Spirituality looks different for everyone. For me, I find magic in remembering - that we are never separate from the universe, from nature, from each other, from the rhythm that moves through everything. 🌿✨

We can do all the “right” things for our health - run all the tests, take our supplements, change our diet, exercise regularly….

But healing is never - just - physical.

It’s also mental, emotional, and spiritual.

In my own journey, it took me a long time to accept how closely my physical body was intertwined with my mind, emotions, and spirit.

But ignoring any of these layers didn’t make them go away… it only furthered my disconnection and limited what healing could really look like.

Learning to honor each dimension of my health was expansive.

Especially when it came to connecting with my head and heart, therapy, coaching, somatic work, breathwork, and meditation served as powerful tools.

More on this in my latest Substack ❤️

“A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else’s imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real”

This week we dove into our very human tendency to orient externally and the freedom that comes with returning to ourselves, again and again.

Color walks = mindfulness in motion.

I love mixing these in because they help me turn off autopilot, wake up my senses, reduce stress, boost creativity, and be present with the beauty around me that I might normally miss 💜

Today’s color was: purple.

I thought this one would be harder to spot, but it was everywhere ✨

Wellness isn’t about chasing perfection.

It’s not about performing health. And it’s not about following every “should”.

It’s about being in dialogue with yourself - noticing how things land, choosing what works for you, and leaving room for the things you love *just because*

Ever delete photos of yourself from a trip? 🙋‍♀️ I definitely have.

Last summer, I went to Greece with my mom - we had the BEST time. The trip was magical, but many of the photos told a story I didn’t want to claim - so I stealthily deleted them from her phone.

I saw in them a bloated, inflamed version of myself that didn’t match the way I was experiencing the trip. The images felt like a direct threat to my joyful memories, as if their existence might erase the goodness I had felt in those moments.

Looking back, I realize that I handed far too much power to those photos (something I think a lot of us can relate to).

Sunday’s Substack was all about shifting my relationship to photos and remembering that the magic of life is always in the living of it.

I used to believe my life was on hold until everything was “perfect”.

When my bloating was gone, energy back, brain fog lifted…when I was finally “healed”, then I could start living.

But the truth is - we can be present with life as it unfolds.
We can experience pain and joy at the same time.
We can be in the becoming - and even enjoy it.

Realizing there was no finish line freed me from chasing “there” and allowed me to turn my attention to HERE.

Here’s your permission for presence. And for living fully in the becoming 🌿

I didn’t intentionally take a break from mirrors. But a month without them shifted something.

Not seeing my reflection gave me space to see more clearly. I started to notice how much I was using how I looked to decide how I felt. The difference between looking at myself and being with myself was loud.

But without the mirrors in my home, I found my reflection everywhere else:
in my relationships
in my morning walks through the woods
in how I spoke about myself and others
in the stillness of meditation

We lose touch with our inner compass when we start to conflate how we look with who we are… or how sick we look with how sick we’re allowed to feel.

It’s natural to seek out stories we relate to, especially when we’re navigating our health.

One of the great things about social media is it gives us a platform for relatability, human connection, shared experience.

There is so much power in story. But how we relate to these stories is important.

Ask yourself if the content you’re consuming is bringing up curiosity or comparison? Are you feeling inspired or inadequate?

This isn’t always easy to discern. Especially with the overwhelming amount of stories, templates, guides, and blueprints available to us, it’s important to nurture our practice of checking in.

Notice what resonates, release what doesn’t. Stay connected to your own experience, even if you’re finding guidance from someone else’s.

Make room for:
💧resonance without replication
✨inspiration without imitation

I’m not particularly interested in adding more to the noise, being another person telling you exactly what to do or buy or what wellness needs to look like.

Instead, I want to offer The Wellery as a resource and a mirror.

I want to create a space you can return to for reflection, insight, for grounded support. A resource that doesn’t shout - just quietly offers something when you’re ready to reach for it.

But I also want The Wellery to be a mirror.
Because as much as I can share tools, stories, and guidance from my own path - there is deep wisdom already inside of you.

Sometimes we just need the space, or the stillness, or the right kind of reminder to notice it.

A mirror doesn’t force anything. It simply reflects what’s already there.
That’s what I hope this space can be.

A place that nourishes you and reminds you of your own capacity. That offers new ideas and helps you recognize how much you already know.

You don’t need to do more, try harder, or be someone else to move toward healing.

You just need a well you can draw from -
and the reminder that you have your own well within you, too.

