Some kids struggle more during and after the holidays because of:

🔄 disrupted routines
🎧 overstimulation
💥 emotional overload
➡️ transitions
😟 social anxiety
🏠 family dynamics
😴 changes in sleep

If your child seems “off,” withdrawn, more reactive, or overwhelmed, therapy can help them reset before school and schedules pick back up.

A calm 2026 starts with support now.

Motherhood isn’t about living up to anyone else’s standard.

It’s not about perfection, Pinterest boards, or what others think a “good mom” should be. It’s about the love and care you give every single day—the small moments, the messy ones, the moments you don’t even notice.

It’s the space you give your child to feel and grow. The patience you give yourself when you stumble. The support you offer your partner as he grows alongside you.

All those things—the dinners you make, the hugs you give, the lessons you teach, the mistakes you recover from—they matter. Motherhood is measured in love, not limits, not comparisons. 💫

Sometimes the seasons that feel the darkest are the ones where we believe we’ve been left alone.

But what if you haven’t been abandoned—what if you’re being held differently?

In moments of overwhelm, grief, or feeling stuck, support doesn’t always look like answers or relief. Sometimes it looks like quiet strength. Steady presence. The ability to keep going one more step.

You are not alone in this season. Even when you can’t feel it yet.

Loss comes in many forms, and it often leaves us with more questions than answers.

I’m on the path to becoming a certified grief educator, and through this journey I’ve learned that healing from life’s traumas and losses takes time, patience, and compassion.

Loss isn’t just about a person—it can be a job, a relationship, a pregnancy, a house, a pet, or even a part of yourself. Each loss shapes how we see the world, how we build relationships, and how we navigate our daily lives.

We need space to heal. We need our pain to be witnessed. We need to grieve without shame or pressure for a “timeline.” Childhood trauma and loss can take a lifetime to process, and as adults, finally understanding those experiences can bring relief—but also new emotions.

Remember: memories are not there to keep the pain alive—they’re there to remind us that those we loved lived, and that we survived.

💛 Be gentle with yourself. Healing is not linear, and it’s not a race.

Craniosacral therapy helps your nervous system exhale - something most of us desperately need in January and February.

Clients often notice:
😌 deeper relaxation
😴 better sleep
🤕 fewer stress headaches
🦷 less jaw and neck tension
🧠 emotional steadiness
🧘‍♀️ feeling more “in their body”

If you want to start the new year without carrying last year’s tension, CST is a gentle and effective reset.

Lately, I’ve been holding a lot of care for the teachers, nurses, and others in helping professions that I have the privilege of supporting as a therapist.

Many are in a tender, heavy season—showing up for others with compassion and skill while quietly feeling stretched, tired, and overwhelmed. Caring so deeply often means carrying more than what’s visible.

If this is you, it’s okay to say this is hard. Wanting more balance, support, or sustainability doesn’t mean you care less—it means you care enough to want things to feel more humane.

Sometimes, simply noticing the care happening around us can make a difference. Pausing to offer patience, to listen, or to acknowledge someone’s effort—especially when it goes unseen—can be deeply meaningful.

The people who care for our communities deserve care too. 💛

I hear the same pain from so many women:
“I feel like I’m doing everything alone.”

When they ask for help, they’re told,
“I worked all day.”
And in that moment, something inside them sinks.

Because having a baby doesn’t just change our schedule—it changes who we are.

Our bodies no longer feel like our own.
The mirror feels unfamiliar.
The woman we used to be feels far away.
And the connection we once had with our partner can feel out of reach.

Birth is a trauma to the body.
Sometimes to the heart, too.

Men experience this season differently, but they experience it nonetheless. Not through hormones, but through loss—of identity, of certainty, of knowing where they fit in this new version of the relationship. They want to help, but they don’t know how. They can’t fix what hurts, and that helplessness can turn into distance.

When dads come home and moms quietly take on everything—because it feels easier than asking again—resentment starts to grow in the silence.

Couples don’t know how to grieve this change together.
So they argue.
They pull away.
They wait for it to “go back to normal.”

Meanwhile, men may feel rejected and confused, longing for the closeness they once had. Women may feel unseen, touched out, and exhausted—still needing to be held, but too tired to explain why.

This isn’t a season to fight each other.
It’s a season to hold each other.

To learn how to ask for help without shame.
To listen without defensiveness.
To remember you’re on the same side—even when everything feels different.

Because this season doesn’t need more blame.
It needs more understanding.
More tenderness.
And more courage to heal together.

You made it through another year you were never meant to carry alone.

If you’re craving peace, rest, and emotional clarity in 2026…

you’re allowed to start now.

Therapy, EFT tapping, and craniosacral therapy help your mind and body soften, especially after a year that stretched you thin.

You deserve a gentler year. We can help you build one.

Healing isn’t just about your story—it’s about the story you inherited. 💛

In my work, we often look beyond your experiences and gently explore the world you were raised in—your mom, caregivers, siblings, and environment.
Not to excuse what hurt you.
Not to invalidate your pain.
But to offer perspective, soften the narrative, and create space for real healing.

Because becoming “better” isn’t about proving anything—it’s about healing what was never yours to carry.

School starts back up for many families tomorrow, and after the holidays, this transition can bring a lot of mixed emotions.

Parents are shifting kids back into routines after two weeks without much structure. Some families may be returning after illness disrupted holiday plans, making this season feel bittersweet. There can be relief in returning to normalcy—alongside exhaustion, stress, or sadness. All of it makes sense.

Kids may feel excited to see their friends and share stories from break, while also feeling sad about leaving home, family, pets, favorite shows, and games. Teachers, too, hold a lot during this time—supporting children as they move from unstructured days back into structured ones, while navigating emotions of their own.

This transition can be hard for everyone—and no one is doing it wrong.

So let’s take a breath. Let’s allow space for all of these feelings to exist. Routines will return, rhythms will settle, and things will fall into place.

As this new year of beginnings unfolds, may we move into it with patience, compassion, and a little extra grace—for ourselves and for one another. 💛
