As a white spiritual healing facilitator, I’m entirely embarrassed at the comments by white people and I see the dire need for this work right now and am actively a student of the decolonial movement

A core wound of mine is abandonment ❤️‍🩹
The woman who birthed me abandoned me and so I began to abandon myself.

The ways it shows up has changed drastically over the years but lately it can look like:
🪞not sticking to daily rituals/self-care
🪞lack of discipline
🪞pushing people away “I can do it myself, it’s fine”
🪞scrolling my phone when I know my body needs attention
🪞ignoring my body’s need for movement, rest, & release
🪞overriding my intuition with my logical mind
🪞looking for answers from people who “know better than me” instead of my own intuition

The biggest difference now is I can see when I’m falling in these patterns and I know why. So I can take the “why” into my breathwork practice with my teacher and together we dig a bit deeper to see what part of that little girl needs to be heard and witnessed today. And through the breath, I can shut down that logical mind that’s always overprotecting me, and let her feel what she needs to feel in the moment. I can create a container of safety for her to be able to express what she wasn’t able to express then. And I can shed another layer of that experience that was keeping me stuck in these patterns. ✨

Healing doesn’t have to be constant. It doesn’t have to be linear. But when we do the healing “framework,” we build that capacity to be able to see when we fall back into old patterns and meet it with compassion. We have discernment to know when healing is needed and when it’s time to just live. 🙌🏻🌿

I’ve invested a lot into my healing this year so I can show up more fully for the people I help and for my own life. And it’s stretched my hearts capacity so much I could cry at any moment with gratitude. ♥️

And I guarantee thats possible for you too.

I offer virtual as well as in-person 1:1 breathwork sessions and healing groups to help you stretch your capacity for life. Both can be booked at the link in bio.

My next virtual Breathwork group is on the full moon on 11/5 🌝✨

When you settle, you put an end to what’s possible.

We settle because we think that’s what we deserve.
And what we think we deserve is programmed into our minds before we’re even 10 years old.

So when my first husband love-bombed me and showed consistent interest, I thought “this is the best treatment I’ve ever had” so that’s what I thought I deserved.
The red flags over the years became a blur in the background because he loved me... right?

But later, through my own healing, I realized I was so, so wrong.

When I left him, our life, and all our belongings behind to start from scratch in my parents’ basement before getting a tiny apartment for myself, I had no idea my life now was ever possible.

But my commitment to myself at that time was more important than any other relationship. Because what was gleamingly clear to me at that point was that I didn’t recognize myself. I was living my life day to day just trying to get through it all, just trying to be what everyone else wanted me to be.

So I got out of my own way.
I did the deep healing work I needed to grieve, to transform, to get to know who I was again.
I needed to tend to the parts of me that still felt like I didn’t deserve the love I knew now was possible.

This is the time I discovered breathwork. And I began to love myself again without seeking it from anyone else.

✨✨✨

Last night, I told my husband that I loved him more now than our “honeymoon” phase.

And that alone just makes me beam with pride for that 2018 version of me that was so worried she’d never marry again, never have kids, but still took that leap of faith because it was her truth. ♥️

Breathwork has helped me see those old self-limiting beliefs from my childhood and rewrite the story. 🙌🏻

Healing the Roots was everything we hoped it would be ♥️🌹🕯️✨

When we met earlier this year, we knew right away we wanted to collaborate on an event together. We knew breathwork was somewhat knew to our area and we wanted to share it with as many people as we could - our way of bringing healing to our community while also doing what we loved.

We took a leap of faith, splurging on our big dream in hopes we would just break even, and you guys SHOWED UP. 👏🏻

Our entire intention for this event was to facilitate healing for all of you that would ripple backwards and forwards through generations, to your families, to your community. And that wouldn’t be possible if you all didn’t do the brave thing of going within to navigate through deep wounds and show up for yourselves so fully.

I’m so proud of every single one of us in that room 🥹

Thank you all for coming to our first (and sold out!) collaboration breathwork circle. More to come!!

♥️😘

Big thank you to for helping us with this event & for all of the beautiful photos 💓

I wish I could find the woman who helped me mid-panic attack at the London airport and hug her again.

Already an anxious traveler, after a 12-hour delay and a canceled flight, 4,000 miles from home and still 1,150 miles to go, I forgot everything I know and my body took over. Sweating, out-of-body, exhausted, jet-lagged, and alone in a crowded airport restaurant, I had to remind myself to breathe so I didn’t pass out.

After 20 minutes of holding it together, a woman next to me asked if I was okay. The kindness and safety in her energy broke me open - instant tears. In her British accent, she asked if she could touch my shoulder and then gave me a big, loving hug.

The book I’m reading now led me to this painting at the Uffizi Museum in Florence. On the train to my final stop, I opened it to find Meggan Watterson writing about her own anxiety while traveling—perfect timing.

“In about three days, I’ll be clutching the flight attendant’s hand during takeoff. I will have utterly forgotten everything I knew in that [woman’s] circle. The power of craving will have me completely blind to all else; I will crave desperately not to die.
I will be visibly trembling. Concerned, the flight attendant will stare into my eyes until I am back behind them again. And I’ll tear up not because I’m afraid—which I am, I’m petrified—but because I get (again) that the whole point is that [love] never ends. We keep remembering and forgetting. We keep merging with that presence and then separating. We are here for each other. We need each other to remember that, as tough and terrifying as it gets, love has already won. Love is this merciful transference of power. Love is this compulsion to help, and this humility to be helped.”

And I think that’s what breathwork and somatic healing do for me - bring me back again and again to the love within after I’ve yet again forgotten. To open my heart to receive from strangers and trust that humanity is kind. I needed that woman more than she’ll ever know. I thought I was all alone in that moment but the truth is, I never am. 💗
