Healing & Transformation

Listening to and trusting my body has been one of the most transformative shifts of my healing journey. And truthfully, life continues to invite me deeper into this trust. I’m standing in one of those invitations right now, a moment of integration, of listening more closely, of responding more honestly. I know I’m not alone in this. Reconnecting with the body is a cornerstone of my healing framework. Learning to listen to it, converse with it, respect its rhythms, and respond

While every human has both the masculine and the feminine, and both are equally important to our well-being, there is something magical about the feminine nature that is so often overlooked or neglected in our modern society. Because we are fueled by a “get-more-done” mindset, constantly on a mission to achieve more, do more, get more, the masculine energy is fed more than the feminine, leaving many of us feeling empty, depleted, and exhausted. The energy of the feminine embo

One of the most frustrating aspects of personal growth and change is when we see viable solutions, but somehow we can’t seem to action them. We are often left feeling frustrated, aggravated, depressed or stuck, amongst other emotions.  Yes, change is hard. Most of us set goals for ourselves in the new year and then give up. Maybe you did take some action, but at some point, you found yourself exhausted and in resistance to any sort of forward movement. In this article I’d lik

We have at our doorstep, yet another transitional point in our calendar year, one marked with crispy mornings, longer nights, erratic weather, mirrored in our body and mind as a feeling of dryness in our senses, fragility in our joints, restlessness in our body and anxiety in our mind. Just as Nature is slowly preparing for the colder, darker months ahead, so too are we invited to prepare our mind, body and senses to welcome and honor this next phase in Her cycle. Autumn is,

Emotions are powerful forces in our lives. They are the drivers of the actions we take, and can either contribute to our own healing or suffering. The better we are at regulating and processing our emotions, the more control we have over the decisions we make, and the more likely we are to achieve and attract the things we truly want into our lives.  So why is it important to understand, regulate and process your emotions? Let’s explore through a yogic lens.   The Body-Mind C

Transitions There’s that moment when winter transitions to spring where hope blooms. All that was covered by snow is suddenly revealed: bare trees, muddy lawns, and leaves from last fall. It isn’t pretty. However, it is brief. If you look closely you’ll see the hope of spring in the crocuses that pop up from the ground next to a thawing chunk of snow. If you listen you’ll hear the sweet song of cardinals and chickadees welcoming the dawn of a new day, along with our infamous

Do you feel the shift?  The shy sun rays rising later on the horizon, the slight shimmer of golden hues appearing on the tip of leaves, the sweater that comes out to embrace us on cooler nights, the crickets adding a serene soundscape to quieter nights… Yes, fall is coming. Nature has always fascinated me. In her beautiful cycles and rhythms, she is our most powerful teacher and reminds us that Life is a never-ending cycle of death and rebirth. She teaches us about strength,

Winter is the chrysalis stage in our personal revolution. Just like the development stages of a butterfly, we are in a phase of the year that invites us to wrap ourselves up in a warm blanket and rest in the dark and silence of our cocoon. We’ve gone from the active yang energy of the summer, to the erratic energy of autumn and now we get to rest and recharge in the slower yin energy of winter - where stillness and silence bring us into deeper states of presence and peace. Ye

There is something so magical and peaceful about getting up before the sunrise, before most people are awake, listening to the birds sing their melody, and having that dedicated ‘me’ time. Throughout most of my adult life, I’ve been a morning person and attribute most, if not all, of my health to my morning practices and rituals.  And while I was going through some tough times in my 20s, I found so much healing and solace in the early hours of the mornings.  My mornings are l

They are the times when everything you thought you knew starts to come crumbling down. We come face to face with reality that everything is constantly changing – including you.  And for some reason, we choose to resist this fundamental law of nature. And we suffer for we want to attach ourselves to so many things that make us feel safe and in the “known” – identities, roles, status, material possessions, relationships etc.  And yet, life will try to nudge (or shove) you into

Who do I need to be in order to create what I want? For me, it’s someone who is self-assured, confident, trusting, patient and devoted. Definitely not someone who tries to control every situation, worried about what others will think, planning every single move, and getting stressed about the details.  Life has led me down a path of devotion, trust and surrender, into a deeper attunement, reverence and honoring  of the wisdom of my body temple. Between feeling the full spectr
