Transform Powerlessness Into Sovereignty Over Your Life and Healing 🌿✨ ​Yesterday’s session was led by a powerful Sacred Scent reading that hit right at the center of somatic healing. ​When you’ve spent years in a silent battle against your own body, exhaustion doesn’t just live in the physical frame—it sinks into the spirit. Combined with the heavy, unexpressed grief that so often accompanies those struggles, it can leave you feeling completely depleted, isolated, and stripped of your own power. ​Here is the story the cards brought forward for this sweet soul: ​🔥 Shadow (The Foundation): Cistus — The Phoenix Illuminates a bone-deep nervous system fatigue from years of fighting her own physical body. Cistus steps in to hold space for the raw shock before the true transformation begins—burning down the old so rebirth can take hold. ​🌸 Heart & Womb: Geranium — The Healer Pulled to gently mend heartbreak, soft-weaving comfort directly into the heart and womb spaces to process quiet grief and restore tenderness. ​👑 Solar Plexus: Bergamot — The Sovereign Arrived as a fierce reminder: even when you feel stripped of will, you hold the crown. Healing begins when we reclaim authority over our own path. ​🪵 Root & Sanctuary: Myrrh — The Elder Highlighting the reality of leaning on loved ones who simply cannot always carry our weight. Myrrh teaches us the medicine of sacred self-anchoring—reminding us that while external support is a blessing, being able to hold and back ourselves is where true safety lives. ​In the Room: ​We began her somatic session by diffusing and inhaling a grounding blend of Cistus, Geranium, and Myrrh. Almost instantly, her nervous system dropped out of fight-or-flight. Her shoulders lowered, her breath deepened, and she sank into a state of profound rest so the real bodywork could begin. ​We closed the session with an empowering, light-restoring blend focused heavily on Bergamot, balanced with Geranium and Cistus—sending her back into the world anchored in her own strength. ​To anyone currently feeling at war with their own body: your sovereignty is still yours to claim, and your body is listening. ​Which of these botanicals feels like the medi

The "Why" behind the High Five 🖐️✨

​Decades ago, long before becoming a parent, a single revelation defined my life's work: physical pain often stems from stored trauma, and intentional bodywork can set it free. I knew then my calling was to bridge psychotherapy, somatic psychology, and hands-on massage.

​Being a solo parent to three made the journey more challenging and has slowed it down at times, but it has also redirected my motivation. At the beginning of this month, I opened the High Five Grant application with no real intent to finish it due to intrusive limiting beliefs telling me no one would believe in my vision.

​Attending a recent women’s networking event centered on "Becoming Her" was the push I needed. It proved to me that fear doesn't get to run the show, that we don't win big by playing small, and that I have the opportunity to show my kids, Jillian, Lilah, and Everett, what it looks like to believe in yourself and play big by following through on your dreams.

​So, I went back and completed the application.
​Today, I’m synthesizing decades of clinical experience into Sacred Scent, a card system rooted in aromatherapy, archetypal psychology, and somato-emotional mapping that brings clinical self-care tools into daily life.
​Winning this grant will directly transform my practice and help bring this vision to life by funding:

• ​An electric hydraulic lift table for client safety during Craniosacral therapy and my own practitioner longevity.

​• Sourcing pure, GC/MS-tested therapeutic essential oils.

• ​Graphic design for layout, finalizing the print run of the deck, and companion product development.

​Pictured here: here’s a high five from a ma@ in her massage room! On the table is a look at the original artwork created in collaboration with a talented local Yuma artist for Sacred Scent Oracle.

​Thank you for walking this journey with me!

NEW Business cards ordered with the new logo!

So this was a little something new I tried in October — a super soft launch of an idea I’ve been carrying for almost 10 years. It’s one of those offerings that lived in my mind and heart for so long, and I finally decided to give it a go… just to see what would unfold. And honestly? It went beautifully. I learned a lot (mostly about how to fine-tune the flow), but it was a success in every way that mattered.
✨ Touch of Love is a massage workshop for couples — a cozy, beginner-friendly space for three couples at a time to learn simple, practical massage techniques while reconnecting with each other on a deeper level. It’s part body awareness, part communication, part intimacy, and part playful date-night energy.
Most couples try dance lessons, painting nights, cooking classes… this is like that, but with a skill you can keep giving to each other long after the workshop ends. In today’s world (and economy), learning how to truly support your partner’s body is not only meaningful, it’s useful.
This workshop is designed to help partners:
• slow down and actually feel each other again
• strengthen trust, presence, and touch-based communication
• understand tension, stress, and where emotion lives in the body
• learn safe and effective entry-level massage skills
• bring more connection, care, and intention into their relationship
It’s fun, lighthearted, intimate, a little educational, and honestly such a beautiful thing to witness couples experience together.
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be opening a few Touch of Love workshops in the new year — with the first round beginning in February. Details and sign-ups will be coming soon, and I cannot wait to grow this offering into something even more special.
If you’ve been wanting a date night that actually feeds your relationship… this might be the one. 💛
