Dharma is right action, it is answering the call to bring forth the gifts that already live inside you. You could think of it as trusting your own wisdom, listening to your intuition, or following your gut.

Your dharma isn’t fixed. It shifts as you grow, as your circumstances change, and as the world calls for your participation in new ways. Right now, our bodies are aching for us to listen so we can live fulfilled and happy. The world is aching for us to live on purpose so we can be the antidote to the noise, the division, and overwhelm they use to keep us disconnected. When you bring your bright light, your unique way, your intuition, and your highest self fully forward your ripple effect is powerful.

That’s exactly what the Year of PURPOSE is about - helping you name, claim, and live your dharma so your life aligns with the work only you can do.

If you are ready. Let's dive in, we start Sept 15th

Response-Ability: Healing only YOU can access.

Tuning your RESPONSE-ABILITY is fundamental to your wellness.

How tuned is your ABILITY to RESPOND to the messages of your body?

RESPONSE: reply, acknowledge, react, answer
ABILITY: capacity, skill, aptitude

Can you feel it, when we turn this word on its head, shake out our old definition that feels heavy and burdensome, and reclaim its power.

Responsibility invites us to know ourselves, to have and effective and honest "ability" to hear and "respond" to all the ways our body, mind, and spirit speak to us.

It is POWERFUL.

It is powerful to pause - just for a few breaths - to feel where we are, rebalance, and soften. To feel.

So often when we ask the question “What can you do?” the mind answers with a rolodex of external advice: everything we've learned, read, heard, seen online. Stuff we can buy and book.

But when we take Responsibility? The answers came from somewhere else.
An internal knowing.
Somewhere we’ve never been taught to listen.
A wisdom that doesn’t live in textbooks, but in you.

As you learn to listen, you hear more.
As you hear more, you respond better.
Your Response grows. Your Ability grows.

It is not an obligation. It is not guilt.
It is your power to choose the next step toward your own healing.

If you’re ready to step into your Response-Ability, this is the work we do.

Curious about Yoga, Ayurveda, & living with more clarity?

The Sister Science Launch Party
Monday, Aug 18 | 7–9pm
Found Books & Shop, Cochrane

Come celebrate a 15-year-old love child that began as a humble yoga class on the floor of the Cochrane RancheHouse common space.

Over the years, it’s grown into a community of people reclaiming their intuitive wisdom, breaking old patterns, and directing life with intention.

Through lifestyle tools, real conversations, and human-to-human support, we bring honest awareness and personal truth into our decision-making.

If you’re looking to find your people, hang out in a space filled with books, laughter, and meaningful conversation - come check us out.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:
* Our favourite books & tools on display
* A trademark drop-in meditation to get us all juicy (just once!)
* Sneak peek at the 6 Sister Science courses launching this fall

Come see if this path fits with where you’re headed.
Our goal: to polish and support all the bright shiny lights in the world—like you.

55 spots already gone, lots of room for more.

Imagine you have a personal board of directors guiding your every move - each selected for their specific skill set: body, breath, mind & emotions, intuition, and your bliss.

Each of these "board members" (aka the 5 Koshas) brings a unique perspective, wisdom, talent and ability to the table.

The trouble is… we often make life’s biggest decisions listening to the loudest one in the room, not necessarily the wisest.

When we give them all a seat at the table - when we slow down enough to hear from each representative - we can finally make choices that will guide us toward health, wellness, ease and joy.

In my latest blog post, I share how to identify your board members, how to listen beyond the noise, and how to let your whole self weigh in before making the next big move in your life.

Read now and meet your Advisory Board for Life.

📚 Choose your book.
🌀 Join your circle.
🌙 Begin the next chapter of your becoming.

Practice Beyond the Poses ✨

This is not your average 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training.
It’s for the person who wants to go deep - into their own practice, into the roots of Yoga + Ayurveda, and into the art of holding space with confidence, clarity, and embodied presence.

This is ancient wisdom with modern mentorship. We want you to embody the theory behind these practices, using their skillful tools to bring your voice to the forefront. This training goes well beyond the poses, deep into the philosophy and energetics of Yoga. Platforming your unique voice, bringing to fruition your specific gifts and talents that the world needs right now.

If you've been waiting for a sign... this is it.
Your mat is calling.
Your voice is rising.
Your next chapter is here.

Only 5 spots left.

Whoa Bend. What a great town. We had a full, fun weekend and even the concert rain delay couldn’t make us salty. A Friday night Art Walk with all of down town having a bit of a buzz on, Saturday biking Phil’s trails, Sunday hiking Misery Ridge. Monday picking up my purse from a restaurant I forgot it at the night before.

Thank you to the amazing staff at Pine Tavern not only for the full Rack of ribs even my husband couldn’t finish. But for letting me in 4 hours before you open so I could still catch my flight today.

And Caamp… so great. Worth it! for An amazing sing along night.

Thank you Bend.

This podcast episode won't be for everyone.

It is for those who have had to become the caretaker, the peacemaker, the adult too soon. For those untangling themselves from a parent's pain and learning, sometimes slowly, sometimes all at onece, that love without boundaries isn't really love at all.

Chelsey shares her store of walking away.

Walking away from a relationship with her mother; not from bitterness, but from the hard won clarity that it is the most loving thing that you can do - let go. What unfolds in this conversation is a raw, intimate reflection on grief, truth, and the courageous act of choosing a different path.
