Inspire Studio

I am so thankful that our full moon sacred cacao & sound healing Journey Sunday went so well. It was awesome working with Candace Blair and I felt that both our co facilitating and playing the sound healing instruments together was so seamless and look forward to working with her again in the future! It also felt really good that she commented twice that I was so organized! I don’t usually consider myself that way, but I’ve been doing this work so long, it’s nice to hear that I’ve gotten the prices down to a bit of a science! Also big thanks to Saralee Sky for hosting us!

I just found out last Friday about my best friend I met in art class in high school, my soul sister left this earthly plane. It’s shocked us all and is just so sad.
I’m sending so much love to her family, plus a little bit of hope… I asked her for a sign, to tell me she’s Ok and I kid you not, but a swallowtail butterfly has flown right by me 4 days in a row, today my son was with me and even he recognized the magic of it. If any creature could hold some of the beauty and enchantment of Linda, it’d be a butterfly!!

Speaking of creativity, as I prepare for my Restorative Yoga & Sound Healing Workshop this Sunday, I reflect on the evolution of this event. So many people I've talked to enjoy long sound baths, but find it hard to lie down comfortably for much more than 45 minutes. I've found that an hour of restor...

The Gongs putting the Cosmic in this Sunday's Fall Equinox Sound Healing Event! Though I've loved gongs for ages, I actually have my friend, Wayne Marto of Beneficial Sound from Seattle to thank for sparking my passion for Planetary Gongs! I met him probably about five years ago at my dear Kundalini Yoga teacher, Sada Simran's amazing winter Solstice Sound Healing event. It was...

One Of my favorite parts about the kundalini yoga ladies camp in Canada is that it’s a 7 minute drive from this waterfall, Cascade falls.
This was my third year going, and I swear, it gets better every year. I come back with a refresh new perspective of what really matters. 💙❤️

I’m so looking forward to my New Moon Gong Bath at Fairhaven Park tomorrow. I’ve been wishing for a way to legally do stuff at our amazing local parks for years and am so thankful for there willingness to work with me. This will be my second event of the summer there. It was so special after the Solstice one to hear from people who’d never been to an outdoor sound bath before. The birds and other sounds really became part of the experience. The other special part is that my friend Sara comes to help hold the space and work the energy so people feel more grounded and peaceful when they leave. We’re still have 10 spots left. Hope to see you there! You can find the sign up link via my website in my bio!

Went on a great walk with friends to the Heron Rookery by Marine park. I’ve never seen the herons so active before. It was definitely their nest repair day, we think before the tide was high. I’m so thankful I have friends with such a love for art, wildlife, and nature!

It’s almost hard to believe I birthed my sweet Orin into the world 7 years ago today. I just had my annual physical exam with my midwife Winni yesterday and it brought so many memories back. I’m still so thankful I was able to have a water birth at home 💜.
