Make the holidays your own by taking some time to pause and reflect with these journal prompts.

This time of year can be a mix of many different emotions, memories, meaningful traditions, as well as outdated rituals. Whether the holiday season brings you excitement or anxiety, the added to-do’s, gatherings, and obligations can bring added stress.

So, I created this set of journal prompts in order to support you to navigate this time with greater intention and meaning while being true to yourself. We shared these with those that came to our live webinar gathering the other day, but wanted to share it more widely with you.

Download these journal prompts using the link in our bio to consider what has meaning to you at this time, and to set intentions for self-care during the upcoming holiday season.

We hope this brings greater nourishment to this time of year for you. Enjoy!
PS- please feel free to share with your clients or loved ones too!

If you missed Kelsey’s webinar We Are Part of the Whole, you can now watch the full recording on YouTube. 🌿

In this rich and grounded offering, Dr. Kelsey Loupy invites us into a remembering—one that lives in our cells, our breath, and our lived experience. She weaves physiology, somatic awareness, and nature-based therapy to explore how our body-minds are not separate from the Earth, but shaped by and in ongoing relationship with it.

This conversation touches into:
• how our bodies are made of many interrelated systems
• why sunlight, trees, soil, water, and seasons feel regulating to us
• the role of our senses in nervous system support
• research-informed reflections from eco-psychology and nature-based therapy
• and a short guided sensory practice to help integrate what you hear

If you’re curious about the science and the lived experience of being human within the living world, this is a beautiful place to spend an hour.

Deep gratitude for these bad-ass women in my life who walk their talk, love open-heartedly and work every day for justice and equality. They are compassionate, integrous, committed to growth, service, listening to the under-represented voices, and to making the world a better place.

THANK YOU, MY FRIENDS!

Give the Gift of Gratitude this Holiday Season and Beyond!

As we move through the holidays, gratitude is a simple yet poignant gift we can offer from the heart amidst the hustle and bustle of life.

Share with someone the impact they've had on you simply by being themselves.

Catch a moment when someone makes your day or week a little easier or brighter.

Express your heartfelt thanks and let them know their kindness didn't go unnoticed.

When a service exceeds your expectations, offer gratitude. Your acknowledgment can make a world of difference

Spread the unexpected joy by leaving a secret gratitude or love note in a hidden spot for someone to stumble upon.

Take a moment for self-appreciation. Offer yourself a few mindful breaths and words of gratitude for all the things you are doing right and well.

Gratitude is contagious. Let's pass it on!

Tag someone you are grateful for, along with sharing some kind words, and bring a smile to their (and all of our) day/s!

🌟 Join Mindfulness Coaching for ADHD🌟

Struggling with impulsivity, restlessness, procrastination, or the shame and guilt that can come with ADHD? You’re not alone. Starting January 25, 2026, we’re hosting an eight-week online support group designed specifically for individuals with ADHD who are ready to find more focus, peace, and empowerment.

Here’s what you can expect:
✨The neurobiology of ADHD and mindfulness
✨A gradual introduction of informal and formal mindfulness exercises, including mindfulness in everyday life and more formal seated and walking practices
✨Practices that train focus, help you monitor your attention, and help with self-regulation
✨Four 30-minute one-on-one coaching sessions to help you deepen your practice and coping skills
✨Four group meetings to share insight, learn from others, and get the most out of the MAPs practices

Each week, you’ll explore mindfulness techniques tailored to help you work with the challenges—and gifts—of ADHD, all while being part of a supportive community that gets you.

Ready to feel more in control and connected?

Let 2026 be the year you take meaningful steps toward focus, calm, and transformation. We’d love to support you in this journey.

Want to Deepen Your Therapeutic Practice Within a Supportive Community? 🌿

If you’re a therapist or healer looking to infuse more creativity, inspiration, and depth into your work within a compassionate and supportive community, I’d love to invite you to join one of our upcoming 6-Month Mentorship Groups.

Over the past 3 years, these groups have inspired important conversations, creative ideas, a deeper understanding of integrating tools for particular therapeutic goals, and have been supportive in normalizing the struggles that come with being a therapist.

Thus, I’m thrilled to offer these two mentorship opportunities once again:

✨ Therapeutic Nature-Based Consultation & Mentorship Group: 6 months | One meeting per month starting January 13th

✨ Somatic Trauma Therapy Consultation & Mentorship Group: 6 months | One meeting per month starting January 15th

These groups are designed to guide you in enhancing your somatic and nature-based skills while providing a space for growth, reflection, and support in your practice. Note that you do need to have prior training in these areas of practice to join.

If this calls to you, I’d love to support you in continuing to grow and expand your practice as an embodied holistic healer. You can apply now. Check out our website to learn more. 🌱
