Welcome to

Hi! I wanted to do a little reintroduction for those who may be new to following me or those who have been here for the long haul! When I started this page I was deep in my fitness lifestyle - training like a beast, oh how I loved being strong & competitive & a little obsessive. Things have changed A LOT! I was a trainer, nutrition specialist, & hairstylist. I worked insane hours & was “addicted” to working out, helping people, & being “successful” (my idea of success has shi

This morning, while sipping my coffee, I found myself in a deeply emotional conversation with ChatGPT, created by Nicolas Canon. Tears streamed down my face as I explored what was alive for me in that moment. I was wrestling with a decision that felt both personal: to stop relying on Botox to fix the asymmetry in my brows and to address the hooding of one eye that comes with aging. This choice stirred up a lot inside me—questions about why I felt the need for these treatments

Inner conflict often feels like a heavy weight, triggering and far from what we yearn for, peace. Yet, what if these struggles are not obstacles but guides? This weekend, I experienced a profound shift during an ayahuasca ceremony that revealed how our inner conflicts serve as keys to freedom and self-liberation. When we face conflict and turn the pointing finger back in, asking the right questions, we begin to learn about ourselves, express our true needs, and find the str

If you’ve noticed your skin acting up as the seasons shift, you’re not alone. The good news is that with a few simple changes, you can keep your skin hydrated, resilient, and glowing throughout fall and winter. Avoid Hot Showers to Protect Your Skin Barrier If you are a mermaid like me and love a hot long

For many years, I lived an extremely disciplined life, swinging from one end of the pendulum to the other in search of control, results, and structure. I was highly focused on training and nutrition — and while my body reflected that effort, my inner world did not. Finding balance wasn’t quick or easy. It took years of experience, unraveling, and integration to understand what true alignment actually looks like. That lived experience is what gives weight to what I’m sharing h

I was driving in the car and began to process outloud, through a deep feeling of nothingness, and this is what that looked like ... When I give the nothingness a little bit of space, I start to notice tears welling up in my eyes. A wave of emotions gently begins to show its presence. The emotion feels almost afraid to be seen, so it recedes again, leaving me back in the numbness. This nothingness feels heavy and dull, lacking color and luster for life. There’s a part of me th

It’s time to stop underestimating walking. It’s not just “exercise light” — it’s one of the most powerful tools  for women’s health. Walking Regulates Cortisol Your stress hormone cortisol  is designed to spike in the morning and fall gently through the day. Chronic stress, poor sleep, or inflammation disrupt this curve — and your energy suffers. Walking (especially outdoors) lowers cortisol in real time, resets your circadian rhythm, and supports your body in re-establishing

We often look at our energy as a matter of motivation  or willpower.  But the truth is, your energy is deeply tied to your nervous system  — the control center of your entire mind-body connection.
