Wishing everyone a holiday season that truly honours, nourishes, and replenishes you — not just on the surface, but deeply, where your body, heart, and spirit need it most.

A gentle reminder that the holidays can look and feel very different for each individual. For some, they are filled with connection, laughter, and tradition. For others, they may feel quieter, heavier, or unfamiliar. If your holidays look a little different this year, please know that it’s okay. You don’t need to force joy, comparison, or expectations that don’t fit where you are.

What I lovingly remind and encourage is this: you get to choose the energy you cultivate. Even when circumstances are beyond your control, the way you tend to yourself matters. If you need to slow down, honour your nervous system. If you need to protect your energy, create gentle boundaries. If you are longing for peace, allow yourself to intentionally create moments of stillness.

Anchor into the small blessings — the quiet cup of tea, a deep breath, a soft moment of presence, a kind word, a flicker of light. These seemingly small moments are powerful. They regulate, restore, and remind us that we are supported even in seasons of uncertainty.

You are not behind. You are not doing the holidays “wrong.” You are allowed to honour what this season is asking of you. May you move through it with compassion for yourself, trust in your inner wisdom, and the permission to meet yourself exactly where you are.

Affirmation:
In this moment, I choose softness over pressure, presence over expectation, and peace over perfection.

Leading up to the holidays, you wouldn’t find me rushing through stores or getting caught up in the noise of consumption.
Instead, you would find me intentionally investing in my wellbeing.

I chose a Reiki session with Shannon from The Physio Space and Integrative Wellness Center, reflexology with Shelley at Massage Addict, and a chiropractic adjustment with Dr. Nathalie Beauchamp at Sante Chiropractic and Wellness Centre. These weren’t indulgences — they were conscious, intentional acts of care.

As I lay down on the table, settling in and preparing for my adjustment, my eyes met a simple yet powerful reminder placed on the ceiling above me:

“Remember, healing takes time.”

In that quiet moment, it landed deeply. A gentle invitation to soften, to breathe, and to trust the process. A reminder that healing isn’t rushed or forced — it unfolds in its own rhythm, in layers, with patience and presence. It called me back into my body and into compassion for where I am, rather than where I think I should be.

These choices were made knowing that when my nervous system is supported, when my body feels aligned, and when my energy is tended to, everything flows more smoothly. I am more grounded. More present. More patient. And that presence is one of the greatest gifts I can offer myself and my family during the holidays.

Healing takes conscious effort and intentional action. When I support my body, mind, and soul, they respond with clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of ease. My body thanks me in subtle but powerful ways — calmer mornings, softer reactions, clearer boundaries, and the ability to meet life with steadiness rather than depletion.

And perhaps the most meaningful ripple of all…
I’m witnessing my children begin to make their own conscious choices around wellbeing.

Not because they’re being told to.
Not because they’re being forced.
But because they see the value.

They are observing the benefits of slowing down, listening to their bodies, and taking ownership of their health and lives. It’s still a work in progress — and that’s okay — but the momentum is there. A strong foundation is being laid, rooted in self-responsibility, self-respect, and the understanding that caring for oneself is not optional… it’s essential.

This season reminded me that wellness isn’t something we squeeze in when life calms down.
It’s something we choose — especially when life feels full.

And those choices don’t just support us.

They ripple outward, shaping the generations watching us live them.

Tonight, I move gently.

The past two days have been absolutely phenomenal — from the Winter Solstice Sound Bath to today’s Soul Sister Winter Solstice: Returning to Light gathering. I am deeply grateful for the sacred spaces we co-created and the powerful energies that flowed through each woman present.

And I also honour the tender space I am navigating myself.
I feel the grief of what was, what could have been, and what never fully had the chance to unfold. At first, the intensity of the emotions surprised me — even overwhelmed me. And then the reminder came softly but clearly: this is exactly what today is about.

The Winter Solstice asks us to meet ourselves in the dark.
To sit with what no longer serves us.
To allow it to move through us with honesty and compassion.
And to intentionally create space for the light to return.

So I anchored.
I returned to the practices that support me — breath, presence, witnessing. Through the Anchor Method, I met myself where I was, offering support instead of resistance. And from that place, the heaviness softened, the emotions moved more freely, and the process became gentler.

