Landed back in the swamplands yesterday and easing back into life here. 🐊☕️🌞

I’ve been fortunate enough to receive a lot of unexpected bodywork over the last month, and it’s been one of the biggest contributors to how steady I feel right now.

When our body is regulated, we think more clearly, are more present, and in general have more capacity to practice being human.

I Am SO grateful to be spending the weekend with a friend I grew up (in Virginia) with. This morning I’m making us breakfast, then giving her a long bodywork session before I head back down to Southwest Florida tomorrow.

Bodywork really is the gift that keeps giving; and I’m blessed I get to do work that lets me show up for people I care about. 🙏

Truth be told I had a lot of resistance towards coming back to my hometown this past summer.

And now to my surprise… I’m honestly really going to miss it. I’m grateful to know I won’t be starting from scratch next summer though.

So many unexpected blessings came into my life this year and I feel like I’m returning to Florida a new version of my Self.

On top of all the sweet clients I got to meet and support, and the hilarious and kind colleagues I connected with… I also received over 10 hours of bodywork within the last week and I haven’t felt this free in my own body… maybe ever?

It has me leaving with a renewed sense of optimism and clarity where I’m seeing the light; that I can operate as booked and busy this season in SWFL… but without the burnout. What a gift.

What a gift… 🎁

Thank you to everyone who supports this work, in any form. I don’t take it lightly. Whether you book, refer, share, or simply stay connected, it all matters more than you know.

Thank you for allowing me to do what I do.

Winter staples while I’m in Virginia.

It snowed here last week… 🥶 even though I grew up in the DMV area, I am definitely a Florida girl at heart these days... So while I’m dreaming of humidity, here’s what I’ve been using to keep everything from drying out:

• hand creams have been a godsend lately. As a massage therapist I wash my hands and forearms as much as a surgeon, and combined with the freezing air here… I can’t be out here working my magic while feeling like sandpaper lol.

• serum is a staple for me year-round, but I’m thankful it’s an inexpensive product because I’m going through it a lot more this time of year. 😅

• Lip Balm is a no brainer to lock-in moisture.

• is my latest obsession… Chocolate in warm water have replaced my daily cafe fix (with a lot more added benefits too). ☕️

• Sugar Cookie deodorant… hear me out on this one! I know it’s a little unconventional (hi 👋 lol), but for the girlies who love bourbon vanilla… I can’t gatekeep. I first came across a sample last year and it actually held up in the Florida heat. I get a lot of compliments on it, including from clients who I share close proximity with. I love that it’s an effective natural deodorant that doesn’t smell overly sweet or make my skin react. It’s a limited edition holiday scent but because it works with my chemistry and I’m picky about scents in general, I stock up annually now.

These products have been my saving grace this December and I’m so grateful. I wanted to share here in case you’ve been dealing with the same winter skin situation.

If you’re interested in any of these links, drop a ❄️ emoji and I’ll send them over!

Stay warm & safe out there. ⛄️

I’m not big on pushing people to buy things… but if you’re already shopping, these are the swaps that actually matter.

I was talking with a friend recently about fabrics and how they impact our bodies (especially ones still growing). She’s been learning more about , , and , and she told me she wanted to start transitioning her kids into cotton… but she felt overwhelmed and assumed it would be really expensive to do it all at once.

Totally valid.
And honestly? Most of us feel that way when we first learn this stuff.

I reminded her that it doesn’t have to be a full overhaul to make a difference. Even one or two basics per person shifts exposure over time. And you don’t need fancy brands to start… , , , , and even some of the budget lines have 100% cotton options. GAP even carries organic cotton on sale pretty often.

I personally began making these changes gradually over a couple years. First I started with underwear since that’s a direct contact zone, and then last year I took advantage of ’s sale, and am looking to transition my to next. I also had cotton shirts made for my massage practice, since in Florida it gets pretty dang hot!

What matters most is swapping the pieces that sit on your skin the most: underwear, bras, socks, tees. Think heavy-sweat, heavy-contact areas. Little changes add up!

If you’re shopping this weekend, focus on the things that actually support your skin, lymph, and hormones. It doesn’t have to be perfect… just consistent.

Two years ago today, during Thanksgiving week, my life as I knew it turned to dust.

