Creatrix | S*x, Love & Relationship Coach | Priestess | Embodiment & Breath Facilitator

I started practicing yoga in 1996, the original motivation — to touch my toes! I had no idea the journey I was beginning to undertake would be so profound and transformational. Almost 20 years later, I can touch my toes, and along the way I discovered that my talent and my passion has become helping others nourish their unique journey toward self discovery. While most of my retreats and offerings are open to all, I am particularly passionate about helping women explore the divine feminine and embrace their indwelling power, the Shakti nature within. This work entails going deep, uncovering blocks, becoming embodied, balanced and strong on all levels, ultimately, becoming comfortable with feminine creativity, sexuality and personal power. As I continue the personal practice of embracing Shakti, I experience my evolution forward into myself. An increasingly empowering and liberating experience, I can’t help but feel compelled to help others (primarily women) experience this for themselves. I am the founding owner of Chinook Yoga in Prince George, BC and a Director within the Primary Faculty of the SOYA Yoga Teacher Training Program. I have more than 18 years of yoga teaching experience and have taught many practitioners to become yoga teachers themselves. I am also a Doctor of Homeopathy and I love to creatively integrate the principles of Yoga and Homeopathy to help unlock a student’s deepest potential within.

This was such a rich conversation with Victoria on The Autism Mums Podcast.

We spoke about something that many parents feel but rarely have space to talk about: what happens to our relationships when we’re carrying the emotional weight of raising a child with additional health or developmental needs.

The truth is, no one teaches us how to stay connected when life feels overwhelming. And for couples navigating chronic stress, it’s easy to slip into survival mode, where disconnection, irritability, and that quiet “roommate” feeling start to take hold.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

In this episode, I share how emotional safety and nervous system regulation create the foundation for renewed intimacy. It’s not about grand gestures or fixing everything at once. Sometimes the most powerful shifts come from the smallest practices: sitting side by side, breathing together, holding hands, choosing tenderness in the moment.

We also talk about boundaries, co-regulation, communication, and the importance of making space for each other, even when life is full, because when you prioritize your relationship, the whole household feels the ripple effect.

This one is close to my heart. You can listen now to Episode 45 of The Autism Mums Podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/rebuilding-relationships-while-supporting-neurodivergent/id1810071731?i=1000740395835

As we head into the holidays with travel, family dynamics, rich food, late nights, and everything in between, I want to support you in actually feeling good in your body, not just pushing through.

I genuinely believe this season is meant to be enjoyed. Food, connection, indulgence, rest, all of it.

So I’m not giving you a list of rules. Think of this more as a gentle rhythm; simple things you can return to that support your body while you enjoy the season, not instead of it.

That might look like a lighter eating window during the day if you have a big meal ahead. Or remembering to hydrate (especially with minerals and electrolytes; so helpful this time of year). It could mean choosing the holiday foods you really love and skipping the “meh” ones, with zero guilt.

A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in water before a big meal? That can help smooth out blood sugar spikes. A little walk after dinner or a snowball fight helps digestion and energy more than you think. And if you’re having drinks, keeping it earlier in the evening can make a big difference to your sleep and nervous system.

The next day? Think protein-forward meals and an earlier bedtime. Your body will thank you.

And maybe the most important question of all:
If this Christmas felt peaceful in your body, what would that look like?
You don’t have to do everything. One or two small choices can create a big ripple.

I’m wishing you joy, nourishment, and moments of deep presence this season.

I’m so grateful you’re here.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on The You World Order Showcase with Jill Hart, where we talked about one of my favourite truths:

Midlife isn’t a decline. It’s an initiation.

This conversation was such a beautiful space to share how we can move through this time with more reverence, ease, and power.

We explored how science-backed tools like circadian rhythm, blood sugar balance, and sleep hygiene blend with feminine wisdom, nervous system regulation, and sensual embodiment.

We talked about stress and how it rewires your body.
We talked about pleasure as a form of medicine.
We talked about how tiny rituals can shift your entire hormonal cascade.
And most of all, we talked about what becomes possible when you stop pushing and start listening.

Your second spring isn’t something to fear.
It’s something to honour.

I arrived home this weekend after a month away.

Even though it was a long trip (and a red-eye... ugh), I’ve noticed my body is managing the fatigue with a softness I haven’t felt in a long time. Somewhere in the spaciousness of being away, I finally had enough room to let go of some of the stress I’ve been carrying for years.

That’s really the heart of what I want to share with you this week.

Your Midlife Metabolism Isn’t Broken: How Stress Changes Everything
Free online class – Wednesday, December 17th at 5:00 PM PST
(Yes, there will be a replay.)

