Took a walk through a forest of Sequoia trees today here in Cali 🌲🕊️ to think that some have been around for more than 2,200 years…incredible!

Let’s take a walk back in time together to reflect on the new year, shall we? ➡️

p.s. this was delightful to make because it really helps you appreciate all the small moments you might have missed otherwise.

gratitude to life & all the folks who were involved in the journey this year, love you. Besos 2025 ✈️

Field Note 1.
September 21st, 2025 + Somewhere in British Colombia, Canada.

I read somewhere once, years ago, that we write to taste life twice. To reflect upon what it is we are witnessing or have witnessed. To remember the textures of our felt sense - in totality, all at once. There are poetic techniques I’ve learned recently, like those found in list poems, where you name dissimilar things together to create a scene.

I am writing this to remember what I observe but also to share the experience as a way to inspire collective wonder and affirm the beauty that still does exist. In hopes that I can in some way contribute and translate small details into symbols of connection, care, hope, and unity.

To perhaps learn from the land what we are not seeing clearly.

Observation: We are parked next to a river this afternoon. Allow me to paint the picture for you: evergreen trees (although some are yellow and tinged with light orange hues at this point in September) standing tall on the opposite side of where I am / a colony of small oval-shaped stones / a beaver dam / seasonal friction hovers.

I learned recently that beavers are actually the animal of Canada, due to their significance in the fur trade during the 17th + 19th centuries. A family of tree stumps exist just 7 feet from where I sit writing, roots still intact, although a height so humble a squirrel might not bow before it / rain may be coming in a few minutes by the looks of the sky / leaves are slowly starting to fall and begin their romance with the ground / the sound of a leaf in communion with the dampness of the soil is just noticeable / it’s all settling in a sort of home, if you want to call it that.

Texture: It feels like licorice being stretched. A coldness is present - not just a temperature, it’s in the muted colors, wet air, and looming uncertainty of rainfall…Oh, and the rain has in fact arrived.

Metaphor: All of these pieces of nature represent something to the whole. They make sense to each other. They belong. The tree trunks may not have height, but they have depth. Even though we cannot see how far they reach.

I used to think rest was something you earned…
..Only after everything was done, could I pause and give myself a break. I was afraid that if I stopped, I wouldn’t be able to continue. But the list never ended, and neither did the tightness in my chest, neck and back. Fear persisted and played out the same story day after day.

Until I started to make more space to meet the pressure to perform.

You see, as we strive for more, success can start to feel shadowed by an undercurrent of urgency. A part of you working tirelessly to get it right, to prove your worth, to stay in control.

But that part is just that, a part of you, not all of you.

Something shifts when we learn to relate to that part with softness instead of more pressure around needing to control and force an outcome. At some point, maybe it was helpful to do this, but when it starts to take away from your ability to function, that’s when it may be time to really make a change. You will know when it is time.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a map of your inner world. It shows you which part of you might be afraid to fail. The part of you that is trying to stay busy to keep from being overwhelmed with emotion and intensity.

Somatic yoga therapy brings that map into the body by helping you sense that fear in your jaw, in your chest, and in the way you hold your breath and posture. And then offering movement to repattern the postural story and adopt a new narrative in your body, so your mind can actually update the whole system.

Together, these practices invite a deeper integration. Insight becomes embodied, and trust is rebuilt from the inside out.

Through breath, movement, and gentle attention, even your most protective parts can learn to soften.

This is for all the people who are doing their best but still don’t feel enough. Keep going ❤️.

These are the words I often share when I hear imposter syndrome rise. Just because you don’t know everything, doesn’t mean you know nothing.

Remember that. You are more skilled and capable than you give yourself credit for. You don’t have to know everything to be a skilled professional or person. I know it feels like you do, but trust in your abilities.

You are working so hard and that effort is worth something even though it might not feel like it right now.

it’s in the moments of quiet courage that strength speaks loud 🫶

Non-violent communication skills you didn’t know you needed until now ⬇️

Words have the power to create connection instead of fragmenting it.

In conflict, one of two things (basically) can happen: collaboration/connection or more conflict that ends in two people feeling more detached. We’ve all been there. Maybe even reading this now you already have in mind an argument that is still fresh and waiting to be tended to.

Conflict resolution is a skill that will CHANGE your life and your connections. I think if we all learned these basics in school we would have so much more peace in our world. Genuinely I do.

Non-violent Communication teaches us that the right words we use during conflict can transform how you connect with who you are arguing with by fostering space to hear and see someone else’s hurt without projecting your own or creating more distance from each other.

It allows you to pause, and see the person in front of you and let your humanness be witnessed. Instead of letting your anger get the best of you and harm the person you love.

This is heart of ahimsa (non-violence to yourself and others) in yoga philosophy and the ultimate practical way you can start integrating this wisdom teaching into your daily conversations.

How do I apply wisdom teachings? THIS is how. This is how you live your yoga practice off the mat. It starts with small adjustments to the daily routine and interactions with others and then ripples out.

You don’t have to do this perfect. Just a little willingness to try goes a LONG way.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes 💌.

Non-Violent Communication Steps:

1. Observation
2. Feelings
3. Needs
4. Requests

Allow me to reintroduce myself 👋🏻 (pssst…make sure you scroll till the end)

SAVE for later to view my current offerings and how to work with me 1:1 for integrative virtual therapy this season! 😌

I’ve been moving between the east and west coast this season and have reached a point where I am excited to share that I am accepting new virtual therapy clients ❤️.

I know therapy can be expensive and is not always a one-size fits all approach.

If traditional therapy ever felt like just talking about it wasn’t enough, you’re not alone. This therapy is for you if you feel it all: in your body, your nervous system, your breath , not just your mind.

Let’s explore how we can navigate this season together so you don’t have to hold it all alone.

I don’t want to ring myself dry trying to prove something to anyone. What if my intention here on out is simply to express?

To allow pure expression. No censorship or blocking allowed.

Today we contemplate expression together here on the page. The starting point of expression starts with a line, creating letters and endings. In a sentence, there can be a clear beginning and a clear ending.

Housed in a comfy line. I’ve always been someone who struggles with beginnings. Sometimes so much so that I’ll quickly turn towards acquiring new knowledge or new ideas so that I can hover above the truth of my experience glaring at me.

That I do not know how this ends, that I do not know how to see it through. This can be a frustrating discovery and realization, as it pushes me outside my comfort zone.

The truth is that getting started creates a new path of uncertainty. Suddenly, a path has formed, but so has the recognition that another path has come to an end. You exist somewhere between.

When you start, you feel the truth that you are in fact a beginner, perhaps again.

Angst, disgust, fear, grief, excitement. All of it arrives to meet the truth.

If you’re like me and stress out from not being able to have a peak at the probability before you get going in preparation to not waste time (us sensitive folk only have so much energy before our battery runs low)…

I apologize but I believe that there will always be this part of me that glares at the end of a book to prepare myself for any surprises— that’s the kind of risk-averse that we are contemplating here together…and I don’t think it’s a bad thing, but it’s a quality I really want to explore because it pops up in more ways than one and I want to allow curiosity to lead without expectation this season.

Magical moments captured from last month in Portland, Oregon 🌷🌺🌻 the west coast has a slow pace to it that I really enjoy, though the frequency of rain is quite tough for this Ta**us sun/Pisces moon to get used to 😝 be back soon with ❤️
