Embodiment Portrait Sessions are truly a transformative experience.

We share them often on here because they are so much more than just photos. They are a beautiful, bold statement to yourself and your healing journey. We feel so honored to offer them as part of our wellness retreats, either included or as an optional add-on.

My dear and talented friend .morningstar is not only an extraordinary photographer, she is deeply intuitive, a healer, and a guide. Her presence is naturally calming and uplifting. She has a gift for creating a safe space where you can step fully into your power and embrace your becoming. We are so grateful that she is sharing this experience as part of our Wild & Well Retreat in Montana…Yes, included in the retreat price! Can you even imagine that backdrop?! 🏔️😍

The magic continues with our Signature Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica, October 2026, where Sasha’s Embodiment Portrait Sessions will also be available as an add-on.

Because she puts so much thought and care into each session, giving her and yourself plenty of notice ensures the most enhanced experience. If this is something you’re interested in, go ahead and give her a follow, and let us know this is something you feel called to experience!

Comment “YES” is this is something you want to add to your 2026 wellness journey.

A cup of 100% cacao a day is a simple (and super delicious) way to support nervous system regulation! 🍫

Here's how:
🌙 It's high in magnesium
Magnesium supports the nervous system’s ability to settle into rest-and-digest. This helps the body feel safe enough to soften and unwind.

🌿 High in flavonoids
Flavonoids support healthy blood flow and brain communication, which builds resilience to everyday stress over time.

🔥 High in theobromine
This generates steady, alert energy. You'll feel awake but still calm, not jittery.

🤍 Somatic + vagus nerve support
A warm, unsweetened cup sends signals of nourishment and safety through the body, supporting vagus nerve tone and helping shift out of fight-or-flight.

🌺 Divine Feminine rhythm
Cacao is deeply tied to the divine feminine. It encourages us to honor cycles, emotions, intuition, and the body’s wisdom. It reminds us that regulation doesn’t come from forcing calm, but from feeling held.

A cup a day keeps the stress in check…and your chocolate cravings happy. Who knew nervous system care could taste this good?!

And when you let go of perfection, you might notice…life feels a little lighter, and your relationships a little closer ✨

It's the cracks and the quirks that make you, perfectly you.

✨ Balance is something you practice in real time.

It’s knowing when to push and when to soften. When structure supports your creativity instead of stifling it. When solitude feels nourishing, not like a fear of being seen. It's recognizing when you might be pouring from an empty cup and choosing to refill it.

This knowing comes from listening to your body, not your conditioned mind.

When you learn to listen, balance becomes more natural...because it’s what everything within you, and all around you, is constantly search for and moving toward.

⚖️ How are you finding balance today?

Noticing the good isn’t always easy, but it is always possible.

✨What’s one tiny thing you’re grateful for today?

01/19/2026

Intention is the force that gives your actions direction.

When you move through life with intention, you stop reacting on autopilot and start choosing. Choosing how you spend your time, where your energy goes, and what you allow to shape you.

It begins by simply asking: How do I want to feel? What am I choosing today?

Over time, those small, conscious choices compound into a life that feels grounded, aligned, and deeply your own.

👇 Name one intention you’re moving with today. Witnessed intentions have power!

You've probably heard of the vagus nerve. It's the longest nerve in your body, running from your brain down through your neck, chest, and gut. It’s a key player in your nervous system!

When it’s happy and working well, it helps you bounce back from stress, feel grounded, and notice your body in ways you didn’t before. But when it’s overstimulated, underactive, or worn down from stress, sleep deprivation, or constant busyness, it can leave you feeling anxious, tense, or disconnected from your body. The best part is, you can actually “train” it! Simple daily practices, like the ones above and many more, send signals that strengthen your vagus nerve over time, making your nervous system more resilient, balanced, and in sync with you.

It’s always working behind the scenes, trying to keep you connected and a little more in tune with your most authentic self…Sometimes it just needs a little extra love! 💛

If you’ve been wishing for more time, more clarity, or more ease, it starts with giving yourself permission to prioritize it. I’ll guide you there...step by step, at your pace.