Today, we’re spotlighting Margo - one of my dearest friends. If she were a season, she’d be Spring 🌸🌱

Some of Margo’s go-tos:

💧 Outdoor movement
💧 Practicing gratitude
💧 Baths 🛁

In this season of life, Margo has been allowing herself to just be - where she is, and not always in pursuit of what’s next.

She leans on her compassion, grace, and determination.

Some quotes that Margo keeps close ✨
“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places” - Roald Dahl

“In the midst of winter, I have finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer” - Albert Camus

💌 As we gather these, we’ll be weaving them into The Village Well - a living, breathing resource created by this community, for this community.

Agency and control can look similar from the outside. But if you pause, you can likely feel the difference.

Agency is rooted in trust.
Control stems from fear.

Can you take a moment to check in with the energy behind your choices?

For me, this is a constant practice. Just last week, I found myself slipping into control - scared, anxious and tense about my health… wondering if I was doing enough.

So I paused.
I sat face-to-face with my fear, acknowledged it and the very valid reasons it was there - and then gently chose to shift my energy back toward love and trust in my body.

The difference was immediate. I softened. I felt more spacious, more whole.

We’re human, and slipping between these states is part of the journey. But returning to our inner compass - again and again - is what changes everything.

Today, we’re spotlighting Morgan - a multipotentialite, Pacific Northwest lover, and someone who really GETS the ups and downs of navigating her own health & wellness.

Some of the things that have been keeping Morgan rooted lately:

💧 Yoga
💧 Simplifying her routine
💧 Backwards to-do lists

This season of Morgan’s healing journey feels like: finding her chill in the unknown.

She leans on her intuition, creativity, and silliness.

Her current mantras?

Happy Spring Equinox 🌷🌿🌼🌱🌸

Happy Spring Equinox 🌷🌿🌼🌱🌸

March is endo awareness month 💛 I get a lot of questions about my endometriosis excision surgery with @seckinmd that I had last August. Here’s a little insight into what that journey looked like for me.

I’m deeply grateful to the Seckin team and Lenox Hill for their care, compassion, and for making me feel hopeful and validated. Huge thanks to my mom for being by my side and to @springbone for fueling my first week post-op.

This part of my journey has reinforced something so important: we know our bodies best. Trust your intuition, listen closely, and NEVER stop advocating for yourself - you deserve answers and relief.

Endometriosis is underdiagnosed and misunderstood, but sharing stories helps raise awareness. If this resonates, let’s keep the conversation going. If you need support, my DMs are always open ✨

Sometimes, we need a simple reminder to just be(e) 🐝✨

Be here. Pause for a moment. Take a deep breath. Feel your feet on the ground, the air filling your lungs, and the rhythm of your body.

From the bee, we’re reminded that intention can be more impactful than speed. Even in its busyness, it moves with purpose, harmony with the flow of life, and connection to the world around it.

Bio-individuality is the idea that each of us is unique when it comes to health, wellness, and lifestyle. What feels amazing for one person might not feel quite right for someone else—and that’s perfectly okay.

We’re all shaped by different factors: genetics, environment, daily habits, even the season of life we’re in. That’s why there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for feeling good.

This applies to everything—from wellness routines to how you navigate care. Just because a certain protocol worked wonders for someone else doesn’t mean it’s the perfect fit for you. And if it’s not, that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. Your body’s needs are yours—and they’re constantly evolving.

Learning to navigate this is like learning a new language. Your body is always giving you clues about what it needs, but tuning in takes time and curiosity. When you slow down, connect with your intuition, and experiment without judgment, it becomes easier to figure out what resonates—whether it’s movement, nutrition, or a treatment plan.

As a health coach, my role is to create space for you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. I’ll help you sort through the noise, identify what feels aligned, and empower you to trust the guide within. It’s not about finding the perfect approach—it’s about finding your approach.

I’m always happy to share what works for me, but my experience is just one piece of the puzzle. Maybe it resonates with you, and maybe it doesn’t. What matters most is this: you’re listening to yourself above all else.

“When I speak of healing, I am referring to nothing more or less than a natural movement towards wholeness … It is a direction, not a destination; a line on a map, not a dot.” — Dr. Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal 📚

When I first began my healing journey, I clung to the idea that one day I would finally “arrive.” I imagined a moment when I would be symptom-free, when I could confidently say, “I’m healed” and move on.

