Your Fall Reset

Fall Reset + a Touch of Magic 🌀 Hypno/Soundbath + Waterfront Retreat

Hi friends~

As the season shifts, it’s a powerful time to pause, reflect, and realign. This fall, I’ve been leaning into deeper practices that support nervous system healing and heart-centered connection, both personally and professionally.

  • Just returned from a beautiful somatic IFS retreat. Deep work, sacred space, and soul-centered community (photo above 💫)
  • Feeling inspired to bring more of that grounding energy into my local offerings this season
  • Fall is a time of letting go and of rooting down. Perfect for healing and re-centering

And on a more personal note, I’ve been diving into a fantasy writing class lately. Because, well… fantasy is da bomb. 🐉✨

I love flipping reality on its head—building worlds where animals sit in the boardroom, shamanism weaves into Christianity, and good and evil exist, but good doesn’t always win (and that’s okay). We all have a little shadow in us… and sometimes, honoring that is part of the healing too.

👇 If you’re craving a reset or just some soul-fueling experiences this fall, check out the Hypno/Soundbath next week and our upcoming November 1st IFS Hypnosis + Sound + Writing Retreat on the water.

Both are beginner-friendly, restorative, and crafted with so much care. Whether you join one or both, you’ll walk away lighter, clearer, and more grounded.

One small change: I’ll be switching from monthly to weekly emails. Rather than cramming everything into one long update, I’d rather send shorter, more focused notes that your (and my) nervous system can actually absorb. More steady touchpoints, less overwhelm :) Hi friend, Take a moment and ask yourself, “How does my anger materialize? Does it show up in small ways like… 😠 Snapping at coworkers?😖 Unfounded frustration at your partner?😞 Emotional shutdown because you’re just too overwhelmed?...

October Newsletter No Escape Hatch: How I Face What’s Still Alive Inside Me Hi friends~ Since returning home from my Somatic IFS Step 1 training, people keep asking me, “How was it?” It’s a simple question—but the answer isn’t. In therapy trainings, we’re not passive learners. We don’t sit at the edge of the work. We become the work. We step into the client role and meet whatever’s ready to surface. And what surfaced for me? Memories. The ones I thought I’d already “dealt with.”The ones I’m...

September Newsletter What a Baby Shark Taught Me About Letting Go Hi friends~ On my very first fishing trip, I expected to catch something small, maybe a flounder. Instead, I reeled in a baby shark. 🦈 Tradition says you kiss the shark before tossing it back—kind of a sailor’s blessing. So I kissed it hard, partly for luck and partly to make sure it wouldn’t come back to nip me while I was in the water. A wild little rite of passage—sealed with salt, laughter, and a kiss. 🌊✨ Since then, I’ve...
