🌟 Do you know you’re intuitive but can’t consistently access it? Do you JUST KNOW things but don’t know how you know?
But when someone asks how… you can’t quite explain it?

✨ That’s your intuition. And it’s REAL.
But without structure, it flickers like a candle in the wind.

What if you could anchor it? Deepen it. Trust it.
What if you could finally understand how your intuition speaks to you—and unlock the Akashic Records to amplify it?

💫 I’m opening the doors again to one of my favorite offerings—an immersive journey into your intuitive gifts, with the Akashic Records as our guide.

✔️ You’ll learn how to access and trust your intuitive knowing.
✔️ You’ll discover how the Records speak to you specifically.
✔️ You’ll get hands-on guidance and sacred structure that makes your gifts practical and consistent.

🌀 Whether you’re brand new to the Records or already opening portals in your dreams—this is designed for you.

🌍 If you’re local, we’ll meet in person for two special sessions.
🌐 Not local? Join the full experience live via Zoom.

📅 Enrollment is open right now.
This is your sign. Your invitation. Your YES.

Drop a 💫 or DM me for the link.
Let’s unlock your inner knowing—for real this time.

🖐 How do healers know what they’re really impacting with their hands?
Is it intuition? Skill? Science?
Actually—it’s all three.

✨ A study from the Royal Institute of Technology found that human touch can detect textures as small as 13 nanometers—that’s smaller than a virus. 🤯

This means the trained hands of an osteopathic manual therapist aren’t just feeling bones and muscles…
They’re perceiving micro-shifts in tissue tone, fluid dynamics, and nervous system signals—far below the level of conscious awareness.

💡 Precision touch isn’t guesswork—it’s a high-resolution language of the body.

🔍 When hands are trained to feel small, they can create profound change.
That's the quiet power of manual medicine. 🤯❤️

Y’all, I know I’m pretty quiet on here. It’s pretty much because I have a happy 4 1/2 year old and I have no time to spare! But holy biscuits, I have been studying cranial osteopathy since 2018 and I have finally made it to the end of the first tract of courses. And I am absolutely blown away. 🧠 The DURA around the brain protects it and suspends it in fluid to keep all of those nerve impulses firing. The brain is the boss. It cares about it’s own self. If it has to tweak your hips and your back and your knees and your feet to keep your brain aligned properly and suspended in fluid, it will do whatever it takes down the chain of the body to make sure that the brain is functioning. 🧠 💪🏼 Doesn’t that just makes sense? I’m finding the coolest things with my hands: tensions on the left side of the brain, creating sciatic nerve tension, all the way down to the toes and straight leg raise tests for slipper disc changing by 60° in one session by working only on the head, never even touching the lumbar spine or the leg or the hamstring or any of the common places PT school taught me to treat. 🌈 My own mind is blown. 🤯Traditional PT paradigms shifted. ✋🏻 Trusting my hands. 👩🏼‍🎓 Excited to share this M.A.G.I.C. with your bodies 💕

Well, I got to spend the last two days at a cadaver lab! Watching the removal of the G.I. tract to support my ongoing understanding, knowledge, and visualization skills of the internal abdominal organs – but I have found to be such a profound driver in musculoskeletal pain. I am forever and awe of the body! And, boy, is it stinky.😬🙊

“Rattlesnakes have such highly sensitive thermoreceptors that even when blind, they can guide themselves to a warm object. The sensitivity of the human hand to pressure, motion, and heat is extremely high!” Developing a high-level of manual sensitivity has been a top priority for me for the last 15 years. My hands read the story your body is holding… and bring your patterns to 🌀completion🌀 through gentle precise interventions.

The field of consciousness around each of us contains deep wisdom and knowing. We are surrounded by the answers, the guidance, the truths we need. It is not an accident that you are here. Intuition is your birthright and it's time to learn to access it reliably and profoundly each day.

Every day in my office, I pull out either my anatomy book or my anatomy app, and I try to learn something new. The human body is super duper intricate and… what can I say, I’m in awe! Today I saw that the Dura projects outward from the thoracic spine. So, I can feel from the base of someone’s skull. Where are the flow of fluid surrounding the nervous system is being jammed or rerouted or caught, and I often put my hand on one of these spots to restore that flow and improve the entire spine’s connectivity. Now, I have a visual representation of why that works so well! I’m literally touching the thickening of the protective covering of the spine when my hand is just to the outside edge of one of the thoracic vertebrae. Wow.
