IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! 🥳♓️🎂
✌️ out 37 and hello 38!
This year's gonna be great! 😎💫

Thank you to my Higher Power 🙏🤍
And shout out to all my people! My family, my friends, my clients, my supporters - much love and gratitude to you all 💞💞💞

At 37, I started my massage therapy biz 🤗🫶 (a bold & brave move) after completing my training program at age 36 at the San Francisco School of Massage & Bodywork (another bold & brave move).
Let's see what this next trip around the sun brings! 🌞
With the year of the fire horse energy and Neptune + Saturn newly in Aries (greeting my 9th house of travel, spirituality, publishing, & higher learning), we've got a lot of creative, new, fiery goodness to work with ❤️‍🔥 yee-haw!

My intentions for 38:
🤍Getting regular massages for myself - I'd love to find other MTs to do trades with 💞
🤍Making new connections & expanding my network 💗
🤍Embracing my fire (Leo Rising + Aries MC, Venus & Jupiter) 🔥 & Balancing it with my water (Pisces Sun & N. Node + Cancer Moon + Pluto Scorpio)🌊 ->Practicing creative action from intuitive insights ✨️
🤍Having better boundaries with screen time & reading more books 📚
🤍More travel & exploring & wonder & awe 🗺
🤍More training/courses to continue growing & helping others 💆‍♀️

📸 from the final weeks of the year of the snake 🐍- oh, the shedding!
This is all leading up to the Lunar New Year - Year of the fire horse 🐎❤️‍🔥 + the solar eclipse in Aquarius.
Trusting the shedding, the timing, all that's coming to the surface.
Eclipses (and big uranus transits) are always a turbulent time - and I feel it in my nervous system⚡️
So I'm leaning into MORE self care & rest & grounding.
And forever looking for the silver lining.
And choosing to trust that its all in my highest good even if I have no idea how yet 🙃

1. Spirit guide came to visit 🦋✨️
2-15. Hike at Mt. Tamalpais Watershed - did an 11-ish mile loop, including a good part of Cataract Falls Trail (one of my absolute favorite places in the Bay Area) ✨️💦🤍
Unfortunately, this is where I sprained my ankle with ~2 miles to get back to my car 🤕
16. The drive home with the Full Moon 🌝 🌉
17. Flowers from my mama 💛
18. 🫶 on 101 N
19. Ankle sprain ~an hour after injury 😥🧊
20. Bruised & healing ❤️‍🩹

02/11/2026

Today would've been a hiking day for me - it's been one week since I sprained my ankle - I'm trying to focus on the basics and what I can control during this forced slow-down 🤍
Daily movement is important to me for my physical, mental, spirtual, and energetic health 🤍
Being able to do a (slightly modified) version of my usual stretch routine today felt like such a win 🤍
This is an opportunity to slow down, connect to my body, and practice mindfulness 🤍
I look forward to getting back to my massage therapy practice and helping others on their healing path 🤍
Bookings available starting in March 💫