We’re told to work harder, try more supplements, stick to stricter routines, but no one teaches us how chronic stress and unresolved trauma can alter the way a woman’s body functions in midlife. And the result? So many of us feel like we’re moving through molasses, wondering what happened to the energy and clarity we used to have.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve heard from so many women who are shocked to learn that what they thought were personal failures: fatigue, inflammation, irritability, cravings, are actually biological responses to stress.

This is why trying harder doesn’t work.
This is why the tools that once helped you fall flat.
And this is why midlife can feel like one long uphill climb.

In this class, I’ll walk you through what’s really going on beneath the surface and how to begin supporting your nervous system in a way that’s nourishing, doable, and grounded in compassion. If you can join me live, I’d love to see you there. And if you can’t, you’ll still get the replay.

You deserve to feel like yourself again. Not someday. Now.

I had a beautiful, expansive conversation with Danie C. Muniz on The Cosmic Mystic Podcast this week, and I’m so grateful to share it with you.

We explored the journey of healing and reclamation in midlife, how trauma shaped my early years and led me to the work I do now, why the nervous system plays such a vital role in healing, and how pleasure can be a powerful form of medicine. We also talked about rebuilding safety and trust from within, and how reconnecting with the body can bring us back to joy.

I shared parts of my personal story, including my spiritual roots and the unfolding of my own awakening. There was an honesty and spaciousness in this conversation that I hope lands gently for anyone who’s been moving through big shifts of their own.

If you’ve been longing for deeper connection, more aliveness, or the reminder that it’s not too late to feel like yourself again, I hope you’ll listen.

December 9

FB/IG:
Your metabolism isn’t broken.
It’s responding to your life.

For so many women in midlife, there comes a moment when you just don’t feel like yourself anymore.

The things that used to work: food choices, movement, sleep, and even mindset shifts, stop working. And no one seems to have a real answer.

The truth is: your stress chemistry is the missing piece.

When you’re constantly “on,” your body reorganizes around survival.
That means hormone shifts, blood sugar crashes, cravings, disrupted sleep, and that foggy, frazzled, always-on-edge feeling.

But here’s the good news: when you understand how stress is impacting your physiology, you can start working with your body, not against it.

On Tuesday, December 17, at 5 PM PST, I’m offering a free webinar
"How Stress Changes the Midlife Metabolism."

We'll cover:
What stress does to your hormonal and metabolic health.
Why nervous system regulation is the real key to long-term change.
And what you can do today to feel more like yourself again.

This class will be a mix of grounded science, practical takeaways, and a nervous system reset you can return to again and again.

Let this be the season you stop pushing through and start listening in.

Yesterday, we spent the afternoon at Los Ahuehuetes, a beautiful mineral spring tucked away from the nearby busy towns.

The moment I slipped into the crystal clear turquoise water, something inside me lifted. I just felt… happy. Even though the water was cold, my body stayed relaxed. There was this unmistakable sense of being held.

The giant trees leaning over the spring, the sun warming my shoulders, birds calling from every direction, little fish brushing past my feet; it all felt like a quiet reminder that nature regulates us in ways we often forget.

Your body responds to safety far more quickly than you think.

We tend to believe healing takes months, years, or some massive intervention. But sometimes it starts with one moment where your nervous system gets permission to exhale.

And these shifts aren’t “in your head.” They’re biological.

When you feel safe, cortisol comes down, breath deepens, digestion wakes up, blood sugar steadies, and your whole metabolic system gets the signal that it can move out of survival mode.

This is the piece so many women in midlife don’t realize:
Your metabolism is deeply intertwined with your stress chemistry.

When life keeps your nervous system running hot, your body compensates. And eventually, you stop feeling like yourself.
Being at the springs was such a powerful reminder of what it feels like when your system gets to reset.

Next week, I’ll be sharing something I’m really excited about: a free online class on Wednesday, December 17th, where I’ll be teaching more about how stress changes the midlife metabolism and what you can do about it.

I’ll share the signup link Monday, but if you’d like me to make sure you get it, just drop a comment below, and I’ll be sure to send it your way!

After nearly three years of waiting, I finally completed the PSYCH-K® Health & Wellbeing Program in Mexico, a training I’ve long felt called to.

Leading up to it, my mind was busy with questions:
Would the language barrier be a challenge?
Had I complicated things by choosing to do it abroad?

Even before I could fully articulate these thoughts, my body responded:
Tension in my shoulders.
Interrupted sleep.
Sluggish digestion.

These are the subtle physiological cues that signal stress long before the mind catches up; something I see often in the women I work with.
But within minutes of arriving, something shifted.

The welcome was warm, the shared intention clear: everyone there was committed to stepping into a healthier, more aligned version of themselves.

