My husband has been traveling away from home for the last month and the world is pretty scary right now. I’ve been dipping into some very old and subtle energy of not feeling safe in my home at night. It shows up in increased hypervigilance before bed that includes lots of rechecking locks and doors, restless sleep with vivid ominous dreams and waking up with my jaw sore as heck from grinding and clenching. 2 days ago I decided to anchor into what my body was telling me instead of running away from it. I laid on the floor surrounded by my dogs and started to breathe. My body acknowledged for me: yes I am triggered, yes I am tired, yes I am frightened, yes my jaw is in pain. As I sat with this a very deep sense of safety began to hum in my heart and I let it build and wash over me. I brought in images of things that help me feel safe…my dogs, my partner, my children, my home with all its security features, my body moving now with out pain, my heart healed. Last night I had a beautiful dream. I was sleeping in bed and a dove was flying around my bedroom and then it came to rest in the space behind my headboard. Right there watching over me. I woke up with a profound sense of calm, very well rested and no pain in my jaw. Thank you Dove. 🕊️

Putting my 2025 clinical calendar to bed. Thank you for allowing me to support you in your healing journey. Everyday in practice is filled with so much love, a lot of laughter, many tears and a profound reverence for the capacity to heal from trauma. As the winter solstice nears remember the light in the darkness and know that it is always there for you. 🕯️

Very sad to let you know that sweet Shirley has crossed the rainbow bridge today. She loved absolutely every human she ever met and spent many hours on the couch in my office helping soothe many of you. She retired from being a therapy dog after barfing all over one of my clients. She spent her later years staring in plays as Simba, Sandy, Toto, And Nana and reached overnight fame on TikTok as Shirley the Step Dog. We are heartbroken but grateful to have had 10 years with her. Thank you ❤️

We are doing a Pandemic and a War now and this is what I look like at the end of a full clinical day. Using my hand with my grandmother’s ring on it to heal my weary eyes and protect and soothe my third eye. Next a hot bath with epsom and Dead Sea salts to remove impurities from my body and then some gentle stretching before bed. The attack on Ukraine has deeply rattled all of us and stirred up present and ancestral trauma in anyone with persecution, genocide, terrorism, and enslavement in their history. You may be weeping, full of fear and panic, seething with anger or stuck in a heavy freeze state. All of it is ok.

I am a Highly Sensitive Person. For years I just thought I was a pain in the ass! Too sensitive, too emotional, too picky, too finicky. Like the Princess and the Pea. One crumb in the bed and I can’t sleep, one itchy tag and my day is ruined, an airplane ride seated next to a person wearing cologne and I am in full blown migraine syndrome. Things that I am most sensitive to are synthetic fragrances (please don’t give me a smelly candle for a gift), synthetic fabrics, and bright artificial lights ( TMI but every time I go to target I have to go to the bathroom). I kept all these sensitivities a secret. A few years ago a dear friend outed themselves to me and the lightbulb went off in my head…I’m HSP too! I have since learned that high sensitivity is often related to Trauma and develops into a sort of survival strategy gone haywire. In an effort to stay safe The body thinks most everything is a threat. I am leaving this picture here today because the air is clear, my feet are in the sand and I am wearing the perfect organic cotton dress. At this moment nothing is sending danger signals to my brain. I am safe.
