See you soon ya’ll:)

This ceremony hit deep in the most gentle and tender way. Healing and expanding doesn’t have to always be so uncomfortable, the labor doesn’t have to be painful to be effective whole and complete.

Sometimes healing looks like graceful bravery and heart opening surrendering. It looks like tears of relief, embraces and easy, confident breath. It looks like JOY!

Sunday’s ceremony was so beautiful, that altar, The Souls, the openness and the LOVE!

Thank you to everyone who was there both physically and in spirit, we moved things, you could feel it.....

Feeling gratitude to know and have had the chance to breathe with this special community, in this sacred space.

Keep posted on her events, she has some really beautiful offerings coming up!!

Yall feeling this Energy!? 🥵This New Moon in Aries ♈️ arrives with a Solar Eclipse ☀️and the potential for shift can scarcely be ignored.

Aries energy is all about Self/Personality, this is Soul Purpose Territory. Can you taste the ache to feel aligned and in your Truth?
Old excuses just aren’t cutting it anymore.

Does it feel as if wounds from the past are blocking your ability to express with confidence and authenticity? Have you been frozen, afraid old patterns will repeat themselves?

Aries fire brings the clarity/bravery to melt and incinerate the outdated programming within. In the wake of the healing flames we are gifted scorched Earth where we can begin anew. This process establishes the past where it belongs, behind us.

Rebirth is uncomfortable at first and ecstasy as it’s realized, you’ll see.✨✨✨

What would you do with a clear path?

You have permission to burst forth and write new stories, will you accept the invitation??

Explore these themes and so many more in a beautiful, inclusive, BIPOC women led ceremony this Sunday April 9th in West Seattle.

We’re going to go DEEP and it’s going to be truly beautiful. You are cordially invited💞✨⭐️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

More info in the link in bio!! And at

This right here ya’ll! These Heart Healing Sessions provide a pathway to true shift/fresh start energy.

We’ll spend a half day wrapped in the oncoming energy of the Lunar Eclipse, Spring Equinox and Aries Energy and partake in ceremony, Cacao and Breathwork to get vulnerable so that we might heal, explore and expand.

The potential for transformation is huge! Can you feel it?

I’ll be facilitating with the amazing Maria healing so you know we’re going to go deep.
And you’re ready for it:)

Sign up soon, dear ones! We gather in less than one week!
Oh I can’t wait🕯️

Hey Yall!! Long story short, meditation has changed my life and mindfulness practices I’ve learned have provided me peace, calm and compassion. Just wanted to share that one of my favorite places to study mindfulness, Mindfulness Northwest, .northwest starts a fresh round of classes, both in person in the PNW and online for all, next week.

They also have overnight retreats, day retreats, classes for healthcare professionals, teacher training and more, check it out and let me know if you have questions!

My favorite 8 week class is Mindful Self Compassion, which taught me how to love myself unconditionally and be my best ally in my personal growth. I also loved the 8 week class, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction which helped me be more present, helped me deal with chronic pain and helped me set up my very own regular meditation practice that has served me well in pretty much every situation in day to day life.

Here’s to balance, here’s to growth, here’s to working smarter not harder lol

Check out Mindfulness Northwest via the link in bio or the link below, they are awesome!!

If you’re looking to bloom, it’s time to Breathe🌹

What does it mean to truly Breath, and for your benefit?

Come find out, tomorrow at

We’ve got a few spots left for you to join us for, beginners and seasoned welcomed, come as you are🫶🏾💕💆🏾‍♀️

See you soon!

Happy New Moon in Pisces!! The theme seems to read: “If you’re going to dig deep, make sure it’s nourishing you!”

I’m back at the lovely with the latest incarnation of my RESET Ceremony. It’s part short meditation, mostly Breath Work with a soothing crystal soundbowl soundbath to finish.

In your feelings? Struggling? Thriving? Numb? Every stage in life could use a real deep breath and some supportive space.

Come to this ceremony: Drop the load, do some inner work, feel the love and decide what you’d like to carry out on your way home.

I’m not going to lie, this will be more work with the Breath than Soundbath but show up as you, with true intentions and you WILL leave nourished.

Both first timers and seasoned breathers are welcome. DM me with any questions related to the experience.

REGISTER FOR THE CLASS VIA THE LINK IN BIO and Bring a Friend!!🌲🕯️🌬️

And while I have you? More info coming on another opportunity to breath deeply at the April Heart Healing Circle, more info via the link in bio as well🕯️✨🌱

🌕Happy Full Moon in Leo♌️! Happy Aquarius Season♒️!

