Morning Greens 🌅

Adding intention to my mornings is a practice.

Lately, my mornings consist of:

¤ Drinking water
¤ Moving my body
¤ Feeding my body
¤ Feeding Dutch (my pup)
¤ Feeding the patio birds
¤ Getting creative
¤ Journaling, exercising, more water....

If you can stack healthy habits onto each other, you're more likely to be consistent when adding something new!

Custom habit trackers are a creative tool I've been thinking of creating for folks. ✨️

Is this something you'd be interested in?

🪴 Plant something new, water it, and watch it grow!

Drop a YES below for a FREE customized habit tracker * Cause I love creating for others with intention ♡

📷: New Matcha I'm testing from * Not sponsored, but I'll let you know after my first 5 days if I make the switch 😉 *

🍂 Calling on Hapé plant spirit and Cacao to tap into the slowness of this season

Every day, I sit with this mother rose blend by and the cacao I'm currently sipping is a Maca Cacao blend purchased near San Fransisco.

🌿 I am looking to offer donation based Hapé experiences to those interested in the Sacramento area (message me for travel compensation as I'm open to this as well)

This would look like 🪶

• Kelsee arriving at your home with everything you need to sit with this medicine.

• Holding space for you to tap into your heart safely and judgment free.

• Creating a ceremony space that honors where this medicine comes from and those who gathered and prepared this medicine.

• Playing a plant medicine icaros and choosing music that guides you through your short yet powerful experience.

• Offerings of crystal, cards, and sound healing during your time enjoying Hapé s***f.

🪶🌿 Those interested may message Kelsee through Instagram or email us at [email protected]

Fall 🍂

Fall looks a lot different here than it does in my home state of Washington, or in Oklahoma where we've been the last two years.

As the mornings become crisper and the wind hits the trees, acorns falling fast and my face red from the breeze.

I'm reminded to slow down, to breathe intentionally and to find balance in the changing of the seasons.

Still learning and creating, just a little slower these days 🍃 🍂 🍁

🌿 Plant Embodiment

Embodiment: To truly embody something means that you have a FULL-BODY, FELT experience of that thing/state/experience. It means that you don’t just know something as thoughts or mental understanding, but that you also FEEL IT ⚡️

🪶 Tap into the knowing of your ancestors and have the opportunity to sit with multiple forms of plant medicine while in a safe container.

FEEL your connection to plants 🌿

💫 Pricing for this retreat will be released within the next two weeks and will be held in Northern California.

📅 Mark your calendar for April 2023!

🪶 Comment a plant medicine you've recently felt called to learn more about or increase your relationship with.

New Season 🍂

• Three year celebration of being a Licensed Massage Therapist
• Fourth state I've been licensed in!

I'm looking to start working with clients within the next few weeks while also starting a new job within the pilates community- all while chasing my dreams of hosting wombyns retreats!

So excited for this new season 🍁

Shadow Work ☻️

Have you heard this term?

Shadow work is looking at the darkest parts of ourselves and beginning to understand them more deeply.

Seeing your shadows, asking them questions, pondering where they stem from.

Shadow work is deep, intentional, and can be scary.

The ego keeps us safe and alive but it's also afraid of change (the soul) as change is new territory -even if it's healthier territory.

So to do shadow work you lean into the darkness with your light and create a change through habits, your surroundings, your friendships, loving yourself on newer levels all along the way.

Shadow work is beautiful and I hope to continue walking with you friends as you make space for these healthy and necessary changes.

"The pain to stay must be greater than the pain of uncertainty, to change" -Unknown

Are you ready to dip your toe into your own shadow and walk out brighter, lighter and CHANGED ✨️

💫 Diving deeper within my own knowing and focusing on the good I can bring together locally.

Looking forward to scoping out some retreat spots in NC, SC and Maryland early September but for now am focusing locally with day retreats!

Found what I believe is a Oak Hawk Moth sitting outside today and thought it to be quiet beautiful and a great replica of the oak tree itself!

