Aloha dear friends,
As this year draws to a close, I wanted to share a little window into my world — the adventures, lessons, growth, and magic that shaped my 2025. It has been a year of big movement, big healing and letting go some layers and big becoming.
In May, my husband and I packed up our life in Florida and moved to Virginia.
This is our fifth state since we moved together in America. He stepped into a huge new professional opportunity, helping one of the largest companies in the country open a brand-new store — which became one of the most successful openings in the company’s history. I’m proud of him for that work and the dedication it took.
As for me, this year has been a full spectrum of life — from challenges to triumphs and everything in between. I started out in a retail role that quickly turned toxic and pushed me to my limits. After nine intense months, I chose my health and stepped away. That decision opened a completely new path.
I found my way into a wellness-centered workplace, a space where I can breathe and rebuild. I also began studying for my Personal Trainer certification, deepening my passion for holistic health from the inside out.
And in the midst of it all, a huge milestone — I became a United States citizen this year.
Much of my inner work has been shaped by therapy, emotional fitness, and quantum practices. I’ve done deep healing, refinement, and soul-tuning. I’ve laughed, cried, broken open, and stitched myself together with more truth and compassion than ever before.
Virginia blessed me with nature. I completed more than a dozen hikes in Shenandoah National Park — including meeting a black bear, crossing paths with a timber rattlesnake, greeting countless deer, chipmunks, and what feels like every squirrel in the state. I learned the Ukulele, continued my Spanish, completed a 4-month nature studies program, and even visited my nature teacher. I soaked in natural hot ponds that restored my spirit.
I also joined creative and community spaces here — local writers' gatherings, art events, nature journaling and clay workshops. I picked up my paintbrush again. I began writing another book. I returned to sound healing and started offering sound journeys with my seven crystal bowls.
And for the first time in many years, I experienced all four seasons fully. Watching Virginia shift from summer to autumn, and now into winter, has been both grounding and magical.
This year wasn’t easy socially — even though this is known as a “friendly city,” I’ve felt more loneliness and more judgment here than anywhere else I’ve lived. But that also pushed me deeper into my truth, my inner resilience, my creative world, and my spiritual practices. It inspired me to launch a new Quantum Body program for my Estonian clients, which has been a source of joy and connection.
And through all the ups and downs, I’ve had the gentle companionship of my cats — their daily purr therapy has been priceless.
This year taught me strength, softness, surrender, creativity, courage, and the deep importance of choosing myself again and again.
Thank you all for being part of my journey — whether near or far, silent or loud, visible or invisible.
May this season bring warmth to your heart, light to your path, and grace to your becoming.
And may the next year bring the Fire Horse with all his treasures!
With Aloha love,�Crystal
