for me. I notice that most trees drop their leaves during the fall, and the bare branches remind me of the roots under the soil that are receiving all of the energy at this time. Roots grow deeper and stronger, to support even wider branches that will grow in the springtime. More blossoms, more fruit. This is not possible without healthy, deep roots.

So I look at these inward-facing days as a time to rest and replenish. To look at the deeper places inside myself. To tend to my family. To reflect. I know there will be a flurry of adventure and activity in the spring and summer.

This also reminds me of the inevitable times of grief and difficulty that come. These are the times where we are forced to venture so much further into ourselves, to find our strength, to develop our roots and find out who we are, and why we are here. All of the seasons are important.

If you are going through an inner winter, just know that this is deep and important work. That you will move into other seasons, and that your life will be so much more rich and vibrant because of the work you are doing now. That doesn't make it easier, but I think that understanding that there is purpose in the darkness, that something sacred is happening within, is helpful.

Maria and I are the closest thing we each have to co-workers, so today we went out for our “holiday work lunch” together!

It was fun to reflect on and celebrate all of the good things we have experienced in our work this year, talk about what we are proud of achieving, and what we hope to do in the coming year.

I shared with her that I am proud of how much I have grown in my skills through all of the training I have been doing with over the last year. I have improved my palpation skills SO much, and really expanded my anatomical knowledge and understanding over this past year. It’s so exciting to always be able to continue to grow and improve in a field that I am so passionate about!

I’m also so thankful for the relationships I have been building with other therapists here in Spain (and from all over the world!) recently. Of course, the most important one has been with my dear friend and co-therapist Maria. 🥰

🥹*Friday Feels*🥹

My heart floods with compassion and hope whenever I think about this woman and how she had suffered.

This client came in after suffering with severe, debilitating back pain from herniated discs for years. For the last 3 years, her pain level had been an 8-9 (!!!) almost all of the time, and she had spent the last year mainly confined to bed, struggling to do the basics of daily life.

Pain meds were no longer working, and steroid injections had failed the last two times. Her daughter made her an appointment, and hoped that I could bring at least a little relief after her painful travel over here.

At the end of her first appointment, I saw that she was already walking better, and seemed lighter.

When she came in the next week, she said that for most of the week, her pain was at a 1-2, or gone!

At her 4th appointment, she told me that she had NO pain! Her energy and stamina were slowly improving, and she was excited to get back to her life and continue to heal and get stronger!

After going through physical therapy, pain medications, injections, and everything that was offered in the conventional medical model to no avail, she has asked me repeatedly why no one offered hands-on help like this. She had no idea that these therapies existed, and I am so grateful and humbled that I could help.

Our next Multi-Hands Sessions are this Friday, December 12th.
We still have space available for you.

Curious about what Multi-Hands CranioSacral Therapy is about?

This is an appointment where more than one therapist are working with you. It’s a very special and more intensive experience.

The effects of multiple hands sessions are *exponential* l– not just like having two separate sessions.

Who might benefit from a Multi-Hands Session?

If you feel like you have been stuck in a pattern, whether physical or emotional, that doesn’t support overall wellness, you may want to receive this type of super-charged therapeutic session.

People also seek multiple hands CST when they feel that they have plateaued in their progress or they have a complicated condition that requires more therapeutic presence.

Multi-Hands is also excellent for creating a safe container for SomatoEmotional Release.

My co-therapist is Maria Belinchon, an excellent massage therapist and dear friend that many of you may already know! We are teaming up once a month for this special offering.

I am VERY excited that we are able to offer these appointments. Some of the deepest healing I have ever received has been through Multi-Hands sessions, so I see it as incredibly helpful.


If this sounds like something you could benefit from, now is the right time to grab a spot! You just schedule as usual, selecting "Multi-Hands Therapy" from the options.

New Skills Alert!

I was recently in Madrid, training with Barral Institute Spain. We completed the 2nd in a series for Manual Approach to the Brain– working on treating areas that affect hearing, speech/ language, pain, emotions, memory and balance, among others. Very exciting!

I have already been using these new techniques on some clients, and have been hearing great feedback.

It's always such a thrill to learn more, and bring back more options for helping my clients.

Sometimes all we need for major shifts in our lives and bodies is someone who is able to tune in deeply with skill and sensitivity, and a sincere desire to help us heal.

It's such a privilege to offer this, and the changes in my clients never cease to amaze me.

"The everyday human gesture is always a heartbeat away from the miraculous.

Remember that ultimately we make things happen through our actions, way beyond our understanding or intention; that our seemingly small ordinary human acts have untold consequences; that what we do in this world means something; that we are not nothing; and that our most quotidian human actions by their nature burst the seams of our intent and spill meaningfully and radically through time and space, changing everything…

Our deeds, no matter how insignificant they may feel, are replete with meaning, and of vast consequence, and… they constantly impact upon the unfolding story of the world, whether we know it or not."

It's been quite a while since I've posted a Healing Story! ❤

When I saw "Tanya," she was five weeks postpartum, and feeling pretty miserable. She was having headaches 4-5 days per week(!), and had very uncomfortable muscle spasm sensations all up the left side of her back and neck, with numbness and tingling into her left hand. She had a lot of low back pain, too. Her digestion was also suffering, including stomach upset, bloating, and heartburn. 🥺

One of the first things I noticed with Tanya was that her breathing was very restricted. This is SO common in postpartum women! I gently helped her organs find their places after moving to make room for Baby. She immediately began breathing better, and I knew this would also improve her digestion issues, and some of her left-sided pain.

I worked gently with her pelvis and spine, especially focusing on the top of the neck where she had a lot of compression that would potentially be giving her headaches. She was already feeling better when she left her appointment.

When she came back two weeks later, she looked much more at ease in her body! I asked about her headaches, and she said she hadn't had any in the last two weeks! 👏 Most of the pain in her low back was gone, and the symptoms on her left side were much improved, with no numbness or tingling in her hand. Her digestion was also great!

I continued help her through the postpartum recovery, and to work with some postural issues that can create pain, but I was really happy to see how much better she was doing after one appointment.

I felt so glad for Tanya, and really thankful that she reached out for help. Those early postpartum weeks can be SO challenging, even without pain. 🥹 It was easy for me to help her, and I know that it makes a big difference for her whole family's experience if she can feel better in her body.

If you are in pain or struggling postpartum, please reach out for help. You deserve to feel good in your body. 💗
