Are You Neglecting Yourself & Resenting Other People?
I low-key starting hating people A number of years ago, I noticed a slow-burning resentment growing in the interactions I had with my husband, my team, and a handful of friends. On the surface, the interactions seemed fine – a normal level of care and interest. Inside my mind, however, I found myself grumbling that […]
try the Tiniest Thing
I don’t have time for that… One of the core parts of my work, after a session, is to give suggestions on habits or practices to try to help people integrate what came up. For example, if we’re talking about jaw pain, it may be a breathing practice or spending time intentionally relaxing the jaw. […]
feature not a bug
Holding Emotion in Your Body: A Feature, Not a Bug It can be very frustrating when you’ve done all the mental processing of an event, only to find out that the emotional energy from it is still living in your body and causing a problem. It can feel like a bug in our development as […]
Finding Your own desire
Have you ever finally had some time to yourself, to do what YOU want to do, and find yourself… stuck? A lot of my clients struggle with figuring out what they actually want to do when they have the time for themselves. We can work through the self-worth issues, the self-sabotage, the deservingness, but at […]
Can You Let People Feel Their Feelings?
(or, let people you *trust* feel their feelings) Have you ever NOT told someone a truth – that they had a right to know – because you didn’t want to make them feel bad? How much time do you spend trying to manage YOUR behaviour to stop people around you from having feelings you don’t […]
Dumb Is Only an Insult in Capitalism

If someone calls you dumb, it feels like an insult, right? But why? Why is dumb […]
Not Everyone Has Your Context
Realisation About Journeys This is one of those ‘obvious realisations’… a realisation that, when you have it, feels like it’s so obvious you can’t believe you haven’t had it before. I’m sharing this one in case there’s someone else for whom this isn’t yet obvious. This particular one is specifically relating to spirituality, but I […]
What are your guardrails?
Have you seen ‘From’? (If not, beware spoilers from the show are in here – broad spoilers, but still spoilers) It’s about a random collection of people who end up in a town that they can’t leave, with monsters that come out at night to hunt them. Across the seasons, there have been a couple […]
Your Body Can’t Hold Suffering of 8 Billion People
Some weird responses to the LA fires CW: If you or anyone close to you is/was directly affected by the LA fires, you may want to know I’m including some of the unkind comments I’ve seen about it in this first section, in case you want to skip to the ‘Why Were They Responding This […]
False New Year
Are you feeling the New Year? A few years ago I started paying more attention to the environmental energy I felt on a daily / weekly / monthly basis. I’m nowhere near a perfectly cycle-synced earth queen, but I’ve gotten better at noticing how I felt / what my energy is naturally doing in each […]
