I hope the sun is shining for you - but if not, that's ok - you can love yourself anyway.

There is undoubtedly some scary shiz happening in the world, you can't ignore it - and nor should you try to.

We generally learn life's lessons in two ways: the easy way and the hard way. Joy and pain. And it's true that most of the time we get to...

What comes to mind when you think about self-care?  Is it: A) Something to practice when you're frazzled and approaching a burnout...

The seasons are shifting. Over here in the Northern Hemisphere, leaves are beginning to turn and drop; the light is beginning to fade. ...

I haven't been eavesdropping, and I can't read your mind - BUT - I bet I can tell you what you've been thinking about most. Look at your...

If you've been around for a while but never had a session with me, you may be wondering: what's it's actually like to work with me -...

It is undoubtedly a LOT easier to heal from things if you understand them. BUT you don't have to. I see a lot of clients get tripped up...
