I was zen doodling the other day, Reader. It’s a practice I’ve only recently taken up. At first, I felt this pressure to "do it right", to make the lines clean and balanced. Like there was some invisible standard I was supposed to meet. About halfway through, something in me softened. My breathing slowed, my grip loosened, and the need to make it perfect fell away. That’s when the page before me started to change. Not because I tried harder, but because I stopped trying to control it. It made...

This is usually the time of year when I take a step away from the newsletter and let the studio rest for a few weeks, Reader. And part of that is still true, this year has been anything but typical. Not just for me, but for so many of you. There’s been a lot of change, a lot of grief, and yet still woven throughout, moments of joy too. And all of it deserves to be honored. While I’ve paused my regular schedule for the rest of the year, I’ll still be in the studio solely to hold space for The...

I’ve been receiving some thoughtful questions about The Sacred Threshold, and if you’ve been curious too, I wanted to share a few answers with you here, Reader. Whether you're feeling unsure, new to this kind of ritual, or wondering if it’s the “right time”, just know this: your questions are welcome here. And so are you. The first in-person group ritual is this Saturday, Dec 20th, so if you’ve been feeling the pull, this is your gentle nudge. And if that date doesn’t work for you, don’t...

I've been thinking about the message from this card I've been seeing a lot of this year, Reader. I pulled it earlier this year in the summer. Not by accident, not randomly, but after I guided myself through breathwork, intentionally asking for a sign from my niece who passed away this January. And it’s been showing up for me again and again… especially over the last few months. The card’s message is simple, celebrate your wins. But something about the following words really struck a cord deep...

Yesterday, I was creating a playlist for a group breathwork class, Reader. It's something I love doing, especially when I know the right music helps people feel safe enough to soften, let go, and breathe. If you’ve done breathwork with me more than once, you probably know the song Home by Mama Yaya. It’s the one I almost always play at the end of our sessions 😉 While I was adding it to the playlist, I felt this unexpected wave of emotion. I realized it had made it onto almost every playlist I...

Yesterday, I had the joy of reading tarot at a beautiful Houston event, Reader. A Halloween costume drive for children living in a local shelter. The donation drive wrapped up with a Costume & Cocktails celebration, and I got to share 5-minute readings with about 30 guests.I created custom speads for the event. They were short, simple, and to the point. Just enough to crack open the door to clarity. And you know what struck me? Even in just five minutes, people walked away lighter, clearer,...

I've been a little quiet in your inbox lately, Reader. Not because I’ve forgotten you, but because I’ve been working behind the scenes on something that feels really special. Here’s what happened… One client asked me if I’d ever thought about training others to teach breathwork.The next day, two more asked.And then another. By the fourth ask, I knew this wasn’t coincidence. It was synchronicity. The universe doubling down. Truth is, I’d already been playing with the idea for quite some time....

You know that sinking feeling when you leave time with someone you love and instead of feeling nourished, you feel… drained? Believe it or not, that used to be me with my mom. I loved her so much, but I found myself either overextending or pulling away. Neither felt good. But, Reader, one day I heard something that stuck with me: You might think you have five years left with someone, but really you only have the number of moments you spend with them. If you only see someone once a month for...

I had a client recently who came in completely exhausted. She’d hit her limit, emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward. But she remembered she had one breathwork session left on her package… and she used it. Afterward, she said,“I forgot how powerful this is. I feel lighter, clearer, and like myself again. I wish I hadn’t waited so long.” And honestly, Reader? I felt a little jealous of her in that moment, because I know how good it feels to just stop, reconnect with...
