Finding Inspiration in a Café

On a crisp winter’s morning, I found myself nestled in a charming café, indulging in a delicious breakfast. For those familiar with my poetry and articles, it comes as no surprise that I often seek solace and inspiration within the walls of these delightful spaces. The notion might seem unusual, but to me, the café… Continue reading Finding Inspiration in a Café

The Healing Journey

Hello beautiful soul, The other day during a session with a client, they stated, “I’m sick and tired of having to do this work.” I felt their frustration as their tears flowed, releasing the hurt and pain.

Lone Wolf

I had a magical moment at a mountain cafe. I was enjoying my coffee and journaling when I saw a man with interesting shoes. They inspired me to write a poem, which I’ll share with you below. As I finished writing, I noticed a woman at the opposite table looking at me. She smiled, and… Continue reading Lone Wolf

Awakening to Self-Love

Word for the Year

January is a good time for reflection, especially now, as Mercury is in retrograde until the 18th of January. It’s a time to slow down, stop ‘doing’ and permit ourselves to ‘be’. Being is a gift as it creates the space to be present and offers much in synchronicity, magic, and self-awareness. Each year, I… Continue reading Word for the Year

Reiki: Universal Energy to Heal, Transform, and Empower

It was fate, I honestly believe, when Reiki first crossed my path. Being a sole parent and working full-time with no immediate family to rely on, certainly wasn’t easy. So, I initially learned Reiki because I wanted to offer healing to my children and keep myself well. I never imagined that it would lead me… Continue reading Reiki: Universal Energy to Heal, Transform, and Empower
