✨ Yoga Nidra + Sound Healing ✨ with Ana + Katie The last few weeks have been a lot. Last month I went to visit my cousin in the Basque Country to say goodbye before he transitions into the next realm where his soul will wander into. He started his voyage -through sedation at the palliative care facility that he is in- to the other side yesterday. Right after, some ugly, stressful, incomprehensible family drama unraveled next to his bedside, the kind that can only be sprouted by death and our often uncomfortable (to choose just one word) relationship (or lack thereof) with it. My body is tired. I have felt heavy, depleted, exhausted, drained and more in the last few days. My heart is broken. I have felt gratitude, love, anger, curiosity, empathy, judgement, compassion, sadness, sorrow, joy, and many other emotions. Yet life has also kept going here in my little corner of Louisville, KY. Maycember is still happening at my kiddo’s school, there are still others in my life needing support, there is still work to be done, meals to prepare, and beautiful plants to tend to. Yoga Nidra is what has allowed me, yet again, to stay grounded, regulated, and rested through all of it. To take a moment to pause from which I inevitably emerge more centered, connected, intentional, and rested. Resting is hard for me, REALLY FUCKING HARD. Nidra Shakti Ma allows me to receive it fully and completely. In that receptivity I also get the benefit of integrating my experience, of all that is in front of me, behind me, and here with me right now. Curious? Come join the wonderful Katie @heart_fields_ and I for Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing with Reiki and recalibrate yourself into rest, integration, or whatever it is you are most needing right now. 🗓 Tuesday, 5/19 🕡 6:30 pm 📍The Mothertree 💫 Sliding Scale $22–44 This month’s theme: 🌙 Surrendering to Choice (inspired by election day!

Happy May! I would love to see you this month! As Spring moves forward, allow yourself to seek out more inspired pathways, directions, and opportunities. We have to slow down to seek with great intentionally and passion. When you look at your life boldly, your spirit is there, guiding you toward higher possibilities. Be kind to yourself this month, in whatever way that needs to look like for you.

I’ve just returned from the Basque Country, where I went to be with my beloved cousin in the final chapter of his life. In the midst of tenderness, grief, beauty, and everyday moments, I was yet again deeply moved by the way people live there. Meals were shared slowly. Conversations were fully inhabited. Time felt less rushed, more lived. Even in the face of death, there was space for being here now. People whom I had just met became co-conspirators in life-changing missions, willing to prioritize a stranger over their schedules or routines. It dawned on me that the quality they embody is simply presence, one that somehow continues to elude us here in the States. As I shared stories of my trip with Katie, the lightbulb went off, and we realized that this was our theme for this week’s Yoga Nidra. It coincidentally—or not 😉—perfectly aligns as a follow-up to last month’s theme of weeding the garden and letting go of those parts of ourselves (and our lives) that are no longer in alignment with who we are. Yoga Nidra is a practice of conscious rest that gently guides us beneath the noise of the mind and back into the truth of this moment. A remembering that life is happening now, in the breath, the body, the heartbeat, the simple gift of being here. A reminder, or permission slip, for simply being, without the need to attain something different, better, more. Join @heart_fields_ and I @mothertreelou for an evening of deep rest, presence , and returning to yourself. 🗓️ 04/24/26

How are you moving inward? We hear that phrase often—follow your inner compass—but lately I’ve been feeling it more viscerally. What I’m drawn to… what I give my attention to… what begins to light up in my life… it’s all connected. The compass doesn’t point outward—it circles back inward, toward the heart field from which it’s magnetized. From there, all movement arises. From this alignment, comes vibrant, steady emersion. All April events have a focused intention for your soft turning inward for a graceful turning outward for all life’s authentic expressions! 📖 💜 LINKS to BOOK in BIO 💕 ✨

There’s something powerful about being in a room where everyone is listening for the same thing — their own heartbeat. Through breath, sound, movement, and energy work, we’ll create a shared field where you can soften, release, and reconnect with the steady pulse within you. Crystal bowls, drumming, Reiki, and guided breathwork all unfold together as one living rhythm. Every body is welcome. Every experience will be different. What matters is showing up and letting the moment meet you where you are. Christi Scoccola, Katie Martin, and I are honored to hold this space together — bringing drumming, vibration, Reiki, and breath into a single experience designed to help you reset and reconnect. If you’ve been feeling the nudge to slow down, this is your invitation. ✨ Link in bio to join us ✨ Follow along for more gatherings like this through Breath of the Wild *spaces are filling fast!

