Release, Reclaim, and Radiate Day 2

11/13/2025

Dragons, roses 🌹, crystal eggs, and a bowl of herbs for steaming…. Playlists, meditations, and practices are set and on the schedule, which will surely flow in its own way once we get going. What am I getting up to? Just prepping for my Release, Reclaim, and Radiate women’s retreat where we will use ancient practices like qi gong, womb awakening, and breathwork to clear and awaken the feminine shakti energy. Thank you to my mentors and teachers who paved the way and passed down their wisdom. hope to honor them though sharing some of what they shared with me which has been so deeply transformative in my life. 16 women are joining me in Maine this coming weekend for a weekend of sisterhood, connection, and remembering 🐉💜🌹

On November 7th, I'll be speaking at the NH Association of Naturopathic Doctor (NHAND) conference about one of my favorite topics: how to manage being an empath or highly sensitive person. I call it: "How to be a High Functioning Empath" - a class I created for my patients, my colleagues, and my younger self who really needed this info a while ago (reflecting on my "low functioning empath" days in my teens and 20s)!

If you want to learn more about how to stop taking on the emotions and energy of other people as well as clear energetic blockages, check out my free Empath’s Firewall 5-day guide: https://highfunctioningempath.com/

As naturopathic doctors, we're trained to hold space for our patients' healing. But nobody teaches us how to NOT take their energy home with us. Protecting your energy doesn't close you off—it helps you stay open, present, and grounded with patients. Here are 2 energy protection practices I teach ...

I talk about libido with my patients... it can be a cautious topic to approach because everyone has a mix of feelings about it and there is commonly some experience of shame mixed in. This is why I like to talk openly about it and am sharing here. You're not alone...

For me, I used to think that libido was something that some people just had and some people didn't. I was in the "not much" category.

As a naturopathic doctor and Qi Gong instructor, I’ve treated hundreds of women with hormone imbalance. Some respond beautifully to therapy. Others—despite “perfect” labs—remain completely numb.

That was my story, too. I tried everything: supplements, hormone replacement, lifestyle changes....

Until I started addressing what was buried underneath.

The real libido blockers...

In Chinese medicine, sexual vitality = life force energy. And the biggest blocks I see?

👉 Anger we’re told not to feel
👉 Grief we never fully process
👉 Fear of being too much, wanting too much
👉 Shame. Shame. Shame. Personal, ancestral, generational.

When these emotions and energies stagnate, libido stagnates with them.

Hormones are messengers. But if the “energetic pathways” are kinked, the message can’t get through.

It’s like pouring water into a hose with a knot—nothing flows.

That’s why some patients thrive on hormone therapy while others, with identical labs, feel nothing.

For me, it wasn’t until I faced years of suppressed anger—rage I didn’t even realize I was carrying—that my body woke up.

Behind the anger was grief. Behind that, shame.

And once that energy started safely moving through and out of my body?

👉 My libido / life force came back stronger than ever
👉 My cycles regulated.
👉 My energy and creativity soared
👉 My life changed

Low libido isn’t always a chemistry equation. Often, it’s an energetic traffic jam caused by unprocessed emotions.

Because sometimes it's not hormones. It’s permission to feel. This is true for women and men.

Because of my own journey, I became certified as a Womb Awakening practitioner through the Institute of Feminine Arts. In my retreats, I teach and guide women how to move through the emotional layers that block their life force and creative energy. We use Qi Gong, we talk, we breathe, we dance, we laugh, and we draw from ancient practices and wisdom that celebrate our life force energy.

If this calls to you, reach out. I have 2 spots left for my November retreat!

You can’t just think your way out of today’s tough stress, frustration, or anger.

I recommend physically moving those emotions safely through and out of your body.

So many people are carrying these emotions.

And for good reason.

The world feels heavy.

News cycles are constant.

Even small daily pressures add up until they feel overwhelming.

As a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist, and energetic hygiene teacher, I’ve learned:

👉 Anger doesn’t just disappear.
👉 Stress doesn’t vanish on its own.
👉 Frustration stored in the body eventually creates symptoms.

That’s why I use and teach Qi Gong.

It’s not complicated.
It’s not time-consuming.
It’s not another “coping strategy.”

It’s a practice that helps you move tough emotions out of the body instead of letting them get stuck there, creating a wide range of symptoms.

In this short video (3 minutes), I’ll show you two of my favorite, very simple Qi Gong techniques for clearing stress, frustration, and anger out of your body.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, parent, leader, or anyone else, you deserve to show up fully without carrying all that tension inside you.
