The Wolf Moon | January 3 2026.

This Full Moon in Cancer opens a tender, powerful threshold.

The Wolf Moon has always been linked to belonging, protection, and instinct —
not the loud kind of knowing,
but the quiet, ancient intelligence that lives in the body.

Under this Moon, emotions rise not to destabilise us,
but to tell the truth.

Cancer speaks to home, family, ancestry, and emotional safety.
Not the idea of home —
but the felt sense of where you soften.
Where your body exhales.
Where you no longer have to brace.

Opposite this Moon sits strong Capricorn energy — the structures, responsibilities, and lives many have been building through endurance alone.
This lunation holds the tension between what we feel and what we’ve carried,
between care and responsibility,
between survival and sustainability.

And it asks a different question:

✨ What if strength didn’t mean bracing?
✨ What if responsibility included care?

Under the Wolf Moon, you are called back to yourself.
To the part of you that knows how to listen in the dark.
To the instinct that doesn’t panic when the night stretches long,
because it trusts the ground beneath its feet.

This Moon does not ask you to rush.
It asks you to remember how to move by intuition instead of noise.
To trust the quiet signals rising from within.
To remember that strength is not always loud —
sometimes it is the steady breath that carries you forward, one step at a time.

There is courage available here — but it is a gentler courage.
One that no longer leads from old wounds, proving, or pressure,
but from self-trust.

Many are feeling a subtle re-orientation now…
away from holding it all together,
away from surviving at the expense of the self,
and toward protecting what truly matters.

The Wolf Moon honours those who endured.
Those who kept going when the road was unclear.
Those who learned how to survive —
and are now ready to live.

Like the wolf, you are both solitary and connected.
You walk your own path, yet you are never truly alone.

This is a Moon of:
• emotional maturity
• ancestral memory
• sacred loyalty
• redefining success so it includes the heart

Let this Moon illuminate:

🌕 Where have you grown strong enough to protect what truly matters?
🌕 Where does your inner world need care — not control — as we step into 2026?

This is not about doing more.
It is about choosing differently.
From the body.
From truth.
From safety.

You are guided.
You are guarded.
And you are exactly where you need to be.

✨ Wolf Moon Ritual
1. Create stillness
Find a quiet space. Light a candle or sit beneath the moon if possible. Take three slow, deep breaths.

2. Ground yourself
Place your feet firmly on the floor. Imagine roots growing from your soles deep into the Earth, anchoring you safely.

3. Reflect & release
Ask yourself: What no longer belongs in this new chapter?
Visualise these old energies dissolving under the moonlight.

4. Call back your power
Place a hand on your heart. Imagine your energy returning to you — whole, strong, and protected.

5. Set your intention
Decide how you wish to move through this year: with courage, discernment, and self-trust.

6. Close with gratitude
Thank the moon, the Earth, and yourself for this moment of alignment

🐺 Wolf Moon Affirmation
“I trust my instincts.
I honour my boundaries.
I walk forward protected, guided, and strong.
My energy is mine, and I use it wisely.”

*As we step into 2026 under this Wolf Moon,
I’m opening my work again for those who feel ready to choose differently.

I’m currently welcoming a small number of people into:
• The Sovereign Reset — a 6-week nervous system recalibration for those coming out of survival or long seasons of holding
• The Sovereign Woman Mentorship — a deeper, longer container for embodied leadership, regulation, and self-trust

I return to sessions from January 5.

If you’d like to explore working together, you can begin with a Leadership Ignition Call — a grounded conversation to feel into what’s aligned for you.

No urgency.
No pressure.
Just an honest invitation for those who feel the pull.***

**A small update for those who follow my work 🤍

Last year my original Instagram account was taken and couldn’t be recovered.
As a result, I’ve created a new account where I’m now sharing my current work, reflections, and nervous-system-led teachings.

This is the space where I’m posting more regularly in 2026 as I continue this next chapter of my work.

If you’re on Instagram and would like to stay connected there, I’d love to have you with me.

New Year Blessings ✨

This blessing asks the ancestors and the living earth to cradle you during the final days of the year, easing burdens that have settled in your body and rekindling warmth where your spirit has felt chilled. It also invites subtle, soul-level blessings, carried by moonlight, animal messengers, and the deep stillness of winter to arrive gently and support your renewal.

“May the last week of the year
be held by the ancestors and the earth, soften what’s been heavy in your bones, warm what’s been cold in your spirit, and bring quiet blessings carried by moonlight, owl wings, and the stillness of winter roots.”

🌑✨ DECEMBER 20, 2025 — NEW MOON | THE NIGHT GOES COMPLETELY DARK 🌌

Tonight, the sky turns inward.
The New Moon arrives, slipping perfectly between Earth and the Sun, leaving the night sky in its deepest, purest darkness. No moonlight. No silver glow. Just stars, silence, and space stretching endlessly above us. 🌑🌠

This is the kind of darkness the universe needs.
Without the Moon’s light, distant stars shine clearer, constellations sharpen, and the Milky Way reveals itself with quiet confidence. The sky becomes a blank canvas — waiting, open, full of unseen beginnings. 🌌✨

For thousands of years, people have honored nights like this as moments of reset. The New Moon doesn’t illuminate what already exists — it creates room for what’s about to begin. It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t always start in light. Sometimes it starts in stillness, in shadow, in places no one else can see yet. 🌱🖤

Tonight is not about watching something happen.
It’s about allowing space.
Space to release what has grown heavy.
Space to imagine what comes next.
Space to trust the quiet work happening beneath the surface.

Step outside if you can. Let your eyes adjust. Let the darkness feel complete, not empty. Above you, billions of stars continue burning, unchanged, patient — reminding us that even when the Moon disappears, the universe never does. 🌠🌌

🌑 Darkness is not absence.
✨ It is preparation.
And tonight, the sky invites you to begin again — quietly, honestly, and without fear.

