I am taking my own medicine and challenging myself to show up online and in person more, especially when it's raw and not perfect.

I wrote the last few slides that I read aloud at Story while in a Waymo on the way home from being entrained at after one of my clesties informed me that she was going to per my recommendation on Wednesday night in SF.

This summer I have gone deep. I have been doing my own shadow work, family constellations, having profound sessions with clients, and was inspired by my husband's beloved grandmother's death, and my reckoning with my father's mortality.

I bore witness to my husband's and his whole family's deep grief after their matriarch passed suddenly, and was given the gift of being able to hold space for her and for them, and to offer her reiki on her final day.

The first slide is of the altar space that we created in lieu of a dining area, and I included a snippet from when I read this at Story, and a photo of our ancestors at our wedding in January.

Last month I stumbled upon a new community of Asian family constellations participants facilitated by after I made the decision to say goodbye to my office. This is what walking in alignment and belonging feels like.

I am grateful for and grieving who I used to be as I realize that she is shedding layers before my eyes.

I considered myself outspoken and direct, and yet I am finding that I still regret not speaking my truth for fear of offending, hurting, or triggering someone else.

So here I am, activating a very atrophied muscle here online.

I have been hidden in the shadows for far too long, so as not to draw any unwanted attention to myself. I learned that that invites criticism, ridicule, and judgement.

is one of the reasons I have found myself biting my tongue. People are so quick to write each other off and turn their backs on or fight people for saying the wrong thing. Our livelihoods may be affected as business owners.

The stakes are so high, that we don't even try to understand people with differing points of view because it threatens our world view. It might threaten how we perceive ourselves, and therefore our entire reality and life. That's terrifying for most people.

I am learning how to have misunderstandings and conflict and to repair. And let me tell you, that doesn't happen when we bite our tongue or tell half truths.

Under a fascist regime, my declaration of my values as a healing facilitator are long overdue.

⚡I AM NOT here to hold space for people who believe that their freedom, survival, safety, and happiness hinge on the erasure of another person's humanity, dignity, life, and rights.

⚡I AM here for collective liberation and healing truth sharing, collaboration, empowerment, unapologetic joy, and love.

Put more bluntly, I am anti-genocide, antiracist, antifascist, pro-choice, a feminist who believes trans women are women, anti-ICE, pro-decolonization, and all about uplifting the voices of people who have been silenced and oppressed.

Even though I'm not surprised by the outcome of the election, I found that my previous outer shell of indifference that has protected me for the past few weeks melted into a pool of grief today. Not because a Democrat or a woman lost the election, but because all I could think of is how disconnected from solidarity, mutual respect, care, and understanding most Americans are.

I was born on land that was stolen, from a lineage that fought to thrive here at the cost of the lives of its indigenous inhabitants. Half of my people were the problem here in this country. I come from working class, lower-income English/European stock on my mother's side. From people who probably voted for any politician who promised that they wouldn't have to struggle or worry about money anymore. It's a tale as old as time.

I am grateful for my ancestors for making it possible for me to be alive, and for the traits they passed on that have enabled me to survive and thrive, but I refuse to carry the weight of their outdated beliefs in my blood. I will not make decisions out of fear or self-preservation alone, but instead from my intuition, wisdom, and discernment.

People talk about patriotism, but how can you pledge allegiance to a system that was created to succeed by crushing and stripping the rights of other humans and destroying the land that you claim you would die for and that you claim belongs to you? What if patriotism meant being a steward of the land that we all live on, respecting and protecting all life that lives here, and recognizing every being's right to safety, dignity, and liberty?

What if loving this country and being a patriot meant loving and tending to the LAND that nourishes and heals us with its crops and herbs, the WATERS that quench our thirst and cleanse us, the AIR that is our breath of life and that carries the whispers of our ancestors, and FIRE that destroys to make room for renewal as well as the fire of our spirits?

If that were the definition , then I would call myself a patriot. Until then, I will continue to speak my intentions, hopes , and dreams for a different reality into existence.

I’ve been pulling cards for my community breath work participants, and as the time to come together gets closer, I feel more and more connected to the energy of the group.

🌚My next community breath work will be on December 11th in honor of the new moon.

We came together for our own personal intentions, but also held a collective intention for peace, love, unity, dignity, freedom, safety, support, and compassion for all beings everywhere who are suffering, traumatized, and oppressed.

