Curls, but with intention ✨
Diffusing isn’t just about speed, it’s about structure and definition.

When curls stay wet too long, the hair shaft swells and lifts the cuticle (hello frizz + fatigue).
Diffusing gently sets the curl pattern in place, locking in definition before that happens.

And here’s the part people miss
removing excess water actually helps the hair hold onto moisture.
Less swelling, less stress on the strand, more elasticity, more shine.

So it’s not just volume
it’s protection, longevity, and curls that feel as good as they look.

I began my journey with Reiki and energy work just prior to the pandemic.

It supported me deeply in my own healing and expanded what I believed to be true about who and what we are as humans.

At the time, I didn’t have the language for it
but I could feel something shifting in me.

It began opening awareness of my subtle senses and my energy body in a way I hadn’t accessed before.

I grew up in religion, and within a Western cultural framework that taught me to place truth outside of myself.

And in a family system where emotions were often something to move past rather than move through, I learned early how to disconnect from what I was feeling.

Over time, I began to realize how out of my body I had become.

And how much of life I had been navigating from the mind alone.

For me, healing began with returning to the body.

To sensation.
To presence.
To what is actually here.

Reiki became one of the practices that supported that return.

Not by adding something new… but by helping me listen differently.

And that listening changed the way I work, create, and hold space—especially in my beauty practice, where supporting the whole being in the chair is a foundational part of what I offer.

The softest shift with a little fringe to frame the light of the sweetest soul ✨

Thank you for your trust, support and beautiful presence 🦋

04/15/2026

Just over a month in this sweet little sanctuary and I still catch my breath when the light moves through it ✨

This space feels like a threshold, an in between place where who we were and who we are becoming meet. A soft doorway into something more aligned, more alive, more true.

There is something deeply sacred about being here and offering my work in this way. My magic, my rituals, my presence… it all feels held by the land, the light, and the energy of what this place is becoming.

So much gratitude for ‘s love and support in this unfolding… it is woven into the heartbeat of this space.

It is more than a location. It is a living enchantment. A place of healing, beauty, and becoming. And I feel so grateful to offer from here 💫

a weekend that felt like a portal photo-dump ✨

birthday… anniversary… and becoming
closing out my reiki master training
and for my birthday… made me a piece of my childhood with my favorite cake 🥹 something so simple, so sacred, so remembered

from there… straight into real life magic
dinner with the fam, full hearts and full plates
karaoke courage and laughter that lingers

and a hike through the gorge on the most wildly blustery day… wind in our faces, reminding us we’re alive

so much gratitude for this life, this path, these people
for the becoming that never asks me to arrive… only to keep opening

feeling cracked open in the best way 💫

Feeling fierce and owning every angle in our Peacock 🦚Throne
Bold & Bright & Unapologetically Herself ❤︎

04/03/2026

I spent years sharpening my technical skills and teaching them to thousands of others. Lines, angles, precision… it’s all important, and I love it.
I totally swoon over it every time.

But here’s the thing: all that skill doesn’t just land on the outside.

There’s so much more.

It lands energetically too, in how someone experiences their hair, themselves, their presence. Art and feeling matter just as much as the perfect line or perfectly executed haircut.

As an educator, I’m always keeping my eyes on what being provided and honestly there’s so many other lenses we can also be looking in hairdressing.

Over the past few years, as I’ve been expanding my craft holistically & leaning into hair archetypes and seeing how shape, touch, energy, and feeling move together.

A cut isn’t just what looks perfect on paper, it’s how it feels in the body, in the heart, in the story of the person sitting in my chair.

I’m still discovering and exploring, staying curious not just about how hair lands, but why it feels the way it does for each person.

ok but… the sink? she’s kind of magic 💫

it may look like we’re just we’re washing your hair,
but your nervous system is like…

“oh… we can land now”
“it’s safe to soften here”
“we don’t have to hold everything”

the sound of the water = instant exhale
and then… the bowls come in ✨
soft sound bath layers your body feels before it even understands

this is where I get to nurture, care and tend to more than your hair

I’m holding you here
a little reiki woven in
a little guided drifting (you know the one…)
a little “fill your own cup back up” moment
and a whole lot of intention 🌟

and you get to just…
receive
allow
and be curious
no thinking, no doing
just filling your cup back up

and suddenly it’s not just a shampoo…
it’s a reset
a recalibration
a soft return to yourself

03/24/2026

It’s never just about the haircut.

It’s about how it still feels after you leave.

Day 3…
still not washed
still feeling like her
still lit up

This is the part people don’t always see.

When the energy stays. 💫
When you don’t feel the need to fix or fight it.💫

That’s alignment.🌟

Love these sweet moments guests share with me thank you ☺️

03/21/2026

Over the years I’ve come to trust that shape
creates feeling.
Lately, I’ve been leaning into understanding more of the why.

I’ve been in a quiet study of sacred geometry…
noticing how circle, square, triangle, and spiral show up through hair.

Where a line lands,
where a layer meets the face, how movement is either softened or directed…

It changes how we see ourselves.

Subtle triangles at the face guide your gaze, drawing focus to eyes and cheekbones.

There’s a softness of circle in the silhouette creating ease … something held but not forced.

There’s an internal spiral here, a quiet unwinding, return to self.

And what I’ve been putting into to action…
is these shapes don’t just change the look,
they support the archetype that’s emerging.

Some shapes call forward softness,
Some create structure,
Some invite movement, or release, or visibility.

And sometimes … the most “technically correct”haircut isn’t the answer.
Not if it doesn’t evoke the kind of care the person actually needs.

Because this work isn’t always about precision,
It’s about perception.
It’s about meeting someone where they are and shaping in a way that lets them feel it.

The haircut becomes the bridge between who someone has been, and who they’re ready to embody.

I hear this a lot in my chair….
“I just want whatever will make my face look less round.”

And honestly….
I hear it even when it’s not true
It’s just where the mind goes
a default
a learned place to land

Less full
Less soft
More angled
More defined
More acceptable

And yeah…. I feel it every time
Because what’s wrong with round?
Nothing in nature is out here trying to sharpen itself into worthiness
the moon isn’t contouring itself
fruit doesn’t apologize for being full

Round is natural
Round is whole

And yet…
“I hate photos of myself”
“I don’t like how round my face is in pictures”

And I’ll say this first…
there’s nothing wrong with wanting to change your hair or how you look
to feel more aligned with what you feel on the inside
that desire makes sense

A haircut can shift how you see yourself
it can support you
frame you
bring something forward that you want to feel

I believe in that work deeply
But let’s not pretend that the lens we’re looking though is neutral

There’s always something behind the curtain
standards built on just enough shame to keep you questioning yourself
an industry that profits off you never feeling quite right

Images are filtered
edited
curated into something you were never meant to live up to

And over time
you start seeing yourself through that instead of actually seeing yourself

So yeah…I feel tension in my work

Because I’m holding space for what you think you need while also seeing very clearly that you, your face, your hair, your body, is not the problem.

It’s not just about round faces

I see it every time someone looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize themselves
or only sees what they’ve been taught to fix

I feel the grief in that
the disconnect
the quite self rejection that’s been normalized

And I’m in it with you
but I’m also not goin to fully agree with it

Because a lot of what you think is
“wrong” with you
was taught
has been programed

So I have to ask…
What would it feel like to meet yourself in the mirror and choose your reflection on your own terms?
Not from shame
not from lack
But from intention and from expression
from actually liking what you see
