Holistic Partners on 9th

09/05/2026

I know the value of sitting down for an hour and creating a vision board.

There is something powerful about getting your ideas out of your head and putting them somewhere you can actually see them. It sets intention, moves energy, creates clarity, and gets things in motion. Then, when you look at your board every day, you get a little renewed energy and focus on what you want to create more of in your life.

That’s why I wanted our Vision Board Workshop at Holistic Partners on 9th to be more intentional than grabbing some old magazines and gluing random pictures to poster board.

We have actual frames with glass for everyone to create their vision board in, and I’ve created a HUGE collection of pages specifically for this workshop. There are images, words, phrases, symbols, and ideas covering everything from abundance, health, relationships, family, travel and buying a home to spirituality, nature, transformation, hobbies, confidence, self-care, slow living, movement, creativity, cooking, homesteading and so much more.

You can find the things that actually represent what YOU want to call into your life.

We’ll also talk about creating a potent, intentional board, choosing images based on the feelings and experiences you want more of, including the everyday habits that support your bigger vision, and even using Feng Shui areas of your home as inspiration for what you want to cultivate.

And the Vision Board Workshop is just the beginning of what’s happening at HP9 this September!

We also have the Holistic & Metaphysical Fair on September 12, Teach Yourself Tarot on Saturday, September 19 from 4–7 PM, our Pendulum Workshop on September 17, the beginning of our 6-week Money Mindset Series with Michele Coy on September 23, Home Apothecary on September 24, and The Art of Scrying on Saturday, September 26 from 4–7 PM.

September is going to be full of opportunities to learn something new, create something meaningful, meet new people, and put some fresh energy into your life.

Come make something with us. Come learn with us. Come spend some time intentionally creating what comes next.

This Thursday at HP9, we’re making intentional vision boards, and there’s still time to join us!

This is so much more fun than sitting down with a pile of random old magazines and hoping you find something that speaks to you. We’ve created specific pages filled with images, words, phrases, symbols, numbers, nature, travel, home, health, relationships, abundance, transformation, spirituality and more so you can build a board around what you actually want to call into your life.

We’ll also be using real frames with glass, so you’ll leave with something beautiful and finished that you can actually display in your home. You can create a board for your overall vision, focus on a particular area of your life, or even create one intentionally for an area of your home using Feng Shui.

We’ll cut, paste, sip coffee and tea, talk about what we’re creating, and spend some time getting clear about where we want our energy and attention to go next.

We’re excited to welcome Carnival of Soul to HP9 for Teach Yourself Tarot! 🔮

Tarot becomes a lot more fun when you stop worrying about whether you’re doing it “right” and start learning how to actually read what you see in the cards.

Join Jake Prieto of Carnival of Soul for an afternoon of exploring tarot in a relaxed, hands-on way. Bring a friend, your sibling, your mom, your weird aunt who already owns 14 decks, or come on your own and meet some new people.

No experience is necessary. If you have a tarot deck you love, bring it with you. If you don’t have one yet, there will be plenty of decks available to explore and use. You won’t be spending three hours trying to memorize 78 definitions either. Jake will help you begin developing your own relationship with the cards and learning how to interpret what you see.

Saturday, September 19 | 4–7 PM
Holistic Partners on 9th
2970 S 9th St, Suite 2, Kalamazoo
$33 per person

We’re looking forward to having Jake at HP9 and offering another way for our community to gather, learn, explore, and try something new.

Tonight we made faerie homes!

Five of us got together, sipped tea and coffee, chatted about life, and spent the evening creating something whimsical just because we could. We painted, played with moss, crystals, mushrooms, butterflies, flowers, bark, stones and little treasures, and every single house turned out completely different.

It was relaxing, refreshing and genuinely fun. For an hour and a half, we got to work with our hands, focus on what was right in front of us, laugh, connect and let the rest of life fade into the background for a little while.

This is exactly why I wanted to bring more crafting workshops to HP9 this fall. Creative work gives us an opportunity to slow down, be present, experience pleasure and curiosity, and give our nervous systems some space to settle. Sometimes we need an evening where the only decision we have to make is where the tiny mushroom should go.

