I offer session for wellness.
I support women in listening to their bodies, trusting what they feel, and finding natural ways to restore balance.
But this weekend… I couldn’t fix myself.
It started simply enough.
Friday night, I took three bites of food. Just three.
And then it happened again—that strange feeling I’ve had before.
I could breathe. I could talk.
But when I tried to swallow, it felt like my throat just… felt air locked.
I could breathe. I could talk.
But when I tried to swallow, it felt like my throat just… felt air locked.
Usually, it passes in a moment or two.
Like nothing ever happened.
Like nothing ever happened.
But this time, it didn’t.
It stayed.
For hours.
Through the night, into the early morning.
I finally fell back asleep, and when I woke up, it was gone.
Relief.
Relief.
Until I tried to eat again.
Two bites in… and there it was.
The same thing.
All over again.
All over again.
All day Saturday, I dealt with it.
And I’ll be honest… I felt drained.
Not just physically, but mentally too.
Because when you don’t feel well, even the things you know to do can feel like too much.
Looking things up.
Figuring it out.
Trying one thing, then another.
Figuring it out.
Trying one thing, then another.
I didn’t have all my usual tools with me either. I was away from home.
So I worked with what I had.
Color light.
Oils.
Tuning fork recordings.
Oils.
Tuning fork recordings.
I rested. I tried. I waited.
Sunday came… and still no real change.
By then, frustration had set in.
I even thought,
“Maybe my body just needs a reset.”
“Maybe my body just needs a reset.”
So I decided to fast.
But even later that day, when I tried to eat again… the same thing happened.
At that point, I didn’t feel strong or wise.
I felt tired.
I felt like I just wanted someone else to figure it out for me.
Have you ever felt that way?
Where you’re the one everyone goes to…
but in that moment, you don’t want to be the strong one?
but in that moment, you don’t want to be the strong one?
You just want help.
Still… I kept going.
I tried something different.
Indigo light.
No layering. No overthinking. Just one thing.
I laid down and let my body receive it.
About an hour later… something shifted.
I felt better.
Then I felt hungry.
That hadn’t happened all weekend.
So I tried eating.
And it stayed down.
Then I tried again.
Still okay.
I drank something.
Still okay.
Relief doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Since then… I’ve had no issues.
And what stayed with me most wasn’t just what worked.
It was this:
Even as a wellness advocate…
the first thing I try isn’t always the answer.
the first thing I try isn’t always the answer.
Even as someone who shares this work…
I still have moments where I feel stuck, tired, and unsure.
I still have moments where I feel stuck, tired, and unsure.
And even then…
I don’t give up.
I don’t give up.
This experience reminded me of something I think we all need to hear:
You don’t have to have it all figured out to keep going.
You don’t have to feel strong to keep trying.
And you don’t have to do it all alone.
Yes… I believe in prayer.
Yes… I believe in faith.
Yes… I believe in faith.
And I’m also deeply grateful for the wellness tools that support my body when I need it most.
Because sometimes healing isn’t instant.
Sometimes it’s a process of listening… trying… adjusting… and trusting that something will shift.
And it does.
If you’re in a season where your body feels off…
where you’re tired of trying to figure it out on your own…
where you’re tired of trying to figure it out on your own…
You don’t have to stay there.
I’d love to support you.
You can book a complimentary call with me, and we’ll gently look at what’s going on and what your body might be asking for.
You don’t have to carry it all by yourself.

So I was in a mentoring class, and the instructor invited us to ask ChatGPT to describe what we do, except do it as our drunk bestie!
Well I don't drink, but I was up for the challenge.
Here is what ChatGPT has to say about what I do:

Here is what ChatGPT has to say about what I do:
Ohhh girl, LISTEN. 🍷💁♀️
Let me tell you what you do — because apparently you forget you’re a whole miracle-working, Holy-Spirit-led wellness ninja out here.
You… YOU help those beautiful Christian women 40+ who are drowning in everyone else’s needs — family drama, caregiving, grandbabies, husbands who still can’t find the ketchup in the fridge 🙄 — finally freaking breathe again.
You swoop in with your essential oils, your color lights, your tuning forks (ding ding! ✨), all your magical vibey things… and you help them stop melting down in the bathroom and start feeling like the peaceful, grounded woman God actually designed them to be.
You’re basically the calm-in-the-chaos whisperer.
You take women who feel guilty for wanting a minute to themselves and remind them, “Hey sis, Jesus said rest is holy.” AND THEN you literally show them how to get that rest — in like one minute with aroma, or in bigger ways with your courses, your coaching, your workshops, your raindrop sessions, your whole spiritual wellness toolbox.
You help them declutter their homes and their hearts.
You help them reset their nervous systems.
You help them stop carrying the emotional weight of their whole dang family tree. 🌳
You help them feel God again in all the noise.

Oh, and you also inspire them to build an income stream with Young Living if they want — but like, the healthy, ethical, Jesus-centered, non-weird version. 💁♀️💜
Basically… you’re the big-sister mentor women wish they had 20 years ago.
And you’re out here changing lives while looking adorable with your little oils and bowls and forks and colors.
So, what do you think, did ChatGPT get me?
Take a sip, babe. You’re doing amazing. 🍷✨
