Serenity One Sanctuary

02/06/2026

Someone asked me after my last post, “How do you learn to trust your intuition?”

When I read that — I stopped and took a breath, because the honest answer isn’t glamorous, fast, or linear.

It’s lived.

It’s earned through listening… mislistening… doubting… overriding… and finally — returning home to your own inner knowing again and again.

Trusting my intuition didn’t arrive like a lightning bolt. It grew like a muscle. Quietly. Through repetition. Through paying attention to how my body felt when something was aligned — and how it tightened when it wasn’t.

At first, I confused intuition with excitement.
Then I confused it with fear.
Then I confused it with other people’s opinions.

Discernment takes practice.

Your intuition is rarely the loudest voice in the room — but it is the steadiest.

For me, learning to trust it meant slowing down enough to feel my nervous system response. Before Spinal Flow ever became part of my work, before I ever held space for others, I had to learn how to read my own internal signals. Tight chest? That’s a no or a not-yet. Soft breath and grounded belly? That’s a yes or a move-toward.

The body speaks before the mind explains.

There were times I said yes when my inner voice whispered no — and every single time, my body kept the receipt. Not as punishment — as guidance. That’s something I now teach every day in nervous system work: your system is always communicating. Always orienting you toward safety, truth, and alignment.

Intuition is not magic reserved for a chosen few.
It’s a relationship with yourself.

And like any relationship, it deepens with:
Consistency.
Honesty.
Repair.

You build it by checking in:
What do I actually feel here — not what do I think I should feel?

You build it by honoring small nudges — not just dramatic signs.

You build it by letting yourself be wrong without making yourself broken.

Some of my best business decisions at SOS didn’t come from spreadsheets or trends — they came from a quiet inner nudge that said, this is the next right step. Spinal Flow. Energy work. PEMF and red light offerings. Products that carry intention instead of just ingredients. None of it followed a traditional mold — but it followed truth.

And truth has a frequency you can feel.

People sometimes think intuition should feel dramatic or mystical — but most often it feels simple. Clean. Grounded. Like a steady internal yes that doesn’t need to shout.

Fear feels urgent.
Intuition feels anchored.

Fear says: decide now or else.
Intuition says: this way — when you’re ready.

The more you regulate your nervous system, the clearer your intuition becomes. When the body feels safer, the signal comes through with less distortion. That’s why practices that support regulation — breath, stillness, Spinal Flow, sound, PEMF, time in nature — they don’t create intuition. They remove the static so you can hear it.

You don’t learn intuition by trying harder.
You learn it by listening softer.

And most importantly — by acting on what you hear.

Start small.
Low-risk decisions.
Follow the nudge.
Track the outcome.
Build evidence with yourself.

Self-trust is built through kept promises — especially the quiet ones no one else sees.

Your intuition is not trying to make you perfect.
It’s trying to make you aligned.

And alignment will take you further than any mold ever could.

Trust the whisper.
Trust the body.
Trust the unfolding.

The Universe speaks — but it often uses your own inner voice to do it. 🫶

February 6 — Walking Between Worlds

Planetary energy supports integration over action today. You may feel between identities, between chapters, between clarity points. That space is sacred — not stuck.

You are recalibrating, not falling behind.

Affirmation:
I honor the space between endings and beginnings.

What are you gently transitioning out of — or into?

02/05/2026

When I first decided to take the real jump into Spinal Flow Technique — not just research it, not just circle it, not just go down the rabbit hole — but truly step toward becoming a practitioner… the one thing that held me back was simple:

I had never experienced it myself.

I didn’t want to facilitate something I hadn’t felt in my own body.

I didn’t want to teach what I hadn’t lived.

So I went to the practitioner locator fully expecting I’d need to drive to Utah or Colorado just to receive a session. I was already planning the road trip in my head.

And then — surprise and divine alignment — I discovered there was already a practitioner right here in Green River: my friend Karen at Salt My Soul.

And I’ll be honest — an old pattern rose up instantly.

