My Birth Story

This wasn’t the picture I thought we’d have minutes after our sweet girl landed Earthside. I thought she’d make her entry into her new world in the water, in the comfort of her dimly-lit new home. Not being pulled from an incision in my body by a stranger’s gloved hands in a bright, sterile environment. I’d read the books and did the research about physiological birth. I understood the physical mechanics and the energetic components, and I deeply trusted in the wisdom of my body. Millions of women had given birth without medical intervention, so surely I could, too. Right? Apparently not. I’v ..read more

There's a lot of conflicting information out there about whether or not breathwork is safe during pregnancy, and for good reason! It's not an easy question to answer and is dependent on many different factors. The reality is, you know what's best for you, your body, and your baby. So in this video I share things to consider to help yourself decide whether practicing breathwork while pregnant is right for you or not. It’s a topic I’m incredibly passionate about, because as a pregnant woman myself I was wondering how breathwork would continue to fit into my self care routine during pregnancy, if ..read more

Pregnancy Vlog: 30 Week Update!

It’s been awhile since my last pregnancy update (my last one was around 18 weeks, which you can check out here if you so desire!), so I figured I should sit my butt in front of a camera and document some of what’s been going on during this wild time in my life. At the time of writing this, I’m actually almost 35 weeks, which means I filmed this video about a month ago. It’s a pretty accurate description of how a lot of my life has gone in the third trimester: start doing something and then finish it waaaay later than anticipated ? These vlogs are really an opportunity for me to have something ..read more

A Word on Boundaries

Since August of last year, the lessons and opportunities for growth have been comin’ in hot. I get a break every now and then, but between mustering up the courage to make a big change in both of my businesses, navigating an unexpected pregnancy, and all the other little lessons the Universe likes to drop in, it’s been fairly constant. The other day, Jordan lovingly pointed out that I seem to be knee-deep in Module 32 of Earth School, which is all about boundaries. Boundaries in my work life, boundaries in my personal life, boundaries in social media, boundaries in the types of energy I allow ..read more

In the last 3 years, breathwork has completely transformed my life. A ballsy claim, I know. But one I'm confident in making. In this video, I share how breathwork supported me in my physical, emotional, and spiritual healing journey in the deepest way possible. Let me be clear that I'm not claiming breathwork can do these things for you. Maybe your gateway to transformation is another practice, another modality, another way of connecting to yourself.

Nervous system dysregu-what?! Nervous system health is a super trendy topic right now, which is GREAT because the nervous system literally governs every aspect of our experience. Your hormones, your motivation, your zest for life, your ability to withstand stress….you name it, the nervous system is in charge of it. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients over the years dealing with a number of symptoms, from digestive issues to feeling constantly frantic to feeling unable to get up and at ‘em for the day. Many times, nervous system dysregulation is at the root of these symptoms. The tricky thing ..read more

Well….this is a post I never thought I’d be writing! At this time, March 6 2021, I’m currently just shy of 22 weeks pregnant ? For someone who never had any intention of having children, this is a weird thing to find myself creating content about…but here we are! And while pregnancy and birth technically have nothing to do with my work, my brand, or anything like that, it’s currently a big part of ME, and it’s a big part of my life I’ve wanted to document and be able to look back on. At first, I hesitated talking about my pregnancy on social media. I mean, I already talk about breathwork, busi ..read more

Feel like you've been getting dragged through a pile of dog shit lately? If so, you're not alone.⁠ Collectively, we're going through an upheaval. An initiation. The world as we know it is crumbling, making space for new ways of being and doing.⁠ ...eventually ? On an individual level, the shit we've been avoiding is being thrown in our faces.
