  • Do Your Thing

    A few summers back, my husband and I climbed into the car with no big agenda—just a full tank, an open road, and that familiar feeling of “Let’s go see where the day takes us.”

    Windows cracked. Warm air rushing in. A playlist half-chosen and half-improvised. The sun starting to dip just enough to turn everything gold.

    Somewhere between our…

  • Some love is worth fighting for

    Over three years ago I boarded a plane to Alaska to see my baby girl… and her baby girl in the fullness of everyday life.

    I still remember the moment we gathered together.

    My daughter’s smile first—warm, familiar, home.
    And then those wide little eyes looking up at me like I was something fascinating and brand new. One tiny hand, one curious…

  • When the world feels loud

    Some mornings at the Sanctuary, the world feels a little too loud.

    The kind of loud that isn’t just outside noise… but the “heat” of everything people are carrying—opinions, pressure, pain, fear, anger. I’ll catch myself tightening without even realizing it, like my body is bracing for impact.

    And then there’s Jasmine.

    My smallest mini. My tiniest…

  • Happy New Year!

    As I stand here with one of the Healing Herd, I’m thinking about how many chapters we’ve all lived through to arrive right here at the threshold of 2026. Some were beautiful, some were heartbreaking, and many were a mix of both.

    What I love about a new year is the gentle reminder that we are invited to begin again. The calendar turns, and with…

  • Honoring our own limits

    I remember the day this photo was taken—because it was the day Aragon helped my client “feel” her boundaries for the first time.

    She came into the session exhausted. On the outside, she was “doing it all”—showing up for work, family, friends, church. On the inside, she felt invisible and resentful, like everyone else’s needs mattered more than…

  • Merry Christmas!

    This is what my heart looks like at Christmas.

    Not the wrapped gifts or the pretty lights (though I love those too), but “this”—a room full of people I love, grandkids on laps and the beautiful chaos of different stories all held in one family.

    We’ve walked through so much together over the years… joy and heartbreak, new beginnings and deep…

  • Merry Christmas Eve!

    Some evenings at the Sanctuary, the sky does the talking for me.

    On this night, I stepped outside with a full mind—little worries, big questions, a few fresh “stumbling blocks” that felt more like brick walls. And then I looked up. The horizon was painted in layers of gold, pink, and violet, as if the day itself were whispering, “There’s more…

  • A Legacy that Live On!

    When I look at this picture of my son with his son, my heart melts every time.

    We weren’t doing anything fancy this day—just sitting outside, bundled in sweatshirts, letting the evening settle around us. But sometimes it’s the simple moments that tell the biggest stories. The way my grandson leans back into his dad’s chest, the way my son wraps…

  • The Power to Shape Our Future

    When I look at this picture of Ruth and Belfyre, I don’t just see a woman and a horse—I see a miracle in motion.

    Ruth has walked through more than most people will ever face in a lifetime. There were seasons when the weight of grief, illness, and disappointment could have easily convinced her to shrink her dreams, to sit down and say, “This is…

  • Northern Lights

    One night not long ago, I stepped outside at the Sanctuary and the sky quite literally took my breath away.

    The northern lights were dancing—soft ribbons of color unfurling across a blanket of stars. For a moment I just stood there, frozen in place, feeling very small and somehow deeply held at the same time. The air was cool on my cheeks, my…

  • A lifetime of becoming

    There are 23 years between these two—and a whole lifetime of becoming in between.

    Standing here with my oldest and my youngest sons, I feel the wild, beautiful symphony of my life all at once. My journey as a mother started when I was still figuring out who “I” was, learning through trial and error, doing my best with the tools I had. There were…

  • Love in Motion

    When I look at this photo, I don’t just see lumber and ladders—I see love in motion.

    This is my husband and our sons building my timberframe office space here at Healing You Sanctuary. Board by board, beam by beam, they were literally raising the structure that would hold so many tender stories, brave conversations, and quiet moments of…

  • Being Unstoppable

    When I think of what it means to be truly unstoppable, I think of my friend Rhoda.

    There was a season when Rhoda lost her ability to walk. Overnight, the simplest things became hard—getting dressed, going to appointments, moving through the world the way she used to. No one would have blamed her if she’d decided to shrink her life down and…

  • Powerful Healing

    When I look at this photo of Finn with my client, I’m reminded of how quietly powerful healing can be.

    On this particular day, my client arrived carrying a lot—old stories about not being “enough,” a nervous system on high alert, shoulders pulled tight around a tender heart. Words were hard to find, but her body was speaking clearly.

    Finn felt…
