A quick soul check-in from me

So, here we are halfway through 2025. And honestly… didn’t we just have New Year’s?

The truth is, there’s been so much energy moving lately. Not just collectively on a grand scale, but within each of us. 2025 is truly rearranging lives and asking us to get radically honest with ourselves. Like really really honest. And even if we fight it, we can't leave 2025 without some monumental changes towards living from our heart space.

And for me, it’s no exception.

If you’ve traveled alongside me at any point in time, you’ll know how wild each of my years tends to be. And 2025 hasn't disappointed yet. It’s like the Universe decided: "Let’s dial it up times 100". Just when I think life can’t get any weirder, a new month begins and proves me wrong.

This year actually began with what seemed like an insignificant friendly interaction with two Moroccan souls. All while I was spending New Year’s in their beautiful country, surrounded by the ones who are at my heart’s core.

These souls' honesty moved something inside me, but none of us would know the impact of it until months later. They didn’t say anything I hadn’t already felt. But hearing it spoken out loud by strangers, unprovoked, with presence and no apology, clicked something open.

Maybe that’s why, from late January throughout March, I went through deep insomnia (I only slept 0 to 3 hours per day), and still had to maintain my work schedule and being someone's mom. Even if I managed to keep it from affecting my sessions and how I show up in society, it was followed by a complete nervous system crash in late March. And that crash brought a core realization: I could no longer sustain the pace and structure I’d been operating in.

To keep offering the best of me in work and life, I had to rearrange everything. My social life. My private life. My schedule. Even the way I show up in sessions. And so I did.

Why I wanted to share the latest behind-the-scenes updates:

BOOKING SESSIONS

Over time, more people have reached out for spontaneous reads or quick messages. The “Do you have 5 minutes?” kind of energy. I sense this is part of the current collective intensity. Where we all crave instant clarity (myself included!), urgent answers, something to hold onto when everything feels out of order.

While I deeply honor the trust behind these asks, all sessions must be booked in advance, even the quick check-in's. That’s how I hold space with integrity, for your energy and for mine. When you book, you’re not just honoring my time, my energy and skills. You’re anchoring a space that’s created just for you. The work I do is soul-deep and spacious. This is why booking in advance is the only way to go.

If you need an urgent timeslot, you’re always welcome to reach out AFTER booking, to see if there’s an earlier opening or to be added to the waitlist.

PRICING (and why they’re staying put for now)

Another big reflection this year has been around pricing. Yes, life is getting more expensive by the month, for all of us. But I’ve chosen not to raise my prices right now, even though they don’t reflect the full depth of the labor involved.

Why? Because I want my work to remain accessible across the globe, like it always has been. This path I walk is more than a profession. It’s a soul calling, and I don’t want healing and growth to feel like a luxury.

Also: EVERY session includes 15–20 minutes of pre-work, where I tune into your energy field (i.e. the drawings or notes you often receive at the beginning). That’s time you’re not charged for, but I offer it anyway, as it honors both your energy and mine. (I will actually share with you: 'How I do what I do', in an upcoming piece).

I trust that what’s meant to flow will flow, including resources. But this is also why upfront booking is essential. Otherwise, the scales tip out of balance, in a job that already asks for so much energetic giving.

NEW OFFERINGS (based on what you’ve asked for)

Some of you have asked for gentler, more 'budget-friendly' sessions. Lighter formats, love-based themes, shorter reads, and ways to connect that feel soft and doable.

Why, there are now some new offerings in the shop directly inspired by those conversations. Whether it’s a mini session, a themed reading, or something new entirely, I hope you find something that meets you where you are.

Also, I occasionally update the freebies, so keep an eye out. They shift to meet what’s most needed in the collective right now.

MORE OF MY VOICE

I’ve added my voice to the site. A short recording that speaks to what I offer, in just a few words. Some people connect more through voice and frequency. So, if you’re curious to feel into my energy beyond what’s written, go have a listen.

PROJECTS BREWING

Another reason for why the sessions are to be booked in advance, is: when I’m not holding space for clients through my psychic work, I’m crafting projects, that both feeds my soul and hopefully will bring joy, insight, and deep remembering to others. And time needs to be carved out for that part of me too (I can’t wait to share more of it with you soon).

AND THE MOROCCAN AHA's…

For those curious about what cracked me open: it wasn’t anything dramatic. In fact, some might’ve brushed it off entirely. But these seemingly insignificant exchanges with “random strangers” turned out to be the ignition of something I could no longer ignore.

Within just a couple of days, one bold soul called out my “resting bitch face” and how closed off I appeared to others. And it made me question my energy, and how I move through the world, and meet other souls out in the wild. Because those of you who’ve met me know, I’m probably one of the most light-hearted, chill, and playful people you'll ever meet.

Then, on a rooftop in Marrakesh, overlooking the city’s soft chaos and imense beauty, another stranger said something gentler. During a lighthearted conversation about the rougher past I carry, and how it didn’t seem to have left its mark on my kids, they shared how their own upbringing had taught them, true connection comes from the inner beauty we often don’t get to see.

The funny thing is, they were both pointing at the same truth within me, just from different angles. And I realized: my body will always tell on me. Which means I need to make sure, how I show up, reflects who I actually am inside. Not always “on.” Not always soft. Not always available. But at the very least honest, and true to my heart.

Because apparently, that “resting bitch face” is just my nervous system saying: “Hey, I’m overcooked. I’m overloaded. I need space. I’m not in the mood for small talk or superficial interactions.”

And the irony? Holding space is what I do for a living. But I had forgotten how to hold space for myself.

This wasn’t about fixing myself (or my face). It was about realizing, when I don’t listen to what I need, my body will speak for me. Loudly. And that’s when people start misunderstanding who I really am.

So I had to get real with myself. Now, I listen sooner. I scale back on interactions that don’t ignite my heart. I align faster. I honor what I need, even when it doesn’t look cute or inviting. But just know, under the surface of my resting bitch face, I’m definitely probably still cracking a joke or two.

So, why am I sharing this with you?

2025 = GET HONEST

Because this year is about honesty. Radical, courageous honesty. We are all being asked to take inventory. To purge ANYTHING and EVERYTHING not rooted in truth or aligned with our hearts.

And if you’re someone who’s forgotten how to live from your heart and inner knowing, I promise you, there is a way back to it. These times are actually designed for that remembering.

We’re not falling apart! The world isn’t ending! It’s just heavily rearranging!

And yes, it can hurt like hell. Insomnia, heartbreaks and all. But I truly believe it will all make sense soon-ish.

More on that as the next projects unfold.

In the meantime, enjoy your mid-year moment, wherever you are. And if I don’t say it enough: thank you for being here. Whether you book sessions, read along, listen in, or simply hold space for the journey we’ve traveled together.
