Last Sunday I found a postcard lying on my bedroom floor, Reader. I now have it sitting on my desktop as a reminder.
On May 21, 2016, my niece wrote to me about wanting to leave the Air Force early to apply for UT Austin. She talked about various possibilities and how "many badass jobs were finally opening up for females" and mentioned how hard it was to focus where she was. Almost as if she felt limited by her current options.
At the very end, she wrote, "Your turn. Tell me your immediate goals and long-term goals and everything else."
Reading her words felt sacred in more ways than one. You might have already guessed it, the niece who wrote that postcard is the same one who passed away nearly a year ago. Seeing her handwriting felt like hearing her voice again, that beautiful mix of unrelenting bravery and curiosity she always embodied.
She always wanted more, always believed more was possible. And even though she talked about leaving the Air Force early, she stayed a few more years.
Not because she wasn't courageous, but because sometimes we weigh our options. We wait. We tell ourselves maybe it will feel clearer later. We convince ourselves we need just one more sign.
I've been doing something similar for longer than I care to admit, Reader.
You see, I've been mulling over the idea of closing the in-person part of the studio for quite some time.
And it isn’t because I don’t love this work, it’s because I care deeply about how I show up to it.
Over the last year, so much has changed. Grief has reshaped my internal and external landscape. So much in my personal life has shifted. So much is still in the process of integration. And, to be quite honest, the logistics of running a brick-and-mortar space, which once felt manageable, now requires a different level of energy and bandwidth.
Holding space for you, in the studio and online, has been more than an honor, the work itself has never been overwhelming. The parts that have weighed on me are the practical realities that come with maintaining a physical space.
This decision is also about integrity.
If I encourage you to soften your grip, to trust the exhale, and to release what no longer feels aligned, I have to be willing to do the same.
I never want to guide from depletion or show up to this work from a place of strain. Moving fully online allows me to nurture my energy so I can continue holding you with steadiness, presence, and care.
You'll continue to receive the same attention, care, and intention, just without the drive across town.
If you've ever worked with me, in person or online, you may have heard me say, "We release old ways of being on the exhale to make room for what’s unfolding on the inhale."
I realize that I also need to embody that same teaching in my own life.
We let go not because something is wrong, but because something has evolved.
My niece’s postcard felt like the final confirmation I needed to truly acknowledge that it's time to yet again answer her question about my immediate and long-term goals with honesty.
So here it is. I'm closing the physical studio, ending all in-person sessions, and shifting my work fully online as of March 27, 2026.
What will be ending:
- Reiki sessions
- Restorative yoga classes
- Group breathwork classes, workshops, and private sessions held at the studio
What will continue online after the studio closes:
- Tarot readings
- One-to-one breathwork
- Emotional Energy Healing
- Group breathwork classes
Plus, onsite and home visit sessions where I come to you will still continue. Many people don’t realize that this work has never been confined to the studio walls. I’ve always brought it into homes, workplaces, retreats, and intimate gatherings. And I’ll absolutely continue doing so.
Onsite group breathwork, tarot parties, corporate wellness sessions, and private events will remain available, as will one-to-one sessions including breathwork, tarot, emotional energy healing, and group breathwork classes.
And of course, all sessions will continue online, allowing you to receive the same depth of support from the comfort of your own home.
If you've purchased a package within the last six months, I've already reached out to you personally with your options.
And if you’ve been thinking about booking an in-person session before this chapter closes, this is the moment to honor that experience.
Perhaps you’ve felt a transformational shift in the studio, found clarity there…
Or perhaps you’ve only ever worked with me online and are simply witnessing this shift from afar.
Either way, there is something meaningful about consciously honoring transition.
You don't have to wait until everything feels overwhelming to come in or prove you're struggling enough.
You can book a session simply to acknowledge your growth, your resilience, and the insights you have already gained.
The studio has been a container for so many of your sacred moments. What makes those moments powerful, though, was never the walls. It was your willingness to breathe, to soften, and to show up for yourself.
This transition allows me to continue the work in a way that honors both my capacity and my calling. And it gives you continued access to support, whether online or onsite.
If your heart has been nudging you to return, I'd love to hold space for you before this chapter closes.
Whether you return before these doors close or continue with me online, know that you have always been part of this unfolding.
Thank you for letting me hold space for your becoming.
As always, the light within me truly does see, honor, and respect the light within you
