Every breath is its own. Not one of them repeats. Something sacred in that.

If your soul has been craving a little more connection, stillness, or inspiration, I’d love to invite you to join me this June.

June 12–14 at
This weekend, I’ll be assisting Jacqui Bonwell and Johnny Gillespie at their Full Body Prayer Retreat at Kripalu. Through movement, mindfulness, community, and personal exploration, this immersive weekend offers space to reconnect with yourself in a truly powerful way.

Crystal Singing Bowl Sound Meditation
Give yourself an hour to simply be. Bring your blankets and pillows, get comfortable, and allow yourself to be fully supported as layers of sound, silence, and stillness create space to unwind, reset, and reconnect.

Hot yoga is where I finally stopped giving a f*ck.

Vinyasa in the heat is a challenging, demanding practice that meets me exactly where I am. It also takes me somewhere beyond myself every single time. (Mystic Fitness Yoga Studio in Framingham is my favorite place to practice.)

Some days I am in every pose. Some days I am in half of them. Both are exactly right.

I don’t give a f*ck what that looks like to anyone else.

My capacity, my injuries, my history. All of it gets a say.

There is no wrong way to move through a practice as long as you are actually listening. Whatever that looks like for you.

There was a version of me that felt helpless and hopeless. Rock bottom is where I finally found something solid.

I forget sometimes how hard it was to crawl toward something when I couldn't see a way through.

My daughter arrived by emergency c-section with complications and the life I stepped into after didn't look like anything I recognized. I was grieving two people I loved. I was in postpartum depression and anxiety before I even had language for it.

And underneath all of it, the core of me that loved my daughter, my husband, and me was still holding on.

I found yoga first. Everything else came after. Including a therapist whose office happened to be one floor above the studio I was working in. It all unfolded and I'm grateful it did.

That version of me deserves more credit than I give her.

Looking back now I can see it was more than just healing. It became a pattern of uncovering and discovering. Layer by layer. Peace with my body. Creative ideas that finally had somewhere to go. Practices that connected me to something I hadn't known was there.
I have the certifications.

I've done years of training. And I've done the inner work alongside all of it. That part is the hardest to explain and I think it's the most important thing I bring.

This is what I teach from. It breathes underneath everything I do.

And I hope for everyone crawling toward something they can't yet see that they find their way to ground beneath their feet again.

I realized a lot of what I was feeling wasn't coming from my life. It was coming from everyone else's opinions about it. Not all of what I was carrying was actually mine.

Somewhere in the middle of all of it I stopped recognizing what I actually wanted.

There are so many habits, routines, and products promising the balance I'm looking for. But when I stripped it all back and asked what I actually need to feel like myself, the answer was quieter than I expected.

What I actually need is to feel like myself during the day. That looks different every day but it always comes back to the same few things: some quiet, some movement, good food, real connection with my people and Ollie, something creative, something fun, and something I'm just curious about.

I'm not spending hours on any of it. But most days include all of it in some way, and staying flexible about how much time each gets is what keeps it from becoming another thing to stress about.

I'm simplifying. The rituals I keep are the ones that feel like mine. That's the only filter I'm using now.

And it's the same feeling that's been quietly guiding something I'm creating. More on that soon.

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. The coffee dates and dinners lined up with friends, my wonderful family making me feel so special. I don’t take any of it for granted.

I am in a place I worked really hard to arrive at. I have been practicing a lot lately and I keep uncovering depths in myself I hadn’t reached before. That feels worth celebrating too.

I am also in the middle of two very big projects. The risk, vulnerability and possibility of failing keep creeping in but I am trying to remember all the times when I felt a fire inside and followed it. When something takes root in you with that much passion behind it, something shifts. Wonderful things happen when you take the chance.

Being in my own practice this deeply has brought me a kind of peace I want to talk about. In myself, in my relationships, in the way I move through the world. It has also shown me what is possible when the work is real. And that is what made me notice how much out there isn’t.

There is so much out there right now and most of it feels the same. Generic, surface level, performed. People are craving something that goes deeper and that is the only kind of work I know how to do.

I have two open to the public offerings this June and I genuinely want you there. Mindfully reserve. Links in the comments.

Mindfully guiding you back.

I'd love to invite you to join me on Sunday, June 28th at 6:30 PM for a 60-minute crystal singing bowl sound meditation at Mystic Fitness in Framingham.

I created this experience as an opportunity to slow down, rest deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Bring a blanket, pillow, and eye mask, get cozy, and allow the soothing vibrations of the crystal singing bowls to support relaxation and calm.

$21 investment. No experience necessary. All are welcome.

Mindfully reserve.
