What is the fundamental nature of the soul? Sat-cit-ananda ✨

What does that mean? 🤔
“Sat means eternal, cit means full of knowledge, and ānanda means bliss, full of jubilation, pleasure. This is our constitution. This is God's constitution. This our constitution. The difference between God and ourself is that God never accepts this material body, but sometimes we, under certain circumstances, we have to accept this material body. But never mind. We have accepted this material body. We can get out of it. And the process for getting out of it is [God] consciousness."

—A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

after 20 years of down dogs, my heels still don’t touch the ground - and i’m finally okay with that.

this once very difficult pose has, however, turned from a pose i D R E A D, into a pose i crave, and is now a very restful, relaxing place for me to decompress in.🕊️🤤✌️

my current mantra:
practice makes progress, & perfection doesn’t exist.
practice makes progress, & perfection doesn’t exist.
practice makes progress, & perfection doesn’t exist.

okay, a little more… 🤓
this is a recurring theme in my coaching practice (and in my personal life) - encouraging my clients to trust themselves, and helping them realize they are T R U S T W O R T H Y .

this is so important to self growth & transitional phases of life. building (or rebuilding) your own compass, and recognizing that YOU have the answers you seek ✨within you✨

by quieting the mind, you’ll naturally begin to turn up the volume on the intuition 📿🧘🏽‍♀️🔊

happy wednesday, fam 🍂🤎🫶

Say goodbye to downward spirals, obtrusive thoughts, & negative self talk, and say hello to F R E E D O M 🕊️🕊️🕊️

HOW??
With a daily meditation practice.

A daily meditation practice turns your mind from your worst enemy into your best friend 👯‍♀️💕

WHY??
Because YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS. And you are not even your mind! Your mind is a TOOL you have to help you navigate your life. You just have to learn how to use it 🤓

SO WHAT DO I DO??
Sit down and focus on one single thing (like the breath or a mantra) for a few minutes EVERY day. Start small (5 minutes), and gradually work your way up to a longer sit time as you start to feel more comfortable. This will begin to allow you to harness the reigns on that crazy mind, and start to steer it in the right direction. With practice, controlling your mind will become second nature, and you’ll finally be able to reap the benefits of that incredibly powerful bio-machine. 🦾🦾

WHEN??
Today!!!!!

WHERE??
Anywhere!!!!!

Have more questions?
DM me for additional info, tips & tricks. 🤍.

Coming to you this Monday morning to remind you how *special* you are…
And that YOU, my darling— YOU matter.
After all, there’s only one of you in the whole wide world! ☝🏼🌎✨
So don’t waste a single second trying to be like anyone else 💫🌟😘

Do you suffer from headaches? Tension in your neck and shoulders? The occasional migraine even? Yeah, me too… 🤕

Massage therapy is the best tool I’ve found for relieving the stress of life that accumulates in and around our head, due to all that mental chatter. 🙇🏻‍♀️

By physically manipulating the muscles and tissues on the head, neck & shoulders, and in conjunction with deep breathing, we can quite literally put down the weight of the world and feel instant relief. 💆🏽😮‍💨✨

Don’t believe me? Come try it for yourself 😘

If you're ready for some serious cleansing and spiritual growth, DM me for more info on how to get started.

Thank you to the most amazing clients for your trust in taking this journey with me! 🤍🙏✨

Vedic astrology has become a s t r o n g resource in my personal life, and a growing pillar of my coaching practice. 🪐💫

Learning about my Vedic astrology chart has helped me SO much with navigating the ups and downs of life, and seeing the bigger picture. But mainly, it’s taught me that I AM NOT THE CONTROLLER...
…a super hard pill for me to swallow, but one that’s been equally as liberating to begin to accept. 🕊

As I’ve started to dig into this science, I’ve had a lot of fun reading my friend’s charts and sharing with them any insights I see 👀🤲✨

Are you interested in learning about your Vedic chart? I’d love to practice on you!
DM me to set up a free (basic 😉) reading.