But as I’ve walked this path, I’ve come to understand that healing is not a single moment or finish line. It’s an ongoing process of learning, growing, and reconnecting with myself. It’s about pouring love and care into my body, mind, and spirit—so I can fully engage with life as it unfolds.

Healing is a direction: a choice to move toward wholeness, even when the road is rough or uncertain. It’s knowing that rest, resilience, and self-compassion are as much a part of the journey as progress.

“When I speak of healing, I am referring to nothing more or less than a natural movement towards wholeness … It is a direction, not a destination; a line on a map, not a dot.” — Dr. Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal 📚

When I first began my healing journey, I clung to the idea that one day I would finally “arrive.” I imagined a moment when I would be symptom-free, when I could confidently say, “I’m healed” and move on.

But as I’ve walked this path, I’ve come to understand that healing is not a single moment or finish line. It’s an ongoing process of learning, growing, and reconnecting with myself. It’s about pouring love and care into my body, mind, and spirit—so I can fully engage with life as it unfolds.

Healing is a direction: a choice to move toward wholeness, even when the road is rough or uncertain. It’s knowing that rest, resilience, and self-compassion are as much a part of the journey as progress.

To anyone on this path: you are not walking it alone. We are all moving toward wholeness in our own way, one step at a time.

The New Year often comes with pressure to go, go, go—to change everything at once. But nature teaches us another rhythm.

It’s still very much winter—a time for reflection, regeneration, and replenishment, not urgency. If rushing into new routines feels unnatural, maybe the next step isn’t to push harder but to pause. ❄️

Pauses are already built into our lives, nature’s rhythms, and even our biology. They’re there in the stillness of winter, the space between breaths, the moments between meetings and tasks.

For me, learning to lean into rest and stillness has been paramount during my health journey. In a world that values productivity over presence, slowing down felt unnatural at first. But it was in those moments of stillness where I started reconnecting with my body, trusting my intuition, and healing in ways I never thought possible.

When we step off autopilot and honor the pause, we reconnect with ourselves. We find clarity, intention, and agency. Maybe instead of rushing forward full speed at the start of the year, you feel called to slow down. Notice the pauses. Trust yourself. From this foundation of stillness, authentic action will follow.

Reflecting on all of the little moments that filled my well in 2024 ❤️ grateful for the reminders of how beautiful and dynamic life is — the highs and the lows and the magic found in all of the micro-moments in between.

I’m stepping into 2025 holding onto the power of presence and the practice of returning to myself. The new year offers an opportunity to reflect and reset, but remember: we can begin again in any moment ✨

A lot of the people I speak with and work with have big exercise goals and want to incorporate regular movement into their lives. But what many of us come to realize is… it’s not always so easy. Motivation is fleeting.

Real breakthroughs happen when we connect with something deeper—when movement becomes less about “shoulds” and more about honoring our bodies. From that place, it becomes easier to hold ourselves accountable and find alignment with our actions.

Growing up as an athlete, exercise was always functional for me. Over time, like so many people, I started to feel the aesthetic pressures tied to movement. Then, when I became really symptomatic, exercise fell completely off my priority list.

My relationship with movement has shifted so much since then—and will continue to. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what exercise means to me now, why it matters, and what feels aligned with my goals and the way I want to feel in my body.

For me, movement can take different forms every season, every week, every day. Living in a dynamic body has taught me to really learn my body’s language, to listen for what it needs, and to honor its boundaries. No matter what it looks like, moving my body in some form is a foundation I always come back to.

Why do you move? 🥾🤸‍♀️🌲

It’s easy to feel at war with your body when you’re unwell. For years, I thought my body was broken and that I was in a time crunch to outsmart and overpower my symptoms. In truth, real healing began when I stopped fighting and rekindled my friendship with myself.

It’s never you vs. your body. Your body is not the enemy, you’re on the same team.

I used to love making art as a kid, but at some point, my perfectionism took over. I started avoiding anything I wasn’t automatically ‘good’ at. Art is just one form of creative expression, but rekindling my love for it has been such a powerful reminder that creativity is innate to all of us—it’s part of being human.

A few years ago, my friend and I signed up for a multi-week clay sculpting class in NYC. During the first few sessions, I struggled with how hard it was (as if I’d magically be great at something I’d never done before, lol). But I quickly remembered how meditative and cathartic creating something with your hands can be. I found myself looking forward to that class every week.

