Day 6 — Presence Is What Love Actually Feels Like
We talk about love like it’s a feeling… but love is presence.
It’s attention.
It’s staying when things get hard.
It’s offering your whole self without abandoning your needs.
Presence is how we show love to our partners, to our children, and to our own heart.
Without presence, relationships starve.
Reflection: Where can you be more present with the people who matter most?

Day 5 — Presence Interrupts Generational Patterns
Children don’t need perfect parents.
They need present ones.
Presence is what stops the old patterns — the yelling, the shutting down, the emotional distance — from repeating.
Every moment you choose awareness over reaction, your lineage shifts.
This is the heart of my work: helping women become the version of themselves their younger selves needed.
Mantra: Presence is how I break cycles.

Day 4 — Presence Brings Clarity
When we’re scattered, overwhelmed, or heartbroken, presence pulls us back to truth.
It reminds us of what’s ours to carry and what isn’t.
This is why healing work is so transformational — presence clears the noise long enough for your intuition to speak.
Clarity rarely comes from thinking harder.
It comes from coming home to yourself.
Affirmation: When I am present, I know exactly what I need.

Day 3 — Presence Creates Connection
Most people think connection comes from talking.
But real connection comes from being with someone — eyes soft, heart open, nervous system grounded.
Your presence is felt long before your words are.
With your family, your clients, your relationships… presence builds bridges where defensiveness once lived.
Practice: Put your phone down for 10 minutes and truly be with someone you love.

Day 2 — Presence is the Medicine the Nervous System Craves
Our nervous systems are starving for slowness, safety, and regulation.
Presence is what tells the body, “You’re safe now.”
It’s why my sessions work the way they do — they slow the system enough for the body to exhale.
Your kids, your partner, your own heart… they all respond to the same thing: a calm and anchored you.
Reminder: You don’t have to fix everything. Just be here.

7-Day Series: The Power of Presence
Day 1 — Presence Heals What Avoidance Protects
When we finally sit with what hurts instead of running from it, something shifts.
Presence brings truth to the surface—truth we’ve been carrying for years.
In my work, I watch bodies soften the moment someone feels safe enough to be present with themselves.
The same is true in our families and relationships.
Avoidance might protect us for a moment, but presence is what brings the healing.
Affirmation: I am safe to be here with myself.

✨ Healing is not a one-time experience. It’s a lived practice. ✨
Day 7 — Devotion to Self
Accountability isn’t harsh discipline.
It’s devotion.
Devotion to listening.
Devotion to pacing.
Devotion to staying with yourself even when it’s uncomfortable.
Place a hand over your heart and say:
I choose to stay.
Feel what that commitment stirs in your body.
Healing is the daily act of not abandoning yourself.
There is no one-and-done in nervous system healing.
There is only relationship, responsibility, and return.
And you are capable of all three.

✨ Healing is not a one-time experience. It’s a lived practice. ✨
Day 6 — Integration Over Intensity
Breakthroughs mean nothing if they aren’t integrated.
Healing doesn’t happen in the moment of release —
it happens in how you live afterward.
Accountability asks you to slow down enough to let the body catch up.
After any practice today, pause for 60 seconds.
Let your nervous system register the shift before moving on.
Depth comes from integration, not urgency.

Day 5 — Nervous System Commitment
One session can open the door.
Only practice keeps it open.
Regulation is not a destination —
it’s a daily relationship with your body.
Accountability is choosing nervous system care even when life is busy.
Take 5 slow exhales today — longer out-breath than in-breath.
Let your body feel the difference between urgency and safety.

So I've debated on how deep to go into “Who I Am” for months…to the point of just not doing it and dragging my feet in putting myself out there. That, however, will not help anyone - myself included, so here goes!
I was raised in a dysfunctional family (this is putting it lightly and I'll be going into that deeper in my blogs as time unfolds so keep your eyes open and ear to the ground), filled with generational pain, drug and alcohol abuse, and a general lack of Faith in the Divine/God/Source or whatever resonates most with you if any of it.
The highlights of the generational dysfunction include having children far earlier than society deems natural, marrying too young and an over-all case of pure self-loathing that manifested in a broken marriage, physical and emotional violence, and a seemingly deep-seated addictive personality to anything that would numb the pain of existence (money, s*x, alcohol, drugs, and dangerous living).
The pattern would seem to be being broken in one area only to pop up in another place and time with the same general outcome; mother's suffering from anxiety and depression, father's displaced from the lives of children and back to trying to numb the pain all over again!
It seemed like a never-ending circle of hopelessness and anguish that just wouldn't go away! Then trauma hit my oldest daughter and I decided enough was enough… I REFUSED to watch my children ”suffer” the same living experience I had (I had believed that the cycle had already been broken… boy, was I wrong!). I realized the only way to break the pattern was to actually do something different, take different steps than had ever been taken before and to stop pretending that the problems didn't stem from ME first and foremost. That was the hardest thing for me, realizing that each and every decision I made (sh*t-past or not) had brought us to that pivotal moment in our lives. To say that my oldest had finally decided that she was done living the life she had been given is putting it lightly… She helped blow the lid off the entire facade and has brought much needed healing to our family unit 💞
Sometimes our lives have to completely collapse around us before we can see the light… Before we can go inside and start healing the past pain, trauma and dis-ease in our lives. Often we are so blinded to the ‘truth’ that the glass ceiling must fall before we are even able to start looking at where it all came from and what started it all. This isn't blaming our past for the life we live nor is it blaming our parents or our ancestors because I firmly believe we ALL do the very best with what we know and until we know better nothing really changes… Once we know better we do better! Each generation does better than the generation before because we all want to be a better version of what we lived.
Life as I knew it fell down around me almost two years ago and the changes I've seen in myself, my children and those around have been incredible… I won't pretend it's been easy because it hasn't HOWEVER I will promise you it's worth it! There is nothing more empowering than taking the reins in your own life, taking ownership where ownership is due and learning another way live…
If you've had past trauma, family dysfunction, drug/alcohol abuse, anxiety or depression, are feeling stuck in your life, are in physical pain or suffering from any Mental Health concerns or are just done with living a life of pain of any kind then reach out, Reiki has truly saved my life in so many ways, in all ways actually!
There's not a day that goes by that in not thanking the universe for bringing in my beautiful teachers, mentors and all the AMAZING people I've met these past two years… I no longer “live” my past but have learned to love it (most days anyway and the days I'm not loving it, I'm learning to love myself for where I am instead) and all of the lessons it's given me.
Brighter days are possible for All of us and I would be honored and grateful to help you help yourself 💞
