Returning to Wholeness and Deep Connection
Maybe you’ve felt it too — that quiet, steady call back to something deeper, wilder, richer, truer.
Last year, I started a TikTok account, following advice from my mentors and coaches. The account grew from 0 to 17k followers in just a few months. And just as quickly, I started feeling completely repelled by the personal growth industry.
I got to a point where even calling myself a “coach” gave me the ick.
I couldn’t write the “hooks” the way you’re taught for virality — it felt gross. And I couldn’t watch one more video telling me ‘how to X in 7 steps’ or what I needed to stop doing 🙄.
But here was the juice and my ha-ha:
How could I feel so repelled by that kind of content and messaging… and still be creating it myself?! It made me cringe and shrink inside.
I was burning out doing something I love because I wasn’t doing it in a way that I LOVED. In a way that aligned with me and my values. That honored my unique way of being, of doing, and my vision. And I ended up resenting it.
So I stepped away and took a long-ass break. Almost a year. And when I came back, I deleted my TT account. Sayonara.
Now I am back on the Instagram wagon, but I’m not just sharing my art and paintings, I’m sharing more of my whole work and artistry — what I’ve been doing for nearly 10 years now! At first as a side-job (I started out teaching yoga) and eventually full-time:
guiding sensitive, creative women along their journey of coming home to themselves.
Through embodiment work and Reiki healing. Through body, soul, and feminine wisdom.
This isn’t a “new path”. It’s just one I hand’t fully let IG see before.
I’ve reshaped my business for it to be and feel 1000% congruent, truthful and nourishing — for me and for the people who come into my space.
I’m not going to lose my voice to all the noise again. And I’m not going to bloody conform to any expert advice my body says to no. That’s what to me is SUCCESS.
I’ve met the most incredible beings in online spaces — my soul family tbh. And I still believe that heart-to-heart connection and deep, authentic, tender, imperfect, human conversations are possible online.
Whether I’m sharing a blog post, a caption, an online class or a 1-to-1 session with a client, I’m here to co-create opportunities and a space where we celebrate wholeness, whole being, and aliveness in all their delicious contrasts and dualities.
That's why I'm so stoked for our upcoming Women's Circle on May 7. (Past event — registration is now closed)
A space for sensitive women who are feeling the call to magic. Who are journeying back to wholeness, abundance, nature, and vibrance. We'll gather together on Zoom to move, breathe, ground and rewild — connecting with body and soul wisdom. Register here, it’s free. (Past event — registration’s closed)
As a Projector, I’m not here for surface-level anything. And probably you’re not either.
I’m also a Scorpio rising Scorpio... so you do the math.
I’m here to share the most unfiltered, undiluted (and dare I say, magical) version of me. To support, serve, inspire, and express from the depths of truth. As deep as I can go.
That’s my commitment.
If you’re here for the pivots, the messy evolution, the many many iterations, and the genuine, human-ness and imperfection — thank you.
And welcome, wildheart.
I appreciate you more than you know.
