I’m in the messy re-entry of coming back to work and life after two full weeks of adventuring with my love. I have so many fun moments I wish to share here, musings to write, thoughts swirling around in my head, feelings bursting from my heart.

And

My body is tired from these first few days back to my full schedule. My heart aches for my family and long walks on the beach. I’ve had a terrible time sleeping since returning home, which is rarely the case when I travel.

I got new running shoes, even though I am not a runner and on my second outing hurt my knee by landing too hard without proper alignment. A reminder to slow down, take things at my pace, watch where I’m going, be mindful of form.

I meet the day with both heaviness and excitement. Joy and loathing. Grief and happiness.

I am grateful to be human, to experience the multitudes that exist in a single moment, for the adventures I am fortunate enough to go on, and for the full life I get to return to.

The process of allowing and acceptance is one I still meet with resistance, it is always a practice- a work in progress.

Isn’t this what it means to be human? To rise and fall with our breath and bodies throughout our days. To hurt and heal. To misstep. To yearn. To judge our reactions and wish we responded instead.

So I remind myself, and you that all is welcome here. You are capable of holding it all, experiencing it all, expanding past your perceived boundaries, reveling in the good and the hard. Being both proud of yourself and disappointed.

Here’s to Wednesday- the messy middle of the week. Here’s to a beautiful day of being human.

The stretch between 2018 and 2022 were the most difficult years of my life. I struggled intensely with being a medical mystery in my late 20’s, chronic pain, and finding myself so deeply living out of alignment with my authentic self.

One thing- really the only thing- that gave me hope during those years was wisdom from ; who says in her beautiful book “Heartminded”; “the hard you are going through right now is directly proportional to the good to come.”

I thought, “Man! If this is true, I have pure magic in my future”. It gave me hope that at some point, surely the tides would change. I clung to this mantra for years, imagining what that could mean, what my life could someday look like.

The last 3 years have been just that. Pure magic. I am healthy and pain free, a successful business owner going into my third year in private practice, and engaged to marry the man of my dreams. Everyday is better than I ever imagined it could be.

I have built a life I am proud of, one in which I can be my fullest self, in alignment with my heart and my gut. I am incredibly proud of myself- for never giving up, for my persistence and perseverance.

If you are walking through the fire right now- keep going, sweet one. The tides will change, even when it feels like the hurt and hard are never ending.

Keep going.

There are many gifts this season is bestowing upon you.

Be patient and kind with yourself.

It’s going to be worth it ♥️

At orientation for massage therapy school, written in the paperwork we were given in big, bold letters it said “being a massage therapist is the physical equivalent of being a professional athlete”. I thought it a rather bold statement and figured they were exaggerating. I was a yoga teacher, I had been working out and really active for five years at that point. I figured I wouldn’t have a hard time at all, I knew I could do it.

In my first two years as a massage therapist I was always in pain- the right side of my neck seized up and stayed so tight I couldn’t bring my ear to my shoulder, my lower back would hurt so bad at the end of the day I had a hard time getting up off the couch, my right hip and glute shot pain down my leg, my wrists would ache….Working through pain made me less excited to go to work. Working made me feel worse. I wasn’t able to go as hard in my workouts. At this point in time I was getting one massage a month, stretching 3 times a week, and I’d occasionally foam roll.

Exasperated with my lack of improvement, I decided to get serious about it. I started:

• receiving bodywork twice a month (every two weeks)

• foam rolling e v e r y d a y

• stretching e v e r y d a y

• working out harder and longer (currently on week 5/12 of hour long workouts 6x/ week).

I’ve been doing this since September/ October and over the course of winter I have u n l o c k e d my body!

I’m feeling stronger and more stable when I work. My body dynamics are better, I can tell. My range of motion has increased- in ways I didn’t even realize were limited beforehand. I’m excited to workout again.
I’m excited to go to work again.
My energy has increased.
I’m sleeping great.

Recovery has always been the area I’ve had the most difficult time staying consistent with. I’m grateful for the accountability to my self care practices being an LMT provides.

I’ve been preaching the benefits of foam rolling for years, but only the last few months have I been doing it e v e r y d a y.

Know that all of the things I suggest you do between massage appointments are where the most magic happens and how you’ll achieve the quickest results! It works if you work it.

On December 7th, 2024 Nicholas & I hiked back to “our tree” in the Redwoods exactly two years later, and he asked me to marry him.

Easiest YES I’ve ever said!!!

WE ARE ENGAGED! 💍✨♥️🌙💍

Nicholas has been planning this surprise trip since January. He asked my parents in August, and so many people knew this was going to happen before I did. We are ecstatic, our families are ecstatic, and I absolutely can’t wait to marry my best friend.

I’ve never dreamed about the details of a wedding, but I have dreamed about a man I adore getting down on one knee and asking me to marry him. Nicholas gave me the most intentional, romantic, and amazing proposal.

Better than my wildest hopee and dreams.

I am in awe.

I’m getting married!!!!!

Nicholas has been planning a surprise trip for me all year. I know we are driving, and staying in the country. Other than that, I have no idea what we are doing!

I love surprises and I love to travel- so this is the ultimate thing to get excited about for me! Nick told me the dates to take off work back in January, so it’s been a long wait!

We leave tomorrow!!!

I’m all packed and ready to go, I find out where we are headed when we hit the road in the morning ♥️

Ah! I can hardly stand it!!!

To my lover, my mentors, my friends. To my amazing clients and students that entrust with me such a sacred and intimate part of their healing journeys. To the home I currently have filled with art, candles, music, and love; with its vast and breathtaking open skies that bring me closer to sunrise and sunset than I’ve ever been. To my sweet boy, Miles with his sweet scented fur; deep, loud purrs, and loving hugs. To my beautiful gray blue Crosstrek that has carried me safely through this year. To the flowers that wish to sit on my windowsill. To the nourishing food that fills my belly. To enjoying the perfect dirty chai at home on a cold winter’s day. To the sound of the train clinking down the tracks. To the people who help show me what hurts in order to see what needs healed. To the love of my siblings. To Grandpa Dan’s jokes I’ve heard a thousand times that can be shockingly inappropriate. To the hours spent on roadtrips with my lover’s hand on my thigh. To the clean air that fills my lungs. To the wisdom that is gained through struggle and hardship. To all the times someone has asked me to drive safe, let them know when I make it home. To the forgetting, and then remembering, and then forgetting again. To I love you’s said not just in passing, but pupil to pupil. To the rest found in taking a deep breath. To the magic of music. To the birds that sing our world into harmony. To my mother’s library. To the growth and depth that comes from truly committing to someone or something. To jumping into the unknown. To having enough faith in yourself to go after what calls to your heart. To the mountains and forests that ease. To the dance with all that is.

To all the places I have been.
To all the places I am.
To all the places I will go.

To the beautiful, messy, magical, ordinary life I get to live.

I overflow with gratitude.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Before I knew that Nicholas was the one for me, I knew he was my musical soulmate. I had never in my life met another human who listened to the same music I did, and knew so many of the more obscure artists I loved.

We’ve gone to more concerts together than I’ve been to in my life. We’ve met multiple of our favorite artists, getting the chance to say hello and thanking them for what they put out into the world. We have gone on long roadtrips just to see a show.

came to Boise this month, and it was so nice to have him come to us! We went to see him in Bend, OR last December, and it was a treat to get to see him again in our hometown.

I will always cherish our concert adventures together ♥️
