❣️29❣️

A sense of peace lives within the temple of my body, guiding me forward like a beacon. Weaving threads of magic along the path, I trust myself as I embrace this next chapter.

I feel wiser—purposeful in heart—as I welcome a chapter that feels like medicine for my soul’s true expression.

Growth requires trust in timing; believing that life is unfolding exactly as it should.

There is a rhythm to it all: the push and pull, the dance of life guiding us not where we want, but where we need to be.

Learning lessons in boundaries, while staying open to the joy that lies ahead.

I want to do better—to love myself more deeply by listening to the environment around me, to respond from an heart space and not reactionary.

I feel like an adult now. I know I am wiser.
But in the duality of living, there is dying.
We celebrate life and fear death—yet all living things will pass on.

We’re all doing our best with the tools we were given.

I’m learning to step away from others’ expectations and move more deeply into my own truth.
To cultivate better communication—with those around me, and with the tissues beneath my hands as I deepen my studies.

To embrace stillness as a form of loving awareness.

To be gentle with myself.
To listen to the needs of my body.
To step more fully into my heart, my body, and my mind.

Cheers to this next chapter of living 🌹& dying 🥀

Thank you for you all ❤️You really know how to make a girl feel special on solar return ☀️

🌹 Future Forest 2025 🌹

Everything happens for a reason 💫 the universe is always looking out for us!! I almost didn’t make it due to a sprained knee from training, but my supportive friend group encouraged me to show up. Healing happens in community. Having a safe space to be myself was the nourishment I needed this summer. Community, nature, and music >>> I haven’t laughed this hard in such a long time! Dancing to my friend’s sets and letting the bass vibrations resonate with my heart, I fell deeply into the forest and remembered that the love in my heart was ready to be witnessed. 💫

Grateful for the boogies with the crew. ❤️

I didn’t take enough pictures, to capture the joy of the weekend. But the memories made, will last a lifetime 🥰

Trust in the rhythm of chaos to guide you to authentic self-expression 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Creation springs from chaos. Embrace exploring unique possibilities, often found on the road less traveled, where your soul’s true expression lies 🦋 Your wisdom weaves crucial threads in collective healing, demanding the courage to risk failure for a lasting legacy 💫

Love yourself as deeply as you love nature’s beauty, for you are its greatest creation 🌸 By being kind to yourself, you contribute positively to the greater good of humanity.

How is everyone’s August going?

I feel as though I’ve stepped into a new dimension of living—one I’m proud to embrace, yet nervous about the unknown. Trusting in the roots of self-value and integrity, I feel more prepared than ever for this next season of growth 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Restorative Yoga series begins third week of September 🙏

I have openings for September! I am looking for clients with knee issues, as I prepare to begin my second year of osteopathy next month!

🦋July stirred deep within my bones. In periods of growth, the wild feminine nurtured my wounds, softly whispering it is safe to be loved and seen. Nurturing and gathering in sisterhood allows us be held and seen as we weave our threads, stitching moments of truth and moving forward in authenticity. R e m b e r your W I L D S E L F.

Working with the 🌹 r o s e 🌹 reminded me of my feminine nature, enabling me to safely express truth and creativity. Listening to the beat, my heart ♥️ finds its rhythm again. I step into a new threshold, celebrating the victories over darkness that make space for light in my heart. Open to receiving, nervous yet stronger than before stepping into a new threshold, I crave creation, diving deeper into the path ahead and cultivating the capacity to hold new knowledge. Taking it one step at a time and trusting the N O W 🔥

🍉🍉🍉🍉

Love starts with self, and how we show up for ourselves is how we show up in the world around us. Be the light you want to see; through the interconnected webs of life 🕸️ we all can make a difference by being kinder and more compassionate to the world around us. It starts from W I T H I N

🌸 New Post on Substack 🌸

I’ve finally managed to organize my thoughts after a whirlwind year of learning. My poor nervous system was in overdrive as I navigated the transition back to deepening my studies, managing the growth of Kindred, and maintaining my own well-being. It’s been a challenging experience, but through it all, I’ve fallen more in love with myself. I’m eager to see what the second year of my studies will bring and how it will shape me. I hope to share more on Substack and take you along on this journey, with the hope of inspiring you to explore the ‘why’s in your own life. 🌀🙏🦋