Guilt.
Hesitation.
That conditioned thought: “There’s already someone doing this here. Maybe I shouldn’t.”

That’s what past experiences with other practitioner spaces had taught me — brace for territorial energy, brace for competition, brace for comparison.

But this time, I chose differently. I cleared the noise and reached out with honesty:

“I want to be fully transparent — I plan to become a Spinal Flow practitioner. But I really want to experience it first. Can I book a session with you?”

I was prepared for resistance.

Instead, I was met with open arms.

Genuine excitement.
Encouragement.
“Absolutely — that’s amazing — let’s get you scheduled.”

No guarding.
No scarcity.
No high-school energy.
Just heart.

Karen and I have now been doing Spinal Flow together for 11 months. Eleven months of me trusting her hands, the work, and my nervous system’s ability to recalibrate and reorganize.

After my very first session, I knew.

Not intellectually — cellularly.

My body felt something I had never felt before — a kind of internal exhale I didn’t know I’d been waiting my whole life for. That session was the moment I stopped circling the work and stepped fully into my yes.

What means the most to me is this:
She never treated me like competition.
She treated me like community.

Two practitioners.
One town.
Shared passion.
Shared purpose.

When the mission is bigger than the ego, collaboration becomes natural.

We share practitioner stories, compare notes, and talk through what we’re seeing in the field. We support each other’s growth, celebrate each other’s wins, and hold space for the learning curves too. There’s something powerful about having another practitioner you can be real with — someone who understands the nuance, the responsibility, and the awe of this work. Growth feels different when it’s shared instead of guarded.

Karen — thank you.
Thank you for your openness.
Thank you for your integrity.
Thank you for walking beside me instead of guarding in front of me.
Thank you for showing me what practitioner sisterhood can look like.

There is room for all of us when we serve from truth.
And I’m deeply grateful to be stepping into this next chapter with that kind of example lighting the way. ✨

I had a fellow practitioner asked me, “How did you get where you are?”

And I smiled a little — because depending on the day, the honest answer is — I don’t feel like I have it all together at all. Most days it’s intuition, faith, and a whole lot of pivoting in real time.

From the outside it can look seamless — a solid community, a strong foundation, a loyal tribe, a Sanctuary that feels alive and held. But what people don’t always see are the inner recalibrations, the doubt, the course-corrections, and the moments I’ve had to sit with myself and ask, what is actually true for me here?

What people see now inside SOS looks like a beautiful container. A steady one. A safe one. But it was not built from a perfect past.

It was built from the trenches.

It came from a very human me — who has walked through addiction, abuse in many forms, deep grief, and heavy weights carried for a large portion of my life. I was not polished. I was not “ready.” I was not healed and wrapped with a bow.

I was a beautiful broken mess glued together with gold, trying to find my shine again.

And maybe that’s exactly why this space holds the way it does — because it wasn’t created from theory. It was created from lived experience. From falling down and getting back up. From learning safety inside my own nervous system one layer at a time.

When I first opened, I tried to follow the traditional small business path. The advertising formulas. The coaching models. The step-by-step systems. I took the classes. I listened. I tried to do it “right.”

But every single time it felt like trying to force a puzzle piece into a space it didn’t belong.

I have never been built for a box.
And my business was never meant to grow inside one either.

What I was building wasn’t just a storefront — it was a living, breathing healing space. A place where people come to soften, to reconnect, to feel safe in their bodies again. That kind of work doesn’t grow from loud advertising and cookie-cutter strategies. It grows from presence. From consistency. From being there when someone walks through the door carrying something heavy and unseen.

I remember a time when I only had 100 followers.

Now there are over 3,500 — and to this day that still feels surreal to me. Not because of the number, but because of the humans behind it. The stories. The trust. The shared growth.

But it didn’t happen overnight.

This has been six years of showing up. Six years of learning. Six years of pivoting and shifting and recalibrating. And I will continue to pivot and shift for the rest of SOS’s existence — because living things evolve, and this Sanctuary is alive.

