Dear Friends

Welcome

This space is for the ones who grew up too quickly.

For the quiet carriers of too much, for too long.

The tender-hearted souls who are still healing, growing, … and hoping.

Here you’ll find reflections on childhood trauma, nervous system recovery, managing long-term stress and hormonal shifts while living in Japan.

I write from lived experience, with an interest in gentle, holistic practices that nurture both body and spirit.

Put the kettle on and stay awhile.

Just like the cherry blossoms she loved to play beneath,
she reminds me and maybe you,
… that life is beautiful, fleeting, and precious.

A Gentle Note:

Some posts touch on grief, domestic abuse, childhood trauma, and finding emotional peace.

Please take care while reading, and pause if anything feels too heavy.

You are always in control of your pace here.
