Have you ever seen such a hard working pug before? 🥰 clocked in and providing all the emotional support.

Before sessions, I move slowly and intentionally — not as a “routine,” but as nervous system and energetic preparation. As a chronically ill therapist, this has become essential.

Earlier in my career, I worked in settings where I saw many clients back-to-back throughout the day. There wasn’t space to pause, reset, or tend to my body between sessions. Over time, I learned how much that pace was costing me — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Now, I limit the number of clients I see and hold intentional practices before sessions to help me show up more present, grounded, and sustainable in my work.

I begin with Florida water to cleanse and release anything I’m carrying so I can enter session focused on the client, not the day before them.

Alegría y Milagros goes onto areas of pain or tension. a way of asking my body and nervous system for support while I hold space.

The Luminary from helps with confidence and radiance on camera. Being perceived for hours, especially in virtual work, has a real impact on our nervous systems. Also ya girl is NOT wearing makeup daily and the glow from The Luminary is *chefs kiss!

The High Priestess from Fantastical Nowhere is for spiritual protection. Therapy is relational, emotional, and often spiritually heavy work.

Dulce Amor is a reminder to trust myself — imposter syndrome doesn’t disappear just because you’re experienced.

And Rooted Abundance grounds me in the truth that this work needs to be sustainable for me, not just meaningful for others.

This is part of how I’ve shifted my practice — from survival mode to intention, from volume to care.

For fellow therapists: how have your pre-session practices or boundaries changed over time?

When I see another Latina therapist in Texas on a spiritual journey trying out spell and ritual oils, I just have to share mine! Thank you for sharing your unboxing video ! I hope Dulce Amor is the sweetest to you! 🥰🥰🥰

I’m a little obsessed with this one 😍

🩸 𝕴𝖓𝖙𝖗𝖔𝖉𝖚𝖈𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕷𝖔𝖛𝖊 𝕭𝖎𝖙𝖊𝖘 🩸
A limited edition ritual oil for February inspired by gothic romance, self love, and magnetic desire.

Love Bites was created for moments when you want to feel more alive in your body, more connected to your sensuality, and more confident in your own allure. This blend is bolder and spicier than Dulce Amor. Think romantic vampire energy rather than soft pastel hearts.

At the heart of Love Bites is damiana, a powerful aphrodisiac herb that has been used for centuries in Mexican and Central American herbal traditions to support desire, emotional warmth, and nervous system relaxation around intimacy. Damiana does not create urgency or obsession. It helps you feel present in your body, open to pleasure, and receptive to connection. When you feel safe and embodied, attraction flows naturally.

This blend also includes rose, hawthorn, jasmine, lemon balm, and sensual oils like geranium, vanilla, frankincense, and black pepper. All work together to support confidence, magnetism, and heart centered desire.

Love Bites will be available in 1 oz bottles for $20 and will be debuting at the Love Bites goth Valentine’s market. Quantities are limited and this is a small batch release.

Whether you are calling in romantic love, deepening self love, or simply wanting to feel more radiant and embodied, Love Bites is here to support you. 🩸💋

Have you secured your boo thang for Valentine’s Day? 💌 tag them

A reminder that joy is not ignorance.
Whimsy is not weakness.
Love, laughter, softness, and play are how we survive systems that try to harden us.

We can hold hands, make valentines, laugh with our dogs, and still be deeply committed to justice.

Keep your joy. Keep your tenderness.
It belongs to you and it’s powerful. 💘

🥊Mink mink 🥊 Okay I may not encourage you to actually fight someone, but I will provide a safe space to experience and express anger. The movements will be added bonus. As women, we’re often taught to suppress anger. That leads to excess cortisol in the body and other health issues. Often leading to things like autoimmune issues. Let’s get that anger out, babes! 🥊🥊

Fun fact, I’ve had more than one client share that they’ve had dreams about me fighting their opps. I got you bb 🤣