🏺🌬️ I’ve been writing astral/moon insights for three beautiful years, almost to the day, and feel the Aquarian winds of transition and change blowing me toward new creative pursuits and curiosities to sink my teeth into.

👏🏾I can't believe it’s been that long, I’m proud of myself dangit! It’s been a really lovely thing in my life on so many levels.

✍🏾Writing these moon insights has given me at least two reasons per month to sit down and commit to the craft of writing. I love to write! It’s also such a ridiculous/uncomfortable process! IYKYK

🙏🏾I’ve learned so much about the moon phases, the cosmos, astrology and the human condition. The faceing/learning about myself? Priceless+++I wake up early in the morning on the New Moons and Full Moons and sit in the beautiful silence to listen, receive, transmit and integrate. I light candles, and prepare my space: the ceremony of it all has been an honor.

🙏🏾Thank you to the Ancestors and people who gave me messages of appreciation and encouragement over the years, it can’t be put into words what that does for my soul and for my desire to create when I receive Your affirmation and hear that these transmissions resonate within other bodies.

🥣Before I go, here is a nourishing bowl of “Full Moon in Leo in Aquarius Season” word soup: Dance, celebrate, release, surrender, see the big picture, “I Belong & I’ve Always Belonged”, claim the seats at your tables, community mindset, it’s no biggie, forward thinking focus, clarity/cut-and-dry, innovative solutions, breath into the next, backward focus=energy suck, I will be nice to myself, Big Energy, dazzle for: Yourself, affirm those in your community (especially if they are reaching for Higher Self energy), Shoulders Back, Chin Up, Why not?, Unlimited, on your own steam, Original, everything is untangling toward my favor, wow!

🎉🎂🥳🎊🎁Happy Birthday Fellow Aquarians and that beautiful part inside each and everyone one of us that holds the vision of peace, appreciation and connection and knows that it can be realized just seconds after our decision to treat each other with love and respect xoxo Heather Ace💗💗💗💗💗

Thank you again and more coming soooooon!!!

🌑Happy New Moon in Capricorn ♑️!! I can’t think of a better moment to reset/repair/retool the attitudes and actions you’ve currently got on loop. New Moons are an incredible time to plant new seeds and renew/reclaim/reintegrate the gifts and awareness you’ve been given and the work that you’ve done thus far. If you’re looking for a sign to step it up, do things a little more luxuriously and reimagine your path: this 1/11 First New Moon of the year is IT!
Read on for more moon insights.

💗In this grounded, clarity inducing moment of a Capricorn New Moon, with A LOT of cosmic Release energy, we are asked to get “serious” about Feeling Good!

🌡️How’s your energetic hygiene? Do you desire experiences that make you Feel Good? What are you truly sowing & serving with your energy? I’ve provided some FAQ’s on this thing called Feeling Good that might be helpful:)

📋FEELING GOOD FAQ’s

🎭Isn’t it selfish to Feel Good if there is someone in the world who Feels Bad?
No.It’s probably the least selfish thing you can do as Feeling Good ourselves is the only way we can actually/truly “help” others.

🤷🏾‍♀️Why would I Feel Good when it’s so much easier to Feel Bad?
This is a myth, it’s much harder to Feel Bad! It hurts, it’s tiring, it’s so damn uncomfortable, it’s isolating af. It’s a heavy, dragging lift on your energy. Feeling Good is ah-mah-zing, it instantly boosts your abundance, provides creative thinking and sends waves of compassion into the spaces you inhabit and around the humans you encounter.

🤲🏾I’d like to Feel Good right away, how do I get that?
Feeling good is not a light switch thing. You don’t just turn on great feelings, especially if you’ve been living in a body and with mental patterns that are more attuned to tension, stress, malnourishment and fear. Feeling Good is very much a practice! At first, it takes consistent effort to Feel Good, to strengthen that muscle memory, and while it does get easier, it will always require maintenance, shift and intention. Man-made shortcuts to Feeling Good are short lived at best and will eventually make Feeling Good a heavier lift. There ARE Spirit Shortcuts that definitely work though! Those include supporting your physical body with movement/nourishment, getting solid rest/sleep and exploring the meditative practices that support you being in the moment.
*

⏯️Feel Good Practice:
As opportunities to express arise and as experiences arrive, focus on the playfulness/humor, look for the positives and sift for those opportunities to generate Good Feelings as if they were gold. Express gratitude for the “nuggets” you’ll find!

As opportunities to express arise and as experiences arrive, BRIEFLY note the parts you’re not vibing with, the parts that offer fleeting feelings of good but then leave you deeper in the hole. Release those patterns and that programming just as soon as you become aware of them and then recalibrate back towards the golden vibrations of Feeling Good. Rinse and repeat lol.

