Divine Reflections
As I reflect on this past year, it’s wild to think about how much has changed. This year has been nothing short of transformative—not just for the studio, which has completely evolved, but for me personally. In many ways, it feels like I’ve experienced a rebirth—a chance to realign with my deepest truth, my Authentic Erotic, and step more fully into who I really am after sitting in the fire for so long. It wasn’t always easy, but every step felt like peeling back another layer of who I thought I had to be, revealing the essence of who I truly am.
So many times did my feelings of fear, shame, guilt and unworthiness kept creeping up. They were loud, persistent, and often tried to convince me to stay small. But deep down, I knew. I knew what my soul was calling me to do, and I knew I couldn’t ignore it. It was a really hard year for me, full of challenges and moments where I questioned everything. But as I kept moving forward, trusting my intuition and the process, I realized it was all part of the transformation. Now, as I look around, I feel like it’s finally blossoming into the sacred space I’ve been dreaming of, a space that reflects the vision I’ve held in my heart.
Last December, I started a 12-month Feminine Embodiment Coaching certification, and it has been nothing short of amazing. This journey has taken me deep into myself, helping me rediscover the connection to my body in ways I never thought possible. The tools and practices I’ve been learning have become such an integral part of my own growth, and I’ve been weaving them into the teachings at EmbodiPole. Seeing the impact on both myself and our members has been transformative! Every class, every conversation feels richer, more intentional, and so much more aligned with the work we’re doing to reconnect to our Authentic Erotic.
One of the most miraculous changes for me has been healing something I thought I’d just have to live with forever. For the past 20 years, I’ve struggled with oral allergy syndrome, which meant I couldn’t eat many raw fruits and vegetables without triggering a reaction. But through leaning into embodiment practices, something shifted. It’s like my body woke up and started to trust me again. I didn’t change anything else about my lifestyle. No new diets, no supplements, no external fixes. The only thing I did was reconnect to myself—truly listen to my body and ask it why it was reacting. That was the shift.
Now, I can eat raw carrots, apples, and even enjoy almond milk (and more) without my mouth reacting! It might seem small to some, but to me, it’s a huge win—I had so much anxiety around eating out because of the constant fear of reacting. Over the years, that fear only grew stronger as the list of foods I had to avoid kept getting longer and longer. It reached a point where I felt trapped, constantly worrying about what I could or couldn’t eat, and it made something as simple as sharing a meal feel overwhelming. To now be able to enjoy these foods without hesitation feels like such a gift, a reminder of how powerful healing and reconnection can be. We can heal our own bodies!
As we move into December and the theme of Divine Reflections, I can’t help but feel immense gratitude for all the lessons this year has offered. It’s a time to pause, to look back on everything that has unfolded, and to honour how far we’ve come. When we take the time to reflect, we see the divine in our growth, the beauty in our struggles, and the sacredness in every step of the journey. Here’s to continuing to trust, to heal, and to embrace the divine within us all.
