We all have a tender “Baby” inside us — the part that just wants to feel safe enough to rest, to be held, to finally let go.

This past week I’ve been writing about Baby Joy — the part of me that needed safety, nourishment, and care more than anything else.

The truth is, we all carry this tender part. The one that longs for safety, for rest, for the chance to express what’s been suppressed.

This is exactly the kind of space I create in my one-on-one healing sessions. A space where you don’t have to hold it all together, where your body and nervous system can reset.

If you feel like it’s time for that kind of support, I’d love to work with you.

What would happen if, instead of pushing through, you paused and listened to the most fragile part of yourself?

This line has been living in me since writing my latest piece.

So often we override our own signals in the name of productivity, when what our body actually needs is safety, nourishment, and care.

I shared the full reflection on Substack if you’d like to read:

✨ Healing prompt: What is the tender part of you asking for today?

02/09/2025

My body didn’t ask for more doing—it asked for safety.

Over the past few months, I pulled back from socializing and much of the outer noise of life. What called me wasn’t willpower or discipline, but a deeper listening to the part of me that felt fragile, unsafe, and in need of care.

I call her 𝘉𝘢𝘣𝘺 𝘑𝘰𝘺. 💜

In learning to mother her, I discovered something I think many of us forget: our bodies don’t just need discipline—they need safety, nourishment, and attunement.

I shared the whole story on Substack:

✨ Healing thought for you today: Instead of pushing through, pause and ask — what signal is my body giving me right now? The smallest act of listening can be the beginning of change.

🌿 NEW VIDEO 🌿

Over the years, I used many healing modalities. But what’s changed everything for me — and for my clients — is what I now call Active Mirroring.

In this short story, I explain how I’ve stepped away from formulas and now follow the guidance of the body itself — not just mine, but the client's.

💫 Results are deeper.
💫 Changes are faster.
💫 Healing lasts.

🌱 What I’ve learned: the body already knows the way.
When we stop pushing and start listening, healing happens from the inside out — and it stays.

This is what makes my work different. And if you’ve been curious — this video might speak directly to something you’ve been feeling.

I am here.
My work is available.

For years, I’ve been cultivating a way of holding space that helps people release the weight they’ve carried for far too long—stress, grief, trauma, patterns that no longer belong.

This is my calling. This is what I am here to do.

If you’ve been feeling the pull, this is your invitation. My 1:1 healing sessions are now open. You don’t need to know the “how.” You just need to arrive with openness.

📞 Sessions are held remotely via phone, 75–90 minutes. (In-person available in Howell, Mi)
💫 Financial assistance is available if needed.

This is about transformation. This is about life.
If you feel the nudge, you’ll know;)

This video is part of a new series of personal healing stories I’m sharing. Honest, raw, and hopefully useful for wherever you are in your journey.

Have you ever felt like you were doing all the right things—and still getting nowhere?

For most of my life, I thought my exhaustion meant something was wrong with me. But it turns out, I was just working in a way that didn’t fit my natural design.

This is the story of how I began honoring my rhythm instead of forcing it—and the surprising freedom that came with it.

New YouTube series: Healing Anecdotes
These will be raw, intimate shares from my own life—where physical pain, emotional release, and soul-level transformation meet.

In this first video, I share a real recent experience: Severe neck pain knocked me off my feet and into deep stillness. At first, I distracted myself. But eventually, I listened.

💡 What I discovered:
I wasn’t being punished—I was being guided.
This pain wasn’t the problem. It was the portal.

There are days when something just sits in the body.
Not quite a story.
Not quite a feeling.
Just... a weight. A hum. A holding.

And sometimes we don’t need to understand it to let it move.

This 10-minute reset isn’t about fixing or solving.
It’s not about being present or positive or mindful.

It’s about allowing—whatever’s quietly stuck in you—to begin to reorganize itself.
With no agenda. No performance.
Just breath, presence, and a subtle but powerful energetic invitation.

You don’t have to do it right.
You don’t even have to sit still.
Just press play and see what happens.

✨ Watch the Reset here:

You might feel more.
You might feel less.
You might feel like yourself again.

Let me know what shifts.

I’ve always loved words. But some of the most powerful truths I’ve ever shared… weren’t spoken at all.

Lately, I’ve been exploring what it means to be felt, not just heard.

How our presence can be our voice.
How our frequency—calm, grounded, joyful—can create safety and transformation without a single word.

I wrote about this in the latest issue of Women2Women Michigan Magazine.

It’s about authenticity that isn’t loud. Influence that’s invisible. And the way resonance can ripple.

🌀 If you’re someone who’s done a lot of doing, but is ready to let your being speak… I hope it touches you.
