You weren’t meant to live like this...

Always holding it together.
Exhausted but still showing up.
Getting through the day, but wondering… is this really it?

I created something for the woman who knows, deep in her bones, that something has to change. Not someday. Now.

✨ A Sacred Pause ✨
A one-day retreat to reconnect to your body, your truth, your power. To exhale. To remember who you are underneath the noise and expectations. This isn’t self-care as you’ve been taught it.

It’s a radical act of self-remembering.

Let’s talk about hydration. 💦

My dear friend and mentor, SiriChand Khalsa , an integrative and Ayurvedic physician, recently gave a powerful talk on mindful hydration at the Colorado Integrative Medicine Conference—and I haven’t stopped thinking about it.

Hydration seems simple, but most of us aren’t as mindful about it as we could be. I know I’m not. Living in Colorado, I often get to the end of the day and realize I’m playing catch-up—headachy, tired, a little off. Dehydrated.

Dr. Khalsa reminded us that water isn’t just functional—it’s sacred. We are mostly water. The Earth is mostly water. And our relationship with this element is both physical and spiritual.

She also shared a study that really stuck with me: even low levels of chronic dehydration can stress the body—and have been linked to increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and even premature death. It's not just about comfort. It’s about health. Longevity. Vitality.

So here’s your reminder (and mine):
💧 Drink water. Often. With intention.
🍓 Make it beautiful if that helps—add strawberries, mint, cucumber, or a slice of orange.
☀️ Try herbal teas or electrolyte drinks in the summer heat.
✨ And as you sip, pause. Feel that connection to something elemental.

Water sustains life. And it sustains you.

I was recently reintroduced to "The Invitation" again. It’s one of those poems that shows up in front of me every so often. And each time, a different part of it grabs me by the heart. Years ago, it was the part about dreaming—about longing for something deeper, something more alive.

Then it was the part about grief… the invitation to sit with sorrow without rushing to fix it (after all, that has always been my journey as a palliative care doctor). But this time? This time it was the line about not betraying yourself, about being willing to disappoint someone else in order to be true to you.

That one screams out loudly to me now. Because I’ve done it. Over and over. I didn’t even realize I was doing it before. Like so many women, I’ve betrayed myself in the name of being liked, being easy, being a “good team member” or even a good doctor. ✨ I’ve said yes when my body said no.✨ I’ve kept quiet to keep the peace. I’ve made myself small so someone else wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.

Working with Dr. Amanda Hanson ( muse) woke me up to how often I’d been abandoning myself. When I finally began to see what self-abandonment looks like, in the big moments and the small, I see myself and other women doing it over and over because it’s what we were taught. That being good means being accommodating, that our priority is caring for everyone else, that our needs can be put aside for days or weeks or years.

But here’s what I know — we will never be vibrantly healthy, when we continue to abandon ourselves. "The Invitation" is just that— an invitation to live more deeply, an invitation to be honest with ourselves, an invitation to a rich and soulful life.

What line speaks to you? What part of you is asking to be honored?

🌞 Summer is a season that often pulls us outward—into activity, connection, movement, and doing.

And while that can be energizing and joyful, it’s also easy to lose touch with the quieter messages our bodies are sending us.

You may find yourself needing more rest, slower mornings, or deeper hydration… even when the world says “go.”

This is your reminder:
✨ It’s okay to feel tired, even on the sunniest days.
✨ You don’t need to fill every weekend.
✨ Rest is just as sacred in summer as it is in winter.

Listening to your body’s wisdom—especially when the pace picks up—is a powerful form of self-care. Let yourself soften. Pause. Receive. Your healing doesn’t take a break in summer… it simply shifts its rhythm. 🌿 With intention, always.

Grief changes us. Not just in the ways we expect— but in the quiet breaking-open that lets more light in. ❤️‍🩹

We often think of grief as something we must overcome. But grief is not a problem to fix. It’s a portal. A companion. A midwife to our becoming.

This Saturday, July 19th from 11:30am - 1:00pm, I’m holding a Grief Circle—a safe and sacred space to tend the losses that live within us.

Whether your grief is rooted in death or shaped by the quieter heartbreaks of life—this space is for you: the parent you’ve lost or maybe you never had, the relationship that ended, the moments you lost yourself, the diagnosis or news that changed everything, the body that is changing or anything else you’ve lost, in body or in spirit

In this circle, we don’t rush or fix grief: we honor it, we let it breathe. We gather in community to listen, share, and begin the slow work of alchemizing our sorrow into something softer, wiser, and more whole.

