Being seen
Last winter I co-facilitated a workshop with my dear friend, Rianne Vestuto, and during our preparations she said something really profound that stuck with me. She said, “It’s so vulnerable to lead.”
Restoring balance
Happy 13th day of March! I’ve been seeing the number 13 a lot today, which is a number associated with the divine feminine. One of the most profound keys to healing is to simply re-connect to the divine feminine within.
Being a channel
My first memory of moving energy was as a kid—directing pain from my body outward onto my bed. I saw my discomfort as tiny particles of lights and I was pleasantly surprised to feel relief.
Song Circle
When we gather on the full moon with the intention of healing, pure magic is made manifest. I’ve experienced this time and time again.
The antidote
We are all energetically sensitive beings. But most of us have subconsciously learned to dull our sensitivity in order to cope with a world that feels overwhelmingly harsh.
Why heal in community?
In many ways, I’ve considered myself a bit of a lone wolf—an outsider. But haven’t you felt that way, too?
Unfolding your voice
Did you know that your voice is a snowflake? Every single voice is unique due to your genetics, the dimensions of your face, and the shape of your body. No one on Earth has a voice like yours.
Calm is cumulative
With the turn of the calendar year, we may be tempted by the idea of sudden transformation. While that is absolutely possible, more often than not, profound change happens over time, and with consistency and frequency.

The following review was published in the 2024 Conscious City Guide.
Pure potential
This week we arrive at the Winter Solstice, the day when our Northern Hemisphere tilts as far away as possible from the sun. Also called Midwinter, this is the shortest day and the longest night of the year for those of us in the north.
Grief is only love
I recently met singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. at his concert on the Lower East Side. We talked about sound healing and I explained how different instruments create unique vibrations that reach distinct areas of the body—physically and energetically.
Embracing disconnect to reconnect
Recently, I left my house without my phone. Although I’m old enough to have once been a functioning adult without a cellphone, it felt very strange to be out and about without my constant companion.
Being a tree
Here in the northeast, the leaves have begun to change color and fall gracefully toward Mother Earth. While this beautiful and age-old phenomenon appears, on the surface, to be a passive detachment, it actually involves intentional actions from the tree, including the release of certain hormones causing each leaf to separate from its branch.
When times feel heavy (a poem)
When times feel heavy
Remember that you are not Atlas
Made to hold the heavens upon your shoulders.
Why I love Friday the 13th
Did you know that, in many ancient cultures, 13 is the number of the divine feminine? This is because the moon has 13 cycles per calendar year and, on average, women have 13 menstrual cycles per year, as well.
