Happy Mother's Day! This mama is going hiking!

04/29/2026

Did you realize how close Mother's Day is? It's coming soon. In my house we started a new tradition a few years ago where we go hiking on Mothers Day. My choice. I love hiking, grounding myself and my family in the forests in the Adirondacks. Stopping at little shops on our way then dinner together. It makes me heart happy to have my babies around.

Do you have a special lady in your life you like to honor on that day? Need some gift ideas? Well don't you worry I got you! I just restocked my section at Idlenot Fibersmiths located on 87 Main St., Greenwich Ny 12834.
I have gift baskets in three different price brackets, jewelry, spiritual cleansers, a craft kit, new makeup bags (or spell bags, you know whatever you want to keep in there). You can grab that lady a great gift and sweeten the pot to be called "the favorite " by adding a gift certificate. There are ones for 30 minute Reiki sessions, 60 minute Reiki Sessions and ones for my Craft Classes. Hurry down and score an amazing gift!

Running multiple businesses /jobs now a days is the norm. It's how we get our hustle on. Most people I know are working a full time job and are doing things on the side to survive. Me? Yup I run a daycare or as I affectionately say "I herd cats for a living". I have for 23 years. I love all the kids and families who have come through my doors. (I have been a single mother twice in my life so I have also cleaned houses at night and worked all day.) Now in the last 4 years I needed and wanted more. So the stars aligned and with a Gentle push from Jessica I started offering my Reiki skills. FYI she has awesome crystals for sale in her crystal Shed and is right next to Greenwich Stewart's. Check her page out for her business hours. It's been an amazing journey. I have also for years made "stuff". In my family I have artists, musicians, amazing singers...... yeah I didn't get those genes! lol But I can look at a pile of stuff and turn it into something cool! I love making folk crafts, repurposing stuff and trying my hand at lots of different mediums. So I created . I have a little road side stand, I used to been in a bunch of stores (too much life now for that) craft fairs and I have things available at the store (Idlenot Fibersmiths). Phew this is a long post! Lol But my point is Chase your hustle, do things that make your heart and soul sing. While some of us are lucky to love our day job it doesn't mean it checks every box in life. Set up those crafty things, learn a new hobby, even with busy lives of kids, jobs, houses there is time to feed your soul and hell who knows maybe make some $$$ doing it!!! Here is my crafty thing I have been working on this week.

Intention bowls. Set for different intentions using crystals, herbs, spices, statues and Reiki all set with Resin. Yup that's my kitchen table.

Come and see me and let's figure out your soul passion with some Intuitive Reiki. Apts on nights and weekends. 30 minutes for $30 and 60 minutes for $60. Idlenot Fibersmiths 87 Main St., Greenwich Ny.

Chemicals!!!! Sigh they have become such a common occurrence in our lives. We ingest them, rub them on us, eat them etc.

I have been studying herbal remedies for quite awhile now. Anyone who comes to my house gets doused in oils depending on their complaints. 😂

I am all for modern science, immunizations, medications etc but if we can switch out some of it for more natural remedies/cleaning products, why not do it?

I eliminated so much expensive skin care items after learning about castor oil and its health/beauty benefits. I make our laundry soap, cleaning wipes, and dryer sheets now. It saves a ton of money but also has alot less chemicals than regular cleaners. I also have a very skin sensitive child so we have to be very careful with perfumes, dyes and chemicals since she was born. (Kid was allergic to aloe for Pete's sake!).

So that being said if you're interested in getting a little more homeopathic helpers in your life I am stocking the shop with a new product this weekend. As previously stated I suffer from migraines (Not so much after my new piercing though). So I have used oils for years to help reduce the pain. I am excited to share that I am bringing you some amazing "Headache Salve". It contains coconut oil, frankincense, peppermint and lavender essential oils. I also gave each batch some extra oomph with some Reiki energy. A bunch of my family and friends have tried it out and it WORKS great!
Tins are 2oz each and are $10 a tin.
Coming soon will be:
"Dragons Breath" a cayenne pepper olive oil infused muscle salve!
Jens Tick Spray - Essential oil based spray safe for pets and kids! 

