Year 8.5, day 1…feeling incredibly grateful for the community I get to teach, support and learn with….social media, it’s been a minute. Slowly coming back to the world after deep is humbling, and I am grateful for grace and patience and the time and space to heal and grow. I also appreciate transparency around balance and bringing less doing into our human being. More to come, but for now: to all who celebrate!

Content warning: pet loss

Sam is at Peace.

This is what our vet said after his heart stopped this morning. We adopted Sam 18 months ago. After 10 months, we noticed some stiffness in his rear legs. Our vet came and shared that was Degenerative Myleopathy, which is a neurological disease in dogs that slowly causes loss of limbs and then death. We held each other and watched and waited until Sam showed us it was time..and we had one last summer with our sweet, loving, beautiful boy. Sam is at peace. We are not.

Thank you Sam. You never ate a single toy; You never had a single accident; you never growled at our children, yet absolutely watched over and protected your family. I will miss your cuddles, your chirps, your attempts to talk. Thank you for finding your way to us. It was your time, even if it wasn’t enough time. Thanks for teaching me that.

Sam is at peace. I am not. Thank you to all who read through this for your patience with me. This was a lot to carry and now I will do my best to allow release.

Grades submitted (as of Wednesday-ooopt!) I am so late to this party, but then again, maybe it’s never too late to appreciate?! It has been a wild year on every level, but I am truly grateful to have shared time and space on this artistic journey with these incredible artists…the trust they shared with me and with each other in their artistry was magic..✨🥹

Thank you all for an incredible year-and please keep in touch🥲💗✨

I am still processing the experience from this workshop: every time I share it, the experience is authentic, individual, and moving. And while the starting point is the same, the journey had been different every time, Informed by the people who make up the room. I am so grateful to be doing now what I feel I am meant to do. A deep thank you to my friend who witnessed me in my work and who held space to process after, and to my anchor and sneaky photographer who snapped some of the sneakiest mood-lighting shots to document the moment. From slides to session, and back again.

Peek-a-boo…!

I’m just coming up for air long enough to tell you that it’s ok to be where you are, even if it’s not where you’re think supposed to be. Real, lasting change is slow and deep. Change is movement.

And there is no such thing as stillness as long as your heart is pumping blood simultaneously into and out of your system, as long as your diaphragm drawing oxygen in and pushing carbon dioxide out…movement is happening which means change is happening, even in the ‘nothing.’

You are so much more than you think. You are accomplishing so many little ‘somethings’ in the ‘nothing.’

This is what I say to myself when the videos didn’t get shot, the newsletter didn’t get mailed, the website didn’t get updated, the presentation didn’t get completed. And so I share this with you to remind your self: big things are coming, for you and for me. I can’t wait to share it with you all.

It occurred to me today that I have been teaching Meisner for 15 years…I am grateful to those very first students who helped shape my teaching and keep me accountable through a trauma-informed lens, even before I had the language to name it. And I have the same appreciation and gratitude for all of my past and present students who encouraged the evolution of this work.

Tbh, after negotiating my own healing from actor training, I don’t teach folks to *do* the Meisner Technique, I teach *through* the Meisner Technique…and I will forever be grateful for the Alexander Technique which provided a kind and productive support through which to learn and grow. And so today, we begin the Open Scene Project..and in honor of the incredible and moving work of my students today, I’m posting these magical words-but don’t be fooled: the words themselves are nothing-but the students who brought them to life are the magic.

Find your Feet.
Find your Partner.

I am grateful to have spent working in the studio of my business, so I’m posting a little late-or maybe just in time? 💗 This is a question I am asked often in my work, and the answer always changes…so here’s today’s . A huge shoutout and appreciation to for the hige and for this to finally see daylight -and let’s keep our eyes peeled to support as it emerges into being…

For now, please share what you think-and ask me questions! My hoal@os to make this work both accessible and understandable, so drop your questions, thoughts, asks, desires, requests below, and let’s get started together.

Yesterday and in reminded me all over again the magic of our design when we can tap into the within: literally, our bones, our structure, our design…. Science is magic. : literally.

Happy Friday, friends.
