Something is stirring in the feminine. And it’s not particularly interested in keeping the peace anymore.

I’ve been feeling it and experiencing it a lot lately. And have felt the need to retreat and contemplate, which is why I have been a bit quiet. I’ve had entire blog posts written and none of it seems to really do this feeling justice.

I see it in the conversations women are having, the boundaries being drawn, the relationships being questioned and the growing exhaustion with carrying everything, keeping everyone happy and making ourselves smaller to keep the peace.

There is an anger rising. But I wonder if we’ve been too quick to label it as anger, rather than asking what it’s trying to tell us.

Perhaps it’s what we might call, or at least I’ve come to call it, “holy rage”.

Not rage for the sake of destruction, but the kind that surfaces when we’ve had enough. When we’ve spent years swallowing our words, overriding our intuition, tolerating what doesn’t sit right and abandoning parts of ourselves just to be accepted.

Through a Jungian lens, I have no doubt we’re witnessing the return of the shadow: all those parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide, soften or silence.

And maybe there’s something bigger happening here, too.

We’re living in a time of collective upheaval, where old structures are being questioned, uncomfortable truths are coming to light and things that once went unquestioned are no longer so easy to ignore.

As we move through this season of the thinning veil, perhaps there’s a fitting metaphor in that. The lines between what is seen and unseen, what we know and what we’ve been avoiding, feel a little less defined.

Maybe the rising feminine isn’t about becoming louder, angrier or more defiant for the sake of it.

Maybe it’s about finally being unwilling to betray ourselves to make everyone else comfortable.

And perhaps that’s where the real work begins.

I have so much more to contemplate and share. There’s been so much simmering and I just can’t quite decide how it needs to be expressed, but felt I needed to share. Does this land with any of you?

Oracle Card Reveal: some powerful cards here, and I am so curious and excited to see how they resonate with everyone!

If you chose Left... Anubis:
Anubis reminds you that you are protected during this time of immense change. You are experiencing a threshold, which requires you to release old patterns, relationships and beliefs to move into a new chapter grounded in authenticity. This energy helps you do this with confidence, knowing that while it might feel scary, it is necessary for your growth and a part of the journey. Anubis reminds you that you aren’t doing this alone, and to look around at who is truly supporting you through this transition. Which ancestors or guides do you feel are walking alongside you? Ask them for help and guidance.

If you chose middle...Nile:
The Nile calls on you to embody the infinite potential that is running through you and your life. This life force is the divine, universal energy that flows, and it is within you as much as it is within the incredible forces of nature. Where can you surrender to this flow in your life? Where have you been holding onto control and blocking the flow of this energy? Gifts of life are all around you, and you are being asked to open yourself to receiving them fully, knowing that you are worthy. This is where the abundance awaits. As you give, know that you must also receive, and that you are worthy of all the abundance that you work for.

If you chose right... Queen:
The Queen arrives when it is time to stop doubting your worth. Consider where you have been giving your power away, and what needs to be put in place to reclaim your sovereignty. There is a call now for you to step up into expansion and stop silencing your needs. You don’t need to ask permission to be who you truly are. Where can you start honouring your needs, without apology? Its time to start taking up space and be clear in your vision, unshakable in your knowing of who you are and what you deserve. The time for playing small is over, and you are being supported to shed anything that continues to challenge your self worth.

Oracle Reading for the Huntress Full Moon 10.26.26

I’ve been quiet this week, I know. The energies right now are intense, and everyone seems to be feeling it in their own ways. In sessions I’m seeing so much…. Loved ones transitioning to the spirit world, illnesses ramping up, stress from all sides, and a general unease with the state of the world right now.
We are under a powerful full moon energy right now, one that is showing us where we need to find the courage to let go of the familiar in exchange for true safety and stability. Yes, this brings anxiousness and fear to the surface, but what’s on the other side promises to be rewarding if we can trust in ourselves.

Let’s see what the cards are promoting you to think about under this energy. Deep breath, close your eyes and centre inwards. Feel into a direction…left, middle or right, and chose the card that your are drawn to.

I’ll be back tomorrow with their meanings ✨

When You Don't Have It Figured Out, Start With Your Feet

The hardest part of leaving a structure isn’t the leaving. It’s the anxiety that can creep up when you have moments of self doubt and feeling unsure of yourself.

I’ll tell you something I've learned to be open about: I don’t have it all figured out.

Nobody really does, even if their instagram tries to convince you otherwise.

For a year, I quietly built my private practice in the background. A lot of extra time working, small steps, a lot of second-guessing. And when it was finally time to leave the clinic I was working for, it was still scary. Years of preparation didn’t make the leap feel safe. It just felt like it was time.

Maybe you know this feeling, that time when there was...
- The job you outgrew
- The role you’ve played over and over for everyone else
- The relationship that ended
- The plan that just stopped feeling right or authentic

And people say “How exciting!”, while you’re secretly wondering if you can actually do this.

I've been there, many times over my 50 years in this lifetime.

Here’s what’s carried me (and trust me, none of it is fancy!):

1. TRUST YOURSELF... You never get the guarantee. You get a quiet sense of what’s yours to do, and you learn to follow it before the proof arrives.
2. REST IS PRODUCTIVE...I’ve told clients this for years. This past year, I had to learn it in my own body. Rest isn’t the opposite of getting things done. It’s what makes everything else possible, especially in a world that keeps asking us to go faster.
3. GROUND IN YOUR OWN WAY... Mine looks like coffee in the quiet before anyone else wakes up, bare feet on the grass whenever I can, regular time in nature, staying creative and doing energetic grounding practices.

