Someone I hope to work with someday (though ultimately I was honoring myself in knowing now isn’t the time to add stuff on to my ever increasing schedule).

Crystals, Oils & E-Books Oh My!
I frequently find myself saying “my job is weird.” Because it is. I am a crystal healer, yoga teacher, reiki master, oil lover, business owner of multiple businesses and much more. Often times, I hear people complain and talk about their dislike for their job, while I sit quietly in the corner thinking of how […]
Modern Hippie Muse: Listen to the Whispers
One of my students recently said “I can’t hear my body the way you do. I don’t know when I’m about to get my period, have no idea if I’m getting sick and definitely don’t know if there is any trauma inside of me.” Stop the press. Ladies. Gentlemen. We need to talk. The number […]

Empower, Renew, Restore
It has been over six months since my last blog post. Let that sink in for just a moment. I’m a writer, who has had not only the world’s worst writer’s block, but also a lot of emotional turmoil and vinyasa waves happening in my world. I love to live parts of my life online. […]
