Dear Saraswati’s Universe,

Before I birth the next embodiment of this work into the world, I wanted to honour the name, the path, the devotion, and the woman I became through these last 8 years.

You were never only a business name. You became a living space of healing, remembrance, softness, truth, community, and becoming.

A space where women gathered to reconnect with themselves through Reiki, somatic healing, devotion, vulnerability, compassion, and embodied spirituality.

A space where I stopped searching outside of myself for wisdom, voice, devotion, and medicine… and slowly learned to recognise them within me.

Through you, I became the woman, the teacher, the mentor, and the voice I came into this lifetime to be.

Thank you for every client, every student, every initiation, every ceremony, every conversation, every breakthrough, and every woman who allowed me to walk beside her healing journey. Thank you for holding me while I remembered myself.

And now… it is time to rebirth this work into a new embodiment.

More grounded and aligned with the way I am here to serve my Reiki calling and this community.

And if you are a woman walking her own path of becoming…

A woman longing to reconnect with her body, her truth, her softness, her voice, and her inner wisdom…

I cannot wait for you to witness what is about to be born and walk together this path of remembrance, empowerment, embodiment and becoming.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU DRIFT AWAY FROM YOUR REIKI PRACTICE?

If your Reiki practice has felt far away lately, let this be your reminder that you are human. Your life has been life-ing! Here is a somatic ritual to support your return:

I invite you to move gently before coming into stillness and simply observe, first around the body and then in your mind eye, through these reflective prompts…

🤲🏽 Explore your inner landscape: Bring curiosity to your why.

✺ What has your inner landscape been feeling like?

🤲🏽 Bring awareness to what has arrived: Notice what emotions come up when you think about your spiritual practice.

✺ Maybe there is guilt, sadness, disappointment, pressure, tiredness or shame…

🤲🏽 Come into your body: Notice what happens in your body when you think about your practice.

✺ Do you notice heaviness in the chest, tightness in the throat, a knot in the belly, resistance or grief?

🤲🏽 Acknowledge the fruit of your practice: The fact that you miss your Reiki practice is already the fruit of your practice.

✺ What is the medicine of your experience?

🤲🏽 Offer yourself compassion, forgiveness and love. You do not need to push yourself back into practice.

✺ You can simply say: I am here now. I can begin from here again.

🤲🏽 Make commitment with yourself: Keep it simple and check what feel supportive right now.

✺ Three days for 5 minutes at the same time every day.

🤲🏽 End with self-appreciation: Place your hands together in Gassho or bring your hand to your heart.

✺ Offer a word of appreciation to the version of you that is willing to listen.

🪽And if you feel the call to reconnect more deeply with your Reiki path, I currently have 20% off my Reiki Mentoring journeys this month.

🪽And if what you are craving is community, accountability and a space to be gently supported back to yourself, you are so welcome inside the Self-Healer Club.

🙏🏽🌹💞

COMING INTO BEING

There are moments in life when something within us begins to shift.

Quietly at first…then more clearly.

A sense that we have outgrown a way of being. A knowing that something new is asking to come through.

Coming Into Being is a women’s half-day retreat created as a gentle threshold for these moments.

A space to slow down, listen inward, and honour what is growing within you.

Together we will move through somatic practices, ceremonial cacao, journaling, restorative yoga, sound healing and Reiki crystal healing held within an intentional circle of women also navigating their own expansion.

As spring deepens and the subtle energy of the approaching Beltane season begins to stir, this will be a powerful time to reconnect with your body, your vision, and your next chapter in a grounded and embodied way.

🗓 Sunday 26.04.26

If this speaks to you, trust the nudge and join us. Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the circle intimate. Click the link in bio.

We are and holding this space for women who are ready to honour their growth, embody their truth, and step forward into the next chapter of their lives with clarity and support.

𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆

Honouring is an invitation to meet menopause as the rite of passage it is with presence, dignity and shared wisdom.

We gather online across three New Moons, on Sunday mornings, in an intimate circle of 11 women.

✨ We begin on January 18th, the first New Moon of the year, a powerful moment to arrive, set intention, and honour the threshold you’re standing in.

This circle is for women walking through perimenopause, menopause & beyond, who feel the call to slow down, listen to the body, and be witnessed in change together.

A steady, co-held space.
A shared field of listening.
A place to arrive exactly as you are.

🌑 Dates:
•⁠ ⁠January 18th
•⁠ February 15th
•⁠ ⁠March 22nd

There is a sliding scale, offered to honour where you are at because Honouring includes how we meet life, resources, and ourselves.

✨ If you feel the pull, trust it.
Booking is now open via the link.

This circle is co-created, born from lived experience and a deep understanding of this threshold.

𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 🌹 A circle for women walking through the rite of passage of menopause.

Whether you are just beginning to sense the shift or already standing within it, this circle welcomes you with softness and reverence.

This circle was born from a cacao moment of two women, two bodies, two stories deep in the tide of perimenopause, looking at each other and saying,
“I wish I had this.”

A space where we could be real. Where we could talk about the changes, the emotions, the confusion, the liberation without needing to fix it. Where we could be witnessed as we are.

So here we are, creating our first Woman Circle “Honouring” for those seeking a space of gentleness, belonging and wish to honour this becoming in community.

𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐢 & 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞
♥︎
This morning, as I was making some cacao and tea,
Thank You for the Simple Things by was playing on the background.
♥︎
Somewhere between the warmth of the mug and the rising steam, tears surfaced up and I felt a gentle pulse of gratitude moving through my hands, my breath, my body.
♥︎
Reiki has taught me that gratitude is not just a feeling,
it’s a frequency, a living current, a way of being that keeps me connected when everything else feels uncertain.
♥︎
In the quiet moments of loneliness, insomnia, and frustration, I return to this vibration as a remembrance that I am alive and that I get to be me: free, curious, imperfect, whole.
♥︎
And I don’t want to take that for granted, even when sometimes I do. Because I know not everyone can.
♥︎
Across our planet Earth, there are women, men, children, animals, whole communities who are not free, who live each day in fear, in silence, in cages, visible and invisible.
♥︎
So my gratitude today is not quiet,
it’s active prayer, an offering that this freedom I feel becomes contagious and ripples out across the Earth.

That we keep finding ways, through art, voice, presence, and heart, to liberate one another. And today I am grateful for the ones walking the path of activism: the healers, the mothers, the artists,
the ones who show up for the Earth and for all beings.
I bow to you.

♥︎𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐈𝐍𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
~ Place one hand on your heart, one on your belly.
Whisper thank you.
~ Breathe into the space where that gratitude lives,
and feel how it wants to move through you,
into the world.

There is a kind of bliss I only feel when holding a Virtual Healing Journey for you.

🌿 Guiding you to sense your body’s pathways, letting your own wisdom rise.
🔮 Tuning into your energy field with the pendulum.
✨ Creating a crystal grid, each stone a prayer for your journey.
🃏 Playing with the oracle, listening to the guidance it brings.
🌌 Witnessing your gifts unfold, as the medicine ripples through every step.

This is where transformation flows and where your gifts unfold.

🌿 The Virtual Healing Journey is offered as a
𝟒-𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫, where we meet 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟒 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. Why four?

♥︎ To offer you sustained support as the medicine moves through your life.

✨ This is not a one-time session, it is a path of becoming with softness and gentleness.
