Have you watered yourself today? 🌱
We’re not machines. We need sunlight, rest, movement, and care.
You are worthy of tending.
You are worthy of healing.
You are worthy of truth.

Because your life matters.

✨ Imagine this…
You walk into a space where you feel seen.
You feel heard.
You feel safe.

You’re not sure what you’re going to get,
but you arrive with an open mind,
and are guided through a beautifully curated experience
that leaves you feeling lighter.

🔥 That… is a Backyard Burn.

It’s not a cookout.
It’s not just a gathering of friends you haven’t met yet.
It’s a sacred fire ritual—
a space to release what’s weighing you down
and call in what you’re ready to welcome.

Sometimes we break down to build up.
Sometimes we let go so joy can take up space.

If you’re in NYC, you should come.

📅 Saturday, November 8
⏰ 6:00 PM
💸 $55

No matter how you arrive,
you will leave feeling lighter.

I dipped my toe in Walden Pond.
A frog joined me.

I stopped journaling and held him in my hand.

Then strangers came, and we talked about memory, loss, and the beauty of being witnessed.

I record moments like this because my family carries Alzheimer’s.
If I forget, maybe the videos will remember for me.

I’m a grief transformation coach.
And I’m still transforming, too.

🐸A frog sat with me. So did my grief.

Frogs carry deep symbolism in many Indigenous traditions—often representing cleansing, transformation, and connection to water as a healing force.

I'm grateful that as I often witness others, the frog was there to witness me.

This is the kind of moment we honor in The Holding Space.

Grief had a grip. I danced myself free.
✨ Sometimes grief feels like stillness.
Like being stuck in the same room with your pain.

That’s where I was this day in Atlanta—frustrated, heavy, questioning myself. I almost didn’t go. But I knew if I moved, even alone, something would shift.

💃🏾 I danced. For hours.
This clip is just one moment—one breath of freedom.
I was held. By community. By rhythm. By Spirit.

Dance is how Spirit moves through me.
It’s how I move grief through me and not get stuck in or around me.

Dance is a somatic healing gift from my ancestors—and I share it with my clients as part of our grief transformation journey. Un gran despojo.

🌿 In The Holding Space, I teach you how to build your own grief toolkit—rituals like movement, journaling, and breath that carry you back to yourself.

There are 5 spaces left in this cohort.
Only 1 scholarship remains.
Healing might be just one conversation away.

💬 DM me “HOLD ME” and let’s talk.

☕️🖊️ Start the day. Quiet breath. Open journal.

If grief feels heavy when you wake up, give it space.
Not to “fix” it—just to let it exist.

🌅 Try this:
– Pour your favorite drink
– Sit quietly, breathe
– Set a timer (5, 10, 15 minutes… you choose)
– Write—one sentence, one page, or three pages. No rules. No judgment.

Some mornings it’s messy.
Some mornings it’s just a line.
Every morning, it’s an act of honoring both love and loss

💛 This is one of many rituals you’ll learn inside The Holding Space.
There are only 2 spaces left.

➡️ DM me “HOLD ME” and I’ll send you the link to set up a time to talk.

You don’t have to carry this alone. 🌻

Save this for when you or a friend needs it.

✨ You don't have to carry Grief alone.

You’re doing all the things…
but inside, you’re barely holding it together.

You used to thrive—now it’s like moving through fog.
Exhausted. Numb. Overwhelmed.
Even if you look “put together,” you feel like a stranger to yourself.

💔 That’s not weakness. That’s grief.
It reshapes your inner world. It asks:

Who am I now?

The woman you were is gone.
The woman you’re becoming hasn’t fully arrived.

💚 You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Join me in The Holding Space:
💫 A 12-week grief transformation journey
💫 A safe space where sorrow + joy can sit side by side
💫 A chance to reconnect with your body, breath & inner wisdom
💫 A soft, steady return to the fullness of you

Here, you are not rushed.
You are not “fixed.”
You are witnessed, supported, and gently called forward.

✨ This is where we learn how to make joy from pain.

➡️ DM me the words TALK and I’ll send you the link to book a private call.

There are only 2 spaces left before we begin.

In August, I set a fitness goal: a 30-day plank challenge.

Why planks? Because it’s a full-body workout in under 5 minutes.

I made it through 25 of the 30 days. And I planked *everywhere* — on the beach, on my NYC block, at the Intrepid Museum, even in full makeup while waiting for a cab in Martha’s Vineyard.

Here’s the truth: the hardest days weren’t on busy workdays, but on vacation and travel days. By the time I tried to “make it look right” or “wait for the perfect background,” I was already too tired.

What did I learn? Do the hard things first. If I’d just dropped down in my PJs — no camera, no perfect angle — I would’ve nailed all 30.

Perfection is a trap. Waiting to “get it right” often turns into not doing it at all. The time is now.

That’s the same energy I bring to *The Holding Space.* Healing isn’t about performing — it’s about showing up as you are, even if it’s messy.

💛 DM me “The time is now”
