Instagram has become an obstacle for me, an addictive relationship with co-dependency.
I’m using this powerful app hoping it will provide without toxicity. That it will cease using me the way it's engineered to.
Which seems somewhat hypocritical given how I've been using it.
I’m using it now, to publicly recognize the social obstacle IG has become, with hope that public accountability will help shift my energy into deriving the manifestation value from this reality.
To learn about me and how I experience social media.
I have found provocative art here.
I have appeased curiosity and grown more intelligent through convenient content here.
I have shared my own creations, made it a kind of gallery, added to the well of resources and I’ve done it with an intention to bring quality nourishment to community.
And many of you have received this.
Great relationships have been found, birthed and grown here. Incredible value for a gal who finds socializing an anxious experience and home the best place for my body to be in.
The resistance is to change, wanting IG to be more of what it was rather than what it has become.
I know how I’ve engaged with this social app is expiring, I’m not entirely sure what that will mean, or if I can avoid recycling the addiction
But …
I am acknowledging that this place has been so good for me historically. And that it’s not at the present all that nourishing.
and ...
That you can still find me, if you’d like to connect. I am open for meaningful exchanges. Find me in an email. Receive mine (you can subscribe if you’d like) or better yet, just send [email protected] a little something about how you are doing. I will respond, because I want to know you. If you have my number, text me. Perhaps we can coax one another into a public space for a coffee or a walk amongst fall leaves. Meet me at for Sunday spelunking (sept 10th) or inside a HA SKOOL’s virtual breathwork classroom (starts sept 5th). Links for all kind of ways to connect with me live in my bio.
Thank you for what you gave and give that has been so nourishing.

Kindness.
It’s funny how a word can hold a vast spectrum of context. How it (in this case kindness) can be shallow, deep, or somewhere in between.
How we define kindness, and how we relate to it conceptually, shapes the role it will play in relationships.
I think honesty is at the core of kindness. (A spectrum of its own.)
Pretense, fawning, placating each other always includes deceit. We’ve come to value these behaviors more than honesty and employ them as though they are kind.
But the thing is …. Many of us know.
We are intuitive creatures, outside of disassociation we can feel the tone and vibe in the room, in relationships, this sense is vital to our survival.
When we lie about what we know, how we feel, or what we are experiencing, we are enacting betrayal and employing dishonesty. Building a facade that serves no one. A house of cards.
And when we dare greatly enough to step into radical honesty about how we feel and what we are experiencing, especially when it’s hard to say, often what follows is invalidation, rejection, and projection that centers an attachment to illusion.
I’ve learned that I can’t stand myself when I engage a fawn/placate/pretense response, and don’t trust others who aren’t kind enough to give what I already know to me straight.
Real vulnerable honesty (saying something hard to the person it’s hard to say it to) is kindness. Holding that expression respectfully is also kindness.
Let’s all be a little more kind.

Can you feel it?
Maybe you, like me, are streaming “We are going to be friends” by the White Stripes currently?
It's back to skool season, summer is culminating and education objectives are taking central positioning in our communities. Learning is supported by this collective energy, IF the learning space and it's subjects feel safe for our nervous system.
Which is why I love breath work, it’s medicine that germinates and generates safety in the body, while effectively supporting the process of discovery and creation.
It’s my favorite educational subject, it's our birthright.
And, it’s accessible all of the time and not interdependent on outside factors. An alive body is a breath work able body.
If it calls you to surf the back-to-skool wave, I invite you to consider learning why breathwork is medicine and how to use it with me.
BAM is an 8 week breathwork as medicine course that takes place over zoom in small group format once a week for a few hours. A decade’s worth of breathwork data distilled down to the most palpable realities and effective uses.
What I cover:
house-holding a breath work practice and managing contraindications . exploring the indications of breath work through our structural anatomy . exploring the indications of breath work through circulatory anatomy . exploring the indications of breath work through the nervous system . how breath work effects the field of energy . using energetic systems (like the chakra system) to build a breath work framework . formulas and breath work prescriptions for everyday ailments in the body and mind . holotropic and psychedelic breath work for deep tissue exploration and healing.
AND - right after BAM will start my first ever breathwork facilitator training. (BAM is a prereq to taking the facilitation course)
Starts Sept 5th. Links in bio.

A scientific education and energetic experimentation experience with breathing.
That's what BAM is.
I know breath to be a vehicle for physical integration and energetic embodiment, THE portal to astonishing alchemical opportunities for multidimensional healing.
Breath is the anatomical science of wellbeing at the core of human-being.I will tell you everything I know about the collection of tubes that makes up our body and how the respiratory ones specifically can be transformative and life-changing.
If you know you want whatever it is that I am saying in this thesaurus of words that attempt to illustrate the vibe of a BAM experience, I invite you to come home to self, to aliveness, too Breath.
BAM starts Sept 5th and is a once a week two hour zoom class, held over the course of 8 weeks. 50% live attendance is required, class is recorded and shared with students for any absence or review needs.
What will be covered: house holding a breath work practice and managing contraindications . exploring the indications of breath work through our structural anatomy . exploring the indications of breath work through circulatory anatomy . exploring the indications of breath work through the nervous system . how breath work effects the field of energy . using energetic systems (like the chakra system) to build a breath work framework . formulas and breath work prescriptions for everyday ailments in the body and mind . holotropic and psychedelic breath work for deep tissue exploration and healing.
ALSO - after BAM will be my first ever facilitator training, and this class is a pre-req for that one.

When we engage in somatic practices we are supporting the body's innate ability to heal, and permissing it to do so.
This is the basis of every somatic formula I generate and every somatic space I hold.
There is an opportunity to experience somatic medicine as I design it on Sept 10th at 10 am in Heber City UT $20 Sunday Spelunking link in bio
And, this fall there is an opportunity to learn from HA_SKOOL the healing art of somatic breathwork and facilitation. Breathwork as Medicine links in bio.

They say I should introduce myself every now and then.
They say now that an introductory post should live there, like a mini website all cutely push-pinned.
They say I should post more reels and create more content.
And they aren’t wrong, tho I don’t think they are right either.
And should, and shouldn’t, always denotes judgment, so I consider it all pretty loosely.
Am I off to a good start?
Hi, it’s me … I’m the problem.
Trendy enough?
I’ve recently found a tremendous amount of energy for restructuring my life and a creative desire to grow as an educator.
I outgrew the breathing classroom and HA_SKOOL is the new framework that has emerged as a result.
(tho I assure you breathwork education is still here).
A healing arts skool more cleanly holds the topics I feel adequately qualified to contribute back to community through.
I surface a class, experience, or resource for public advantage when I feel confident in my ability to offer value (which comes after months or even years of study), and hold effective safe space in and around a topic.
I’ve got a few classes open and a few in the pipeline,
it’s a lot of love to give.
I feel more at home in HA SKOOL than I have for a while.
A change in energy has given not only me, but the education I offer, more life-force to create with.
I hope you will come and learn + play here.
