Since I was a little bitty 16 year old and went to my first yoga class I have been drawn to the wisdom of the “older lady”. First was Mataji who I followed to India at 18 and on it went, learning from the grey haired women. New York was rich with crone wisdom.

The hot yoga classes are packed over here in Cape Town, young, fit, fast, I truly marvel at how this is where the majority of the people go when tucked away are teachers with immense wisdom and experience. It’s not sexy yoga, but it sure is satisfying.

I prefer the company of the cool room with minimal students who have been with Carol for over 30 years.

Today the students all signed a card for one of the students Pauleen who is turning 95 years old tomorrow. These women are just the best and very funny.

Also I asked Carol if I could take a picture of her and I for an Instagram post and she asked me “what’s that?”.

Hi All,

One of my clients and I recently paused to reflect , we’ve been working together for six years. That kind of long-term relationship can feel rare, especially in a culture that often questions therapy’s duration or compares it to quicker-fix healing modalities. But in my 20 years as a therapist, what I know deeply is this: the relationship between therapist and client is sacred.

People often come to therapy in a moment of acute need; heartbreak, anxiety, loss, transition. That’s natural. But many choose to stay because something deeper unfolds: a space for reflection, meaning-making, and ongoing growth. It’s not about dependency. It’s about continuity, trust, and a place to return to as life evolves.

I’ve worked with my own therapist for over 15 years. I don’t go as frequently as I did in the beginning, but knowing I can return to someone who has witnessed the arc of my story is invaluable.

The therapeutic relationship is central to how I work. Holding and remembering someone’s story over time is a privilege that deepens my curiosity and care for who they are - and who they’re becoming.

If you’re looking for a relational therapist, rooted in somatics and matters of the heart, I currently have a couple of openings.

You can learn more about my work through my Psychology Today profile.

Warmly,
Deborah

Holy Macaroni, times are weird.

Lately, I’ve been swinging between obsessively staying informed and needing to stick my body in a sauna and focus on breathing like it’s the only thing that matters.

When a friend offered me a free audiobook, I asked, “Is it sad and depressing? Because honestly, I just can’t right now.”
Anyone else?

This Cancer New Moon feels like a soft pull back to ourselves. This is an invitation to tend to our tender parts, come home to our bodies, and remember we can actually feel safe in here.

So, I’m offering a free class tomorrow, to move, breathe, and exhale together.
If you need it, if you want it, it’s yours.

I’d love to see you there. 💛

My birthday plan, once this post is posted is to take 9 days as Clarissa Pinkola Estes suggests and do some cleaning. House cleaning, spiritual cleaning, cleaning out the riff raff and scraps from my psyche that shouldn’t be there in the first place.

According to the Kabbalistic teachings the number 45 is linked to the concept of a “garden” or a protected space, signifying a sense of security and guarding against negativity. I am gonna do some weeding, some planting and sit there for a while and enjoy the flowers and trees.

I lay in bed the other night and was wrapped in some real negative thoughts, once I felt done with that, I got to work on not just thinking but feeling all the good in my life. I felt it from my kidneys, my kishkes and bones. Then I lulled myself into dreamland. It’s the same advice I tell my son, think of good things on your way to dreamland.

Thanks to those who have loved me so far. You are part of my garden.

I love my birthday and I love being alive.

I flew to Oxford, England for the week to assist my dear friend .ann.johnson in her Jaguar training. Firstly, old Blighty is a beauty. All those stones!

I melted into our host and now new friend .j.carson in her home, on the floor and over coffee and meeting of farm animals.

, Emily and I were the room trackers, the scanners and the space holders. Supporting each other as we supported the whole.

The week was magic. Hard to describe. Body art. Heart art. Friend art.

Thank you for a gorgeous time everyone and mostly to my wife, who just supports me in immense ways so I can do my thing.

There was so much communication without words on this retreat. We processed in very different ways. We allowed the body to inform our consciousness and our consciousness to wake up parts of our bodies that were in the shadows.

I have been in the field of yoga and Somatics for more than half my life now and the endless explorations always offer me insight and vitality.

This retreat was epic. I knew it would be. I am proud I made it happen from the other end of the world .

Thank you to my main squeeze and fellow body traveler

Where to next?…..

Brooklyn, NYC! I am coming for ya!

I am excited to announce I will be coming to NYC to teach a class at in Brooklyn in February. My friend Erynn always jokes that I am the only person in her life that has roped her into a long distance friendship for life. I call her almost every day at 6am NYC time to make sure she hears my voice.

So despite the fact that I literally live in the bottom of Africa, I am so deeply committed to my long distance relationship with all my New York students. I can do this online and when I have the opportunity I will see you in person on the way to my Costa Rica retreat!

So for those of you in NYC, I hope you can sign up and join me in a few weeks. It will be a dream to see familiar faces again.

Dear All,

As I have immersed myself in the stories of the fires, I am struck by how much NEED there is. There are so many directions we can go to try and help, to do something, to be generous. I remember reading a survey a while ago asking parents what the No.1 quality is that they wanted their kids to have. Guess what is was?

KINDNESS.

Rooted in kindness is simply the art of giving. Giving of time, attention, resources, gifts. To give is to be kind.

I decided to donate the funds we raise to this awesome organization that supports incarcerated firefighters. I chose this place to donate to because I used to work as a therapist to kids on probation doing family therapy in the judicial system and I just know what these kids are up against and what happens when people don’t get the kind of care and kindness they need.

All of this is to say that I hope yo can join me tomorrow at 9am EST and donate any amount so we can give from our extended Juniper community. I like giving together.

1 spot has just opened up for a private room on our retreat. Does it have your name on it? We also have some sharing is caring rooms available too.

If you are in need of support during a breakup. Please join Erynn and I on February 3rd.

With love and Happy FULL Moon in Cancer Vibes. It’s all about the feelings.

Love
Deborah
