For so many years, I would lay my head at night and think, “I was a great businesswoman today.” Or, “I was a great MOM today.”

But never both.

I always felt like I was either succeeding in business and failing as a mother… or killing it as a mom but failing as a business owner.

Eventually, I had to really sit with how fleeting time is.

What does it matter how much my business is generating, if I’m missing out on precious, priceless moments with my child that I will never get back?

And yet, when I focused too much on motherhood, I felt like I was failing as a business owner. Like everything would fall apart without me.

It’s taken a lot of time to recalibrate. to reassess my goals, my vision, and what I actually want my life (&business) to look like.

I’m so done with the “boss babe” mentality of hustling at all costs. Team no sleep. Team fried nervous system.

I wanted off that merry-go-round. 

& Since downsizing back to a solo practice, I’ve found a much healthier sense of balance.

And it doesn’t mean I’m a failure as a businesswoman. It means I’m finally valuing myself as a whole human being.

My worth is not determined by my productivity, my revenue, the size of my team, or how much I can accomplish in a day.
My worth exists outside of my career performance.

So instead, I find myself asking different questions:

How many lives can I touch today? How can I be present for the people I love? How can I do meaningful work that lights me up without sacrificing myself in the process?

Maybe success isn’t about numbers or optics, but rather building a life that actually feels aligned. Aligned in purpose. Aligned in faith. Aligned in love 

If you’re a business owner and a mother, just know that I see you. you’re doing amazing. you don’t have to choose between being a great mother and building a meaningful business; you’re allowed to create a life where both can coexist 🤍 by @touchofradiance_

This summer, my teachings consisted of one group class on intraoral buccal massage + facial sculpting, and one 1:1 mentorship.

Teaching fills my cup.

I can only touch so many people in a day. But when I teach HEALERS, and they carry my teachings into the world through their own unique expression of healing arts, it creates a ripple effect, far beyond who I alone can touch.. Creating a greater impact on the world!🙏🏼🌎🌀

This fall, I’ll be hosting my first alumni workshop! A refresher for past students who want to refine their skills, reconnect with the work, and connect with one another. (October 17th)🤍

And my next intraoral workshop will be in January 2027.

& As always, I take 1:1 mentorships on an ongoing basis for those who feel called to go deeper.

Grateful to teach, to learn, and to witness these teachings continue to ripple outward. 🤍 taken in Touch of Radiance by @touchofradiance_

“Where ya been, Mo?” Yikes! I hadn’t realised I’ve been so preoccupied with business is real life that I haven’t been updating the online world😆

To summarize it as short as possible, here’s a mini dump of the last 6 ish months since apparently that’s the last time I posted to the feed😭 I spoke at some amazing conferences last year, hosted a pro workshop on buccal massage here in solana beach, hosted a gua sha workshop for clients, recorded a podcast and hosted another pro workshop in Miami, took a training in Chicago, and otherwise have been tending to my lovely clients in the treatment room. 

What’s coming up?

It’s been on my heart to teach more& deliver NEW materials. Many have reached out, and I want to thank you all for continually pushing me in the direction of sharing my voice, and my knowledge. 

✨💫APRIL 6💫✨ is my next online workshop on THE FASCIA - we will be learning about Myofascial release techniques, such as skin rolling. And of course I will be breaking down the science behind the anatomy of the fascia and how it relates to a healthy complexion. 

If you are a previous student of mine from any of my in person workshops - this is free for you to join & get a refresher.

If you’ve never trained with me before, please join as the world needs your touch. Comment below FASCIA & I will DM you a link & discount code to sign up. 

Let me show you how to deliver results without the use of fancy machines or expensive creams. Just through the manipulation of soft tissue, we are able to create a difference in the appearance of the face, structure, and quality of the skin🙌🏼 by @touchofradiance_

ICES PHILLY! 2 days. 3 seminars. 400 students. 👏🏼

Grateful for the opportunity, and to be seen as an expert in this niche to help bring information to the masses. Hearing feedback afterwards of attendess talking about how they are excited to apply my techniques / protocols / theories is so rewarding. The world needs more of these touch based therapies! 

The east coast is more med spa / machine driven. So again having a turn out like we did for something that’s seen as “alternative” is huge. It’s a sign of changing times, seeing more industry professionals seeking out holistic modalities. 💯

Next convention is in LONG BEACH; August 18 & 19 @ices_lne 

& My next professional workshop I’ll be hosting is coming up this Monday, 4/29 @11am PST online via zoom- ‘LYMPH FOR INTERMEDIATES’ it’s an all NEW workshop!

& Lastly, I have an esthie retreat coming up June 7-9 in Joshua Tree, Ca! We will be going over intraoral massage techniques (and other stuff i ONLY teach in person)

I wanted to talk about this for a sec, as many estheticians are stepping into this work of facial massage.. I notice a lot of massage therapists (not all, but a lot) are trauma informed or at least aware of the energetic body. However I notice quite a bit of estheticians lacking awareness of being trauma informed.

Let me also say that if you’re a client, crying is ok! There is no shame in crying. Also, if you’ve never been in and want to get a facial massage but are now second guessing, thinking you might cry, keep in mind this is not a frequent occurrence! And again, if you do cry it is perfectly acceptable and is a part of the healing / processing. We aim to maintain a safe container / space for such things. 

Tips for estheticians if you find yourself in a situation where a client has been triggered and an emotional response is elicited: remember it’s important not to break the processing happening in the moment. Breaking the moment can be; talking, handing a tissue, hugging, etc. your goal is to hold space in the moment. Empathize but don’t take it on as your own feelings. Let them experience the emotions that have been stored, so they can be felt and released, let go of for good. Once a client has finished crying or talking about what just came up for them, then you can offer a tissue, a hug, or kind words etc. 

I just wanted to bring some awareness to this as I wanted to help bridge the gap for estheticians who are not trauma informed.. trauma is very complex, this is just one layer of many.

I highly encourage focusing on tongue posture if you have problems with clenching your jaw and or double chin puffiness/ inflammation. 

It’s helpful to walk clients through this during intraoral massage instead of just saying “relax”. Active engagement of the tongue will play into the facial structure as a whole.. I’m really diving into the tongue/ lymph connection these days- my next online workshop (lymph for intermediates 4/29/24) we are going to be exploring this topic at length. 🙌🏼 taken in Solana Beach by @touchofradiance_