⭐️Little by little, you will attune to curiosity, connection, joy and LOVE. The things in your life that are not attuned to Feeling Good will drop away with astoundingly little effort or fanfare so there’s really no need to focus there. Practice often!

👂🏾What would my Ancestors
say about this “feeling good” business?
Your Ancestors say, “When you feel good, we ALL feel good! Thank you for sending Good Feelings out. Reflect and dwell on that which makes you feel good more often than what makes you feel bad. When bad feelings do arise, and they will, use them to help you refine how you DO want to feel and then bask in that fresh new glow; spiritual alchemy baby:) We love you sooooo much and we are here to support your expansion!!

🎉🎂Happy Birthday Capricorns!! Thank you for the focused energy on forward movement, on taking things to the next level, on the desire to be better humans simply because it makes us Feel Good

🌕Happy Full Cold Moon in Cancer!!♋️ I’m writing this to you at the airport on my way to Accra, Ghana. 🇬🇭 This is my first time to Africa where my ancestors thrived before the chattel slave industry began. Truly there isn’t a better moon for a Homecoming than the Cancer Full moon and it’s all happening during the Winter Solstice and a hearty Mercury Retrograde aka the messages on security, family, compassion, heritage and home are coming in RED HOT.
Read on for more moon readings…

🦀Evolve your boundaries. Your Cancerian Crab shells (boundaries) serve to give your life meaning and context. That same shell can also stunt growth and leave you feeling trapped, constricted or slow to grow. Take a lesson from the crab and make sure that you’re regularly molting, regularly recognizing when you’ve outgrown your boundaries and are ready to move into something more spacious and fitting for your ever evolving spirit. Do not drag that old shell into the new chapter!

🎭Emo is Supremo. Emotions are what makes us human, emotions connect us and create the texture and symphony of life. When emotions are stuffed down, denied or shamed, sh** gets weird fast and disconnection and loss of empathy is rapid. It is beautiful, invigorating and oh so educational to tap into the wisdom of your emotions. Shed guilt around anger, remove shame around grief, embrace joy, it’s not frivolous. People pay a lot of money (and do a lot of drugs) to FEEL, anything, so when you feel, anything, rejoice, tap in and most importantly: listen.

🎆🎇🎆Happy New Year to all!! This was a massive year of healing/growth/introspection/shift, next year we dance in the fruits of our labor so don’t drag anything but the FRESHEST of energy through, you won’t need it one bit!!

🫶🏾With love, gratitude and blessings from my ancestors to yours, Heather Ace

Happy Winter Solstice!

The shortest day of the year yields a path to steadily gathering light.

Still basking in the gloooooow🥰🥰🥰🥰

🌑Happy New Moon in Sagittarius ♐️ !!! The last new moon of the year is upon us and brings with it the freshest of fires. Where normally this sign and a New Moon might ask us to blaze new trails and start things anew, this cycle we are being asked to tie up loose ends and put our desires in the refiners fire…read on for more moon insight.

🧹Clear the deck: Chances are your Life To Do list has some expired, crusty line items on it. Even if you think you can “Do it All”, do you really want to?

🔦In this moon moment we are invited to revamp our desires and hone in on our path forward. Think Big Picture here, hammering out the little details should happen in real time, not pre-scribed to the best of your (limited) knowledge.

🤔Do not slow your momentum with a “but how will this all work” mentality. Stay attuned by adopting a “how do I want to feel when I get there” state of mind.

❤️‍🔥Shine firelight on the obligations/desires/chores/dreams on your list. What remains relevant and what has expired? What updates need to be made? What have you been afraid to add? What have you been hesitating to cross out? You are being asked to put your focus on what feels aligned.

💔The teacher of Grief may very well arrive in this shifting process and the lessons that it brings are meant to be cherished not feared, you were built to transform. It’s time to tie up loose ends before starting anything anew, create space before filling it.

⏰It’s a cosmic “Sh** or get off the pot” moment!

🔥Use the light of the Sagittarius flame and the wisdom of Mercury’s Retrograde (tomorrow) to mold your To Do List to one that supports your growth, nourishment, joy and expansion. Cross off anything that reeks of borrowed burden, old versions of self or heavy rules that constrict or deny your authenticity. Let guilt and shame over “unfinished business” come up and OUT.

🌱Your ability to renew, whenever you desire, is your birthright.

🎉🎂🎈Happiest of Birthdays to the Sagittarius in us all, that bright, beautiful, non judgemental energy to transform by!! Winter Solstice arrives soon, here’s to putting things to bed so that abundance might find space to grow anew xoxo Heather Ace

The Breath can heal what ails you!