Blessing for the Longest Night

“All throughout these months
as the shadows have lengthened,
this blessing has been gathering itself,
making ready, preparing for this night.

It has practiced walking in the dark,
traveling with its eyes closed,
feeling its way by memory by touch
by the pull of the moon even as it wanes.

So believe me when I tell you this blessing
will reach you even if you have not light enough to read it;
it will find you even though you cannot see it coming.

You will know the moment of its arriving by your
release of the breath you have held so long;
a loosening of the clenching in your hands,
of the clutch around your heart;
a thinning of the darkness that had drawn itself around you.

This blessing does not mean to take the night away
it knows its hidden roads,
knows the resting spots along the path,
knows what it means to travel in the company of a friend.

So when this blessing comes, take its hand.

Get up. Set out on the road you cannot see.

This is the night when you can trust that any direction you go,
you will be walking toward the dawn.”

✨ As Yule Approaches…

The longest night is almost here, and with it comes a sacred turning of the wheel. This is the moment when the darkness softens, the light stirs beneath the surface, and the earth whispers her promise of renewal.

Yule invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the quiet magic within your own spirit.

Let the candles you light be reminders of your inner flame… the part of you that never goes out, even in your darkest seasons.

Let the warmth you create in your home mirror the warmth you are learning to cultivate in your heart.

As the sun is reborn, may you feel yourself awakening too… releasing what’s grown heavy, reclaiming what feels sacred, and remembering that your story is far from over.

May this Yule bring peace to your spirit, protection to your path, and a spark of new life to everything you’re dreaming into existence. ✨🕯️🌲

Spreading the Light of Love and Kindness

May the light of love and kindness
touch every single heart
in this season of goodwill,
especially those who may need it most.

May it soften weary days,
brighten long and restless nights,
and warm the quiet places
where hope grows dim.

And as the new year arrives,
may that same gentle light
continue to shine within us,
around us,
and before us,
a steady blessing,
a guiding grace,
a promise of compassion
carried forward
into the coming year.

May it inspire gentle words,
kind actions, and open hearts,
so that the warmth we share
multiplies and spreads,
lighting the world
one tender moment at a time.

Why some hurt more in the winter, and also the bodyworker's busiest time of the year. To support this change there is a wonderful hot stone massage special (which most of you all know is my favorite all year long)🔥Fireside Vanilla and Stone Therapy🔥60 minutes of warmth and healing using FarmHouse Fresh Skincare Vanilla Bourbon oil that is so rich and hydrating that I am hooked on this brand now. $105 Bell Tower, Schedule now before we are all booked out 🙂

Winter shifts the body quietly, like a stranger in the night. Before we ever pull on a sweater or turn up the heat, the fascia has already begun to change because it responds to temperature and light. This living fabric that wraps every muscle, organ, bone, and vessel responds immediately to cold. Its gel-like matrix thickens. Its fluidity slows. The glide between layers becomes more resistant. None of this indicates that something is wrong. It is the body adapting to the season, doing precisely what it is designed to do.

Colder temperatures increase the viscosity of the extracellular matrix, making the tissue feel stiffer and less elastic. Circulation slows, resulting in the deeper layers receiving less warmth and hydration. Without this consistent fluid movement, adhesions become more pronounced, and muscles can develop a protective tone. What feels like “winter tightness” is simply fascia conserving heat, energy, and resources.

Hydration becomes one of the most important tools for keeping this system healthy. In winter, we naturally drink less because thirst cues decrease. Yet fascia depends on water to maintain its glide. Warm lemon water, herbal teas, nutrient-rich broths, berries, citrus, greens, and minerals such as magnesium and potassium all help the matrix regain its suppleness. When hydration returns, the tissue softens as though it can breathe again.

Movement is another essential winter medicine. Fascia thrives with gentle spirals, waves, bouncing, twisting, and multidirectional motion. Winter often pulls us into stillness, rounding our shoulders and shortening our breath. Even a few minutes of slow stretching, walking, shaking, or warm yoga sends hydration flowing back through the connective layers. Movement pumps fluid through the body’s inner landscape, much like irrigation.

Nutrition supports the fascia from the inside out. Collagen-rich foods, vitamin C, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, and deeply colored winter vegetables nourish the tissue at a cellular level. Bone broths, roasted roots, herbal stews, citrus salads, and warm grains help build resilience in both the fascia and the nervous system.

Emotionally, winter asks us to turn inward. Days shorten, breath lifts, posture curls, and the diaphragm grows more guarded. Fascia mirrors these internal shifts. Old emotions can surface more easily when the body contracts against the cold. Warmth becomes its own form of therapy. A heated blanket, a hot towel before a session, warm stones, or a magnesium bath at home soften the matrix and calm the autonomic system. The body responds to heat the way snow responds to sunlight.

This is also why winter bodywork feels especially profound. Slow myofascial spreading, warm oil, diaphragmatic release, visceral work, craniosacral stillness, and grounding hands give the tissues what they struggle to generate on their own. The nervous system transitions from a state of guarded vigilance into a deeper state of rest. Breath widens. Muscles unclench. The emotional weight of the season begins to loosen its grip.

Winter fascia is not fragile. It is simply more responsive to the environment. It asks for warmth, hydration, nourishment, and movement. When these are offered, the tissue that once felt dense becomes fluid again. Breathing becomes easier. Posture unfolds. Emotions settle. The entire system adapts with quiet, almost effortless grace.

Winter invites us to listen to our bodies with more care, not because they are struggling, but because they are evolving. And when we support this evolution with understanding and presence, fascia begins to glow with the same calm resilience that winter offers the world.