I’ve been practicing the art of falling, of getting back up, and of finding steadiness— over, and over, and over again…

…and slowly learning to appreciate the beauty of each repeating phase.

Enjoy the ride. 🪷🤙🏼🤍✨

Sometimes when I work on people, I like to look at them through my hands instead of through my eyes….
know whadda mean? ✨✋👁🤚✨

Creativity is the highest form of intelligence. ✨

Big giant shout out to my main girl, my godsister, my #1 bestie for adorning my studio room with her beautiful art that creates the perfect mood for the space. 💞🙏

Another piece coming soon… Stay tuned 🐍

Do you have difficulty containing or controlling your emotions? 😵‍💫

Did you know that you can use your breath as a springboard to reign in on those feels? 🌬🏇

⬆️ Speed up your breath to increase energy levels or combat feelings of depression.

⬇️ Slow down your breath to calm down and stave off feelings of anger or anxiety.

Use all your tools, fam! Practice makes progress. 🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🧘🏻‍♂️

It is through the alignment of my body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence.
- B. K. S. Iyengar 🙏✨

Anyone else needing to hear this today, or is it just me? 😵‍💫🧘🏽‍♀️📿☮️

No two Somatic Therapists are alike! Here’s what you can expect in a session with me:

My Somatic Therapy sessions begin with a brief discussion in which we identify the major current issues you’re facing, as well as any past struggles that still weigh heavy on your head and heart. Additionally, we identify areas of your body that are storing physical tension, and together we draw connections between your physical discomforts and your mental and emotional state.

After our discussion, you'll receive a 60 minute bodywork session in which we’ll use a combination of massage, meditation, and deep breathing to move you out of the fight/flight/freeze response, and into a higher-functioning mode where you can comfortably feel more present in your body. Through developing awareness of the mind-body connection and using specific, slow and intentional bodywork techniques, somatic therapy will help you to reset your nervous system and release the tension, anger, grief, and/or other emotions that remain in your body from past negative experiences. 

You may experience emotional and/or physical sensations arise during or after our somatic therapy session as a result of the treatment.

PSA: Today is a new moon! 🌑✨ If you’re wondering why that matters, keep reading…

Have you ever noticed how much our energy levels and emotional states are influenced by the moon?

Just as the ocean’s tides are affected by the lunar cycles, so are our body’s. After all, we are 60% water. 🌊🌊🌊

Our energy levels and emotional states are directly influenced by the waxing and waning phases of the moon. Just as the moon grows to a full moon (waxing phase), so does our energy. We become more social, active, and extroverted. Similarly, just as the moon shrinks (waning phase), we become more introspective and passive.

Right now we are currently shifting from a waning moon to a waxing moon. Have you noticed your energy naturally turning inwards over the last week or so? As the moon begins to grow, see if you can notice your energy beginning to turn outwards. ✨✨✨

Knowing what phase the moon is in has helped me to learn the patterns of my own emotional flows, and most especially to know when to take my feels a little less seriously if I start to spiral. 😵‍💫🙃

It’s also helped me to see when my energy levels typically increase and decrease during the month - when to be active, and went to take it easy - honoring my body where it’s at, and understanding that it’s all just a passing phase.

I much prefer consistency (!!!), but such is not the case with these bodies. Our ever changing phases are a constant lesson in detaching from the impermanent.

Happy flowing, fam! 🤍🤙

Have you ever literally felt heartbroken? 💔
That aching, heavy feeling in your chest that you just can’t shake until the sadness leaves… Yeah, me too… Ever wondered how it’s possible that we can physically feel our emotional experiences?

Our body is inextricably linked to our mind. We can’t separate the two no matter how hard we try. So whatever we think and feel, our body directly experiences as well. For example, when we feel stressed, our shoulders and neck become tight. When we feel grief, our chest feels heavy and constricted. When we feel angry, our body gets hot and our head aches. The list goes on and on...

