Sometimes what we THINK we need isn't what we ACTUALLY need.
This morning, all I wanted to do was sleep in. Instead, I was up before the sun. So, I threw my chaotic morning curls into a messy bun, pulled on a giant sweatshirt, brewed some coffee, and headed up to the beach for the sunrise. I surrendered my want for what was being given.
Still a bit disgruntled at my shift in plans, I arrived to an empty stretch of sand and a gorgeous burgeoning dawn. And, there, I sat drinking in the seaside sunrise and its intuitive whispers, welcoming in the guidance and insights that otherwise would have escaped me had I pursued what I thought I needed instead of surrendering what was being given.
♡ May you, too, be given what you ACTUALLY need today and find the courage to surrender ♡

50% mindful movement, and 50% breathwork, meditation, vagus nerve techniques, and self-calming methods, this trauma-informed, all-levels class is worth trying. You're bound to take away something valuable to aid you in the week ahead.
Today's challenge: Can I stand firmly in the knowledge that I deserve the love and kindness that I give so freely to others? Join me. Only for this day, I will task myself to ask for myself as others ask of me, and know that only those who truly love and hold me will arise to the occasion with the same gusto I show in being there for them. As a giver and a do'er, as an empath and an intuitive, as a dedicated friend and an all-in lover, as a mom, I give genuinely, willingly, and abundantly to others every day, all day without a shred of hesitation. It's an honor to give and share light and love, to be someone's safe place to be vulnerable, to witness the brightness return to someone after simply being a kind fellow human. BUT in being there reliably for everyone else, can I do the same for myself? Can I trust that those who receive will give without resentment? Can I trust that they will catch me? Can I release and fall into that soft, loving space I hold for others and allow them the honor of seeing and giving to me? Today -- just for today -- I will.
Reiki is more than light and energy. It's healing. It's release. It's restoring. It's coming into alignment. It's coming back into the center of you. The you that exists beyond the shoulds and coulds, the musts and mustn'ts, the pains and traumas, the obligations and burdens, the boxes and roles. The eternal you. The truth of you. The love of YOU. Receive insights, guidance, healing, and clarity as you move into wellness in all ways through reiki. You deserve it. Your self is calling♡ DM me to inquire about scheduling your in-person or live-virtual reiki session for June.
Come join us for a grounding, restorative practice that will give you not just calm and connectedness, but tools to center yourself. Because you deserve it♡ Don't forget to pre-register: GWDC.PUNCHPASS

Breath work. It's my jam. Why? It's free. It's accessible. It's always with us. It's incredibly powerful in this sneakily easy way. It's often almost imperceptible in practice. It just works! Come join my Sunday 3pm and my Wednesday Wednesday 5pm yoga classes at Greater Washington Dance Center to learn self-calming breathwork techniques that you can take into your everyday life.
Doesn't every yoga class look like this as students filter in?🤣 I mean, yoga was designed for warriors after all 🤷♀️😄
Need a little earth, water, tree energy? This is it. Turn on the sound. Close your eyes. Breathe deep into the belly/hips. Listen♡
