Viparita Karani (विपरीतकरणी)
“Legs Up the Wall”

Translated as “inverted action” or “clear lake,” this deeply restorative pose invites relaxation, eases stress, supports circulation, and gently soothes the nervous system by reversing the body’s usual patterns.

One of my favorite poses.
My back body supported by the earth,
heart facing the sky.

This is how I ease into each day—
with intention.
This is how I am entering 2026.

Many have asked… What’s your plan this year? Any goals?

The short answer is no.

Instead, I’m carving out time for joy, calm, and grounding—every single day.
I am in no rush.
Listening closer.
Talking less.
Gazing more.

Collecting my thoughts with pause.
Moving as I’m guided—where and when it feels right.

I’m not chasing.
I’m not forcing.
I’m accepting opportunities and invitations when they feel good.

Riding the natural ebbs and flows of life.
I don’t know what this year holds—
but I’m meeting it with more clarity and more calm.

This year.
This is me. ✨

If this is your vibe. You know where to find me.

I won’t be doing a recap of 2025.
It was a year of deep contrasts—extreme highs and profound lows.

What I know in my bones is this: it was a very hard year for so many.
Those I love dearly have suffered.
Those I know less well have suffered.
Those I don’t know at all have suffered.

No one moved through this year untouched.

If 2025 was gentle with you, please celebrate that. Hold that goodness close, carry it forward, and share it freely. The world needs it.

I’m sending love to each of you—wherever you are, however you’re arriving here. May 2026 meet you with moments of peace, steadiness, health, and abundance, in whatever form you need most.

I’ve always believed this: let what matters most lead the way. Stay rooted in your values. Be grateful for the small things. Be gentle—with yourself and with others. Lead with kindness. Leave people and places better than you found them.

May we take care of one another.

Peace 🕊️☮️❤️

Clear Lenses or Rose-Colored Glasses?
Seeing Life As It Is🩷

When we constantly push away hard emotions in the name of optimism, our bodies keep the score. Suppressed feelings can trigger stress, tension, and disconnect us from our intuition.

True balance means honoring both light and shadow — seeing life as it is, not just as we wish it to be.

I’ve reestablished my Google Business page for The Wholistic Heart Studio and one of the best ways to strengthen it is through reviews.

If you’re a current or past client and feel called to share your experience, I’d be so grateful if you could leave a review on my Google page. Your words help others find their way to me.

RE: Testimony in Support of H.2504 and S.1471, An Act Providing for Consumer Access and the Right to Practice Complementary and Alternative Health Care Services

Dear Chairs and Members of the Committee:

My name is (your first and last name) (or I am writing on behalf of a business or organization) and I am a (type of practitioner, teacher or consumer) who resides in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

(Do not add where you reside if you do not live or work in MA. Please note, that anyone in the US can join in writing a letter of support).

State why you support protecting unlicensed alternative and complementary health practitioners. Include a personal story, perhaps how you or someone you know benefited from this care. Tell the Committee how the law could affect you, your family, and your community and/or organization or business.

Example:

I want to voice my strong support for H.2504 and S.1471, as a law will protect existing holistic practitioners in Massachusetts and encourage new healers to set up practices.

I’ve personally benefited from seeing a variety of holistic and energy medicine practitioners over the past 20 years for things like headaches, joint pain, insomnia, and hormonal issues. I’m so grateful to have access to these kinds of options when I need them. As stress levels rise and more people struggle with chronic health issues, every state should want to make it easier—not harder—for residents to access complementary or alternative care. That’s why laws to protect these practitioners are so important.

Please vote yes on H.2504 and S.1471. Thank you for your time and consideration of this issue.

Sincerely,

It's been a MINUTE!
Sometimes we need to pause to be productive. Take a breath, take stock, move from the heart to the places we feel called. I miss you all. This is the energy I have been feeling lately. It's got me thinking & savoring the season shift.
An excerpt from my latest blog.

"I’ve always needed the light.

I crave it, soak in it, and wait for it through the quiet gray of winter.

There’s something about this time of year that feels expansive and alive, as if the world itself is reaching toward something greater.

And yet, despite all that spaciousness, summer seems to move at lightning speed"....
