Hudson Valley Meditation & Reiki

01/29/2026

It was a very confusing week.

This was my first vacation in over a year and I needed it. I could feel the edges just starting to get a little toasty so it came at the perfect time.

The toasty edges crisped up due to our heating system breaking the last week of December and my unimaginably brave, curious, creative and wildly smart husband decided to replace it himself. Go ahead and ask me if has any training in HVAC and the answer is “no”. It has not been without a crap ton of stress and also as you know……this winter weather.

And so, I had to cancel a bunch of things and that is not easy. Even down to tonight not being able to do the Full Moon Meditation because of snowmaggedon. It’s soooooo hard to do that.

And now, back to my trip. It was actually down to the wire whether we could even go, what with the new HVAC system freaking out. And then my daughter, Delia and her awesome bf saved our entire trip. And they were repaid by shoveling out from what I guess was a colossal storm. ☔️

Somehow, we left for Santa Fe. Another human being was murdered in our country. Paul and I are pretty sensitive so we wouldn’t ignore the suffering. And we had a job to do, really. To fill ourselves back up to the brim so that we can continue to be sensitive and not hardened. It’s in that softness where you find useful things like empathy, love, kindness, hope.

Soon, Im going to share some of the strange happenings I encountered on one of the most incredible trips of my life to New Mexico. May you be happy, healthy, safe and helpful.

I am a library lover and can’t wait to share New Year Intention Setting with the patrons of

The library workshops are always full, the guided meditations at other venues always sold out. I’m thinking we all need some peace.

This cannot be real. I’ve created my ultimate dream because of all of you that come a’ callin’. I knew you’d show up and I’d just have to be patient and then you came. And you keep on coming.

And the most magical thing is that I manifested a space so cozy and natural to work from. My home. This is why it’s soooo affordable and I get to spend oodles of time deeply truly and madly seeing your wild hearts.

Little secret time. When I was young I used to pretend I was the village shaman and I make potions to cure them. Ok when I was working in my lab bathroom at 7 yo shaving cream and mouth wash were added in Dixie Cups and given to the villagers (my cousins) for their different ailments. Didn’t really have access to botanicals but a girls gotta learn from some where. Why not in my parents bathroom in Inwood at 5000 Broadway.

All hail each and every one of
You. Busiest year yet.

🌲I cannot believe that it is almost December again, my friends.

As we get more distracted by technology, I’m finding my holiday traditions are becoming more about creating moments of magic.

🐿️ One of the magical things I’ll be doing is offering a chance to open a window from this sweet advent calendar when you come for Reiki in December. It’s so good to be surprised by the little things.

🎄Another is trying to create winter altars throughout my property. Friend of my heart, has been creating nature altars for years. I need him to teach me how. If you get a chance, go and check some of them out on his page. If you take this craft up this winter, please share the pictures with me. I would love to see them.

You can book with me through the link in my bio. ❄️

Before each session, I perform some rituals to help me center and ground for our time together. It starts with me getting very quiet and tapping into your energy using my intuition. It works even if I haven't met you and my intuition has never let me down.

The message involves which herbs and flowers I can blend to make your tea unique to your energetic signature. If I'm sensing stress, then lavender is definitely going in there. In need of a restart? Mint. Have you lost your connection to divinity? Purple Pea Flower. Forgot how beautiful you naturally are? Rosehips. And on and on.

I am always working on ways to keep things fresh in my practice. As the days shorten, this is what I've added to my apothecary.