Sometimes when we experience problems or traumas that are too overwhelming, we repress them until we’re ready to deal with them later. Depending on our body, and how long we wait, we will most likely begin to develop physical discomfort as a result of the unprocessed emotional experience. If left untreated for an extended period of time, these bodily discomforts can eventually grow into a variety of different ailments or dis-eases. (guilty! 🙋‍♀️ did anyone ever see my big thumb?? 👍 more on that later 🙃)

Beginning this August, I’ll officially be offering Somatic Therapy sessions that directly deal with our mind body connection, in which we’ll use the body as a spring board to delve deeper into our inner world.

Stay tuned for more details ✨

Is it just me, or does anyone else start to feel bloated and mildly uncomfortable in your body when the weather gets warmer? 🥵

If you’re feeling like your holding onto excess water weight, struggling with digestion, and or feeling lethargic & run down, now’s a great time to do a cleanse to acclimate your body to the change in weather. I recently finished a 10 day cleanse and am feeling a lot less bloated & heavy, and a lot more energized & light. 🌈🦋✨

If you’re interested in doing a cleanse but don’t like to fast, a kitchari cleanse with seasonal vegetables and spices is a great way to shift your body into summer mode. ☀️🍲🥬🌽🍅😎⛱

My studio room is a sacred space for me, and I keep a few things in here that remind me to stay rooted in who I am, and why I’m here doing what I do. 🌞📿

The first image posted is a murti (spiritual statue) of Krishna that my mom gifted me many years ago. (Thanks mom!) In my spiritual tradition, we call God “Krishna”, which means the all attractive one, and He is the masculine aspect of divinity. The second image posted is a trifold mini altar from of (1) Śrī Radha, the feminine aspect of divinity (we believe God is both male & female), along with (2) Pancatattva, and (3) Lord Nrsimha, further expansions of the Supreme.

The reason I keep these items here is to turn my room into an altar space, and to pull in a spiritual energy. Every time I work on someone, or work with someone, I pray beforehand and ask for divinity to come and be present with me, guide me, and use me as a tool for healing.

Having these items in my room reminds me of what I’m really doing. It keeps me from going into a mundane practice, and reminds me of what my dharma (purpose) is— to give the people I serve a higher taste of spirituality. The spiritual path requires deep healing on *all* levels; and so, I’m using the modalities of bodywork, energy work, and coaching as a platform to assist people on their spiritual journey. My goal is to help my clients go deep within themselves in order to discover their truest identity— that of an eternal spirit soul temporarily living within a material body.

I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance, with the torchlight of knowledge.

Friday reminder to go outside, take a deeeeep breath, and open your eyes to the world around you 🌞🌿🦋👁🤲🏼

Bhakti Yoga, my spiritual tradition, is one of the three main yogic paths to enlightenment. Bhakti means loving devotional service, and this path contains various practices to unite the bhakta (Bhakti Yoga practitioner) with the Divine. 🦋📿

“Bhakti softens the heart and removes jealousy, hatred, lust, anger, egoism, pride, and arrogance. It infuses joy, divine ecstasy, bliss, peace, and knowledge. All cares, worries and anxieties, fears, mental torments, and tribulations entirely vanish. The devotee is freed from the Samsaric wheel of births and deaths. He attains the immortal abode of everlasting peace, bliss, and knowledge” ~Swami Sivananda

Have you experienced that Bhakti magic? ✨🙏✨

Somatic bodywork is any type of bodywork—whether it’s massage, reiki, or craniosacral therapy—where you and your practitioner consciously work with your inner perceptions. It combines bodywork with verbalization of feelings and emotions, so it treats pain and discomfort as more than just sensations in the physical body.

Somatics works with the whole of you: your physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts; your intuition and imagery; your spiritual insights. It can facilitate deep healing of old wounds and trauma.

Bodywork can bring up a lot more than pain in our muscles and tissues. Our body stores unhealed experiences for a safer time, and then nonverbally brings them up for healing—as sensations, symptoms, feelings, and more. So what if those were the focus? That’s somatic bodywork.

Have you ever worked with a somatic massage therapist? How was your experience?