Now, yours will look different, and that’s the point. It needs to be authentic and resonate with you.

So if you’re in the middle of your own time of shifting, or are in the pause before one, know that you don’t need a five-year plan today...
You need to start with your feet.
You need a floor to stand on.

I'm curious, what’s one small thing YOU do that grounds you when everything is shifting?

Today marks two years since my mother left this world, quietly and without a warning to any of us she left behind.

It’s moments like this that are a powerful reminder to me of my connection to the spirit world.

The witch in me says Samhain is the thin place, where the veil between what was and what’s coming is easiest to cross.

The therapist in me says grief doesn’t end, it changes shape. Research on mourning keeps finding that staying in relationship with the people we’ve lost, by saying their names, telling their stories, and marking the day, is often part of healing, not a failure to move on.

I’ve never felt those two voices disagree. Today they’re both sitting with me.

So I’m doing what I’d invite anyone to do. I’m visiting the cemetery and spending time with my sister and stepdad.

I’m also spending some time intentionally connecting to my mom. If there’s someone you’re missing, you’re welcome to do it with me, or anytime you want to connect with them. It’s simple and what I find works really well for me:

✨Light a candle at dusk. You can use any candle, but this is where I get super intentional. I’m using Samhain, a candle I’ve created to support connecting to our ancestors: dark woods, cardamom, cedar, amber, and a thread of smoke, deep and warm like the space between what was and what’s next.
✨Say their name, out loud or silently.
✨Sit for a few minutes in the threshold. You don’t have to make it mean anything.
Honour what has been. Make space for what comes next.

If you’d like to light one too, Samhain is part of the Autumn Alchemy Collection and curated with the energy of Samhain in mind.

And especially, if this season or someone passing away feels heavy for you, you don’t have to hold it alone. Message me and let’s talk ❤️

Think about the last time you sat at a table and nobody reached for their phone.

No agenda. No rushing to the next thing. Just the fading afternoon light, a conversation that ran longer than planned, and the quiet feeling of being exactly where you are.

Most of us don’t get that by accident anymore. We have to make room for it on purpose.

That’s why I made GATHER. It smells like warm honey, to***co leaf, and amber over soft wood…the kind of scent you’d expect in an old kitchen where people kept lingering. Rich, but not heavy. Sweet, but not sugary.

Here’s how I’d use it: light it when you sit down with someone you love, and let the flame be your container. No topic. No fixing. Just stay for as long as it burns.

You don’t need more things for the table this season. You need more of what’s already worth sitting down for.

GATHER is part of the Autumn Alchemy Collection and is available now. [Link in bio / DM me to order.]

✨Who’s the person you’d light it for?✨

Harvest- Autumn Alchemy Collection

There’s something about fall that makes us want to slow down, stay in, and cocoon a little.

And then Thanksgiving arrives… bringing family, expectations, old dynamics, and a whole lot of togetherness. 😉

Harvest was made for that moment.

Pumpkin, apple c***r and maple wrapped in cardamom, cinnamon and clove...designed to be warm, cozy, abundant and familiar.

The scent of something delicious in the oven, gathering around the table, and nowhere you need to rush off to.

Gather without losing yourself in the gathering.

Truth Time: You were never meant to run at 100% all year.
If you’re asking yourself why you are so tired and feeling burnt out, look around.

The world is preparing to hibernate. Why aren't we?
Look outside. The trees are dropping everything they don't need to get through winter. The animals are slowing down. The light leaves a little earlier every day.

Nothing out there is hustling.

And yet, we're still expected to perform like it's June.

This is something I admittedly struggle with as an overachiever. My body slows down every October whether I sign off on it or not. Biologically, we know that less light changes your sleep, your appetite, your mood, and even your energy. That isn't laziness or lost motivation. It's information.

So how do I honour that? It’s an exercise in self-compassion and discipline… slowing down takes intention and effort, and a whole lot of listening to what you need in your inner world.

Here's how I'm listening this month:

- In bed earlier, lights low by 9pm
- Warm, slow, comforting food instead of cold and quick
- A candle lit at dusk, a signal that the day is done (Shameless plug here but truly the Bonfire candle has been my go to right now)
- One less thing on my plate, and a real no where I used to say yes out of guilt or obligation (Repeat after me: "I’d love to but I just don’t have the capacity for that right now")

Slowing down and going inwards is part of the cycle. It's not a detour from it.

You're not broken. You're in season. It’s something I teach just about everyone these days, especially during this season…. REST IS PRODUCTIVE.

What are you ready to put down this month?

09/29/2026

They’re here. ✨

The Autumn Alchemy Collection is officially live…
six candles, six seasonal thresholds: Harvest. Forest Floor. Bonfire. Molt. Samhain. Gather.

Each one carries a scent story, with crystals and botanicals chosen for its intention and a little secret tucked inside.

This collection truly and uniquely follows the whole arc of the season:
🍁what nourishes you
🍁what grounds you
🍁what you’re ready to release
🍁what you’re outgrowing
🍁what you’re facing
🍁what it means to come home to yourself

This is my first collection back, and it’s a limited edition, so once it’s gone, it’s gone for the season.

Order now…the collection is poured in small batches and begins shipping October 15th. Local? Pickup in Waterloo will also be available.

And this is just the beginning. A Winter Collection is already taking shape (a few returning favourites will be joining us), and behind the scenes, I’m also building an everyday collection for the candles that hold you all year round, not just for a season. And also working to bring some previous favourites back ( Full Moon, Fresh Start, Sacred Space, New Moon…).

Over the next week, I’ll be sharing the story behind each candle.
