When I first started this newsletter, it was a way for for me to stay connected to you from a heart-centered place in the digital landscape. It has become a weekly ritual for me to sit down, reflect and write to you

On Saturday, Feb 10, we celebrated the Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, marking the transition of energy from the Yin Water Rabbit of 2023 to the Yang Wood Dragon of 2024.

Sometimes, when I’m working on a project and it feels mostly done, I’ll ask my husband to take a look at it. He knows to ask me if I want his opinion or feedback, because sometimes I say no. Even without feedback, the experience of having my work be seen gives me guidance. It shapes my work.

Life organizes around systems, so when we want to make a change, we risk disrupting a system.

During the weekend training, we started out with a focus on the physical.

My little family slowed down this weekend and went to a getaway cabin. With our basic needs met, we stashed our phones away in a box, and enjoyed the mini-detox from daily life.

In my younger years, I struggled with self acceptance. I spent countless hours privately critiquing everything about myself (especially my physical form). My New Years' resolutions were pretty typical: exercise more, improve myself somehow, probably try a diet.

Every year around this time, I take time off to see family. Most of my business is centered around showing up in person, and as a result, I find it hard to pull away.

Our relationship to fear can be very helpful, but sometimes in subtle (or not so subtle) ways, it may keep us from what we seek.

When we first bought our home, I focused on all of the repairs and improvements it needed. Even after the major projects were complete, my critical mind continued to find countless things to improve.

Life update: We bought a house and moved in this week. It's a milestone for us, filled with excitement and a multitude of emotions. While it's something we've desired for a long time…

Gratitude journals may seem cliché in today's world, often used as a marketing ploy by card companies and businesses. However, they still hold inherent value as simple yet effective prompts for genuine reflection on what one is grateful for.

This weekend brought a familiar yet unwelcome visitor: illness, for the second time in as many weeks. It was a reminder that nature doesn’t operate on a fairness system; viruses don't adhere to a 'punch card' system of sickness.

This weekend, a cold struck me down, leading to a rare pause in my usually bustling schedule. I had planned on a weekend crammed with fun social events, yet I found myself confined, cancelling everything to avoid spreading illness. This unexpected break stirred up familiar feelings

This past week was emotionally charged, filled with interpersonal challenges, parenting challenges, highs and lows.

When I first moved to Austin, it felt a little less hard thanks to my zoom class with Yoga Soup. We have continued virtually now for two years, and collected additional friends around the country. Your faces and our shared practice have been a constant source of joy in my life. But as I have begun to build my home in Texas, I feel that it is time to streamline my offerings all into one place.

I don't know about you, but my Instagram feed is a blend of wellness influencers, biohackers, curious history accounts, and anatomy lessons. So, naturally, I'm constantly bombarded with the latest trends in nervous system regulation, health optimization, supplements, and more. A client recently asked

This week (like most weeks), I experienced the profound privilege of safety. I could pause from the news and take a deep breath of fresh air, hold my child close, fall asleep in a cozy bed. My heart aches for those who can’t share these comforts. There are so many.

On Friday, while out to dinner, I got upset with my husband. We started engaging in an old cycle and all sorts of old feelings came up for me. As we approached the edge of our anger cliffs, about to fall into a fight,

On Saturday, we officially welcomed the start of Autumn, the Metal element in Chinese medicine. This time of year invites us to peer into the darker corners, exploring where we can refine and release.
