Dear Friends
Welcome!
This space is for the ones who were forced to grow up too quickly.
The ones who carried and still carry more than their fair share.
The tender-hearted souls who are still healing, growing, … and hoping.
Here are quiet reflections on healing from childhood trauma, managing long-term stress, hormonal shifts and living soulfully in Japan.
I write from lived experience, with a deep love for 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.
