I’ve got all I’ve ever dreamed of ✨✨✨ What a beautiful life.

We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving (check out the history & the Native American perspective of the holiday) but we still take advantage of the days off to be with family and practice some gratitude ♥️

It’s okay to change again and again and again…
to invent yourself, tear it all down, and then reinvent yourself again.

It’s okay to get lost in not knowing who you are while you ‘try on’ different expressions, boundaries, or aesthetics…
while you give yourself the space to get curious, to get to know you again.

You never have to have anything figured out. Ever. 🌙
What a joy it is that we can change! Honestly, how refreshing. To break the molds of what others perceive you to be and to just be you, whoever that is at any given time.

Two things have helped me tremendously each time I go through a new transition within myself:
✨Breathwork to clear the self-limiting beliefs, the negative thought loops, and accumulated emotions
✨Reconnecting to the things I loved to do as a young child (draw, paint, color, dance, play…)

Can you relate?
Drop a “♥️” if you’re in the middle of an inner transition too ✨

You try all the grounding practices you can think of to stop the anxiety but it feels like it just amplifies instead…

Your body’s telling you something.

Your body’s been holding onto something for a long time and it’s asking for your attention.

In breathwork, we look at anxiety as an “indicator” emotion. It indicates there’s much more going on beneath the surface. The anxiety is just what’s on the surface.

The anxiety has to be offloaded from the body in order for you to feel safe enough to ground all the way in.

That’s where somatics comes in.

Sometimes this can be through shaking, dancing, stomping, sounds, etc. And often times this can be through a subconscious lens via somatic breathwork.

If you tend to overthink and over analyze, getting to the root of anxiety through somatic breathwork can be the best route because it allows the conscious mind to quiet so you can access deeper truths within you and any old unexpressed emotions that have been bubbling up through years of suppression, causing the feeling of anxiety.

So if this lands for you and feels resonant, it might be time to dive deeper within and stop addressing from a surface level approach. But the beautiful thing? I’ll be your diving instructor 🙌🏻♥️ You don’t have to do it all alone. Let’s go✨

Tonight feels like a full circle moment. 💓💫

I’m facilitating a v i r t u a l Breathwork circle which is exactly how I discovered Breathwork 7 years ago.

This version of myself was just starting to create a sacred space for herself for the first time ever in her bedroom, making herself priority, and beginning her healing journey. ✨

We didn’t have any Breathwork facilitators in my area at that time and I stumbled upon this work at a virtual event that absolutely blew my mind.

At that time, I worked hard to be viewed as a fun, care-free woman that could handle anything. But so many truths were hidden deep within that I ignored to keep up with that image.

Breathwork helped me get back into my body where those truths were buried and gain the clarity I needed to make decisions from my own heart and take control of my life... even if that meant being judged or viewed as something I didn’t want to be viewed as.

Breathwork was the key I needed to let go of other people’s perceptions of me so I could live in authenticity.

✨✨✨

Today’s energy is the perfect opportunity for release and to re-align with your heart.

Virtual breathwork groups are potent and special, each one different from the last because of the energy of those present, even through our screens. Join me tonight for a Full Moon Virtual Breathwork Circle right from your sacred space at home. Don’t have one? Take some inspo from this old version of me and create one with what you’ve already got at home and join us. ♥️✨

🌙 No need to be present! A recording will be sent for you to view later. 🕯️

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 💓
