Hi Reader, One of the most common things I hear after a sound healing session is: “I wasn’t expecting to cry… but I did.” Or: “I felt something shift. It’s hard to explain… but something moved. I feel different, better..” Sound healing opens a doorway—not just to rest, but to release. Here’s why... As we explored earlier, sound reaches your nervous system through the vagus nerve, and stimulates the parasympathetic response: safety, rest, digestion, regulation. But when your body begins to...

Hi Reader, If you’ve been feeling the pull toward healing—but also the fear of going that deep—you’re not alone. I’ve heard it again and again from the women I support: “I thought I had already dealt with this.”“I don’t know if I’m ready to go there.”“I’m scared of what might come up if I really let go.” And here’s the truth… You’re not stuck.You’re still protecting yourself. When we’ve been through trauma—especially narcissistic abuse—our nervous systems learn to hold on tightly to what...

Hi Reader, Let’s take a deeper dive into the why behind sound healing—because while it may feel magical, there’s solid science that explains why it works so beautifully, especially for trauma survivors. At the center of it all is your nervous system—and more specifically, the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in your body, connecting your brainstem to your heart, lungs, digestive tract, and—interestingly—your ears. That’s right: part of the vagus nerve innervates the...

Hi Reader, Have you ever opened your mouth to share something meaningful… and suddenly the memory slipped through your fingers? Maybe the sequence felt out of order.Maybe entire pieces were missing.Maybe your brain just… froze. If that sounds familiar, I want you to hear this: There is nothing wrong with you.You’re not exaggerating.You’re not forgetful.You’re not losing your mind. You’re navigating the aftereffects of trauma.And your brain—beautifully, wisely—is doing its best to protect you....

Hi Reader, One of the hardest parts of healing from narcissistic abuse is how invisible the trauma becomes. You might look fine on the outside.But inside, your nervous system is on high alert…Your thoughts are spiraling…And your heart still carries stories of self-blame, shame, or silence. Are you ready to put down the mask? (it's exhausting, I know!) You don’t need more willpower. You need a safe container to unlock what’s been stuck—and finally set it free. That’s exactly what the...

Hi Reader, Ever feel like you're nervous system has gone haywire? You’ve done so much work already, yet there are still moments where you feel stuck, triggered, or like your body is holding on to something you can’t quite name. That’s not because you’re broken.It’s because your nervous system is still working hard to protect you. But protection is not the same as peace. If you're ready to gently unlock the emotional and somatic imprints of trauma that narcissistic abuse left behind, I’d love...

Hi Reader, I wanted to share something personal and exciting with you today. Last year, I took a deeply transformative trip to Bali that changed the way I relate to healing. One of the most impactful experiences I had was attending a Light, Sound, and Vibration (LSV) session at the Pyramids of Chi in Ubud (which I can NOT recommend highly enough!). Imagine lying on a water bed that carries sound through every cell of your body, while sacred images of geometry dance above you—like journeying...
