At seven months pregnant, I have witnessed my body move through many stages of change that are happening without any thought involved. Some good, some not so good. A few nights ago, I was on the couch talking to my partner about some of the intrusive anxious thoughts I was having about the anticipation of […]
As I sit down to write, I can’t help but gaze outside at the gloomy weather. It’s a brutal day of 8 degrees with thick clouds and thick snow underfoot. Some people absolutely love this weather; more time snuggled up next to the fireplace under a warm blanket with those you love. However, this time […]
Balanced. Enlightened. Refreshed. These are the sensations I felt after my first Reiki session. And I can proudly say that I haven’t felt like the same person since. From that day forward, Reiki is one of the most invaluable healing methods on my journey toward contentment and well-being. The Japanese term “Reiki” can quite literally […]
You have probably heard the term “trigger” before. It’s become quite the buzzword, whether in casual conversation or in therapy. But I want to take this opportunity to talk to you about its sister word: glimmer. What’s a glimmer? It’s a cue that signals safety and security. One that creates a sense of internal peace […]
Today at the grocery store, I was maneuvering my cart around and found myself blocked by someone walking slowly and taking up most of the aisle. I waited patiently in silence until he saw me and then said, “I’m sorry,” when he moved to make space for me to walk through. At that moment, I […]
If I asked you to sit and truly feel your emotions for what they were, would you know what to do? So many of us struggle with this or are completely repulsed by the idea itself. In the words of one of my clients, “Emotions? Gross!” When we lack emotional tolerance, we usually end up […]

When I mention the words “self-compassion,” many clients […]
Sing with me… “Jingle bells, jingle bells! COVID smells, 2020 was a rotten egg. Oh, what fun it was to hide, all year, every day, EY!” Someone needs to get on creating a holiday jingle for 2020… This year will go down in the history books. Nothing about it was “normal.” Nothing felt simple or […]
I can trace my first introduction to the practice of Yoga back to the now defunct teen magazine called Jump: For Girls Who Dare To Be Real. Each edition had a page that highlighted a specific pose with a pleasant illustration, a description of how to practice the pose, and most importantly, how to cultivate […]
This year has been a wild ride. In early January, like many of us, I thought: “2020 doesn’t know what’s coming for her! A new decade, with new intentions, new goals, and new adventures”. Well, 2020 had other plans. When Covid hit, I found out that my partner, a physician, was needed on the frontlines […]
