I love having my alone time each morning enjoying my tea and starting my meditation, reading, journaling and light stretching. As I have created a routine that works for me it has brought so much clarity, love and support into my daily life! I believe we all need to find that special place within us that connects us directly to source. Having this connections allows me to have a deep love and understanding to those I serve so they too can feel they are enough and loved. Read More>>

Due to my involvement in the mental health field, self-care has become a necessity rather than a tool for my own mental wellness. I serve as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) for a high demand organization providing individual and family therapy as well as seeing clients through my own private practice, so my bandwidth is usually depleted after a long work week. To replenish my energy and regain grounding I rely on spending quiet time with God, attending social outings with family and friends, and taking a global vacation at least once every year. I’ve also developed a routine in enjoying weekly solo dates which gives me time to just “be” without the need to tend to others. Read More>>

I think this is especially important in my field because I work with a ton of power tools and complicated techniques. Read More>>
