I have found that writing blogs for the studio can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, trying to keep them relevant and inspiring without circling the same themes over and over again. If you’ve ever taken a class with me, you already know… I tend to come back to acceptance (it’s basically my life’s […]

What I really wanted to call this one was: “If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.” …but it felt a little long for the studio boards (LOL). Still, it’s true. Most of the time, we think we have a lot of problems. We want more money, better food, more time, a bigger […]

In honour of International Women’s Day March 8th, this one is for all of the women out there who will one day be perimenopausal, menopausal, and for the people who love them. Bear with me, as this blog might feel a little self-indulgent, and maybe even TMI. If you’re uncomfortable with talking about change, aging, […]

February often brings conversations about love and self-love—thank you, Valentine’s Day. While those themes have their place, there is another kind of love that deserves our attention this time of year: the love of community. Humans are wired for connection. We thrive when we are seen, supported, and reminded that we don’t have to carry […]

“Mental health matters.” January is famously devoted to health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition — and for good reason. After a season filled with cookies, gravy, eggnog, and the joyful overconsumption of all things sugary, rich, and indulgent, most of us are more than ready for a reset. I know I am. This year, I’ll be […]

Everything is happening for me. By me. Spirit is moving through me. We are what we see, like attracts like. The law of attraction has been talked about for years, especially through books like The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Do we attract what we think? I’m not sure. I’ve imagined winning the lottery for years, […]

Om. Shanti, shanti, shanti.  Lately, all I want is peace. Simple meals, gentle conversations, relationships that feel light and happy. I’ve been leaning into easy—the path of least resistance. These days, I don’t feel the urge to engage in political debates or keep up with every breaking headline. Some might call that avoidance or ignorance. […]

Death has always fascinated me. Scared me. Intrigued me. Perhaps because it forces me to look at myself, my human mortality, my impermanence. What will happen when I’m gone? Will my life have mattered? How will my kids do without me? My husband; will he be ok? My friends, will they remember me fondly? These […]

Self-care September is BACK, people, and I am so ready for it. Honestly, I think I burned through every ounce of my “fun reserves” this summer. Too many adventures, too much go-go-go. And about two weeks into my Scotland trip with three small kids, my mental health just… crashed and burned. Like, full nose-dive into […]

I’ve always loved animals. Their grace, their deep instinctive intuition, their ability to be without overthinking every single moment. There’s a wisdom they carry that we can only access if we get quiet enough to listen. And yet, as humans, we often try to make animals more like us—putting dogs in Halloween costumes (yes, guilty), […]
