I started practicing yoga in 1996, the original motivation — to touch my toes! I had no idea the journey I was beginning to undertake would be so profound and transformational. Almost 20 years later, I can touch my toes, and along the way I discovered that my talent and my passion has become helping others nourish their unique journey toward self discovery. While most of my retreats and offerings

are open to all, I am particularly passionate about helping women explore the divine feminine and embrace their indwelling power, the Shakti nature within. This work entails going deep, uncovering blocks, becoming embodied, balanced and strong on all levels, ultimately, becoming comfortable with feminine creativity, sexuality and personal power. As I continue the personal practice of embracing Shakti, I experience my evolution forward into myself. An increasingly empowering and liberating experience, I can’t help but feel compelled to help others (primarily women) experience this for themselves. I am the founding owner of Chinook Yoga in Prince George, BC and a Director within the Primary Faculty of the SOYA Yoga Teacher Training Program. I have more than 18 years of yoga teaching experience and have taught many practitioners to become yoga teachers themselves. I am also a Doctor of Homeopathy and I love to creatively integrate the principles of Yoga and Homeopathy to help unlock a student’s deepest potential within.

That morning glass of water is top priority... but only after you clear the overnight microbial party off your tongue. 🪥✨

I first came across tongue scraping years ago during my yoga teacher training - in Ayurveda, tongue scraping is an ancient morning ritual or kriya.
But modern biological dentists and gut health experts love this habit for a reason: your mouth is the front door to your gut microbiome.

While you sleep, your mouth works to shed metabolic waste and bacterial biofilm, which settles right on the surface of your tongue. If the first thing you do is drink water or coffee, you’re essentially swallowing that entire overnight bacterial load right back down into your digestive system.

It’s one of those tiny, 5-second morning shifts that can make a massive difference for your oral-gut axis

So how about:
1. Wake up
2. Gently scrape your tongue with a tongue scraper (3–4 light glides from back to front)
3. Rinse the scraper
4. NOW drink your water! 💧

Are you team tongue scraper, do you just use your toothbrush, or are you running straight to the coffee pot? Drop it in the comments below! 👇

Something subtle happens when an autumn calendar unexpectedly clears out. A commitment drops off, a trip gets postponed, or a season suddenly offers more breathing room than you planned for.

The default response for most women is to immediately fill that empty space back up with chores, work, or taking care of everyone else.

But what if that pocket of space opened up for you?

In just over eight weeks, a small circle of women is gathering at Playa Viva in Mexico for Radiant Renewal November 8-14. Six days of warm ocean air, morning somatic practice, deep nervous system restoration, and unhurried rest.

Not a tourist vacation where you come home needing a vacation from your vacation - but a true sanctuary to step back into your body, reclaim your vitality, and remember who you are when you aren't managing a schedule.

If your calendar just opened up and your body gives you a quiet, subtle yes when you picture yourself on that beach, trust that knowing.

We have a couple of spaces left in the circle. Send me a DM or click the link in my bio to explore the details - I'd love to hold a spot for you.

We often think of tomatillos as a tropical crop, but they thrive in short northern summers and yield a mind-blowing, fresh taste of Mexico right at home! 🌶️�
Inspired by amazing family-favourite recipe, I adapted this batch using fresh garden tomatillos that can grow in northern BC and the dried chiles available locally. It is bright, smoky, ridiculously delicious, and proof that short northern growing seasons can still produce incredible Mexican flavours!�
Ingredients:
* 3 lbs tomatillos (I picked a variety of sizes for different flavour profiles)
* 4 dried Guajillo chiles (stemmed and seeded)
* 2 dried California chiles (stemmed and seeded)
* 4 dried Chile de Árbol (stems removed; keep seeds inside for heat!)
* 1 small yellow onion
* 4 large garlic cloves
* 1 tbs chicken bouillon (or to taste)
* Salt

Instructions:
1. Toast the Tomatillos: Lightly roast or toast the tomatillos in a dry skillet/pan until softened and slightly charred, but don't let them turn completely black.
2. Toast the Chiles: In a dry skillet, flash-toast the Guajillo, California, and Árbol chiles over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side until fragrant (stir constantly - don’t let them burn). Then soak the toasted chiles in warm water for 10 minutes to soften so they blend easily.
3. Blend: Add the toasted chiles, a small handful of the roasted tomatillos, onion, garlic, chicken bouillon, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth.
4. Combine: Add the remaining tomatillos and pulse until you reach your desired texture. Taste and adjust salt as needed!�
Delicious on eggs, chicken, tacos, and more. Save this post for your next harvest! 🌶️✨

I came home from a few days of camping fully ready for Nature's autumn slowdown - and found these waiting for me instead.

I’ve been head-down in harvest mode for weeks - canning, prepping, and watching the garden wind down. So walking out to two rose bushes bursting into full, bright bloom in September was the absolute sweetest, most unexpected surprise. There are even more buds getting ready to open.

Typically, my roses bloom in June. But here they are, blooming on their own timeline, completely unbothered by the crisp autumn nights or the calendar.