Oh yay and if you're looking for other ways to cleanse and detox your body try out an amazing foot detox at Soulshine Vibes! Then get some Reiki from me! Massages are a great tool as well. Mackenzie Rouleau, LMT, MLD-C is amazing. And look at how convenient it is that Reiki and Massage are both in the same shop and the foot detox is across the st.

Make some apts today!!! Give your body the Spring Clean out it needs and deserves!

"Self care is so important". I preach it a lot. I even have to do it. This week I had the worst migraine of my life. Nothing was touching it. I spent Thursday drugged, ice packed, and trying any trick I knew. Friday I went and had an amazing head, neck and shoulder massage from Mackenzie Rouleau, LMT, MLD-C. Which helped tremendously. I made an appointment for chiropractic care with Whipple City Family Chiropractic, PLLC. Then yesterday I went and got the "migraine piercing" Odyssey Tattoo and Piercing. 😳 Ouch! But it had helped!
I can usually give myself a helping hand with Reiki but sometimes even I have to give in to self care!

Everyone's stress levels are so high right now. Which is causing muscle pain, eye strain, aches, pains, stomach issues and MIGRAINES!!! Get the self care. Including some Reiki with me.
Apts are available nights and weekends, 30 minutes for $30 and 60 minutes for $60.

Today is the anniversary of the beginning of the Salem Witch Trial nonsense. When I think about the name "Witch" and all the meanings it has and all the people who have been accused and persecuted against due to the negative connotations of that word, it hurts my heart. Healers, herbalists, midwifes, psychics, intuitives, are just the tip of-the ice berg. They also accused autistic people, epileptic's or anyone out spoken or out of the accepted "norm" as a "Witch" or possessed by the devil. What a terrible legacy. Thankfully in our time people understand more of the things "healers" can do. Covens are wanted and celebrated as mom clubs, book clubs, PTSA, sewing circles etc. They are even just a bunch of cool ladies who like to learn some folklore and make cool energetic crafts. 😉 ( And i enjoy them immensely) My "Coven" are beautiful, strong, smart, kind, caring, daring and all around lovely ladies I am blessed to know. My friends, my clients, my neighbors, family, co workers, my craft ladies who come to my classes all make me a better me. Isn't that the best part of any Coven?

Come try out some Reiki with me. It's holistic, it's safe, it helps you to feel better and be better. Apts are available nights and weekends in downtown Greenwich at 87 Main St. 30 minutes is $30, 60 minutes is $60. Call 518 538-7528 to schedule.

This past weekend we had a new floor put in our kitchen and we needed to move heavy furniture around. The next day we went and picked up a piece of heavy antique furniture that was a dream of mine. Needless to say our backs reminded us that we are not that young anymore. lol Thankfully between some over the counter meds, heating pads and Reiki we are both back to normal! Reiki is an amazing tool in a tool box of things for overall health. I suffer from migraines and Essentional oils, massages and Reiki are a huge help! In our home we tackle pain with holistic treatments and modern medicine. We are often places and my children will tell me they have a headache or a pain and want Reiki to treat it.

Reiki while it is NOT a cure is a valuable tool. Stress, aches, pains, emotional blockages are all things I can help you with while using Reiki. I am available nights and weekends by appointment at Idlenot Fibersmiths located at 87 Main St., Greenwich Ny 12834. Call 518 538-7528 to schedule. 30 minutes are $30 and 60 minutes are $60.

Did you know that most people feel heat from my hands while receiving Reiki? What a great benefit during this freeze!!

All joking aside this freeze is making us all ache. Every old injury starts to rear its ugly head reminding us "hey remember that time.....". Reiki can help with that! Besides the added benefit of the heat and the nice warm cosey treatment room (heated pad on the treatment table too) Reiki helps release aches and pains. Improves circulation and provides an all over sense of relaxation. The world's current physical and emotional climate is not great. So take some time and do something for yourself to help with all the stress.
Appointments are available evenings and weekends. 30 minutes are $30 and 60 minutes are $60. Please call 518 538-7528 to schedule . Located at Idlenot Fibersmiths at 87 Main St. , Greenwich Ny 12834.
