It’s within you. Your power, your resilience, your strength.

I am so grateful for the amazing women making my world a better and brighter, both near and far. For those who have gone before me, for those who are still walking with me and for those who are just starting their journey with me.

I love you and I see you. I celebrate your successes, I ache for your losses, I see your strengths and your determination and value your support and love.

It is within you.

A woman is the full circle - within her is the power to create, nurture and transform. Trust that still, small voice that says “This might work and I’ll try it”.

February out! March is here!

March is my new year, the turning of the season rather than the calendar year. I feel it in my soul, in my bones and in my mind. Bring on spring!

Take a moment today and welcome this month with the joys of springtime on the horizon. 🌸

“Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit!”
☘️A blessed first of March to You!🌼

Saying “Rabbit rabbit rabbit" aloud upon waking on the first day of a new month is an old charm to ensure good fortune throughout the month.
✨🐇🐇🐇✨

“Additionally, the Rabbit and Hare have also long been associated with the Goddess and were the totem of several: the hare to Artemis and Hecate, the sacred rabbit to Aphrodite, to Holda who was accompanied by several torch-bearing hares, to Cerridwen and Freyja who both had hare attendants, and, of course, to Eostre who was said to have taken the shape of a hare at each full moon and whose Anglo-Saxon counterpart, Ostara, was often depicted with a white hare by her side.

There are many more goddesses associated with or attended to by both rabbits and hares and, in such, these gentle creatures can assist us in becoming more attuned to the lunar cycle. All rabbits in general are associated with the Moon, magick, luck, love, creativity, success, sensitivity, agility, spontaneity, abundance, rebirth and, of course, fertility.”

Note: Throughout Mesoamerica, the rabbit also attends the goddesses Coyolxauhqui and Ixchel, and in Chinese mythology, the Moon goddess Chang’e has a rabbit companion who mixes an elixir of life in a mortar and pestle.

Join us for an evening of connection, healing and support.

Whether you’re seeking friendship, healing, or personal growth - our circle is a place where all voices are heard and hearts are nourished. Tap into the collective wisdom and embrace the magic of sisterhood.

What is a healing circle?

A healing circle is a gathering of people to unite in community. It allows us to come together in a safe and accepting environment where we are all provided an opportunity to explore our own healing. There is no better symbol of wholeness than a circle and this circle invites you to discover a deeper way of being together and bear witness to someone else’s journey as we find the power within ourselves to heal without judgement. In listening, we find the joy, struggles, fear and successes of another, and in doing so, we see ourselves.

Pre-registration is required due to limited space. Connect with me by DM or email thenurturingswede@gmail.com for registration and information.

Pay-what-you-can (Suggested fee $10-20)

All circles begin at 6:30 PM.

Friends ❤️ It’s been some time.

I took an extended break back in the fall of 2022 hoping that I would embark on a new career journey that would take me to a place where I was able to expand my knowledge of healing and for a while, this was a wonderful place to be. Yet, at the beginning of the new calendar year I knew that it was time for me to take some serious action before I had succumbed to another role in which I didn’t feel like my true self.

It’s time for me to get back to what my soul needs and my true calling and what brings me the most joy - helping and supporting others on their journeys.

I am booking energy sessions, working on some exciting workshops and get-togethers that I know will bring forth the feelings of connectivity and courageously living life in many different ways. 

Let’s Connect!

Yours in healing

Back to School Day 🚌

A day with so many mixed emotions - joy, fear, anxiety, stress, sadness, excitement, nervousness. In our house we had them all. Ups and downs all weekend long. Lots of talks about what could be and what we could control versus what we can’t.

We spent time together outside, we spent time with family and friends that make us feel good and bring comfort to our lives.

To all the parents who put on a smile for their children as they set off to school - I see you and embrace you. There will be joy and wonder and tears and meltdowns tonight. Let them all happen. 💕

To the children who bravely took another step forward into the unknown and didn’t even look back - I see you and know you’ll do great things. Growth comes with courage to do new things. 💕

New horizons. Change. It’s all meant to be.

Slow down. Reset. Embrace the road you’re on. Even if you don’t really know where it will lead you.

Happy Long Weekend! 🥰

September brings new beginnings 🍂

While summer allows us to relax, energize from the sun, and feel free - September brings abundance, harvesting and a sense of rest while also providing opportunities to let go and start new.

I’m returning to my practice after a glorious summer and welcome all of you to begin this autumn with less stress, more joy and a peaceful mind.

Shut down the drama in your life. It is unhealthy. Arguing and fighting creates dis-ease. Stay away from negative, selfish, energy-draining relationships that do not honor you, or even worse -use you, abuse you, and take advantage of your kindness. Do not buy into their negativity or guilt trips. Resolve to live in peace. Do not attempt to change others. There is enough work to do on yourself. Develop relationships where all parties can grow, and create an atmosphere of mutual respect, love, and appreciation. Free yourself from inner chaos by meditation, relaxation, and stillness. What you create inside of yourself will manifest outside yourself. Create a sanctuary where you can live in peace, relax your mind, revive your spirit, and renew your purpose. You have GREATNESS within you!!
