Hi Reader,

I just returned from a beautiful, soul-soothing stay at a quiet B&B near Shenandoah National Park and I’m still floating from the experience.

It was one of those rare weeks where rest was the plan, not the afterthought.
Sun-drenched mornings reading Women Who Run With the Wolves (finally!).
Slow swims, early yoga in a field overlooking majestic stallions.
A long 8-mile hike through the park followed by a walk through Skyline Caverns—cool, deep, and quiet. Just six of us, moving in silence past ancient waters and colorful light.

The stillness reminded me: peace is always right here. Even in the depths.

Back at the inn, everything was intentional. Five-course meals made with love, served like artwork—colorful, soft, nourishing. I got to peek into the kitchen (you know how much I love kitchens), and what I found was presence. The same quiet clarity I feel in meditation or on my mat.

Preparing food was the practice.

And connection—the kind that feels like family after five minutes.

Done with care, clarity, and a devotion to those you serve.

And that’s what I’m carrying into this new week:
The reminder that being human can be soulful.

That rest is connection.
And when we slow down, we meet ourselves—and each other—fully.

And I’d love to invite you into something special tomorrow.

💫 Sound Healing & Summer Sweat
​ Monday, July 21 – FREE Virtual Event

I’m teaming up with my dear friend Cara D’Orazo of CGM Fitness for a unique experience that blends movement, healing, and rest.

✨ Begin with her uplifting virtual strength class (think: good vibes, not high pressure)
✨ Then I’ll guide a calming sound bath to help you transition into your evening
✨ You’ll also learn a bit about Reiki and leave with a restorative pose to carry you through the week

To join us:
​Just reply to this email with your name + email, and I’ll send you the Zoom link tomorrow morning.

And if you’re feeling called to explore a more personal path to rest, renewal, and grounded living...

I invite you to schedule a complimentary Stillness Mapping Call, a gentle 30-minute session where we’ll explore what support looks like for you right now.

There’s no pressure—just space to reconnect with yourself and find a rhythm that feels nourishing and real.