I lit my candle.
Made myself a nourishing drink.
Pulled my oracle cards.
And sat right there with the energy — welcoming it, witnessing it, and releasing it with love, gratitude, and appreciation.

As I write this, I can feel the grief transmuting.
Shifting.
Creating space.
And for that, I am deeply grateful.

✨ Invitation ✨
If you’re feeling tender tonight… if emotions are rising or the darkness feels close — know you are not alone. Light a candle. Pause. Breathe. Meet yourself with kindness. And if you feel called to be held in community, to be witnessed, and to walk this journey alongside other women, you are always welcome here.

May we honour the dark, trust the process, and gently return to the light — together. 🤍✨

What a beautiful message from Universe - 46 Regeneration from the Wisdom of the Oracle ✨🫶

I feel deeply honoured to have gathered with six incredible women on this Winter Solstice at Align Holistic Studio .

There is something profoundly sacred about choosing to come together — to pause, to witness one another, and to create space for what is real.

What unfolded was more than conversation. It was remembrance. The familiar stories that wove through each of us carried wisdom, truth, and lived experience. Different paths, different seasons — yet the same threads of resilience, longing, courage, and becoming. The depth of support we held for one another felt ancient and deeply nourishing.

We showed up authentically. No masks. No performing. Just truth, presence, and hearts willing to be seen. Each woman allowed her inner light to shine, and in doing so, illuminated the space for everyone else. There is immense power in that kind of courage.

As I drove home — and now as I sit in my car writing this — I can still feel the energy of what was exchanged. Grounded. Warm. Expansive. These gatherings leave a mark on the soul. They remind us of who we are when we slow down, when we listen deeply, when we remember that we are not meant to carry life alone.

There is something undeniably powerful when women gather with intention.
Something shifts. Something heals. And something lasting is set into motion.

Heartfelt gratitude for such a beautiful exchange of energies!

As we arrive at the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year — you are invited to pause.

To slow your breath.
To soften your shoulders.
To acknowledge all that this season has asked of you.

This is an invitation to release with gratitude — not because it was easy, but because it offered lessons, strength, and insight. To gently let go of what no longer needs to be carried forward, and to honour the wisdom gained along the way.

You are invited to sit with the darkness, not as something to fear, but as a sacred space of rest, reflection, and deep becoming.

And when you’re ready, to make space for the returning of light.

Not rushed.
Not forced.
But welcomed slowly, with trust in the natural rhythm of life.

The Winter Solstice reminds us that even in the darkest moments, light is already on its way back. It returns quietly at first — a little more each day — offering renewal, clarity, and hope.

Let this be your permission to:
✨ Rest without guilt
✨ Reflect without judgment
✨ Release what no longer serves
✨ Open gently to what’s next

May you meet this turning point with presence, compassion, and an open heart — and may the returning light illuminate the path ahead, one soft step at a time.

Sacred Sunday Magic ✨
Calling in peace, alignment, and ease

A supportive start to my Sunday.

I love a slow morning — one where the rest of the household is still asleep and I can begin the day intentionally and without rush.

The stillness creates space for me to connect inward. My thoughts soften, my breath deepens, and I can access the quiet wisdom and gentle insights that guide me. As I write this, my heart is full — smiling with gratitude for the peace and joy moving through my heart space.

Sitting in my lounger, sipping warm bone broth, nourishing my body. Cozy beneath my Sherpa blanket, two of my feline fur babies curled up on my lap. A candle flickers nearby as I pull oracle cards, grounding into the sacredness of this moment.

This moment — right here — is what I am calling in more of as the light returns.

Slower, more intentional days.
Meaningful connections.
Heart-led community.
Uplifting and supportive energy.
Creativity.
Alignment.

I am committed to taking action — whether that action is physical or a shift in mindset. Action can look like saying no. It can look like resting. It can look like honoring myself and the life I am consciously co-creating with the Universe.

This is me showing up as the person I was always meant to be — choosing presence, devotion, and ease… one sacred Sunday at a time.

✨ Closing affirmation:
I allow myself to move at the pace of peace. I am supported, guided, and deeply held.

Your alignment with Spirit isn’t just for you, it radiates outward, lighting the path for others. When you lead from soul, you lead with love, integrity, and divine clarity.

Affirm it now: When I am aligned with Spirit, I am a powerful leader who inspires others. 💖

My heart is absolutely full. 💛
I am so deeply grateful to Lava Beads Creations and the beautiful soul Anik for inviting me to collaborate on the Winter Solstice Sound Bath.

It was truly an honour to co-create this sacred experience and hold space for such open-hearted, gentle, and powerful souls. Nights like this are a reminder of why community, intention, and shared presence matter so much.

Tomorrow, I have another beautiful gathering at Align Holistic Studio that my heart is very excited for — a candle-lighting ritual to welcome the returning light. Together we will gently release what no longer serves, soften into reflection, and intentionally make space for our inner light to burn brightly as we move forward.

So much heartfelt gratitude for collaboration, community, and the magic that unfolds when we gather with intention. ✨

Thank you for being part of this ripple

Woke up this morning with so much gratitude — and a gentle wave of excitement for the weekend ahead ✨

I feel incredibly blessed to be co-hosting tonight’s Winter Solstice Sound Bath with the lovely Anick from Lava Beads Creations. And tomorrow, I’ll be hosting Soul Sister Circle at Align Holistic Studios — a truly special gathering.

Due to illness, we’ve had a couple of last-minute cancellations for tonight’s sound bath, and there are also a few spaces available for tomorrow’s Soul Sister Circle.

✨ If you feel called:
• For tonight’s Winter Solstice Sound Bath, please contact Lava Beads Creations

• To join Soul Sister Circle tomorrow, book directly through Align Holistic Studio under events

Friendly reminder as we enter this powerful seasonal shift:
✨ Take those sacred pauses
✨ Create your own magic
✨ And anchor deeply into gratitude

The light is returning — and so are we

12/19/2025

Grateful that I follow my intuition.

You’ve heard me speak about sacred pauses many times. They aren’t just words I share — they are a daily practice I return to, often more than once a day.

During one of those pauses, I sat quietly and listened to what my body was asking for. The message was clear: a Reiki session. By divine timing and guidance, there was one available within the hour.

After that beautiful session, my body softened. The tension released. My mind grew quiet, my heart felt lighter, and my feet felt grounded once again.

I paused again and listened.

“Pick up coconut water for electrolytes. Bone broth to support your gut. Return to your bedtime routine — use your Saje Sleep Well roller. Start wearing your night guard again.”

When we’re exhausted, it’s so easy to let these supportive practices fall away. Reacting is easier in the moment. But when we choose to respond — with intention, care, and presence — we are met with support in the most beautiful ways.

Last night, I went to bed filled with gratitude, peace, and love. I laid my head down knowing that I showed up for myself. And sometimes, that is the most powerful medicine of all.

✨ Gentle invitation:
If you’re feeling tired, disconnected, or a little out of alignment, I invite you to pause — even for just a breath or two. Ask your body, “What do you need right now?” and allow the answer to come without judgment.

💫 Call to action:
Today, choose one small, loving action that supports your nervous system, your body, or your heart. Let it be simple. Let it be enough. And if this resonates, I’d love to hear — what is your body asking for today?

12/19/2025

There is still time to tend to your garden and gently w**d out what no longer aligns. In Happy for No Reason, our garden represents our relationships — with others, with life, and with ourselves. Whatever we water with our attention grows, and whatever we ignore or tolerate without awareness slowly drains our energy.

Every relationship is a living thing. Along the way, w**ds can take root — old patterns, people-pleasing, unspoken resentment, or connections that no longer feel reciprocal. Tending your garden isn’t about force or judgment; it’s about awareness, compassion, and choice. Weeding is not rejection — it’s self-respect. It creates space for healthier roots, clearer boundaries, and relationships that nourish who you are becoming.

And there is still time to create momentum as you move through the closing chapter of 2025 and into 2026. Momentum doesn’t come from pressure or perfection — it comes from intention. One aligned decision, one honest boundary, one small but meaningful action taken now shifts the energy forward.

This is a season of integration and completion. Of reflecting on what this year has taught you, releasing what you are no longer meant to carry, and choosing what supports your nervous system, your heart, and your future. When you tend your garden with care now, you don’t step into 2026 starting over — you arrive already in motion, grounded, and aligned.

There is still time.
Time to tend.
Time to choose alignment.
Time to build momentum that feels sustainable, nourishing, and true. 🌱