A long-term relationship ended, family stuff blew up, and the first signs of mold poisoning showed up before I even knew what was coming. Within months I’d lose hair, energy, confidence, and the version of myself I used to recognize in the mirror.

What’s wild is that when I took this photo, I had no idea I was about to walk into one of the hardest chapters of my life… or that it would be the chapter that pushed me toward , work, , and eventually writing a book to help other people make sense of their own symptoms.

Seeing this is like a “timestamp” from the moment right before my life rerouted itself.

I’ve been slowly climbing out of that season ever since… rebuilding my health, my work, my identity, and honestly my relationship with myself. And it’s taken me two years to finally feel like I’m becoming someone I actually recognize again.

If anything, I’m sharing this because I know how many people hit their breaking point around the holidays. And if you’re in a season where your body feels unfamiliar or your life feels upside down, you’re not alone… You’re not broken… And you’re not “too late.”

I’m still healing too.
And I’m sharing what I’ve learned so far so nobody feels as lost as I did back then.

If you’re trying to understand in a way that actually feels doable, my beginner’s guide is linked in my bio. It breaks down early signs, prevention, and what you can do to support your body if symptoms have already started.

Comment “mold” and I’ll send the link right to you!

I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made…
and for the people who’ve been here along the way.

I’ve been seeing some new faces around here, so here’s the quick version of who I Am and what I do.

I’ve been in this field for over 15 years, and I don’t call my practice .love.wellness because I beat people up with deep tissue… but because I don’t like to sugarcoat. 😇 Most people find me when they’re done spinning their wheels, ready to get real about what their body needs, and over feeling like practitioners are giving them the same copy-and-paste advice.

I work with athletes, desk-jockeys, and chronic-illness cuties alike… anyone whose body feels overloaded, puffy, tight, or just “off.”

My work blends hands-on recovery, lymph + fascia support, somatic cues, and simple bioenergetic basics that help get you out of your head and ground you back into your body. Realistic, doable, and built for actual humans with actual lives.

If you’re new here, welcome. 👋

If you’ve been here, thanks for sticking around. 🥹🫶

And if your body’s been asking for help louder than your schedule… you’re in the right place.

I’m currently offering in-home sessions in Northern Virginia and South Florida, and virtual consulting if you’re not local. Message me anytime if you’re not sure which option fits. I’m happy to point you in the right direction.

🤍

Staying with my grandmother this year has taught me this is so true. 🥲

11/13/2025

I made this yesterday before the shutdown ended, but I’m still sharing it because a lot of families are still feeling the ripple effects… and not everyone gets immediate relief.

When I was a kid, one of my core memories was my mom getting her friends together to make over a hundred brown bag lunches just before Christmas for years.

Then on Christmas morning, we’d drive into D.C. and pass them out to people without homes. It was always freezing. I remember being around 10-12 and seeing other kids living on the street with their parents. It left a deep ache that you don’t forget.

I thought about that yesterday while walking through Walmart. Being back home and meeting so many people affected by the shutdown made me wonder: what could Thanksgiving for four look like on $25 or less?

So I looked.
🦃 (Chilled) Rotisserie Chicken x2 - $7.94
🥣 Stuffing mix – $0.97 to $2.97 ()
🍠 Sweet potatoes + brown sugar + cinnamon – about $6.25 total
🥫 Green beans – $0.50 each

That’s about $19-$22 (including 2x gluten/dairy free mac) before tax. It’s not much, but it’s something.

These last two years have been humbling. Now I’m just really focused on gratitude… for food, warmth, connection, and the privilege of not thinking too hard about groceries most days.

If you’re still feeling the effects call 211 or visit
FeedingAmerica.org, FindHelp.org or WhyHunger.org to locate local meal pickups and community food programs.

And if you can give, please do.

Save or share this for someone who could use a little help making holidays happen this year. A gentle reminder that a meaningful meal doesn’t have to be fancy to be full of love.

One simple way to give this season: next time you’re at a place like , grab a bulk pack of socks and/or menstrual pads, maybe some granola bars too. Keep them in your car for when you see someone on the streets. Small things like that can mean warmth, dignity, and care when it’s needed most.
