Welcome to the Hive!

I am so honored to have your attention for this fleeting moment!

Whether you have been following along for a while now (noticing that I have not been, LOL), or are just catching wind of our existence, I wanted to personally say hello and introduce this space and my intentions around it.

As a healing arts practiitoner and artist I have always been sensitive to my environment. So my particular dream of sharing these healing practices did not end with creating an educational center... OH NO. Its been to do it in style and to offer it as creatively as possible.

And OH how this dream has grown!!!!

I now have the ridiculous privilege of sharing this work from ten acres of magical forested land in a 30 foot dome,

offer entire certificate programs involving multi-day and retreat style classes every month,

and have a whole slew of incredible community members offering magical healing events onsite (breathwork, sound healing, dreamwork, and soooo much more).

Im also growing a full blown retreat destination out here- with a tiny home, glamping dome and more. I will tell you more about my relationship to the land and this work in my upcoming posts as I intend to keep sharing my journey and what I have learned along the way.

Follow along if you are hungry for healing arts info and or inspo, a sweet community vibe and delicious connection.

Alas- my intention is to use this platform as a means for authentic connection and to let you know about all the incredible happenings and healing opportunities that abound.

Please follow along to learn more and…

I would love to invite you to leave a comment below if you have been here, had an experience that moved you, or have any questions about coming out this way! 🙏

How does energy get "stuck" and what do we do about it?

When energy is moving freely, we often experience greater vitality, creativity, clarity and connection.

Stress, tension, emotional overwhelm and periods of change can leave us feeling stagnant, depleted or disconnected from ourselves.

In this experiential monthly workshop Somatic Sunday, we will explore foundational principles of energy medicine and discover practical ways to invite movement where life feels stuck.

Drawing from Polarity Therapy’s elemental framework, we’ll consider how energy is influenced by movement, food, color, sound, touch, thought and relationship, and how these resources can support greater balance in everyday life.

If you curious about what goes on in our corner of the woods, in our classes, in a polarity/craniosacral session, or how to utilize this work for yourself, your family or your life then join me this Sunday from 3-5pm!

Explore the Alchemical Geometry of the Human Energy Field in Polarity Five and Six Star

An Advanced Polarity Therapy Training
November 20-22, 2026

This rarely offered advanced Polarity Therapy class explores one of the most profound and foundational teachings within the Polarity tradition.

While designed as an advanced training, this course is open to everyone. Previous experience with Polarity Therapy is encouraged, but curiosity, presence, and a willingness to learn are the only true prerequisites.

Whether you've studied Polarity Reflex, Polarity One, the Elements, Communications, How Energy Work Works, or are simply drawn to the deeper architecture of healing, you are welcome.

During this immersive weekend you will explore:

✨ The three gunas as living principles of movement, organization, and transformation within the body

✨ The geometric intelligence underlying human structure and energetic organization

✨ Therapeutic landmarks and reflex points that become gateways for skilled, intentional touch

✨ The Hermetic roots that influenced Dr. Randolph Stone's understanding of healing and universal law

✨ The relationship between consciousness, vibration, form, and the body's innate capacity for balance

More than a collection of techniques, this work invites a different way of perceiving. As the geometric and energetic relationships of the body become clearer, touch becomes more precise, listening becomes deeper, and treatment becomes increasingly effortless.

This is the alchemical work preserved through ancient wisdom traditions and woven into Polarity Therapy. It offers a doorway into experiencing the human body not only as anatomy, but as an expression of universal vibration, consciousness, and living intelligence.

Taught by Master teacher Gary Struass, visiting teacher from Los Angeles, CA.

Whether you're a massage therapist, intuitive healer, coach, polarity or craniosacral practitioner, acupuncturist, naturopath, holistic nurse, birth doula, coach, social worker, yoga teacher, or other holistic practitioner...

Many of us eventually realize something:

The healing work we provide is only as effective as our ability to hold space.
It's not about the modalities we practice, it's about becoming more relational.

Advanced Polarity Communications and Clinical Energetics is a four day immersive training intended for energy and bodywork practitioners specifically, but since there is no hands on work, this training is open and relevant to anyone who wants to become impeccable at holding space.

This training takes place in our geodesic dome in a beautiful forested environment in Olympia, WA, taught by internationally recognized master teacher, Gary Strauss, who brings over four decades of expertise.

🌟We will explore:

• presence before intervention

• listening before strategy

• pacing before pressure

• how to recognize when to stay present... and when to refer out.

You'll develop greater confidence in holding complex human experiences without feeling responsible for fixing them.

*This is a trauma informed training but it does NOT teach psychotherapy or trauma treatment.

🌟We will explore somatic communication, energetic awareness, ethical boundaries, practitioner steadiness, and the art of supporting people while remaining fully within your own professional scope.

If you've been longing for skills that deepen your presence rather than simply expanding your toolbox...

I'd love to have you.
August 13-16, 2026
Thursday-Sunday
9:30-6:30
32 CEs for LMTs

HEY FRIENDS! Join me and my sweet dreaming friend Jamie Fenix for a fun and inspiring workshop.

This fun yet potent workshop, is designed for both advanced conscious dreamers and anyone who is curious to begin. Everyone dreams (even if you don't remember). Accessible pricing and energy exchanges are always welcome. Message me if you have any questions!

What if the most transformative skill you could learn wasn't another technique...
..but learning how to truly be with another human being?

Whether you're a bodyworker, therapist, coach, healthcare provider, educator, or simply someone who longs for deeper relationships, the capacity to create genuine rapport changes everything.

When people feel deeply heard, understood, and met without agenda, their nervous systems begin to settle. Trust develops. Defenses soften. New possibilities emerge.

These are not communication techniques to memorize.

They are relational capacities to embody.

This summer I am offering two trainings:

✨ Somatic Communication Level 1
✨ Advanced Communication & Clinical Energetics

Together we'll explore trauma-informed communication, energetic resonance, deep listening, relational presence, and the subtle art of accompanying another person's unfolding without needing to fix, convince, or direct.

These classes are among the most personally transformative trainings we teach.

They only happen once each year.

If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it.

Starting tonight from 6-8pm! A monthly, 2-hour immersive gathering for women (and all who identify as such or who feel called to join) who are craving:

deeper connection
embodied awareness
a space to slow down, let go and be supported
This is not a typical yoga class. It is more like a women's circle or a mini retreat/workshop.
Join all three or drop in if you cant make them all.

This is a guided somatic and energetic experience that weaves together movement, reflection, connection, and hands-on support.

Each circle will include:

a full somatic yoga practice
guided journaling and self-inquiry
partner and group connection
optional hands-on cranial and polarity-based support
space to integrate, soften, and receive
This is a place to come as you are,
to be witnessed, to reconnect with your body, and to explore what it means to feel supported in a more honest and embodied way.
