I will be hosting a family sound bath on sunday March 30th at Trillium Yoga This is a great way to disconnect as a family before school starts Monday. The Kids will be able to play instruments along with me and learn how to give you, the parent, a sound meditation while you relax and meditate or nap! Sound vibrations have been studied and used to help neurodivergencies and calm the nervous system. Registration will be posted on trilliumyogastudio.com shortly. Space is limit. I hope to share space with you! ✨🫶🏽

We have all felt the pain of losing someone to su***de. Especially within the past few years. Dealing with that numbing feeling of grief and disbelief can leave us all asking ourselves why? Why did they do it, why do so many people suffer with depression, anxiety, and sadness? Is there something I could have done to stop them? I am just one person. I feel in my heart that I can make a change. Even if it's just being there for my close friends who are dealing with loss. Or maybe just listening to someone who needs help, or needs a hand to hold. Today I signed up to become an advocate for the American Foundation of Su***de Prevention. From now on, I will be donating a portion of the money I make at my paint parties to this foundation. Because I shouldn't know of 5 people who have committed su***de in my little circle. I am just one person, and that's too many lives taken. I want you here! I want you to live to be old and grey, and experience all that life has to offer. Buttercup Art is a business I started because art has done so much for my own mental health. I want people to know there is a way to escape from the tough realities of life through creativity, hobbies, friendships. Please don't feel alone. I promise, you are not!!
If you or someone you know is having a hard time
Call or text 988. The su***de and Crisis lifeline.
