On one of my Follow the Water quests, I went to the Oceans & Flow retreat led by Violeta Lapa in the Azores, that combined, dance, free diving and water dance!

At one of the closing circles in the forest, I had just shared my We Are Water poem—a piece that came through me from water herself, and I stepped into the green waters. 💧

In that sacred space, I explored water dance, freediving, and the subtle, intimate ways we can deepen our relationship with water. The water held me, guided me, and reflected back a part of myself I had been longing to meet.

The movement, the buoyancy, the flow—it all reminded me how alive, powerful, and sacred water is. In this moment, I felt fully embodied, fully present, and aligned with the rhythm of the water.

I call this photo “Water Goddess”—a reminder of the fluid strength, grace, and surrender that water invites into our lives. 🌊✨

H2flOw™ Aquanatal 💧
A Restorative Water Class for Prenatal + Postpartum Mothers

Water offers deep support during pregnancy and postpartum—relieving pressure, soothing the nervous system, and creating space to move, breathe, and connect with your body and baby. Aquanatal is about being held, supported, and replenished through water as your body changes.

"Working with Anne in the water improved my back pain and other pregnancy related symptoms! The guided exercises in the water helped me release so much physical and emotional tension. I left the session feeling AMAZING. Anne’s aqua-natal session was AMAZING. I felt supported in the water and safe. Anne guided me through a variety of exercises that stretched and strengthened by body, while simultaneously helping me breathe and slow down my mind. This session was a 10/10. I HIGHLY recommend ❤️ Anne helped me connect with my body and baby. She has a true gift." - Mary

Channeled this poem in the Tecopa desert during a silent retreat.
Only I can see through the fog, clouds, distractions, unknown, what is right for me and the best way forward.

Water as Medicine: Temperature as Nervous System Regulation*💧

Water meets us where we are.
Sometimes we need warmth and holding.
Sometimes we need cool clarity and wake-up.
Temperature is one of the simplest, most accessible ways to **resource and regulate** the nervous system.

✨ Benefits

• Helps shift the body out of stress response and into safety
• Regulates the nervous system through sensation and presence
• Supports emotional release and mental clarity
• Builds body awareness and self-trust
• Offers a fast, accessible reset during overwhelm
• Encourages agency—*you choose what your body needs*

🌊 **How to Practice**

1. Check in first
Pause and ask: "Do I need warmth or cool right now?"
Listen to sensation, not habit.

2. Warm water for safety + settling
– Warm showers or baths
– Let water land on the upper back, shoulders, or belly
– Pair with slow exhales and soft breath
– Helpful when you feel anxious, tight, depleted, or tender

3. Cool water for clarity + boundaries
– Splash cool water on face, wrists, or back of neck
-- Take a walk in the crisp cold air for 5-10 minutes
– Rinse the hands or feet
– Keep it brief and intentional
– Helpful when you feel foggy, stuck, angry, or overwhelmed

4. Combine when needed
– Warm shower → brief cool finish
– Warm hands → cool face
Let contrast gently wake the nervous system without shock.

5. Close with presence
Turn off the water.
Place a hand on your body.
Take one conscious breath.
Notice the shift.

Water doesn’t force regulation—it invites it.
Let temperature be your ally this month as you build inner resources and return to balance.

Sunrise on the icy lake is a part of my morning ritual. Taking a moment in silence with nature to appreciate another day, a new and fresh canvas.
How do you connect with nature everyday?

This piece came through while I was teaching a yoga + art class focused on breath.
As I moved, I drew pinks, oranges, and greens and let them merge together. They formed this soft, colorful cloud — a place to return to, much like the breath itself.

After creating this piece, always return to the breath became something I practiced more fully in my own life. The art gave me a visual for air — something invisible, yet essential.

Something that can’t be held, only felt.

When I inhale, I imagine being energized and fully resourced.
When I exhale, I let go of pain, stress, discomfort, conflict, and doubt.

Now, I return to my breath throughout the day and let it guide my art, my body, and my nervous system. I come back again and again.

Breath is one of the simplest ways I stay resourced and regulated. When I slow down enough to notice it, I soften. I listen. I remember myself.

This Month’s Journal Practice: Resourced + Regulated

Take 4 full breaths
Inhale slowly through the nose.
Exhale loudly, mouth open.
Let the sound clear space.

Open your journal or sketchbook to a blank page.
Place your pens, pencils, or paints nearby.
No rush. No fixing. Just noticing.

1. When I feel overwhelmed, stressed, angry, or anxious, what happens in my body?**
(Examples: tight stomach, clenched jaw, shallow breath, racing heart, heavy chest)

Write it. Draw it. Map it on the page.

2. What tends to lead me here?**
(Examples: watching the news, driving, scrolling, conflict, over-giving, lack of rest)

Name the patterns with gentleness—no judgment.

3. When I notice these body signals and I am not resourced, what are three things I can do?
Think simple, doable, regulating
(Examples: step outside and breathe, drink water, place a hand on my belly, turn off input, move my body, take a warm shower)

Write three anchors you can return to.

Close by taking **one more breath** and placing a hand somewhere your body asks for support.
Let this practice be a reminder: Your body speaks first—and you know how to listen.

Winter exhaustion is real.
Not just physical tiredness — but the kind that lives in your bones, your breath, your nervous system.

When the world feels heavy, cold, and loud, I don’t try to push myself back into productivity.
I return to **water** — my oldest regulator, my home base.

Here are a few water ways I stay **resourced + regulated** in winter:

*Warm baths** to soften the body and signal safety
*Cold → hot showers** to gently reset my nervous system
*Saunas + steam** to release what I’ve been holding
*Walking along water at sunrise or sunset** — letting rhythm, reflection, and light recalibrate me
*Simply listening to moving water** when I can’t do anything else

Water doesn’t rush.
It doesn’t demand.
It meets us exactly where we are and reminds the body how to settle.

Winter isn’t asking us to bloom.
It’s asking us to restore, replenish, and stay resourced — so we can meet the world without burning ourselves out.

If you feel tired right now, you’re not behind.
You’re responding wisely.

Return to water.
It remembers the way back. 💙💧
