One thing I always include whenever I facilitate a training on trauma is a conversation about self-care. Even when everyone in the room is an adult, I still make it a point to teach a simple technique.

Some people may think it's unnecessary. After all, we're adults. We should already know these things, right?

I believe that if we're going to talk about something heavy, we should also leave people with a tool they can carry with them. Whether they choose to use it or not is up to them. At least they leave knowing they have something to return to.

Yesterday, I had the honor of facilitating a trauma training for a group of about 20 people, many of whom did not speak English. It was such a beautiful experience to hold space for them and guide them through a simple breathing exercise. They were receptive, engaged, and willing to try something new together.

What touched me most was the feedback afterward. Many noticed a shift on how they felt. A few laughed because it was so silly. Several people shared that the breathing activity was one of their favorite parts.

And honestly, I was confused because what activity?Maybe that's exactly the point.

Sometimes we forget how powerful it is to simply pause and breathe with intention. We move through life carrying stress, responsibilities, and experiences without realizing how disconnected we've become from our own bodies. We forget that something as natural as our breath can help bring us back to ourselves.

Yesterday wasn't just about learning about trauma. It was about recognizing that healing doesn't always begin with something big. Sometimes it begins with a single intentional breath.

I just want to pause and savor this moment this morning. To sit with the gratitude. To acknowledge that even in the midst of a busy season, I was able to show up authentically, serve wholeheartedly, and make an impact. And that, in itself, is my reason why. 💗

Plus the photo is just a distraction because I didnt capture any moments from yesterday. Enjoy !

Gratitude goes a long way! What are you grateful for today?

Despite the workload being crazy at the moment, Im grateful for my job and colleagues for understanding the complexities of my life. Who else can pause work to answer the inner calling to trance right then and there? Gratefully me.

How crazy would it sound to tell your boss and colleagues "Sorry, I have this feeling inside to trance/ua neeb right now. It can't wait. I'll connect with you once I'm done." I've never done it but I'd imagine I would have to get a psych eval if I didnt work for my current workplace. Lol.

Anywho I will be training tonight on Kindergarten transition. If youre in the twin cities area and interested let me know and we can connect with my "human" job 😅

"What's one piece of advice that has helped you on your journey?"

One of the biggest lessons I've learned is the importance of knowing who you are at your core.

Not the version of yourself that exists for other people.
Not the version shaped by expectations, titles, or responsibilities. But the version of you that knows your values, your beliefs, and the kind of person you want to be.

Life has a way of testing that. There will be seasons where you feel grounded and confident, and there will be seasons where you feel lost, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. I've experienced both.

What has helped me most is learning to pause and observe my thoughts, actions, and reactions. To ask myself, "Is this aligned with the person I want to embody?"

And on the days when you forget who you are, when life feels heavy, or when you feel ungrounded, remember that you don't have to navigate it alone.

This is why community matters.

Whether it's your family, friends, partner, coworkers, mentors, or the people who genuinely see and support you, allow them to remind you of who you are when you temporarily forget. Allow them to hold up a mirror and reflect back your strengths, your resilience, and your purpose.

Some of the strongest versions of ourselves are not built in isolation. They are built through connection, support, and the people who lovingly help guide us back to our path.

So, take this time to know who you are. Stay rooted in your values. And when you lose sight of yourself, lean into the people who help you remember.

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you so much for all of the new follows, kind words, and those who have already scheduled sessions with me. It means so much to feel your support and trust as I continue stepping into this next chapter of my journey.

Because of the interest and to better serve those who feel called to this work, I’ll be expanding my availability and opening up more appointment days. To ensure I can continue showing up fully present and avoid burnout, I will be limiting myself to a maximum of two clients per day.

I know this summer is going to be a busy one. Between my full-time work and everything else life brings, I've realized it's time for me to commit more deeply to myself and the skills and gifts that come naturally to me. This work brings me so much joy, and one of the greatest blessings is witnessing my clients reconnect with themselves and create happier, more aligned lives.

If you feel drawn to my work, I welcome you to reach out. Please keep in mind that my sessions are currently offered in person (St Paul, MN) and are rooted in a holistic approach that honors the mind, body, and spirit as a whole.

