A Reintroduction 💫

To those who’ve known me for years and those just joining me, thank you for being here and welcome to my little corner of the world! Getting to do work I deeply love is a gift I don’t take for granted.

Let me just preface this by saying that I’m still making Malas- just a bit slower lately… 😉📿

Since 2009, I’ve supported the widowed community as a peer, mentor, advocate, and now as a therapist and coach- holding space for grief, providing tools for healing, self-discovery, and the integration of grief and growth.

More recently, I’ve been supporting adults with ADHD and late-identified autism, helping them understand their unique flavors of neurodivergence while unpacking years of masking and misunderstandings. I provide strategies for improved executive functioning, greater self-acceptance and self-compassion, and authentic living with a more regulated nervous system.

What makes my approach unique?
A profound understanding of the ways grief and neurodivergence intersect + actionable tools that actually help- all grounded in love.

A little update: I’m continuing to work toward full licensure as a therapist in NYS (passed my exam last year- just 975ish hours of supervision to go!) and currently exploring a rabbit hole about somatic work and psychoneuroimmunology, and so excited about how this knowledge will serve my clients!

Thank you for being here and letting me share my little corner of the world with you. 💗📿

Peace, healing, and freedom is represented in this mini Mala bracelet.

Just a fun little gift for a special 4th of July birthday…

This Rainbow Mala is complete with 108 semiprecious stone beads representing the seven main chakras. Included are a few white quartz beads and a crackle quartz guru bead to magnify and enhance the healing properties of all the stones in the Mala.

This Mala provides a healing boost to all of the chakras, and the extra amethyst beads give additional support to the third eye-chakra, thus helping to strengthen intuition and connection with the higher self.

This Mala has inspired me to make other variations of rainbow Malas- perfect for Pride Month! 😍 🌈 📿

The Sodalite Mala. 📿

108 soldalite beads with a crackle crystal quartz guru bead that resembles the full moon.

Sodalite stone’s healing properties are thought to improve mental clarity and self-expression, support emotional stability and calm, enhance intuition and insight, and increase self-esteem and self-acceptance.

What kinds of healing qualities would you like in your Mala?

Collaborated with a long-time client to create this very special custom Mala as a gift for his friend- a monk in Thailand who likely knows much more about Malas than I ever will! It was my first time making a three-pronged tassel- a fun challenge that included some trial and error, and resulted in learning a couple of new techniques! What an honor it was to make this. 📿

You made it through! After today, our days will begin to lengthen and we will once again begin to make our way closer to the sun.

This is also a reminder to stay close to people who feel like sunshine, too- all year round. 😉☀️📿

Find your center with this carefully crafted Mala, designed to bring peace and clarity to your inner world. Each element is thoughtfully chosen to support your emotional journey and personal growth.

Fancy jasper stones ground your energy, sharpening mental focus and bringing clarity to your thoughts. Traditional sandalwood beads work their ancient magic, gently dissolving anxiety and creating a deep sense of calm.

A crackle quartz guru bead sits at the Mala’s heart, harmonizing your chakras and amplifying healing energy. The cotton teal and silver threads weave a visual story of transformation and inner strength.

Soft blue and green hues through the Mala support the throat and heart chakras, encouraging self-compassion and authentic expression.

This is more than jewelry – it’s an effective meditation tool and a sacred companion on your path to inner peace.
