Celebrating 1 year of being a certified Pilates & Stretch Coach! Last summer was full of devastation, loss & heartbreak. In spite of all of that, stepping into the fitness world as a coach instead of a client has made an immeasurable impact on both my physical and emotional body!

I am so grateful to all of the studios who have taken a chance on me and allowed me the privilege of sharing my healing, support and passion with the amazing communities & clients I’ve been blessed to coach! Major shoutout to my Pilates bestie @mollyturner_ for continuing to support me throughout my journey!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

I can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Find me @clubstudiofitness in Citrus Heights and @vaultfitnessrocklin

Nothing more to say other than I love you every single day. Two whole lifetimes still wouldn’t have been enough time to be by your side. I miss you beyond universes… thank you for bringing Winston to me.

There’s no one like you, baby. See you soon, Sweet Angel.

Poem titled Chewed Up written by me 🥰🥰🫶🏼🥰🥰

Melancholic piano music playing under the voice over: “it’s been a year since I’ve said goodbye…there hasn’t been a single day that has gone that I haven’t thought of you. I miss you, my Sweet Angel”

Hecka excited to have my own reformer at home! I’m loving my @personalhour Nour 2.0 Foldable Reformer. It came with a jump board, box, multiple foot/safety straps and 4 different foot plates. The carriage glides so smoothly and it’s almost completely silent. It was touch to get it upstairs but suuuuper easy to put together since I’ve been comfortable using reformers for a year now.

Definitely had limited resources in terms of instructions and set up guides, but I was able to figure it out and I am super happy with it. 😊😊

Pilates party at my place??? 😌😉

If you’re awake and living in this current reality, you’re tired, sad, carrying a lot and feeling helpless, like me. When I talk to my friends we always get around to the same line of questioning: “What is there to do?”

Audre Lorde said that rest was a radical act of resistance, and we can’t support our community if we’re on empty. So, what is there to do? Boots to the ground, breathe forest air, hug a tree, eat a sammich. Resilience requires rest. Resistance requires resilience.

What are YOU to do?

I’ve been wanting to make a video like this for a very long time… Once I started getting into my @mindfull_mari era, I found so many really cool meditation videos that were voiced over beautiful clips of nature. Ever since then I’ve been taking pause at all the beautiful places I’ve been blessed to visit, recording a few snippets here and there.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to share a five minute meditation, using clips of peace that I’ve experienced for the past three years. In this video not only will you ground into your body, but you’ll also get to experience beautiful views from Humboldt & Mendocino counties, Lassen and Shasta mountains, Bodega Bay in Sonoma County and more.

We need peace more than ever right now. Just breathe with me.✨🧘🏻‍♀️✨ taken in Bodega Bay, California by @ladyray33

Mood board for Lunar New Year. 🐴🔥🧧

May I be brave and valiant in my undoing. May I never cower at the change or breaking of chains. May I face the dismantling of my being with awe and wonder. May this journey bring forth the coming of fruition, manifestation, and answered prayers. May my path be clear and unshaken and every step divinely guided. May I find joy in every loss and may my tears bring about my flowers. by @ladyray33

2025 was one of the most difficult years of my life. Hands down. I experienced more loss than most people can take and my support system made sure to remind me of that as I rose after each one. I tried to toss in the towel a couple times. But when you have the people behind you like I do, you have everything you need to keep going.

As I look forward to the Gregorian 2026 calendar year, I look forward to the sunshine on my skin, the laughter in my belly, the soft kisses on my cheeks and forehead, the community built through trust and mutual support, endless adventure and unbound growth; limitless evolution and to rise from every day with gratitude.

@saint.piercex, @xmeg, @nancyvguijosa you saved me. Every day, you saved me. I love you with my entire existence. 🌹🌷🪷 by @ladyray33

There has been a transformation.
A metamorphosis.
A death and rebirth.
Transmutation.

There have been miracles.
Mistakes.
Defeats and losses.
Support, comfort, ease.

A new skin is forming. Moisturized and hydrated.
We love her. 🥰

I float as Creator has made me. Blessed in every magical moment. ✨ by @ladyray33

We’re 12 days away! “to behold our remembering, Poetry & Pole” is a deeply personal and spiritual experience for me and my artist journey. In 2018, I succumbed to a mTBI and lost my ability to write. I struggled for 2 years to be able to get out what was bubbling deep down inside me. When I finally began writing again, it opened up a part of my spirit and freed her from decades of suppression.

This show, along with my drive to celebrate the pole community that my best friends have welcomed me in to, is a moment to honor my journey. My truth. My feelings. My heart.

The show is outlined in four categories: Love, Grief, Growth & Power. I’ll be sharing poems I’ve never shared and ones that may be well known to some of my community.

There will be other poets sharing in the categories of Love, Power & Grief and dancers moving to different songs, poems and feelings in all 4 categories.
