I’ve noticed a shift in my herbal practice over the years…While I still love working with herbs in their physical form, lately I’ve been really drawn to the more subtle side of plant medicine.

Flower essences 🌼

They work differently—through frequency, through resonance—supporting the emotional and energetic layers of our experience.

I now have over 100 single essences, and what I’ve been loving most is creating custom blends… for grounding, heart-opening, integration, and those moments in life that ask a little more of us. Flower essences meet us where we are… and support what’s already unfolding. Creating personalized essences for people—tuned to what they’re moving through—has become one of my favorite ways to offer support right now.

Subtle medicine.
Deep shifts.
I am here for it.

Each year, as we arrive in the Sacred Valley for retreat we are welcomed into ceremony with Q’ero elder Don Benito Apaza.

It is something I never take lightly…
to be invited into this space,
to sit in prayer with a wisdom keeper of this land,
to be guided by the lineage that has been in relationship with these mountains for generations.

There is something that feels deeply important to me about honoring the traditions of the places we travel to. Not just visiting… but arriving in a good way.

The despacho ceremony is one of those ways.

A living prayer.
A weaving of intention, gratitude, and remembrance.
A returning.

Each offering placed with care—flowers, seeds, sweets—representing the many threads of our lives. What we are grateful for. What we are releasing. What we are calling in.

This ceremony is rooted in ayni—reciprocity.
A remembering that we are not separate from the earth, but in relationship with her.

That everything we receive… we are also here to give back.

Each year, as we sit in circle with Don Benito, I feel this deep sense of humility and gratitude.

For the land.
For the teachings.
For the opportunity to walk this path with such incredible women.

It is always one of the most meaningful moments of our journey.

A quiet but powerful beginning.
A way of saying…
we have arrived
and we come with open hearts.

Early bird registration for this journey opens April 1st.

When we feel overwhelmed, our nervous system often shifts into survival mode.

The mind starts racing, the body tightens, and we can lose that sense of connection with ourselves.

One of the most helpful things we can do in these moments is come back into the body.

These are a few simple practices I often share with clients — small ways to help the nervous system settle and restore a sense of steadiness.

They don’t need to be complicated.
Often the simplest practices are the most powerful.

The Spring Equinox marks the moment when day and night come back into balance — a natural turning point that invites us to pause, reflect, and step forward with intention.

Join us for an afternoon of gentle yoga, sound healing, cacao, and meaningful
connection as we welcome the returning light together.

There are still a few spaces open.

Here we go… the journey begins!

Those of you who know me know that I absolutely love learning new things. There is something about stepping into a new body of work that always feels exciting to me — like opening the door to another layer of understanding.

Today I’m beginning a new training that explores the deeper art of being with people as they strengthen their relationship with themselves. Work that centers connection, nervous system awareness, and the kind of presence that allows real healing to unfold.

I’m looking forward to immersing myself in this over the coming months and eventually weaving it into both 1:1 sessions and group work later this year.

Wish me luck 😊

Some women come to Peru once.
Some feel the call to return again.

This year will be our 5th year hosting The Wisdom Within: A Women’s Retreat in the Sacred Valley of Peru.

Each year I feel incredibly honored when women entrust us to guide them on this sacred journey. And when someone chooses to return again… it means the world.

Sharing the beauty, wisdom, and healing energy of the Sacred Valley with other women has become one of the great joys of my life.

Early Bird Registration opens April 1st.

If Peru has been whispering to you but you still have questions, reach out.
I’d love to connect and chat. ♥️

It seems the old wisdom about pausing to notice the flowers was onto something….

Scientists are now identifying four sources of awe that can actually change our brain chemistry. The feeling of awe helps calm the nervous system, bring us fully into the present moment, increase oxytocin and our sense of connection, and softens the inner chatter while expanding our perspective.

I’ve always felt that quiet sense of awe when I’m in the woods or kneeling down to look closely at a plant — something in me settles and softens.

Wildflowers on the trail.
A leaf catching the light.
Tiny new growth pushing through the forest floor.

Reading about the positive effects on our brain chemistry made it all make sense.

So here are a few flowers from my camera roll to brighten your day and maybe spark a little sense of awe. ♥️

Sometimes the simplest medicine is just remembering to pause and notice the beauty around us.

Where do you find moments of awe in your life lately?

Share a few photos below and let’s create a little field of awe for us all to enjoy.

I’ve never really been a routine person……

I’ve always preferred to follow the rhythm of the day, the weather, or whatever my energy seemed to need in the moment.

But lately I’ve found myself settling into a small morning practice that has been surprisingly supportive for my nervous system.

Nothing elaborate — just a few minutes of shaking, breathwork, and bringing awareness back into my body.

I’ve noticed that when I take that time in the morning, my energy feels more grounded and steady throughout the day. Less reactive. More present.

Shaking in particular has become a cornerstone of that practice. It’s a simple way of helping the body move and release energy that might otherwise stay stuck in the system.
Animals instinctively shake after a stressful moment. Our bodies know this language too.

And if shaking isn’t your thing, there are so many other small practices that can support the nervous system — breath, gentle movement, grounding. We discussed this in women’s circle last night and it was really helpful to hear all the practices that others find helpful.

For me the most important thing is finding something that resonates and feels supportive in your own body. It’s amazing how a just a few intentional minutes can shift the tone of the entire day.

What practices and routines do you find helpful in creating more stability and steadiness in your system? Share below and let’s help each other build our toolbox of practices.

As an herbalist, this time of year is a kind of quiet dreaming season. The snow may still be deep, but my thoughts are already wandering into the forest… thinking about the plants that will soon return, the scent of warming earth, and the medicines that will be gathered and made in the months ahead.

Lately I’ve been sketching out new preparations, dreaming up summer formulas, putting together tick defense kits, and stocking up on summer essentials.

I notice that many of my most creative ideas & new projects arrive in this liminal space between winter and spring — when the land is still resting, but something beneath the surface is quietly preparing to grow.

It’s a time of listening.
A time of possibility.
A time of dreaming things into being.

I’m curious…

What are you dreaming into right now as we slowly make our way toward spring?

Can you feel it yet?

Something subtle is shifting.
Even here on the North Shore — where winter holds on a little longer - the light is beginning to change.
The days stretch just a little further.
The sun feels warmer on your face.

The Spring Equinox marks the moment when light and dark are perfectly balanced.

A threshold between seasons.

A chance to pause and ask yourself:
What am I ready to release
from winter?
What is ready to emerge in the season ahead?

Join me on March 21st, we will gather for an afternoon of gentle yoga, sound healing, cacao, and reflection to honor the Spring Equinox and welcome the return of the light.

Saturday March 21st 1:00-4:00
