Welcome <3

This is the official first post of Wild Roses Sanctuary (website, not Substack), so it is only right to talk about how it began. Hmm, where do I start? So, I have had many, many, many, iterations of this business concept which has played out differently over the years. As a real estate agent, I had a website dedicated to my love of combining homes and overall alignment. Which is very much still a part of my mission. As a writer, I dabbled on and off with writing on Medium, and then also started a Substack, which I currently still have with the same name. As a Reiki practitioner, I merged this with my real estate/alignment brand as well. It has all, always been connected in some way. But there was a point in time, when the underlying missing link to all of my work, began to reveal itself. Or rather, it demanded to be heard. That missing link was actually not new to me at all, it was my connection to femininity and the passion that I have in doing women's work. Supporting women, developing my own femininity, holding space, and being in community with women. Spiritually, my connection to the feminine aspect of the Divine began to grow and deepen as well, so I changed my Substack name to Wild Roses Sanctuary, in honor of the Rose, symbolism of the Divine Mother.

The other piece of this, is the very important aspect of movement, and the vital role that began to play in my life. This past year has been a total doozy, an utter nightmare, and a humbling ordeal. To say the very least. But what changed in me, and ignited me, was my connection to myself. Which I was able to find and nurture through somatic movement and practices. As a 1/3 Sacral Generator in Human Design, with ideas always floating about in my mind, it was more than a need for grounding for me. Intentional movement has become my anchor. So much so, that I want to share it with everyone, every woman, in the event someone needs it as much as I did, and still do.

I am not a gym girlie, I do my home workouts, my mobility, I ground and connect, I dance. But more importantly, I do what I feel led to do intuitively by my very own body, who holds more wisdom than I do on what she needs.

So, this work, this website, these offerings, are an accumulation of things I love, am passionate about, and have been the magic and medicine for me, which I hope to share with you.

Even when things go left, right, all over the place, one thing I have learned, is that the one thing you can control and nurture, is you. You can reclaim power that is already there, you have the resources and the tools already within. This is why I say I want to nurture well-resourced women.

We have all we need <3

Thanks for joining me on this journey, I look forward to what is to come.