It was a powerful reminder:
The body knows when it is safe.
And it knows when it is not.

Stress is not just a feeling; it is a physiological event, particularly in midlife. Hormones shift. Blood sugar becomes less stable. Sleep becomes lighter. Cravings intensify. The nervous system remains activated long after the perceived stress has passed.

What we explored over the course of the training was this: when we change the subconscious beliefs that shape our internal experience, the body responds.

If you’ve read The Biology of Belief, you know how powerful this connection can be. Our stress response is deeply influenced by the patterns we live from, and in midlife, this becomes more apparent than ever.

I’ll be teaching a free online class on this exact topic on Tuesday, December 17, at 5 pm PST: How Stress Shapes the Midlife Metabolism and What Actually Helps.

If you’d like to receive the registration link when it’s available, simply comment below, and I’ll make sure it reaches you.

This class is designed to support you in feeling steadier, clearer, and more connected to your body as we move into a new year!

This week, I’ve been sitting with a question I hear from so many women: “I’m doing all the right things, so why don’t I feel better?”

The truth is, our bodies were never built to keep pace with the demands of modern life. Even when we’re nourishing ourselves, moving, “being mindful,” we’re often still rushing. Still staying “on.” Still overriding our body’s signals because speed has become our default.

After holding space for others in retreat, I always build in a couple of days to come back to myself. Not to overanalyze, but to allow things to settle. To let integration happen in stillness. And it reminds me every time:
Healing doesn’t happen in speed. It happens in space.

In our culture of urgency, that kind of space can feel radical. But without it, we stay locked in Rushing Woman Syndrome; constantly running on adrenaline, even when it’s quietly wrecking our hormones, nervous systems, and emotional capacity.

Here’s what I’ve been noticing in my own body this week:
• When I slow down, insight arrives.
• One day of rest recalibrates my system faster than I expect.
• True rest isn’t collapse, it’s presence.

If you’re craving something different, start small:
• Create five minutes of intentional space today.
• No scrolling. No multitasking. Just breath, body, and noticing.

And if you want support finding clarity in what your body is asking for, I offer free Clarity & Support Sessions each month. It’s not a sales call, it’s a soft place to land. You can book a call through the link in my bio.

These past couple of days have been slow ones for me. After guiding a full week of retreat work, I always build in time to decompress. Not for deep processing, but for the kind of spaciousness where things settle on their own.

On Saturday, a few of us shared a taxi back to Puerto Escondido. One woman I’ve known for years had a late flight, so we ended up spending the late afternoon together. Nothing scheduled. No rushing. No agenda. Just connection for the sake of connection.

We talked about parenting teenagers, how life shifts as our kids grow, the places where we still feel unsure, and the tiny victories that keep us going. Later, we walked along the beach as the sun dropped, letting the day unfold at its own rhythm.

It struck me how good it felt to have unhurried time with another human being. The kind of presence that doesn’t need to be earned, optimized or squeezed between tasks. It simply arrives because there is space for it.

So here’s a gentle invitation today:
Is there someone you appreciate but haven’t told in a while?
A friend, a sister, a colleague, someone who has quietly held space for you?

Send them a message.
Nothing elaborate.
Just: “I appreciate you. I’m so glad you’re in my life.”

These tiny openings matter more than we think. They deepen the bonds of affection and care that every one of us needs, especially in the midst of busy or tender seasons.

And since we’re speaking about appreciation, I want you to know how much I value being able to land in your feed. The trust you extend by allowing me into your world is something I hold close.

One of the ways I offer appreciation in return is through my free Clarity & Support Sessions. These calls are simply a space to connect, talk about what feels heavy or confusing, and receive grounded support without pressure. Yes, coaching is my work, but these sessions are first and foremost about you feeling heard, steadier, and more connected to what your body and heart are asking for next.

If that’s something you’re craving, you can book a call through the link in my bio.

I had the pleasure of joining Raquel Howard and Jennifer Bolanos on their podcast Madness Cafe, where they bring a feminist lens to current events, women’s health, and the issues that shape our lives.

For my episode, we explored a theme that feels incredibly close to my heart: vibrancy in midlife.

So much of the cultural narrative suggests that midlife is something women simply have to slog through; a season of decline, overwhelm, or shrinking energy. And for many women, it can feel that way.

But it does not have to be the story we accept.

In this conversation, we talk about why midlife can become a time of renewed joy, creativity, clarity, and self-trust. We explore how embracing both metabolic health and feminine energy can shift us into a phase of aliveness, and how reinvention in midlife isn’t only possible, it’s deeply natural.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by the expectations or pressures of this stage of life, this episode offers a new perspective: one where midlife becomes an opening rather than a closing.
