Anyone else get super frustrated when your plans get thwarted by a cold or flu??? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️

Sometimes, when we push ourselves beyond our capacity for too long, our bodies force us into time out. And in a culture that values productivity over rest, we often don’t recognize when we may be overextending ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally or energetically. And as a therapist, this is something I explain to my clients on the regular.
Full disclosure time: I’m just as vulnerable to overextending myself even though I know better, and yes, it catches up to me. My immune system made the choice for me after a busy month, putting the brakes on another busy weekend ahead. What’s my body telling me? Biologically it’s telling me that my immune system is low because my system is stressed and I haven’t been recharging my battery enough. On many other levels, it’s telling me I need to rest, to nourish myself and to let others look after me while I regenerate.
As someone who’s always on the go, it’s frustrating to get knocked down. But i’ve learned over the years that it’s the Universe trying to tell me to pay attention to something. So I surrender. Surrender to letting myself rest, to puppy cuddles, books and ginger lemon tea. And to honoring myself and what I need instead of pushing myself to meet any other expectations. Because I know I need to care about myself as much as I care for others.

So the next time you start coming down with a cold or flu, take it as a sign that you need some rest and deserve the time out ❤️✨

Step into the shadows with us this Samhain 🌙✨

At Feast & Feminine, we practice and witness the power of sisterhood, the nourishment of food and celebrating the feminine spirit through shared meals, sacred rituals, and the healing energy of community.

This Samhain, we will gather to explore the concept of Shadow Work, applying spiritually integrated psychotherapeutic techniques to support stepping into and reclaiming the parts of ourselves we have felt the need to keep hidden.

We will walk the stone wall to remember our people and the women who hold us in our power. This walking meditation connects us to our ancestors and the women of history.

On November 1, we gather at The Little Stone Chapel for shadow work, cord cutting, everyday magic, food, drinks, and laughter.

Together, we honour the sacred spark within ourselves and each other.

We will learn how to remain sovereign in these dark times. How to remain in love. Small bits of practical magic.

I’m honoured to be a part of this event and this community, and I’d love for you to join us for an evening or self discovery, communing and forging connections with like minded souls.

Jane Goodall changed the world.

For women, she broke barriers in science and proved compassion is a strength. For nature, she showed us animals are kin, not “other” and that we could understand so much about ourselves by getting to know them. For the world, she became a voice of hope, reminding us that small actions spark big change. For me, she showed me that women could be scientists and that our relationship to nature and its beings is a crucial part of harmony on our planet. She showed me it’s ok to be compassionate, curious and to love a life that is both meaningful and authentic no matter what others might say.

Her legacy? Live with empathy. Protect what you love. Believe you can make a difference.

Rest in Peace peaceful warrior ✨🐒💚

Back-to-school isn’t just a transition for kids — it’s a big shift for busy moms, too. Between drop-offs, schedules, and the never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to forget your own needs. There's plenty of moments when you don't feel like you're doing enough.
As mothers we often sacrifice our own self care to prioritize every one else's needs. This is your reminder that you don't have to always do it all, and that rest is an important part of your wellbeing too. Taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your kids.... so have some self compassion and know that you don't have to be perfect to be loved!

✨ Rewriting the story of negative core beliefs ✨

We all have them. Negative core beliefs often grow from early experiences of pain, trauma, or unmet needs, becoming the quiet stories we tell ourselves about who we are and what we deserve.

Maybe you’ve carried the weight of this belief for years: I’m not good enough. Too much. Not worthy. Not lovable. Not doing enough.

But here’s the alchemy: BELIEFS ARE NOT FACTS.

They’re old stories written in moments of pain, survival, or comparison. In session together we slow down, untangle those threads, and begin writing a new narrative...one rooted in compassion, wholeness, and possibility.

I'm curious: Which belief will you choose to rewrite today? Mine is that I am not enough. Today, and everyday, I now choose to tell myself that I am enough just as I am and not valued simply on what I do for everyone else. If you feel like you want to, I would love for you to share yours in the comments. You never know how it might support someone else who is reading.

If you need a boost, I am here to tell you time and again: You are already enough. Healing is remembering who you are and coming home to your true self.

You’ve been doing a lot to get through life... everyday you're hustling, performing, surviving. But have you paused to ask: am I truly living for myself? And if so, when was the last time you did something about it?

Healing isn’t about perfection. It’s about noticing the patterns that keep us stuck. That can often show up as shame, all-or-nothing thinking, and perfectionism. It's time to identify it, reflect on it, and learn to respond differently instead of just hopping back on the hamster wheel of life where you are always people pleasing, trying to meet unrealistic expectations and burning yourself out.

Therapy is a gentle, safe space to reconnect with your inner guidance, remember who you are, honor your story, and come home to yourself... a space to stop merely surviving and learn how to start thriving again.

If you feel called to explore this, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Eating disorders don’t just disappear with age.
Even as we grow older, wiser, and more self-aware, the shadows of disordered eating can linger; sometimes quietly, sometimes loud.
Candace Cameron Bure’s recent reflections are a powerful reminder that healing isn’t always linear, and that for many of us, the struggle doesn’t just end at a certain age or life stage.

As someone approaching 50 and who has navigated disordered eating from a young age, I can say that the mental toll can still be real…the thoughts, the pressure, the old patterns that resurface when life gets heavy or uncertain. It’s a journey of unlearning and re-learning how to be in our bodies with compassion, especially in a culture that often tells us we’re never enough. Especially as our bodies move through motherhood and into the menopausal years, shifting in ways that can trigger those thoughts and feelings all over again.

This is a quiet shoutout to anyone navigating these feelings later in life: you’re not alone. I get it. I live it. Your experience is valid. And healing is still possible, even in the ongoing process. Let’s talk.

To the mothers running on empty:

You are NOT lazy.
You are NOT dramatic.
You are NOT failing.

You are tired because you are carrying so much — seen and unseen. The mental and invisible loads and can feel overwhelming, leaving you struggling to keep up and feeling like you aren't good enough. Know that you are not alone.

You deserve a space to put it all down.
To talk. To feel. To not have to fix anything for once.

During these summer months, the exhaustion of motherhood is popping up with clients a lot right now. This is a theme I continually see with clients, and something that I can empathize with in so many ways.

Does this resonate? If so, let's talk. I offer gentle, trauma-informed therapy for mothers navigating burnout, anxiety, and identity loss.

🌿The Alchemist's Journal: Why I Became a Therapist 🌿

I didn’t set out to become a therapist in the traditional sense.

My path was shaped by lived experience...growing up in a family marked by generational wounding, navigating womanhood & burnout, life's events, a sense of compassion & justice, and the ache of feeling too much in a world that often asks us to feel less.

The Age of Alchemy was born from this journey. As someone who has always been rooted in learning, creativity and a connection to nature, it’s more than a practice... it’s time and space for transformation. A space where science meets soul, and healing happens through curiosity, connection, and coming home to yourself.

In my latest blog, I share a piece of that story. Not the polished version, but the real, messy, and meaningful path that led me here.

If you’re curious about the “why” behind the work I do, or if you’ve ever wondered if therapy could be different; more integrative, more intentional, more you... then this is for you.
