Lately, grief has been a common theme I’ve been witnessing …in sessions, in conversations, and in my own body. And with everything going on right now, I see why.

Not only grief from losing people, but grief from losing stability, hope, and the future we thought we were moving toward.

When things feel heavy, the body feels it first.

Grief doesn’t always show up as tears. It often shows up as tension, shallow breathing, fatigue, anxiety, or numbness.

Many of the reactions people are experiencing right now
aren’t personal failures. They’re nervous system responses to prolonged stress and uncertainty.

Loss changes the way we breathe. It changes posture.
It changes how safe the body feels. Being mindful doesn’t mean fixing or bypassing what’s present. It means noticing it without judgment.

You’re allowed to grieve…a person, a pet, a season, a sense of certainty, or a version of life you hoped for.

Naming the emotion doesn’t make it heavier. It often gives it somewhere to go. 🤍

The body always tells the truth eventually. I’ve watched this pattern repeat in hundreds of bodies and lived it in my own.
We don’t break down because we’re weak. We break down because we’ve been carrying too much, too quietly, for too long.

Alchemy initiates you.

Not by force. Not by fixing. Not by rushing the body to “heal.”

Alchemy asks something quieter, and much harder:
Can you stay with what’s arising without trying to make it different?

This is the courage to sit in the fire while the nervous system finds its own rhythm. Allowing yourself to feel in a world that celebrates numbing and bypassing.

To trust that clarity comes from presence…not pressure.

In my work, transformation moves through layers:

The physical - where the body holds what couldn’t be processed at the time.
The emotional - what the pain has been protecting.
The energetic / ancestral - the patterns that didn’t start with you, but live through you.

My work is not meant to save people.
My work is meant to initiate them.

Happy Winter Solstice. // In a culture that pushes New Year, New Me, this season asks for stillness, rest, and seed-planting…not action, not pressure, not becoming.

Some truths need darkness before they can grow. 🌑

The upper shoulders are one of the first places the nervous system contracts when you’re overwhelmed.
Not because you’re weak.
Not because you’re “blocked.”
But because your body is protecting you.

When your system senses too much—emotionally, mentally, or energetically—it creates physical stability.
Your shoulders lift.
Your breath shortens.
Your muscles brace.
And most people don’t even realize they’re doing it.

This zone is your body’s built-in “tension shield.”

It activates when you’re holding:
• too many responsibilities
• other people’s emotions
• pressure to perform or keep everything together
• fear of letting someone down
• the silent weight of trying to be “enough” for everyone

And the deeper emotional patterns often show up differently on each side:

Left Shoulder (Feminine): emotional caretaking, mother wounds, over-giving, carrying relationships
Right Shoulder (Masculine): work stress, pressure to prove your worth, perfectionism, performance energy

This isn’t “just muscle tightness.”
It’s responsibility stored in the fascia.
It’s the body saying:

“I’m holding too much.”
“If I stop, everything will fall apart.”
“Everyone needs me… but who supports me?”

Your shoulders respond exactly how the body was designed to respond.
They tighten to keep you alert, stable, and in control.

But here’s the part people never learned:
They don’t know how to relax again without your help.

To soften this pattern, try:
• Letting your shoulders drop away from your ears
• Exhaling through the mouth — slow and steady
• Imagining your upper back widening
• Giving your body permission to not hold everything at once

Flow returns when your system feels safe again.
Your shoulders aren’t failing you.
They’re asking for space, warmth, breath, and support.

And when someone finally works this area with intention, the release isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, energetic, ancestral.

If your shoulders have been carrying too much lately…
you’re not alone.
Your body just needs a moment to remember it doesn’t have to hold the world by itself.

Your lymphatic system doesn’t move on its own. It relies on warmth, touch, heat, and herbal medicine to help the body shift what it’s been holding.

Topical herbs are powerful because the lymphatic network sits just beneath the skin. When applied with heat or massage, botanicals can:
➳ decongest stagnant fluid
➳ encourage drainage in swollen or puffy areas
➳ stimulate local lymph nodes
➳ increase circulation to sluggish tissues
➳ soften fascia that’s holding tension or inflammation

This is why herbal oils, poultices, steams, and warm compresses have been used for centuries in folk medicine and somatic therapies. They don’t force the body. They remind it how to move again.

How to use topical herbs for lymphatic support:

- Apply warm oil along the neck, jaw, chest, abdomen, or groin (major lymph hubs)
- Pair with gentle massage or dry brushing
- Use after a shower, sauna, or steam to amplify circulation
- Apply consistently. The lymphatic system responds to rhythm, not intensity

Topical medicine works because the body isn’t separate from the skin. Everything is connected …fluid, fascia, emotion, movement, memory.

The right botanicals simply help the body remember its own flow. 🌀

It’s been a little over a month since I closed my studio… and honestly, I didn’t think the pivot would feel this good.

I knew I was going to rebrand butttt I didn’t expect to change my entire business model. But that’s the thing about alignment: it doesn’t always ask for permission. Sometimes it just redirects you.

When people ask how I’m liking the mobile experience…
I love it. And I never expected to.

I was completely against mobile work for years.
But bringing the Gaja Bohème experience directly into someone’s home…transforming their space into a sanctuary…has opened something new in me.

A softness. A freedom. A deeper level of presence.

This season is teaching me the power of pivoting, surrendering, and trusting where my work wants to go.

And right now… it’s meeting people exactly where they are.
Literally and energetically. ✨

Gaja Bohème has evolved. Not into something new, but into what it was always meant to be.

This season marks the beginning of a deeper chapter:
somatics, spirit, and ritual alchemy woven into one transformational path. Body. Energy. Ancestry. Integration. All in the same experience. All in the same field.

You can now book these experiences in select partnering locations or in the comfort of your home for those who want the full retreat brought to them.

If you’ve been craving work that goes beyond “relaxation”…
If your body has been asking for release, remembering, or reset…If you’ve been feeling the pull back to yourself -
this is where the next chapter begins.

Welcome to the Gaja Bohème Experiences. Where your healing meets its depth.