This breath work session was dedicated to sending donations to charity for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

When I hold a vision of miraculous healing for all involved when I meditate, I am aware of the generational trauma within all parties’ DNA being activated by violence. It is activated by the energy of victimization, scarcity, and fear trapped in the cells of people who are oppressed and who are doing the oppressing.

The fear of being obliterated, imprisoned, tortured, murdered, forced to flee the land that they call home, treated as less than human, viewed as a undeserving of breathing the same air,l and being treated with the same dignity that is every human’s birth right is what drives people to madness and desperate acts of insanity to avoid feeling the pain of history repeated.

It is possible to treat the very earth that gives us sustenance with such disregard, and everyone else who lives here, when we view ourselves as disconnected from it and each other. We become disconnected from ourselves and others when we are traumatized and dissociated. It’s an effective survival method but it is not an evolved way to move forward, and is steeped in old paradigms and primal ways of being.

It is nearly impossible to make embodied decisions that are in the best interests of all involved, and that are aligned with our souls and highest selves, when we are fighting for our lives and resources.

The popular collective narrative is that there must be “justice”. No justice and balance can ever be experienced with more violence as the answer.

We must keep calling and praying for a permanent , so that the daunting journey of healing and repair can begin.

I'd like to offer a different perspective on failure from the lens of neuromuscular reprogramming.

When I muscle test a client, I am not looking for the strength and power that the muscle can demonstrate. Because many of us strive for competency and to prove ourselves, we might push through a muscle test with great force. More force than is actually necessary or warranted for the amount of resistance being provided.

That only makes the whole process slower because sometimes I can be fooled into thinking the muscle is competent when in reality that great force was an act of overcompensating for a lack of energy/strength/competency.

But the beauty of allowing the weak muscle to fail/shake/drop when meeting resistance, is that real and instant change is possible because only then does your brain recognize this failure as an opportunity to change the way that it's prioritizing sending energy to your muscles. Our brains want to be optimal and efficient in all that we do, so when presented with undeniable feedback in the form of a muscle test, it will readily change course.

In other words, your patterns of imbalance, pain, tension, and atrophy in your muscles can change within seconds in a session like this, and possibly for the long term depending on how stubborn and old the pattern is, and the cadence of sessions.

Instead of looking at failure as a sign that you should give up, I invite you to be inspired by your own beautiful brain and to see it as an opportunity to shift, regroup, reprogram, recalibrate, and to be patient and compassionate with yourself as you learn new ways of being in the world that often feel clumsy and confusing.

This is the day after having my neck scraped by . I started going to her again after a few years hiatus for my heel pain, which has been helping me tremendously! I was having trouble turning my head after straining my neck a few days ago, and when I told Renee, she suggested gua shua. There are specific gua shua tools you can use or if you even just have a ceramic soup spoon that works fabulously as well.

She explained to me that the pressure should be firm enough to cause this redness to pop up while you're doing it. It kind of tickled and burned in an interesting way. It wasn't painful to me, and after a minute or so, I could turn my head more easily without pain!

Never do this on dry skin though! You want your skin to be well oiled/lubricated so that you're breaking up the fascia underneath and not tearing at your skin.

Thank you, Renee!

Incredible feedback from one of my new regulars. I get such joy from holding space for not just physical releases, but emotional and energetic releases as well. To witness people transform over the course of a few sessions is such an honor and one that I don’t take for granted. 💗

As cases rise in San Francisco, I’m still taking precautions to minimize risk of exposure as much as possible by always wearing a mask, and by requiring that clients also wear a mask unless they have a negative Covid test result within 72 hours of their appointment time.

A sneak peek from my photo shoot with last week. This is a place that’s close to my heart. I used to live close to it and walk there sometimes multiple times a week for 14 years. This piece of land has held me as I’ve gone through countless transformations, cried, screamed into the wind, sang, and contemplated life.
This place was home and where I felt safe to feel all the big emotions I tried to push down. I spent years working and partying to distract and numb myself from dealing with trauma from my past, but now I’m choosing to come home to myself. I’m choosing to move through pain and discomfort instead of distract from it. It’s not always pretty, and it’s really exhausting a lot of the time, but it’s the only way I know how to heal, to be fully alive, and present.

Today’s card pulled from the beautiful oracle deck I got from . I asked what I needed to know today in order to best serve my clients and the people in my life. The wisdom is in the body.