Creativity can nourish us just as much as food, rest, and movement. A big shift for me has been intentionally making space for it in my life—whether it’s crafts with friends, collaging, cooking beautiful meals, arranging flowers, or building The Wellery.

To my fellow recovering perfectionists: you don’t have to be ‘good’ at it for it to feel good. Creativity is about expression, joy, and connection.

What’s your favorite way to express your creativity? 💬🎨🎭

When the noise of appointments, second opinions, research rabbit holes, and unsolicited advice feels like too much, remember this: step outside. Be with the trees. Let their quiet wisdom remind you that your body isn’t broken.

We are nature—resilient, ever-changing, and always growing. Just as the trees shed and bloom with the seasons, there is life and renewal within you too. Trust in the stillness, the beauty and the knowing. 🌲

For years, I had this underlying feeling that there was something in my abdomen that wasn’t supposed to be… turns out I was right. I have endometriosis, and in my recent excision surgery, they found a whole lot! While I wish it didn’t take so long to figure out, advocating for my health and finding @SeckinMD is something I am so proud of.

Endometriosis is a whole-body chronic inflammatory disease that affects at least 1 in 10 women, but takes 7-10 years on average to be diagnosed. Symptoms are very often dismissed or they mask as another condition; women are misdiagnosed with appendicitis, IBS, ovarian cysts, colorectal cancer, and more.

I remember being hospitalized with severe, unexplained pain, and discharged with no direction, just confusion and fear that I was missing something potentially serious.

From @SeckinMD: “The battle against endometriosis is as much an awareness issue as it is medical”

So thankful for the Seckin team, @endofound and for accounts like @endometriosisem for spreading awareness and giving me the courage to trust my gut, advocate for myself and find answers!

I have been fortunate to find and work with many incredible providers over the past several years who have listened to me, believed my symptoms, and made efforts to help me heal.

Unfortunately, in the midst of finding these providers, I was dismissed by at least twice as many. I was led to believe that I was either making everything up, just being dramatic, or that I was a total lost cause.

Medical gaslighting is sadly SO commonplace for those (especially women) navigating mystery symptoms and complex chronic conditions. Constant dismissals are disheartening and exhausting. It can make you lose trust in your body and sometimes your own sanity.

If this resonates with you at all, remember that you know your body better than anyone. You’re not crazy, it’s not “all in your head”, and you deserve to be heard by your healthcare providers.

Never stop advocating for yourself 💛

Life with chronic illness shifts constantly—month to month, day to day, even moment to moment. For years, I felt completely at the mercy of these changes.

One of the most powerful tools I’ve learned is how to tap into the JOY I’m inherently worthy of—regardless of my symptoms.

This doesn’t mean ignoring my body’s signals. Instead, in both ease and distress, I’m learning to connect with an inner peace that’s always there, no matter what.

Of course, there are days when smiling feels impossible. But one of the greatest gifts I can give myself is the practice of returning to that unshakable part of me—the peace that exists beyond circumstances.

Being home in Oregon always reminds me to slow down and take a deep breath. 🌲✨

When my symptoms were at an all-time high and my well-being was at an all-time low, I left the fast-paced life I was building in New York and returned home.

Stepping away from the life I thought I wanted was so hard. But here, surrounded by the trees I grew up with, I spent months re-learning how to be in my body, re-assessing my care plan, and re-regulating my nervous system as best I could. It was here that I discovered what it truly means to tap into my inner “well”.

Coming back to Oregon reminds me of the beautiful promise I made to myself: to honor my body, mind, and spirit above all else. 💛

Being surrounded by nature always helps me feel grounded. Where do you feel most at peace? 🌿

10 years. 40+ doctors. Countless treatments. And one lesson I wish I’d learned sooner: the most important resource in my healing journey was me.

After graduating from Cornell, I started my career in investment banking in NYC. On paper, everything looked perfect—but behind the scenes, I was battling chronic symptoms, juggling endless appointments, and making regular trips to the ER. I was barely staying afloat.

Eventually, my body made it clear: I couldn’t keep living this way. I changed jobs, took medical leave, left New York, and made healing my priority. From the ground up, I learned to listen to my body, trust my intuition, and reconnect with the wisdom I’d lost along the way.

This journey led me to create The Wellery—a space for anyone navigating complex health challenges to reconnect with themselves and find clarity, empowerment, and ease in their healing.

Wherever you are on your health journey, the resources you need might already be within you. 💧

The Wellery is here to support you with:
✨ One-on-one health coaching

✨ A vibrant, connected community
