    What Does It Mean to Feel Free in Your Body?

    July 3, 2026July 3, 2026

    It’s almost the 4th of July here in the United States. And it’s a big birthday celebration.  Two hundred and fifty years of a country declaring itself free.  Fireworks, parades, potato salad, and somewhere underneath all of it — a question worth sitting with. What does freedom actually feel like? Not the political kind. Not…

    When Trauma Hijacks Our Judgments

    July 7, 2025July 7, 2025

    Last month, we explored “The Courage to Feel”—the vital ability to stay present with our emotions rather than bypassing them.

    March 19, 2025May 27, 2025

    I heard the phrase, love and joy are acts of defiance from an online teacher, and it has been echoing in my mind ever since. Maybe because I’m clinging to it in the face of the chaos in the world. Maybe because, deep down, I know it’s true. Love and joy are not passive states;…

    When Trauma Reshapes Your Connections

    January 22, 2025January 26, 2025

    Understanding Trauma and Its Impact on Your Connections Medical trauma doesn’t just live in your body—it echoes into your relationships, reshaping how you connect with others and influencing your emotional connections.

    They Said You Were Making It Up. You Weren’t

    January 9, 2025June 29, 2026

    How many times have you been told your pain isn’t real? That you are making it up. Medical gaslighting is one of the most damaging experiences a woman can have with the healthcare system. “It’s just in your head.”“You’re overreacting.”“The tests look fine.” Each of these phrases might seem innocuous to the person saying them,…

    Was Hahnemann Ahead Of His Time

    January 20, 2024September 17, 2024

    I was at a workshop the other day, not health or homeopathic-related, and I heard the speaker talk about vibrational medicine. That it was the new frontier of health, and that soon it would be commonplace. Soon everyone would be using it. The comments made me both laugh and cry. Hahnemann likely rolled in his…