Once upon a time, Yoga Nidra saved my life. ✨ I started practicing Yoga Nidra over 10 years ago, but it became truly essential after my son was born. Those postpartum years were filled with deep love—and also with nearly four years of severe sleep deprivation. My nervous system was constantly running on empty. Yoga Nidra became my lifeline. Even when real sleep was scarce, this practice allowed my body and mind to enter a state of deep rest. In Yoga Nidra, the brain shifts into slower brainwave states similar to sleep, while awareness remains gently present. This helps regulate the nervous system, replenish energy, and restore a sense of balance when life feels overwhelming. As Elden and I grew together as mother and son, Yoga Nidra became more than a tool for survival. It became a trusted companion. Now it supports me in staying regulated, in listening more deeply to myself, in receiving insights that arise from quiet places within, and in opening to the subtle and unseen layers of experience. It’s why I love sharing this practice so much. This Friday evening, Katie @heart_fields_ and I will be offering a deeply nourishing Yoga Nidra + Soundbath at The Mothertree. Come rest. Come reset your nervous system. Come reconnect with the deeper wisdom within you. Friday 3/13 6:00 PM The Mothertree, 1257 Lydia. Sliding scale $26-44 We would love to hold this space for you. 🌙. #nidrashaktima #yoganidra #nidrashakti #restlouisville #soundbath

Finding your Pulse is a rhythmic voyage into the body, through grounding movement, vibration, and breath, attuning to the steady pulse of the earth. Breathwork, crystal bowls, drumming, and Reiki are experienced simultaneously, woven into a single intentional practice. Guided breath anchors the space while crystal bowls and live drumming create a continuous field of vibration, echoing the heartbeat of the earth. This experience borrows rituals rooted in reverence and rhythm, igniting the soul to find your harmonious flow. Christi Scoccola, Katie Martin, and Nicole Bartlett are Reiki practitioners dedicated to embodied healing through movement, breath, sound, and energy work. Christi, founder of Divine Drumming, brings a sense of settled embodiment through cleansing the energetic field. Katie, founder of Attune-Reiki, helps others access harmony and presence through vibration and movement. Nicole, founder of Breath of the Wild, supports emotional release and spiritual balance through conscious breathing. Together, we create inclusive spaces that integrate sound, movement, and mindfulness. Our shared mission is to make holistic healing accessible and transformative for all who seek deeper self-awareness and connection.

🔗 to book in bio! ☀️☀️ Happy March! ☀️☀️ We are in the final weeks of winter, gently transitioning toward spring. How can we work consciously with this threshold energy in our own lives? How does this shift show up in our bodies? How does it want to express itself? I find myself settling into an enlivened resolve to consistently live in my heart. We know the heart chakra as the bridge — connecting the three lower physical chakras with the three upper spiritual chakras. In this same way, heart energy can bridge the introspection of winter with the emergence of spring. In Chinese medicine, the Heart is the keeper of clarity, consciousness, and spirit. When the Heart is supported, we experience steadiness, appropriate boundaries, and a quiet inner knowing. When it is scattered, we may feel restless, confused, or untethered. One way to care for the heart is to invite the light of our awareness more fully into the body. The more embodied we are, the more access we have to truth — to our boundaries, to what is ours, and to what belongs to someone else. This is a practice of discernment — something we especially need as spring’s increased activity and visibility begin to amplify the expression of our hearts and our lives. My offerings weave sound, stillness, breath, acupuncture, Thai massage, and energy work into heart medicine — gently guiding awareness back into the body so the heart can lead with clarity.
