An open letter to my villages….🥹🫶🏼

“It takes a village” — ain’t that the goddamn truth. So, this one, this one goes out to all of my “villages” without them I wouldn’t be who I am & more importantly I wouldn’t be able to BE who I am without them all, supporting me in all of their separate unique ways……so here’s ...

I share my story, my truth. So others can feel safe enough to do the same. YOU ARE NOT ALONE🫶🏼

Not, not me hysterically crying….. because if you too are the mom who “looks back at old videos of your baby and balls your f*cking eyes out because you feel you didn’t get to enjoy it as much as you ‘should have’ all those years because you were stuck in survival mode….” Fighting ever...

This. 🫶🏼
“They tell us how to grow a baby. What to eat.
What not to eat. What vitamins to take and what bras to buy. Allll the prenatal yoga moves to do.

But they forget to tell us how to put ourselves back together once that baby is born.
They forget to tell us how we might feel like we’re drifting.
Afloat. Alone. On a life raft with leaky breasts and sore stitches and a tiny little being dependent upon us for survival.
They forget to tell us how weird and wild it feels to have loose organs shifting about inside of us. How there will be so much softness still.

I get it. You don’t want to startle us. You don’t want us to be scared about what’s ahead.
But….a little heads up would be helpful
We’re brave enough for the truth.
And those things you find so scary- loose skin and leaky breasts and big feelings- we might just be bold enough to welcome them.
To see the beauty there.

So here’s the truth mama-
Your pelvic floor will probably need work and attention. You’ll have to put in some effort to regain that muscle strength, no matter how gentle your birth. Your breasts and belly will probably never be the same. Love them anyway. Love than more than before!! Celebrate them! Buy bras that make you feel sexy. Then move on.

Your identity and sense of self will change radically. Buckle up for the ride. You’ve got this. Your partnership and friendships and general relationship with the outside world might feel foreign for awhile. Or forever. Those relationships might crack and break under the weight of new parenthood. Live your truth. Leave the rest behind. In love.

The whole world might feel shaken up.
You’ll probably feel shaky and raw
That’s normal (they just forgot to tell you.)

You’re new here. In this skin. In this role. In this love. You’ll find your way. You’ll find your rhythm. It will all fall into place- with time.
Until then- breathe.
As deeply as you can.
Drink your tea before it gets cold.
If you can.
Rest -
whenever you can.
And love on your new self.
As deeply as you can."

The inner child healing of this song….makes it that much more powerful knowing she was staring at her Mom the entire time serenading her with these lyrics. Because, MOMS are the real MVP of our inner child healing era.

MY ACTUAL CHILD (mini) HEALER…..🧠✨
sure there’s an “inner child healer” but, have you ever had the pleasure of your ACTUAL CHILD helping you heal too…

because thatttttt sh*tttttt has some next level healing powers 🥲🙌🏼

He’s at this age where HE LOVES TO HELP and do whatever we’re doing — SO instead of just shoving my vitamins & supplements down my throat quick before I take over baby duty in the A.M, I (try my best) to slow down + be present in the moment with him and with my healing.

And, I swear by this ‘practice’ ……..when we work to integrate all the parts (especially in THIS SEASON of parenthood) it has its own secret healing powers ✨

I’m so glad I was able to actually capture this morning’s little healer of mine, because usually it’s not so easy to do. And I LOVE nothing more than collecting THESE sort of memories 🎬

It’s the micro moments like this in parenthood, where you find all the ✨MAGIC ✨

So, slow down.
And, take it all in.

Mindful mommy’ing activated 💃🏻

P.s — don’t let this fool you. it’s NOT an easy practice but it’ll always and forever be one I consistently try my best to show up for 🙌🏼 AND YOU CAN TOO, start small.

And of course if you need any sort of guidance through the practice I’m your girl — TXT/ CALL/DM for your free consult today 🥰💃🏻

SOMATIC THERAPY…🙌🏼🧠
is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses BOTH psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing.

This is a little glimpse into my morning routine *before the world wakes walk & movement* HEAAAAAALING AND SOOOO NEEDED. To. Say. The. Least.

if you’re a parent — waking up before your kids is the supreme PARENTING HACK 🙌🏼 (thanks to my hubby for instilling this in my SO NOT A MORNING PERSON self 😬

As an inner child energy healer & in addition to talk therapy —— somatic therapy is KEY.

Somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release the pent-up tension that negatively affects a client’s physical and emotional wellbeing.

SOMATIC HEALING addresses the split between the mind + body.

Since the mind + body are intimately connected, though not always in apparent ways.

Thought, emotions, and sensations are all believed to be interconnected and influence one another. HENCE WHY THIS WORK IS SO POWERFUL.

If you want to move that stagnant energy—
