My kids are raised in a home where they are taught breathing techniques for self regulation

Where we use affirmations, singing Bowls, crystals & energy work as our form of healing practices

They are taught about high vibrational foods & plant medicine.

We acknowledge them as the tiny humans they are. They are allowed to make mistakes, have bad days & are not punished or expected to have emotional regulation skills outside of the scope of their ability or beyond what most adults are capable of.

Their feelings are heard. We try to allow space for them to make their own decisions so they feel acknowledged and empowered.

But most importantly....we practice rigorous self-honesty & radical accountability for our own trauma & continuous process of healing so that we do not project our own pain & suffering onto them, to the best of our ability.

Which has started with the awareness, admission, accountability and self-forgiveness for the ways in which we already have.

For example (and I've heard many other moms make this same claim), I used to be the mom that said "I just don't get on the ground & play with my kids. I'm just not THAT mom. I'll take them places but I just am not going to sit on the ground and play barbies. It's just not my thing." That was my language.

But the truth is- that was the language of a still hurting and broken inner child whose own mother never played with her.

Whose childhood memories were much more dark & traumatic.

I had to look at the reasons why playing with my own children felt not only uncomfortable but completely unnatural. I had to go back and address the pain i felt as a child when i was forced to take on the "mothering" & adult role at an early age and lost my own ability to play.

And then I had to take this information, this pain & I had to do different.

So now I get down on the ground as often as I can (to the best of my ability) & am learning how to play again myself.

Allowing any pain & wounds to surface so it can be addressed. Healing ME to prevent them from having a childhood they have to heal from later.

That is the process of alchemy & transmutation

When we know better, we must do better.

This.....is what healing and breaking cycles of generational trauma looks like.

On this day- my daughter was watching me. She was watching me love myself. She was watching me being free. She was watching her mom dance, smile and express herself. She was watching her mom in the moment, in the flow of life and in love with herself & everything around her. And on this day- I saw freedom and joy in her like I've never seen before.

You may look at me and see a liberated woman but you have no idea of the journey of pain, suffering and the transmutation it took to get here.

You know what I never saw growing up? I NEVER saw my own mom love herself. Instead I saw deep seeded self-hatred and self-loathing. I watched as she angrily opposed ever having a photo or video taken of herself because she could not bear to look at herself. I saw the sadness in her eyes all her life. I saw an angry, broken, hurting woman who never knew how to help herself. I grew up in a household with constant yelling as a form of expression. And I watched her medicate herself with a bottle until the day she died.

Do you think it is just a coincidence that I grew into a child with extreme body image and addiction issues? I carried these patterns long into early adulthood. Even after I put down drugs and alcohol at the age of 23, I struggled long after with body dysmorphia, a horribly toxic pattern of disordered eating and the inability to love myself on deep levels. Society then went on to mold me and condition this belief system even further with the unrealistic standards of beauty shoved down every woman's throat on billboards, magazine covers, television, etc that if you aren't a certain size or do not look a certain way- you aren't' worthy. But, it was with my mom, in the place where I was supposed to be loved and nurtured - that the seeds were planted.

I CHOOSE FOR IT TO END WITH ME.

I chose to plant new seeds and water them daily until the beauty blossomed into my reality. And the picture you see above is me (and my daughters) harvesting some of the fruit of that labor. It will always be an ongoing journey of evolution and self-liberation. There will always be new things that rise to the surface asking to be healed.

So how do you heal? First I made the conscious choice to do the work necessary and to not stop doing it until I see the change. If you want to heal your family, your ancestry or even the world-then first you must eliminate that which is dark within yourself. The greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-awareness and self-transformation.

Healing for me is not just self-reiki sessions, crystals or ritual baths. Healing is consistently inquiring within the deepest parts of myself. Observing my thoughts, belief systems, impulses and behaviors and making adjustments where necessary. I find those places begging to be loved and held, and I hold them. Consciously replacing and innner voice that used to break me down with words of kindness and compassion. I allow myself to consciously release pain and trauma stored through the cleansing system that are my own tears. I allow myself to be vulnerable. I shine light and love into the darkest places because that is where it is most needed. It is the light- that drives out the darkness.

I find the ways in which these traumas express themselves in my life and I actively work to alter those patterns. In this case the "mother wound" which shows up as deeply rooted belief systems that make a child feel unlovable, unworthy and fearful of expressing themselves. Awareness must come first. On our most fundamental level we come from pure love and light.....anything other than that is a transmission of negative/dark energy, fallen consciousness and distorted belief systems and is not truth. This is why- truth shall set you free.

So...when you see me in this state of flow, expressing my femininity and actively working on loving myself deeply- there was a time when I couldn't even look in the mirror either.

Healing is possible. We do not have to hand down sentences of pain and trauma to our children, to the best of our ability.

They are watching, always.

My daughters are watching and deserve a mommy that is healing

They deserve a mommy that is capable of giving and receiving love and believe me.....it had to start with myself.

