Christmas is a time that naturally turns us toward what matters most.

Love. Family. Presence. Gratitude. Reflection.

It’s also a gentle reminder of the importance of creating a Life Well Lived — and of tending, with care, to the practical and emotional details that support those we love, now and in the future. Having our wishes known, our affairs in order, and our values clearly expressed is one of the greatest gifts we can give our families.

This season, may we slow down enough to reflect on what truly matters, to live with intention, and to care for one another with honesty and love — in life and in the conversations that help prepare us for its natural transitions.

Wishing you and those you love a peaceful Christmas and a New Year filled with clarity, connection, and meaning. 🎄✨

For the past 14 years, it has been a true privilege to teach at the Alexander Technique Retreat. I feel deeply grateful for the incredible participants I’ve met along the way and for the opportunity to work alongside such gifted, dedicated Alexander Technique teachers. Each year has been a reminder of how rich and alive this Work truly is.

What I’ve witnessed again and again is that the Alexander Technique offers so much more than improved posture or poise. When people immerse themselves in a five-day intensive—held within the beauty and quiet magic of the Serra Retreat Center—the work reaches the whole system. It gently re-regulates from the inside out, supporting clarity, ease, and a deeper sense of self.

As we come together for this final gathering at Serra, I so look forward to celebrating with both longtime friends and those joining us for the first time. I am profoundly grateful to Michael Frederick for his vision and dedication in creating and sustaining these remarkable retreats for over 42 years. What a gift it has been to be part of this journey.

Happening Now... # fullmoonlunareclipse

The year’s second total lunar eclipse is coming up fast, and this time Asia will have the best seats in the cosmos.

🌕✨ Corn Moon - Rare Blood Moon & Lunar Eclipse – September’s Gift ✨🌕

As a Full Moon lover, this moon brings a powerful celestial moment: the lunar eclipse Blood Full Moon, which won’t be visible from the northern hemisphere, but its energetic influence reaches us all.

The Corn Moon, traditionally marking harvest time, invites us to gather what we’ve been cultivating—lessons, intentions, relationships—and reflect on what is ready to be reaped, and what is ready to be released.

The lunar eclipse adds another layer: deep transformation. Eclipses are moments of revelation—sudden shifts, endings, and openings. They often bring hidden truths to light, allowing us to shed old skins and step into new phases with more clarity and purpose.

🌙 From a Vedic Perspective
In Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), eclipses are considered profound spiritual thresholds. The Moon, linked to our mind, heart, and emotions, is temporarily shadowed. This can stir restlessness, heightened emotions, or sudden insights. Traditionally, it’s advised to slow down, turn inward, and focus on mantra, meditation, and self-care during eclipse times rather than rushing into decisions.

This particular Moon asks us to notice where we cling to patterns that no longer nourish us, and to courageously allow space for renewal. Like the fields after harvest, we too can rest, regenerate, and prepare for the seeds of new beginnings.

✨ Take a moment under this Moon—whether or not you see it in the sky—to breathe deeply, reflect, and ask: What am I ready to let go of? What am I ready to welcome in?

This Full Moon is not only illumination, but also initiation. 🌕

🌞 Summer Solstice Blessings 🌿

Today, as the sun reaches its peak, we celebrate the Summer Solstice—a time of light, abundance, and inner expansion. This longest day of the year invites us to pause, soak in the warmth, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

In many healing traditions, this is a time for renewal, clarity, and deep nourishment—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Just as nature is in full bloom, we too can align with this energy to support our own vitality and balance.

Take time today to breathe deeply, move gently, and rest under the sun’s golden light. Let the light outside awaken the light within. 🌻☀️

🌸 Happy Easter! 🌸
Spring is a time of renewal—a perfect opportunity to reset, refresh, and realign with your health and well-being.

This season invites us to shed old habits and step into greater balance. Thoughtful changes to our diet and lifestyle, cultivating postural awareness, and working with asana and breath can deepen inner connection, build strength, and foster resilience—something we all need in these ever-changing times.

And while you're spring cleaning your life, don't forget to make sure your End-of-Life paperwork is in order. It's one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones and yourself.

✨ Ready to make some meaningful shifts? I’m here to help. Give me a call.