Whether our paths cross through a session or not, my hope is that you continue finding the people, practices, and spaces that truly resonate with you and support your journey.

Thank you for being here, for believing in me, and for allowing me to be part of your healing and growth.

With gratitude,
Kalia 💛

" Today I come before you not as your daughter but as a shaman"

I was shocked to hear these words tremble out of my mouth so naturally and effortlessly. In that moment, I knew I had to remain grounded, no longer just a daughter, but a facilitator of healing. It was intense witnessing my own roles shift, yet staying impartial to let the energy flow, to help him release what needed releasing.

I’m so grateful my father allowed me to offer him an energy clearing session. It felt sacred and filled with so many emotions. It means so much that he’s open to something that is a foreign concept to him. As I helped him clear the old and welcome strength, I couldnt hold back my tears.

It’s wild to think how I’ve grown. I still view myself as the little girl who adores and listens to my sweet, wise, funny father. But now, I find myself encouraging him, making sure he eats, gains strength, and stays with us, because there’s so much I still want to experience with him. I wish him all the love, all the abundance, and I hope he knows how much this strengthens me too because it helped me step further into who I’m meant to be.

And, of course, I wish for him to live out his full 120 years! So please, join me in wishing my father a happy birthday and a long, prosperous life ahead.

Nothing is better or greater than having a xifu who truly sees you, embraces you, and wants you to reach your fullest potential. This journey no longer feels lonely, and all the gifts within me are unfolding so naturally and so beautifully.

This photo was captured while my xifu was helping me trance and hitting the gong for me, as I don’t yet have someone who does that by my side. She recorded this moment, screenshotted it, and sent it to me and honestly, it touched my heart so deeply.

There is something so beautiful about being witnessed in your most vulnerable, most raw form and still being deeply loved, accepted, and appreciated.

I’m really excited for this next chapter of my journey. I feel myself moving forward with deeper clarity, stronger grounding within myself, and a greater understanding of the healing I’m meant to share with those who resonate with my energy and spirit.

I love indulging and embracing this type of love and care. Ua tsaug, ua tsaug, ua tsaugssss 🥰

I saw a post that had asked- "Women who intentionally created slower, softer lives… what did you remove first?"

It had me sit and reflect. There was a time in my life where I wore the title of “strong and independent woman” with so much pride. It made me feel empowered. In control. Like no matter what happened, I could carry it all on my own. Looking back now, it also felt like I was constantly bracing against waves that never stopped coming. I was always moving, always pushing, always surviving. In many ways, I was working against my own energy.

The first thing I removed when I intentionally chose a softer life was my availability. My schedule used to always be full. Busy became my identity. I gave so much of myself to work, family, friends, responsibilities, expectations… that somewhere along the way, I made everyone else more important than me.

Now, two to three years later, my schedule is open, and I have all this time for myself. I can honestly say I’m so proud of the woman I’ve become.

A softer life, for me, meant becoming present. It meant slowing down enough to actually hear myself again. It meant creating space to enjoy my own company, my own thoughts, my own existence. And the deeper I settle into this version of me, the more I feel the difference in my core between who I used to be and who I am now. This version of me feels magnetic. Gentle. Safe.

I used to wonder why people felt so drawn to me, and honestly… I think part of it is because my nervous system is no longer constantly in survival mode. People can feel when someone has chosen peace within themselves.

It’s still a journey. Healing always is. But I wouldn’t trade this softer version of me for anything.
She feels closer to who I’ve always envisioned myself being. Closer to the parts of me that existed before survival mode and trauma convinced me I had to harden to deserve love, safety, or success.

What’s something you had to remove from your life to become the version of yourself you always envisioned?

My favorite part about tapping into spirituality is seeing how we are so much more alike than we are different.

A few weeks ago for Sunday Funday a friend and I went to experience Mystic Brunch to explore different divination that was offered. I've always wanted a rune reading and this reading was so accurate!

Its always a refreshing reminder that I have the choice to live life however I'd like, all I have to do is act on it.

What modality helps guide you when you are seeking self reflection and guidance?
