Spring Reawakening
Hello, here we are on the brink of Spring (and mud season)! The sun is brighter and warmer, the days longer and the air more fragrant. Although time has passed - and so much has changed in my physical body and our environment - I am doing my best to stay in alignment with the mindset of awe and connection that I wrote from last month. I’m happy to say, I feel like I have stepped out onto the “other side” of these early postpartum months. I have slowly returned to work, reconnecting with some...
Anchoring Ourselves with Awe and Connection
Hi Reader, Can you feel the sun getting brighter and the days getting longer? How about the hint of Spring in these warmer days? Yes, even though there has been wind, ice, rain, maybe some cabin fever, political chaos, likely some existential questioning and your own personal struggles... there is still power in noticing the changing light and the sun getting higher and higher each week! This isn’t to gloss over our struggles and challenges, but to give us an anchor, something to ground into...
An Invitation to Pause
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays and year end brought joy, light and some rest, even in this season of cold and darkness. As the new year begins there can be a sense of rush - to get going on your year’s to dos, to have a word of the year picked out, or to have new goals to achieve. If that is where you’re genuinely at and feeling energized and ready, then go get ‘em! But if that’s not where you’re at, like me, then I hope you can use this month to pause, move slowly and be present in the...
Year End Slow Down
Hello December, a month that brings us to the year's end... The past month as a new family of 4 has been so full! After being humbled the first week and realizing how basic and slow I had to start my recovery, I’m using my own reminders of starting small. I've been returning to movement and breath basics through: ABCs (alignment, breathing and core connection) gentle rehab and recovery stretches rolling to release tension that builds up from feeding and holding our cute baby and mindful rest...
November News: New Baby, New Look, New Resources
Hello, here we are in November! It is with a full heart that I share big joy and love right alongside grief and surrendering to life as it is. We welcomed Liam Girard to the world on Saturday November 9th at 12:11am. Our delivery ended in a different way than I hoped and was extremely difficult on my body. So now, I’m really practicing slowing down, accepting help and generally focusing on healing in these early day and weeks. My heart is full as my body and psyche are starting the road...
See You Later!
Hi Reader, Time seems to be flying by and I have finished with my final week of work with clients!! I will tidy up some admin tasks next week, get my office ready for subletting and fully transition into maternity leave as we wait for our baby to arrive! So this is just see you later I come out of newborn hibernation. In the meantime, Sarah will be taking the reigns to stay in touch monthly with short blurbs from me so we can stay connected. I'll be sure to share the exciting news of our...
A couple of reminders...
Hi Reader, Tomorrow is the fall equinox and I'm definitely feeling the shift as the light and leaves change, though we did get to soak up summer until the last drop with warm sun and warm temps! I hope you are savoring the abundance this season is bringing and are feeling grounded as we get to the equinox and really shift into fall. I loved this post on Instagram from Katherine May the other day and especially love the slide that says: If you would like to join a practice to support this...
Summer shifting into fall abundance...
Hi Reader, Change is in the air, literally and figuratively. The mornings are more chilly and foggy, if you're an early riser you're also noticing the sunrise happening after 6am these days, schedules are shifting especially if you are intertwined with schools, and you might be craving a return to new routines after summer travel or visitors. Whatever you are going through, the transition from summer towards fall tends to be a prominent shift; no matter how long we have been out of school...
Summer
Hi Reader, What a gorgeous spring we have had; the return of leaves and the blossoming of flowers and life paired with bright blue skies has really grounded me this season (and also here's to the coming rain!). I hope you are finding moments of joy and calm, or just general mindfulness, when outside. Taking time to notice the world around you and how you respond to the changing environment is such a key to an embodiment and wellness practice; even just 3 breaths of this kind of connection to...
Spring Renewal
Hi Reader, The last time I sent a full newsletter, it was the middle of winter and I was in a low spot. Life has not been all good since then, but I have felt more balanced and grounded through the ups and downs we have had. And I have been reminded over and over that I am not alone. A big thank you for your support and compassion after my last newsletter. How have you been in this transition from winter to spring? Each season and transition from one season to the next holds such energy and...
