Earthysoul - NYC

After a full day of clients, there’s something so satisfying about leaving the room fresh, sanitized, and ready for tomorrow. ✨ A clean space, a fresh start. I even play my crystal bowl to help recharge and clear the energy of the room. I’ll do the same in the morning to set the tone for the rest of the day! ❤️

At my recent yoga retreat, I spent some time reflecting on my yoga journey.

We often think the obstacles are outside of us…the unexpected detours, challenges or “18 wheelers” that life throws our way.

What I realized is the biggest obstacle is our own self doubt, fears, comparison or belief that we are somehow behind.

During the retreat, I kept coming back to the idea is Svadharma “our own unique path”

It reminded me that my journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s, and neither does yours.

The Bhagavad Gita teaches “it is better to do one’s own dharma/duty, though imperfectly, than to do another’s dharma perfectly” (18:47)

🌱Have you ever realized that you were getting in your own way?

✨ Have you compared your journey in life to others?

“Collective effervescence” seems to be having a moment right now as people reflect on how the Knicks brought New Yorkers together. 💙🧡

Seeing so many conversations about it made me think about something I’ve heard Sri Dharma Mittra speak about for years. “Collective consciousness”

While collective effervescence describes the powerful feeling that arises when people share an experience, yoga invites us to look even deeper, toward the idea that beneath our individual lives, we are already connected through a shared consciousness.

This week, I’ve been experiencing that connection in a very different setting.

Not in a crowded city street, but while watching the sunrise over a Vermont lake, listening to loons call across the water, and paddling quietly through the stillness.

Whether it’s thousands of people cheering for the same team or a moment of awe in nature, both have a way of softening our sense of separation.

Perhaps that’s why these moments stay with us. They remind us that we are part of something larger than ourselves, connected not only to one another, but also to the natural world around us.

Have you had a feeling of collective effervescence or consciousness? Share below.

🏀💙 Tonight is Game 3 and New York Knicks fans everywhere are feeling ALL the emotions.

Whether you’re cheering from the couch, pacing the living room, or trying to keep your blood pressure in check during the fourth quarter, I’ve got an aromatherapy blend for that. 😄

My Calming Blend combines:

💙 Blue Tansy — soothing and emotionally grounding
💜 Lavender — calming and relaxing
🍊 Mandarin — uplifting and comforting
(And other secret ingredients)

It’s a favorite in my treatment room, especially for pregnancy massage clients who need a little extra support for their nervous system.

Knicks fans, you might want to borrow some tonight. 😉

What are your Game 3 predictions? I’m predicting a baby boom for next March! 🤰🏼👶🏻

✨ Employee Appreciation Week… but make it deeply restorative ✨

This week I stepped out of my treatment room and into a local company to offer 20-minute Reflexology sessions for their team 👣

I’ll be honest… I rarely take my massage table on the road.
But this experience? I loved it.

In just 20 minutes, something powerful happens when the nervous system feels safe:
✨ shoulders soften
✨ breath slows
✨ mind begins to quiet
✨ and yes… a few people even fell asleep

It’s a beautiful reminder that relaxation doesn’t have to take hours.
With the right intention and touch, the body knows exactly how to let go.

Grateful to be part of a workplace that values their team’s wellbeing in such a meaningful way 🤍

If you’re a company looking to support your employees with on-site wellness (Reflexology or Energy Healing), I’d love to connect.

Seventeen years later… and she still remembered how she felt. 🤍

Yesterday, a client reached out and shared that I supported his wife during her first pregnancy… back when I was working out of my apartment in Queens.

22 years as a massage therapist… and messages like this still stop me in my tracks. 😮

As massage therapists we often wonder if what we do really makes a lasting difference.
But moments like this remind me… it’s not just about the session.

It’s about how someone feels when they leave.
Supported.
Heard.
At ease in their body.

Thank you for remembering me after all these years. It truly means a lot to me.

Have you ever remembered somethjngbfrom long ago, how you felt, what made a lasting impression?