And look at these houses! I love how much personality each one has.

Next up is our Intentional Vision Board Workshop!

Join us to set intentions with scraps of paper, images, printed words, stickers and other little pieces that speak to you. We’ll slow down, think about what we want to cultivate in our lives, and turn those intentions into something visual and meaningful. We have actual frames with glass and specially curated pages to work from, so you’ll leave with a finished piece you can display in your home.

Thursday, September 10 | 5:30–7 PM | $22

Come sip some tea or coffee, create with us, and give yourself another evening to relax, connect and be present.

Come Build a House for the Faeries

Where moss becomes a rooftop,
and crystals catch the light,
where tiny glass mushrooms gather
and ordinary things become magic.

There is a little door
waiting for imagination,
a quiet place for wonder,
for curiosity,
for the part of you that still remembers
how good it feels to play.

Paint the walls.
Gather the stones.
Choose the treasures.
Follow whatever makes you smile.

Perhaps the faeries will find it.
Perhaps the magic is simply
what happens to you
while you’re making it.

Sensitivities and Mineral Patterns

Do you notice that your body has become sensitive to more things as you get older?

Maybe foods you used to eat without thinking about them suddenly bother you. You’re reacting to fragrances, cleaning products, smoke or other chemicals. Medications seem to hit you harder. You try a new vitamin or herb and instead of feeling better, you feel awful. Eventually you start wondering, “Why is my body reacting to everything?”

There can be a mineral piece to this.

Your minerals are involved in an enormous number of the systems that determine how well your body handles what it encounters every day. They support enzyme activity, histamine metabolism, detoxification pathways, antioxidant defenses, mitochondrial energy production, nervous system regulation, immune function and the integrity of the intestinal barrier.

Magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, molybdenum, sodium, potassium, calcium and iron can all become part of the picture. Their relationships matter too. On an HTMA, I’m looking at patterns such as calcium to magnesium, sodium to potassium, calcium to potassium, sodium to magnesium and zinc to copper, along with toxic elements that may be interfering with essential mineral metabolism.

This becomes especially interesting in people dealing with histamine intolerance, mast cell activation and increasing chemical or supplement sensitivity.

For example, copper is required for DAO, an enzyme involved in breaking down histamine in the digestive tract. Zinc supports immune regulation and intestinal barrier integrity. Magnesium participates in nervous system and cellular regulation. Manganese and selenium are involved in antioxidant defenses. Molybdenum supports sulfite metabolism. Sodium and potassium patterns can give us additional information about stress physiology and resilience.

Sometimes what looks like a growing list of unrelated sensitivities is actually a much larger pattern of a body that has less capacity to handle additional stressors.

That is one of the reasons I use HTMA. Instead of randomly adding more supplements to an already reactive person, we can look at their mineral patterns and determine where rebuilding may need to begin.

If you’ve become increasingly sensitive to foods, supplements, medications, fragrances or chemicals, an HTMA may give us some valuable clues about what is happening underneath that reactivity.

Message me to get an HTMA collection kit delivered to your home.

Energy Work by Ether and Earth at Holistic Partners on 9th!

I’ve had quite a few women come in lately who have never experienced energy work before.

Usually they’re curious. Open minded. Maybe not entirely sure what they believe about it yet.

And I actually love that.

Because one of the first things I tell someone is that I can’t tell them exactly what their session is going to be like. I don’t know either.

Sometimes I start working and get incredibly vivid imagery that I have to decipher as the session unfolds. Sometimes a loved one who has passed steps in. Sometimes I hear a message very clearly.

And then there are sessions where none of that happens.

I just get the sense that they have been walking around collecting from everyone.

Other people’s emotions. Other people’s stress. The energy of the places they’ve been. For people who are naturally very open or empathic, it can start to feel like there’s a whole lot in their field that doesn’t belong to them.

Those sessions are often much quieter. I clear. I ground. I follow what I’m noticing and let the session unfold from there.

There doesn’t have to be some huge mystical moment for energy work to feel profound.

And I think that’s what surprises first-timers the most.

They don’t always have words for what happened.

They just know they feel really, really good afterward. 💚