I don't how I'm still surprised how deep I can connect and how much I can release by just breathing with intention. Deep breathing as a way to process is grounding and comforting and so....real. HIGHLY recommended for, well, most humans.

I am so honored to have held space for the mighty breathers ! The space felt almost celebratory, these people were ready to surrender/release, ready to connect, and open to a shift back into calm and balance.

The altar glowed so beautifully in the dim lights of this temple of a studio, lovingly attended to by owner/instructor and program/marketing manager Agi B, my two new favorite people. Many folks lingered after the ceremony to soak in the afterglow, pull Oracle cards and play on the sound bowls. In these dark days of the year the sun of community is certainly giving me life.

Ajo and Ase for this work!

******
It went so beautifully we already have a day set for the next one! Save the Date for Sunday March 24, 2024 for another Breathwork & Sound Bowl Ceremony. Keep your eyes out for sign up information in the New Year!

With gratitude, deep breaths and heaping cups of good humor,
Heather Ace xoxo

🌕Happy Full Beaver Moon in Gemini!!♊️

We move from Scorpio’s waters to Sagittarius’s fires under a communicative, buzzy Gemini moon. We’ll have the power of Big Picture thinking in our quiver and if we play our cards right, the ability to communicate as clearly and confidentially as our soul allows! Read on for more moon insights…
*
*

-Release the pressure to be completely understood. For me, the scariest part of communicating is the thought that I might be misunderstood. That’s a lot of pressure for something that is absolutely going to happen from time to time! We’re all looking at the same world through different lenses. Yes, we tend to gravitate toward people whose lenses relate to ours more closely but we’ll definitely bump into people whose lenses will be too narrow to grasp our points of view. That is not your/a problem.

Do not make the struggle to be understood by everyone your mission or goal. Do not let being misunderstood haunt you. Instead seek to understand yourself and others around you more, widening your lens and attracting more understanding energy around you. Change your focus, being misunderstood is not that deep whereas being understood is a magical thing, offer/receive it with gratitude!

*
*

-Communication is more than verbal. What are you communicating to yourself? What stories do you tell yourself, how do they paint your world, when and why were they created and how do they affect the lens you see through? You might find some unhelpful, outdated stories in your roster that were created to protect and now do more harm than good. Boot em. What good is a point of view that requires you to remain narrow minded and stagnant? What media, narratives, perspectives and content do you feed yourself and if “you are what you eat” how is that currently showing up for you IRL?

A communication reset may be in order at this moon moment. “Marie Kondo” the mind by dumping things out in a hearty journaling or list making session (feel free to use the prompts above). Be intentional about the stories/communications you choose to move forward with and be open to rewriting/scrapping stories when it’s required for expansion.

*
*
-Communication Challenge: Reflective listening is when you listen with the intention for understanding vs. listening with the intention to state your point of view when the speaker has stopped talking. I’m a bit rusty and I’m noticing it takes a lot of brain power to truly listen without forming an opinion/response.

You might even reflect back what the speaker has said as a way to gain proper understanding, giving them the opportunity to refine, confirm and/or elaborate. This is an advanced communication tool as we often communicate to BE understood, not necessarily TO understand. Beware that asking questions can sneakily end up manipulating the conversation. Remember your intention, to listen with the intention for understanding.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAG BABIES!!! Oh how I bask in your ability to see the big beautiful picture, to shake off the how/why of it all and live in the exciting, flowing NOW!!

You are invited to ✧˖°. RESET: A Breathwork + Soundbath Ceremony! Led by me, Heather at my new favorite yoga studio Simply Hot Yoga Wellness Center !!

⟢ Our time in this workshop will be spent connecting with our breath and creating space within. When we connect with our breath we can enjoy the peace outside the hamster wheel of our thoughts.

⟢ The session will open with a breath “warm up” to prepare us for a breathwork ceremony. The Conscious Connected, or two part breath pattern you'll learn, can create a catalyst for transformation and deep healing.

⟢ Following our breathwork ceremony we shift into a beautiful crystal bowl soundbath where your body can rest and integrate the work. Giving ourselves the opportunity to release what no longer serves us, recalibrate, and begin anew is one of the best gifts we can give ourselves. If you’re looking for a Reset, this space may be for you!

⟢ Suggested Items To Bring:
• Yoga mat/thick pad/blanket(s)
• Something to rest your head on (pillow, bolster, towel, article of clothing)
• Water/hydration
• Journal
• Sacred Items to charge on the altar (crystals, meaningful tokens, stones, etc)
• Eye mask, ear plugs, clothing layers (for sensory management)

*Sound baths do not involve water or getting wet*
