May your choice to do nothing in the moment that it feels like you need to do everything, be your biggest reward today.

I know it will be for me

Nervous system regulation is certainly a buzz word right now. It’s starting to pop up on nearly every piece of content on my feed

Honestly, it not a bad thing, it’s an important topic that deserves the attention it is getting

The issue is when things get popular, confusing, misleading, or inaccurate information or ideas can join the chat

So, here are three things about nervous system regulation that I find important, and that I have been reminding my clients of

1. This is not a new issue! in fact it’s a fundamental health issue that has only gotten worse. People spend too much time stuck in an sympathetic state and it is wreaking havoc on their bodies and contributing to illnesses that have rising statistics each year

2. Our nervous system is NOT meant to stay in one state! Regulation can make it sounds like our body is always happy, calm, and at ease. True regulation is being able to move between states of activation and rest relatively smoothly

3. Regulation is not the result of adding any certain practice or modality. It is the result of your long term decisions, stress managements, and daily routines around health

At the end of the day, dysregulation is the result of a nervous system that has been conditioned to chaotic and stressful environments.

Reprogramming it means learning to notice when you are stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.

It means relearning what calm and ease feels like in your body , and finding strategies that return you to that state.

The more you intentionally notice, and work to restore balance, the more adaptive and resilient your nervous system will become

Spoiler alert: doing it all won’t automatically guarantee Christmas joy!

It’s been a while since I properly introduced myself, and honestly, bios never quite capture the true depth of a person. So here are a few random (and pretty unhelpful) tid-bits about me!

Thanks for being here, but please, introduce yourself! Share something random and fun with me ☺️

Most people don’t come in saying “I have digestive issues.”
They come in saying “I’m exhausted.”

And what they don’t realize is how deeply those two are connected.

In Chinese medicine, your energy and your digestion come from the same place….your Earth element, the Spleen and Stomach.

It’s the part of you that receives, transforms, and nourishes.

Not just through food, but through everything you take in: life, emotions, information, responsibilities.

When your Earth is out of balance, it can look like:
• You’re eating well but still tired
• You feel heavy or bloated after meals
• Your mind feels foggy or scattered
• You crave sugar or caffeine just to stay upright

This happens when your system can’t fully transform what it’s given.
Energy isn’t being made. Waste isn’t being cleared.
And your body starts to feel stuck.

Acupuncture helps reconnect that system by calming the nervous system, strengthening digestion, and clearing the heaviness that weighs you down.

As your Earth restores balance, your energy steadies.
Your mind clears.
Your body begins to feel light and alive again.

This kind of regulation fuels real change, not just in your energy levels, but in how deeply you can receive from life

Yesterday, with a heavy heart, I saw the news of the passing of Dr. Jane Goodall, a woman whose life and legacy shaped my values, inspired my dreams, and reaffirmed my belief in what one person can, and must contribute to the world.

Jane Goodall wasn’t just a pioneering scientist. She was gentleness in action. She embodied strength balanced with compassion. She gave voice to what it means to care deeply, about animals, people, and the planet.

Her work in Gombe redefined how humanity sees its place in nature. Her belief in the inherent value of every living being, her conviction that change is possible, and her commitment to leaving things better than she found them, those are the gifts she leaves behind.

I am grateful to have walked this planet in the same era as her. May her spirit live on in each of us who dare to love, to protect, and to act.

Rest in power, Dr. Goodall. Your life remains a guiding light.

Gratitude without desire makes you stuck. Desire without gratitude makes you miserable

I used to think I had to choose.

If I wanted to be a “good person,” I should just be grateful for what I had. Wanting more felt selfish.
But when I only focused on gratitude, I started to feel stuck. Like I was convincing myself to settle

Other times, I swung the other way.
Always chasing the next thing, the next goal, the next version of me

But without gratitude, I never felt satisfied. No matter what I achieved, it didn’t feel like enough

It took me a long time to realize that gratitude and desire aren’t opposites, they’re partners

Gratitude roots me in what’s already good.
Desire pulls me forward into what’s possible.
Together, they keep me both grounded and growing.

So now, my practice is simple:
Each day, I notice one thing I’m deeply grateful for.
And I name one thing I’m open to receiving or creating.

It’s such a small shift, but it keeps me at peace with my life now while still excited about what’s next.

I’ve noticed a little pattern lately that I want to lovingly bring awareness to…

Appointment holding.

It’s when a few appointments get booked “just in case” and then one or more are canceled right at the deadline.

I get it, I do. Life is full, and we want options.
But when those time slots are held (but not truly needed), it blocks someone else who’s been waiting for care.

So here’s the gentle ask:
Please only book the sessions you genuinely intend to keep.

It helps me run a smoother, more grounded practice
and keeps space open for everyone who needs it.

Thank you for being here, for being respectful of my time and energy. I am extremely grateful for how much you all value your appointments and the care you receive from me

My life is good… but it’s like there’s a glass wall between me and actually feeling the beauty of it.

This sentiment is one I hear often, and it lands so deeply when I hear it , because I’ve felt it too.
When your mind knows joy is all around you…
When you’ve done the inner work, asked the big questions, practiced presence…
But something in your body still feels guarded, bracing, waiting for the other shoe to drop.

It can feel disheartening after all your efforts.
But here's the good news.. You're feeling this gap but because your capacity to see beauty, joy, love...etc.. has expanded faster than your ability to let it in.

And this is what the energy of July is asking of us:
To close the gap between knowing and experiencing.

And that's why Breannah and I knew we had to share this retreat with you now, even in the height of summer because of the unique portal of opportunity before us.

This Sunday, the Inner Alchemy retreat designed to support this exact threshold.

We’re not offering more information—we’re offering integration.
A felt experience of safety, deep connection, and embodied joy.
If this stirred something in you…

feel into it. And if it’s aligned, I’d love to walk this portal with you.