You wouldn't believe how often I hear this. Healing is a process and will always be an ongoing journey. You have to trust that process and know your body needs time to undo the damages done. Even small steps in the right direction are better than no steps at all. If you'd like some guidance on where to begin on your own journey of healing im happy to help

"We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has to go through to achieve that beauty."

This weekend I went to a healing retreat in Great Valley, NY out in nature- completely unplugged, away from society and all distractions where I could focus solely on deep, raw healing. It takes deep unrelenting courage and strength to do this level of healing work but I truly believe it is part of my purpose on earth in order to liberate others to be free.

My intention was simple, yet all encompassing of my goals. "To heal from anything within that no longer serves me and holds me a part from being the fullest, most expanded version of myself." I set that intention & went in with a very open and eager heart- holding space for whatever transpired.

I could never have fathomed what was to come.

I was broke open raw. So many deep wounds and emotions rose to the surface that I didn't even know were there wanting to be seen, acknowledged and released. I have done so much conscious healing work but we shed trauma and emotions in layers- and once one is shed there are always more to be found. Healing work is a continual process. I truly believe I died a deep spiritual death there creating the space to be rebirthed in a new beautiful way. For 3 days everyone there "held" each other in a sacred container of healing. We witnessed one another in ways I have never experienced. Held each other while we sobbed. Poured out unconditional love and empathy for one another. Magnified the healing intentions for each other. The soul connections we created there are what I have always longed for. And what happened there was nothing short of divinely led and miraculous.

I am coming back and integrating myself as an entirely new person in this body. I gave myself grace and love as I sobbed for days- gently and lovingly releasing these emotions asking for love and to be witnessed. My heart space expanded to inconceivable levels as I have never felt this much unconditional love pouring out of me.

A piece of my soul will forever remain at & with everyone present this weekend at

Know thyself 🌈✨

On our most fundamental level we are made of energy. There are 7 main energy centers called “chakras” that govern every aspect of our life and well being. When there are blockages in the flow of energy it can express itself in a multitude of emotional, spiritual and eventually physical issues corresponding directly to each chakra.

Reiki works to rebalance and restore the flow of energy to each of these centers and ultimately to your life. When these chakras are unblocked and energy is flowing freely harmony exists between the physical body, mind, and spirit.

This Lions Gate portal has been WILD for me. Even though we are beyond 8/8 there are still waves of high vibrational energy pouring in. Our bodies are not used to such high energy and our bodies have to learn how to adapt. Along with adapting- the high frequencies are pushing out lower vibrational energy and therefore you can be experiencing detoxing symptoms as well

These include but are not limited to digestive issues, headaches, extreme exhaustion, head and sinus pressure, rashes, disorientation and confusion. Self-care has been a must for me over the past few days

A few of the things I have been doing:

1. Lots and lots of water and amping up on vitamins and minerals. This helps your body naturally flush and detox

2. Grounding. Planting your feet on the earth’s surface to allow its natural flow of electrons heal you

3. Using tree oils. The same as way planting your feet on the earth helps with grounding. Using tree oils does the same. Trees come from deep within the earth and applying those to your skin brings those same properties directly into your physical body/your energetic body. Because the cells of plants are so similar in structure (almost identical) to human cells - our bodies know exactly what to do with them and how to use them. Oils have hundreds of healing properties-emotionally, physically & spiritually. I like Vetiver also as it has sedative properties and is extremely soothing on the central nervous system

4. Reiki- I did a full blown self-reiki session on myself today and feel completely rebalanced and energized

I had this incredible revelation on long country drive the other day. I need to share.

Before taking that drive- I had an energy healing session by my beautiful friend Stephanie Krebs. On my way out there I cried. I haven’t cried in a very long time (for me). I actually couldn’t remember the last time I cried before that. It’s probably been a few months which was a big realization for me. Crying is good. Crying is healing. Crying is a release of energy and a result of processing emotions. I just need to state that but here’s the important part: This showed me two very significant things.

The first: While crying is good, crying over everything, all of the time- is a sign of unprocessed emotions, stored pain or trauma, stuck energy. How I know this is because this used to be me. Crying when I was frustrated, crying when I was angry, crying during any argument (even healthy ones) , crying when trying to express myself or my emotions. And the revelation is that that is no longer me. I can think and express myself with calmness and clarity. I can identify and embrace each unique emotion. I no longer hold all of this overwhelming pain that comes out at in opportune times

But THIS is what energy work & spiritual healing have looked like for me. In my own life. That is the kind of healing I’ve done. And that is the kind of healing I want to give to others. And this is just one SMALL fraction of what energy work/spiritual healing can look like expressed in day to day life.

Though my practice is fundamentally based on Reiki - I am a spiritual healer and utilize advanced energy practices. Some of which include Shamanic healing, light ray energy & a variety of practices that i work with intuitively and channel as I go. Reach out if you need a healing 🙏🏼🫶