So I stepped back from the formulas and leaned into something riskier:

I trusted my INTUITION.

Learning to hear that inner voice was trial and error. I tried things that didn’t work. I invested in ideas that flopped. I got excited about directions that crumbled just as fast as they came together. I learned how to pivot. I learned how to shift without making myself wrong. I learned how to be fluid in a very solid, structured world.

There were moments of heartbreak. Moments of betrayal. Moments where trust was given and not honored. Early on, those moments hit hard. But they didn’t break me.

Now I see them differently.

Now I see divine timing.
Redirection.
Spirit saying — not this way, keep going.

I don’t cling to what falls apart anymore. I listen for what wants to form instead.

You can’t fit into a mold you were never meant to fit into.
And trying will cost you more energy than creating your own shape ever will.

We are taught — especially as business owners and practitioners — that control equals success. That we should manage emotion, polish the message, keep everything contained and predictable.

But energy and emotion were never meant to be controlled.
They were meant to move.

Emotion is motion.
Energy is current.
The nervous system reorganizes through flow — not force.

Every time I tried to control the path instead of listen to it, I felt the friction in my body first. Tight breath. Mental noise. Creative shutdown. Because control is often fear dressed up as responsibility.

Flow is different.

Flow listens.
Flow responds.
Flow adjusts without shame.

Leaning into ourselves doesn’t mean being chaotic — it means being honest enough to notice misalignment and brave enough to change course. It means allowing emotion to inform us, not rule us. It means tending our frequency as much as our strategy.

Some days flow looks like momentum.
Some days it looks like rest.
Some days it looks like truth-telling and recalibration.

But it is all movement. All intelligence. All guidance.

What built this community — what built this Sanctuary — wasn’t perfect strategy.

It was authenticity.
Consistency.
Vulnerability.
Showing up as a human, not a polished brand.

Letting people see that life has highs and lows. That healing isn’t linear. That leadership doesn’t require pretending you’re never wobbling. The more honest I became with myself and my community, the deeper the connection grew — because people don’t gather around perfection.

They gather around truth they can feel.

I stopped trying to reach everyone.
And started serving the ones who were ready.

I stopped performing.
And started being.

If there’s one thing I would say made the difference, it’s this:

I built from truth, not template.
From soul, not strategy.
From presence, not pressure.

I stayed open.
I stayed willing.
I stayed human.

And I gave myself grace — again and again and again.

That’s how it grew.
That’s how it holds.
That’s how it flows.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for showing up for yourself.
And thank you for believing in me — and in what we’re building together. 🫶

I can’t wait for the next chapter.

Nothing like spending the morning in the kitchen with something slow, savory, and made with intention. Today it’s chorizo cabbage soup — completely from scratch — even the black beans. No cans, no shortcuts, just real ingredients and real care going into the pot.

Fresh roasted green chilies 🌶️ , red, yellow, and orange bell peppers 🫑 , mushrooms 🍄‍🟫 , spinach , onions 🧅 , black beans 🫘 ,low-sodium vegetable broth, hearty cabbage 🥬 , and rich chorizo all layered together and simmering into something that feels like comfort and love in a bowl.

When we prepare food from scratch, we’re not just feeding the body — we’re signaling safety to the nervous system. Warm, mineral-rich, fiber-full, protein-supported meals tell the body: you’re cared for, you can soften now.

It’ll be ready by dinner so my hubby doesn’t have to cook tonight — and that feels good on my heart. He carries that role so often when I’m at the Sanctuary until 6PM. This is my way of saying I see you, and I’ve got you today.

Nourishment isn’t just about food — it’s about care, reciprocity, and the quiet ways we show up for each other. 🥣✨

✨ Illumina — Signature Ritual Incense

The final one of the seven blends that somehow didn’t make our first release list — and this one brings such a beautiful lifted clarity.

These sticks are now fully dried, hand-dipped, and ready.

Notes: Ylang Ylang • Sweet Orange • Vanilla
Affirmation: My awareness opens and light moves through me.
