Founder of Stewarding Connections

I am so honored to be sharing this space with you! As a devotee to the Menstrual Cycle, my passion for cultivating a rhythm that honors and safe-keeps the Ancient Wisdom of the Woman began with my healing journey over a decade ago. As I rooted into my Cycle, into my body, I experienced the raw power I held within me. Power to connect to my self-direction, joy, and abounding hope. Power to fully FEEL and still be deeply connected to the safety present in the arms of the trees and the thresholds of the garden. Power to know what my Menstrual Cycle symptoms were communicating to me… and how to bring my body back into balance.

The body speaks through sensations. In our busy world, it is often once our body begins to speak “loudly” through symptoms, that we start to listen. However, what if we could develop such an intimate relationship with our body’s somatic communications that we were ever-attuned to the deep peace rippling through us in subtle softness? Or the slight constriction of the throat, inviting us to release our authentic voice and art into the world? Hmmm … or the warmth flooding our hearts as we stand in quiet observation of the natural world within and around us? What if our attunement made it possible to hear our body’s subtle communications and nurture her moment-to-moment before those louder symptoms began?

In owning our inherent design for vitality and dynamic feeling, we tune into Love and Connection… we tune into the Eternal. Living from a place of Eternal Connection, our hearts reveal themselves to us as profoundly resilient and fiercely soft. This is the gift of the Feminine Connection. Feeling herself as part of the Eternal where everything she needs, desires, and longs for is accessible within her union with Divine Love. This is your birthright, dear sister.

Having moved through my early years disconnected and disassociated from my body, it is my heartbeat to support other women who are returning home to their Cycles.
