You're MADE to feel good.

You're MADE to feel good.

From age 13-23 I was in this cycle with my body: -Emotional eating. -Grabbing unhealthy, convenient foods that made me feel temporarily satisfied. -Overeating to the point of feeling gross. -Hate putting on clothes because everything felt tight. -Feeling guilty, horrible, embarrassed in my body. -Get a surge of inspiration to kick my own butt at the gym. -Doing it for a week or two. -Give up. -Repeat. I remember looking at healthy/fit women and dreaming about how good it must

I believe in you.

I believe in you.

Matters of health and the body are deeply vulnerable. Unfortunately, there’s not much tenderness in typical western medicine. Most of us never experience going to a doctor and feeling emotionally held, supported or encouraged. Most of us never experience true presence. But I believe these things are KEY to healing. We all need a place to explore not only the physical matters of health, but also the mental, energetic and spiritual aspects. We need a place to explore how our be

I'm a Student of my Body

I'm a Student of my Body

I’m a constant student of my body. Last week I was making breakfast and opening a fresh jar of jam. I opened it so hard that my wrist screamed in pain and felt achy and tender after. When I moved in certain ways she’d scream again. So the rest of the week I’ve been babying her and WOW, have I been noticing a lot about myself through this. How freaking fast I move through life. How I'll push myself to the brink of hurting myself. How I rarely ask for help. The body is such an

Let your struggle turn into something beautiful.

Let your struggle turn into something beautiful.

Your pain. Your dis-ease. Your weight. Your sensitivity. Your ungroundedness. Those things are not your weaknesses. They’re your invitations. Your opportunity to rise. To elevate. To deepen. To listen. Like Rumi says, “The wound is the place where the light enters.” Let your struggle be the place where the light enters you. Let that struggle bloom into a flower. Let it turn into something beautiful. #compassion #healing #selfhealing #transformation

What are you craving?

What are you craving?

Color is so important to me. I don’t understand why more things in life aren’t colorful. Like why are 90% of the houses beige? Why are there not colorful murals everywhere? Why are most of our clothing options as adults lacking color, sparkles and fun? Color brings life and energy, that’s why I love it so much. I can just feel the energy emanating out from my paintings - that’s why I make them!! What are you craving from the world? Maybe you’re craving it cuz it’s YOURS to br

Being in Integrity

Being in Integrity

Last weekend I attended a very powerful channeling event put on by my friend Vanessa Petronelli. One of the most amazing things I received from it was a totally new perspective on the word “integrity” and what it means to be in true integrity with yourself. Integrity is when you choose to do or say something that is aligned with what you know is your highest and best. When we are choosing against ourselves and our inner knowing, we are out of integrity. When we continue to ma

When to feel it and when to rewire it.

When to feel it and when to rewire it.

Our thoughts are very powerful. When we think a thought repeatedly, over many many years, it begins to form a groove in our brain that makes the thought come more easily and more naturally. Thoughts have the power to trigger physiological response in the body too. So quite literally our thoughts create our entire reality, including our physical and emotional reality. If you want to read more about this I recommend this book. So, when is it best to change our thoughts to chang

Full Body Learning - How to create lasting change

Full Body Learning - How to create lasting change

Learning something with the mind is not enough for lasting change. If we really want deep transformation, if we really want deep integration of new tools, we have to feel it with our bodies too. We need to have experiences, so the knowing moves down into our whole system. Because at this time on the planet when we have Google at our fingertips, information is not enough. Learning something new goes in one ear and easily out the other. Experiencing something powerful stays wit

Reducing pain with your Mind

Reducing pain with your Mind

Your most powerful currency is where you put your focus. Your focus is pure consciousness. Your focus shapes your reality. Your focus brings energy wherever it goes. Your focus heals. When we have pain or discomfort our first instinct is to avoid it with our mind because (duh), it doesn’t feel good. But through my healing journey, I’ve found the exact opposite to be the most powerful choice. In 2015, before I was diagnosed, I remember crying in pain on the toilet one specific

Self-Healing + Meditation

Self-Healing + Meditation

Hi Friends! I’m a passionate believer in the power we have to heal ourselves with our focused minds. I first discovered this with my own body in 2015 when my Ulcerative Colitis symptoms started getting really bad. I was in so much physical pain, I couldn't escape it anymore and I couldn't ignore it like I had been. I realized there was only one option left...to send my focused mind and awareness directly into the center of it. It was the only thing I hadn't tried. And so I di

The Body Bridge Experience - Enrollment Open!

Many of you have commented, so lovingly, on the videos Josh and I have been creating together lately. Thank you so much. Below is the Full 5 Minute Video :) It is really cool to come together on this project, and be captured by someone who truly gets me and my vision at the deepest level. What a gift you are to all of us, Josh McMurtrie <3 For the last 5 years I’ve taken many trainings to refine my skills as a coach. But for some reason I never really resonated with that word

Meet the Universe where it's at.

Today I woke up with this heavy feeling.... A tiredness and a resistance I haven't felt in a while. I tried talking about it, that didn't help. I tried moving, that didn't help. And then I remembered something..."Meet the Universe where it's at." I sat down at my meditation spot, closed my eyes and just felt it. Holding space for it to just be, without the pressure of me trying to shut it out or "heal" it. It actually felt good to just surrender to it. As I sat with this en

Self-Love and the Body

Self-Love and the Body

Who can really argue with Self-Love being a good thing? I can’t either, but I must admit, before, it just felt like fluff. Yes, I *should* love my body, because it’s good to be loving, but that never really gave me a true connection to it. The thing that really turned it around for me was getting debilitatingly sick. We forget how much our bodies do for us, we take them for granted, we use them, we abuse them - until we are in pain. For the first time in my life I began to lo

Working on this piece has literally expanded my brain. When I think of artists like Alex Grey who have massive, detailed, layered creations I can't even imagine the brilliance it takes to hold the entire vision all at once and then bring it to life over days, months, possibly years of time. I stared at this piece for hours when it was all pencil, and envisioned about 1000 different things I could do, directions I could take, choices I could make. Seeing infinite possibilities

The Creative Catalyst

The Creative Catalyst

This time last year I wasn't painting at all. I didn't know what to paint. I was bored with it. I would start with something and within 2 minutes think "I don't like this", get frustrated that I "wasn't good", and then give up. Two big things happened that shifted everything: 1) I started watching old reruns of "The Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross and I watched his technique. I saw how he layered, one step at a time, adding things to the overall image. An amazing painter like