Because grief, when witnessed, can lighten.
It can shape us into something new.

As Francis Weller writes:
"We are remade in times of grief, broken apart and reassembled."
🕊 Come sit with us.
✨ Come just as you are.
🌿 All grief is we

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), summer is the season of the heart and the fire element—a time of warmth, passion, connection, and joy. 🔥❤️

But just like fire, summer energy can be bright and beautiful… or overwhelming and scattered.
This season invites us to care for our heart—physically and emotionally—through nourishment, rest, and intentional presence. And though the temptation is to go, go, go… returning to ourselves and turning inward is essential.

Here are a few simple ways to support your heart this summer:
🍒 Visit a local farmer’s market and eat fresh, seasonal heart-nourishing foods like cherries, leafy greens, watermelon, and beets
💧 Stay cool and hydrated to balance internal heat
🧘‍♀️ Practice calm breathing, gentle movement, or meditation
💛 Say yes to joy, laughter, and meaningful connection
🌸 Make space for stillness and emotional release

Summer is not just a season of doing—it’s a time for feeling, expressing, and tending to what matters most.

How will you care for your heart this season?

Mark your calendar for a full-day women’s retreat led by me, Dr. Sonny Miles. It will be an invitation to return to yourself, soften your grip, and remember who you are beneath it all.

Think: soul-soothing movement, guided meditation, time in nature, nourishing food, and the kind of community that makes you feel seen.

This is your moment.
Let it be sacred.
More details to come—stay tuned.

IT'S OFFICIALLY HERE! 🎉 The very first episode of "Your Life Is The Medicine" is live and ready for you.

In this episode, I invite you to reimagine healing as a lifelong journey, not a destination. Through stories, insights, and practical wisdom, I explore how everyday choices—how you move, eat, rest, connect—can become powerful tools for lasting wellness.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about tuning in, slowing down, and learning to trust your body’s wisdom.

Today marks the longest day of the year— a moment to pause, to breathe, and to honor the light within and around us.

The Summer Solstice is an invitation to reconnect with nature's rhythm and our own inner cycles. It reminds us that healing is not linear, and just like the seasons, our bodies and spirits move through phases of growth, rest, and transformation.

This is a beautiful time to ask:
✨ What is flourishing in my life?
✨ What do I want to nurture more deeply?
✨ Where can I allow more light in?

At Healing With Intention, we believe in honoring each season as part of your healing journey—supporting you physically, emotionally, and spiritually with care that aligns with nature's wisdom.

Wishing you warmth, clarity, and connection as we welcome summer’s light. ☀️

🌿 Seeing the Whole Picture: Why Integrative Medicine Matters 🌿

Conventional medicine is incredible at treating acute conditions, diagnosing diseases, and managing symptoms. But too often, it focuses on isolated issues rather than the bigger picture of your health.

🔎 You might be told your labs are "normal," but you still don’t feel like yourself.
💊 You might be prescribed medication without exploring why your symptoms started in the first place.
⏳ You might feel rushed through appointments, leaving with more questions than answers.

This is where integrative medicine bridges the gap. Instead of just treating symptoms, we look at your body as a whole—your hormones, nutrition, lifestyle, stress levels, and even emotional well-being. We blend the best of modern science with natural therapies to uncover root causes and create real, lasting healing.

✨ Your body is connected. Your care should be, too. ✨

Why Workshops & Retreats Are Essential for Your Healing Journey 🌿✨

If you're on a path to deeper healing—physically, emotionally, or spiritually—attending a workshop or retreat can be a powerful step forward. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Immersive Learning & Growth – Unlike quick appointments or self-guided research, workshops allow you to dive deep into healing practices with expert guidance. You leave not just with knowledge, but with real tools and techniques to implement.

2️⃣ Supportive Community – Healing isn’t meant to be done alone. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals creates a sense of connection, validation, and support that is truly transformative.

3️⃣ Dedicated Time for YOU – Life is busy, and prioritizing your well-being can be tough. Retreats give you intentional space to pause, reset, and focus solely on your healing journey—without distractions.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for the next step, a workshop or retreat could be exactly what you need. 💛
