Mother Earth. Gaia. Papahānaumoku.

Grateful to be welcomed to this sacred land. I will always be a student, learning how to uphold and respect Mother Nature and the people + cultures she nurtures.

Thank you for supporting me when I needed it most. 🌎 taken in Honolulu, Hawaii by @maumsomaticwellness

One of the pleasures I get to have is to be of service to others.

I have so much gratitude for our public school teachers and it was my honor to give them even the smallest gesture of appreciation with an afternoon of restorative Breathwork and private sound bath.

It was a beautiful way to end Teacher Appreciation Week to rest and recharge for the holiday weekend. Thank you teachers for all that you do. And thank you moms for all that YOU do!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Thank you @shortavenueelementary @ascendmushrooms 🤎 by @maumsomaticwellness

A beautiful day of witnessing the work and accomplishments of the many female physicians of @kpscal at the WOMEN IN MEDICINE symposium this weekend!

Many thanks to Dr. Metzger for a wonderful keynote address about the obstacles and resilience built in the field of medicine, and thank you to Dr. @jvpjessi for inviting me to lead in a somatic experiencing session that supported so many that day 🤍

And many thanks to @ascendmushrooms for providing ceremonial cacao and matcha - it was a great conversation starter about the benefits of adaptogens to our health! 🤎💚 by @maumsomaticwellness

Adventures in Ojai 🍊

Spent a beautiful day soaking up the sun and welcoming the spring! The sounds of birds, frogs, and other animals scattered the landscape with the fresh spring flowers, like lavender, rosemary and poppies!

Ended the day with a detoxifying experience at @ojaivalleyinn with a Kuyam, a traditional Chumash word for “a place to rest together”, where we applied clay on our bodies and meditated with intense heat and inhalation therapy, all while guided by Greywolf, a Chumash elder. by @maumsomaticwellness

I ran my first run since the marathon last week.

I allowed my body to recover and integrate and use this run as a new beginning - to start all over and start again. Sensing and attuning to my physical body, changing my pace to a slower cadence to be softer on my knees…

All of this “bio-feedback” is just ATTUNEMENT and listening to our living intelligence within to guide us in the next choices we make.

Although I have a new half-marathon to train for in June, I am listening to my body to see how to get into the preparation. I’m still not ready for 100% and still need more recovery. I am listening and receiving the guidance 💫 by @maumsomaticwellness

🐍 As we enter the new lunar year with so many of us experiencing uncertainty + insecurity here in Los Angeles, we can look to the Wood Snake for guidance + wisdom.

Take a moment to pause today - while it feels like there is a sense of urgency with rebuilding after a disaster, the reality of the situation is that this will take time. So take time for yourself as well.

After my own site visit to see the destruction of my parent’s home, I reflected on the symbolism of the dragon that appeared on a broken vase in the rubble. While it gave me much peace to see this beautiful message of hope, it also made me realize that this chapter, this year of the dragon, must close and end. It is time to move into the year of the snake with wisdom + resilience, transforming and growing closer to our Higher Self ✨ by @maumsomaticwellness

In 2025, I hope to continue developing a relationship with myself:

✨ To learn to love all the parts of me unconditionally
✨ To be my biggest advocate and cheerleader
✨ To talk to myself like I’m talking to my best friend
✨ To lead my life with INTENT

What intentions do you want, or will continue in 2025? 💫 by @maumsomaticwellness

Our body is an intricate system with many moving parts. When we talk about wellness and well-being, it encompasses all the aspects of health - mental, emotional, psychological, social, and physical. That’s why it’s just as important to have interoception and awareness on what we put into our bodies, since the foods we eat affect our overall well-being.

In this hustle culture, we are rushed to do too many tasks with not much time, including sourcing and eating our food. Some may say it takes too much valuable time to go to the farmers market, walk to each stand, and prep and make food from scratch.

But if your body is your temporary vehicle navigating your through life, why wouldn’t you take thoughtful care of it like your vehicle in your garage? You only have one body in this lifetime, it’s our most valuable asset and we should take good care of it! 💪🏼

Take the time to go outside to a farmers market every now and then and instead of seeing it as a task, reframe the experience - you get some fresh air, spend time with your people, or maybe even have a connection with others. Moments that you rarely get to savor in if you’re always rushing to get things done. You get to experience both the now and feed your body with nourishment that will enhance your life. by @maumsomaticwellness

When you boil it all down, everything we do is for LOVE 🤍

Love is safety. Love is connection. Love is acceptance. And the opposite of love is the FEAR of not receiving these things.

Our actions and reactions are dictated by love (or lack thereof, a lot of times from our childhood or past experiences). When we go into our stress responses (flight/fight, fawn, freeze) we are acting upon the fear of not receiving love from others. We fear losing connection and acceptance, which could look like someone not liking us or thinking we are bad. We fear these outcomes and resort to CONTROLLING our external world.

Letting go of that control is only fearful if we have a lack of love. Because we are looking for that love in the wrong places - outwardly. External validation.

Acceptance and connection starts within. To fully embrace and love who we are - that is self-love. That is our goal. And once we can find love for ourselves, we will always feel connected, embraced, accepted, and safe because it lives inside us, not outside in others. There won’t be a need to react for control of others and their perception of us, because there won’t be fear. Because we carry the love we need within us. 🤍 by @maumsomaticwellness