It was such a beautiful, grounded reminder of what we call "Second Spring" in midlife.

We’re conditioned to think our brightest "bloom" belongs to our 20s or 30s. But midlife isn't the fading end of the season. It’s an entirely new phase where a woman steps into her full creative life-force energy - blooming into a version of herself she couldn't have accessed back then. Nature doesn't rush, and she definitely doesn't ask for permission to bloom late.

Where in your life are you feeling that nudge to bloom into a new version of yourself right now? Tell me in the comments - I’d love to hear.

Today marks 31 years since Marco and I made a commitment to each other.

We met in 1991, in a tree planting camp near Revelstoke, BC. I was the camp cook. He was the tree planter who always came back for seconds.

Since then: three wonderful adult children, a home and garden built from the ground up, two entrepreneurial lives that follow our hearts, and a partnership where we still genuinely love adventuring together. We've lived in different countries, travelled the world, and kept choosing each other through every chapter.

31 years in, and I still choose this wonderful man. Still choose this life we've built.

Happy anniversary, my love. 💛🧡🩷

Supporting your nervous system doesn’t always require a complex protocol, a silent room, or a rigid schedule.

In fact, one of the most potent, resilient-building tools we have is oxytocin - the hormone of touch, connection, laughter, play, and presence.

When we let ourselves drop the heavy performance of “holding it all together” and step into pure, uninhibited joy, our biology responds instantly.

Today’s medicine was a radish-top boa, two massive cauliflowers, onion tassels, and 100% silliness. 🥬✨

Where are you letting yourself take in a slice of real joy today?

🌿 Creating an oxytocin-rich life and learning how to actually enjoy your body again is a foundational part of my 1:1 coaching work.

If you’re ready to trade constant pushing for true aliveness, ease, and metabolic vitality, let’s talk.

I got back from Edmonton late last week, feeling drained. Dropping my daughter off at university was emotional, and there was the physical fatigue - days of travel, endless sitting, and a body that felt stiff, heavy, and pretty meh.

And guess what was waiting for me the second I walked through the door?

Life.

The garden needed harvesting and weeding, food had to be processed, the lawn needed mowing, laundry was piling up, and my body desperately needed me to get back to some movement.

I stood there looking at the mountain of work, and I didn't feel like doing a single piece of it. Zero motivation.

When everything hits at once, waiting for "motivation" to strike is a trap. Motivation is a feeling. Momentum is an action. And momentum builds after you move, not before.

I couldn't fix the whole list in five minutes, so I just stopped overthinking and asked myself: What is the very first step I can take right now? Not all of it. Just the next best step. Pick up one basket. W**d one row. Start cooking one thing.

Life doesn't pause just because we’re tired (although wouldn't that be nice), and you don't need a huge wave of energy to get through it either. You just need enough momentum for one step.

Where in your life are you feeling completely depleted and waiting for motivation to show up - and what’s one tiny step that could create momentum instead?

Goodness overload on the kitchen table today! 🌿

This is just a sample of what came out of the garden this weekend, and I’m feeling so grateful for this first big harvest of the season.

One of the foundational ways I practice feeling great in my body is by growing some of my own food. There’s truly no better feeling than bringing real, sun-grown food straight to the table. �

Earlier this week, after moving my daughter into her dorm, I took myself out on a celebration date for dinner.

I pre-booked a reservation at Olia based on a friend's recommendation, sat solo at the bar, chatted with the bartender, and treated myself to the sensational six-course fixed menu. The standout was a melt-in-your-mouth Mezzaluna with black truffle, ricotta, sweet grilled corn and Parmigiano butter.

But the most powerful part wasn't just the food. It was sitting by myself at that bar, fully present, soaking in the experience and letting the weight of the day settle. I left still feeling all the bittersweet emotions, but deeply happy that I had taken myself on a date.

We are so good at pulling out all the stops to celebrate everyone else. I think there are moments in our own lives that deserve that same kind of recognition. This was one of mine.

Deep, rich, gelatinous bone broth without leaving the stove on for 24 hours. 🥣✨�
Homemade bone broth is incredible for supporting gut health, joint mobility, and deep cellular nourishment - and making it yourself is super easy and budget-friendly. Using the Instant Pot cuts the hands-on time drastically while extracting every bit of gelatin and mineral goodness from the bones.�
Ingredients:
* Beef marrow/knuckle bones (roasted at 425°F/220°C until deeply browned)
* 1 onion, cut
* 1 head of garlic
* Fresh turmeric root
* Fresh rosemary sprigs
* Whole peppercorns & sea salt
* Splash of raw apple cider vinegar
�Method:
1. Pressure cook on HIGH for 3 hours.
2. Strain the first batch into a large bowl.
3. The Yield Hack: Add fresh water back over the same bones and run a second 3-hour pressure cycle (remouillage).
4. Combine both batches for maximum volume and a perfectly set, gelled finish.
5. Pour into mason jars (leave 1–2 inches of head space at the top so the glass doesn't crack as it expands!) and freeze once completely cooled.�
Do you make your broth on the stovetop or in the pressure cooker? Let me know below! 👇��
