“When you get quiet, what needs to be heard will get loud. And if you don’t get quiet, what is left unheard will rule your life unbeknownst to you.” -

When you’re working from a subconscious framework, like in somatic breathwork, you’re accessing what’s been unheard.

I didn’t realize how as a little girl, I tried to make myself small and was always so unsure of myself because I felt abandoned from my bio mom.

No matter how much confidence my mom (technically my step mom but my mom ♥️) instilled in me, there was still this unheard version of me running the show, afraid to be rejected or abandoned by anyone else.

And in order to find my voice and true my confidence within, I had to let her have her moment to express herself in the breath, through a subconscious lens.

And that version of me that was unheard, not necessarily by my my family but by myself, is always with me. But when I check in with her and ask her what she needs, it’s always what I need right now in this moment too. ✨

🕯️ Healing the Roots: Somatic Breathwork Circle 🕯️

One of my favorite songs to use in breathwork sessions lately is by Sierra Ferrell. In it, she says “Though you’ve hurt me, I still wish you well.” ✨

We’ve all, as humanity, been hurtful towards each other. We’ve been fed division by the spoonful and we eat it up without checking the ingredients, without checking the manufacturer.

We see reality splitting in two but I think there’s a third path and it’s through the heart. 💓

When I find myself wanting to argue or debate with someone from a place of anger, I know it’s time for me to come into my heart. I know it’s time for me to do the breathwork so I can see what pain is living in my heart that’s preventing me from seeing the humanity and love in that other person.

And there’s always something there, something within me that needed to be felt and expressed so I could fully feel my own love and humanity, therefore seeing theirs. ❣️

Because we are all mirrors for each other, right? We see in others what we reject within ourselves. 🪞

🕯️We need to return to love.
🕯️We need to return to compassion.
🕯️We need to return to each other.

I think it’s interestingly timely that my breathwork circle this Sunday is titled, Return to Love. It feels even more important now than it did two days ago. There are still a few spots left. Join us for this in-person breathwork healing circle Sunday 2-3:30pm in West Fargo - tickets on my website.

If you’re not local, I have a virtual Breathwork group coming up on September 20th - link in bio ✨✨✨

“The second I walked in here, I just felt like I wanted to cry and I didn’t know why”

A few people have told me this just this week, leaving from their session. And I take that as a sign that maybe I’m doing my job right…

And by that I mean I’m doing the inner work myself so you can feel the safety the second you walk in.

I can’t take you to the places in yourself that I haven’t been able to traverse within me first. I can’t hold your pain and doubt and loneliness if I haven’t been able to feel my own. ✨

I am offering virtual 1:1 breathwork sessions which you can book right on my website through the link in bio. 🙏🏻🌹

I can also offer in-person sessions by request if you’re in the Fargo/Lakes areas - DM me to book

Join my virtual Hearts on Fire Breathwork Healing Group next Saturday 9-10:30am CST. You don’t have to be present to receive the recording. Registration closes at 8am CST 9/20 💕

I don’t know what I expected this weekend but it wasn’t this…

I’m always really skeptical when it comes to attending retreats. You never know what kind of space the host is going to hold or if it’s going to be all for aesthetic.

But I witnessed so many hearts burst open this weekend, including my own. 💓

I got to facilitate AND breathe this weekend. My beautiful friend guided us the first day and I’ve never felt such a strong connection to a group while doing breathwork since my training - it was like we were all energetically holding hands, supporting each other, and the energy just felt like it was swirling up. It was so powerful and I don’t think there was a dry eye in that room 🥹

The possibilities with breathwork blow my mind every. single. time. 🔥

I’m so thankful every single one of you 🙏🏻This was my first time teaching at a retreat and it won’t be my last ♥️