🌟 Look out for some website and social media changes soon as this account gets recreated (for the algorithm) and our website updates with details of upcoming events local to the Sacramento area! 🌟

🕯 Transitions in healing 🕯
Change is something I'm becoming more comfortable with as I see how much good can come from it.
🔥 Burning away the old so that the new can be brought to light.
A lot like what we're seeing right now happening for the collective. Healing old wounds, burning away old versions of ourselves, and bringing forth a more awakened generation.
🤲🏻 It can be scary, but we're here to support you along the way!

🕯 Remind your inner child you are safe, seen and so loved today 🫂
Years of feeling overwhelmed, uncomfortable
and flat out confused for fathers day.....
💫 Transformed into brunch with my father in law, calling the best step father I could've asked for and reaching out to other male figures who stepped up for me throughout my lifetime.
👣 Don't allow your day to be consumed with past relations, hurt and pain.
Let go of that energy, you don't have to hold onto it anymore, step into the new FREE you, and remember it's really just another day.

🕯 Lightmaker Origin
Between 2020-2021 it felt as though a shadow of division, fear and grief was looming over our country, and our world.
It was (and still is for many) hard to find balance between light and dark.
➡️ We had to reignite the fire within, teach ourselves to focus on gratitude and learn new skills to bring into this new earth is 2022
🕯 We read lots of books, listened to those speaking life and light into the world, and focused on what we COULD control and change.
So were going to share some of our favorite folks who helped us focus on the LIGHT these last two years ⤵️ (not associated with these companies just appreciate them!)
Has chapters in many states and is worldwide! 🌎 This really helped Kelsee find a local community of positive people in Oklahoma & California!
that were focused on keeping the freedoms we have and empowering the people!

This book by Karen Walrond really helped both of us step out of fear & being frozen and focusing on CHANGE and JOY. Focusing on gratitude, remembering joy, especially as an energy sensitive person is so important and this book really helped kickstart that movement.
Guided us through their Retreat Leaders Course to create our WHY and give us momentum towards our retreat leader goals. We were able to create two retreats in Oklahoma within a short amount of time (a little too short but we're learning) and are so fired up for creating more! Bringing healing meaning and purpose to these spaces and doing so almost alongside so many other leaders as well! Kori and Christian have really stepped up as guides in this setting and all whilst running amazing retreats themselves! (And adding a little one to the family)
We love sharing our story and look forward to bringing more people together over the years.

🇺🇲 Remember and Honor
The men and women that gave their life, the ultimate sacrifice, for our freedoms.
So that we may look inward to heal ourselves and outwardly heal the collective.
That we may know some peace in our daily lives and have freedoms of choices.
Thank you for those who have served and are currently serving.
Today we remember the lost but never forgotten.

💫 Healing comes in many forms
Sometimes its staying up by moonlight to play sound bowls, burn a gratitude reiki infused candle and give yourself a facial massage.
▫️ Palo santo, sage and other smudges are always a go to when I start to feel gunked up. Move the goo, release the energy, clear the blockages, and move forward!
▫️Sound therapy has been scientifically proven and understood to help clear energy blockages as well. Playing them versus having them played for you are two different qualities but both powerful!
(I have a sound surprise coming soon too!) 🌟
▫️Reiki infused objects have been positive for me as well! I've recently found a mist that just makes me feel like warm sunshine and this candle truly helps me sit with Gratitude during meditations.
💫 Get out of the Funk, out of the pattern, and move forward!

💫 Energy Funk
Do you ever have a day or week that just feels like it's a bit off what you expected, had hoped for, or felt was right?
🌕 The full moon along with other cosmic shifts has me in this in between space of unknowing. In the past this would create havoc in my life as my inner child wants control and clear expectations always. Cloudy days filled with exhaustive activities, staying busy, feeling like I'm doing enough, and looking for validation was also normal for me.
💫 New me is breathing deeper, sitting quietly, moving and resting in moderation along with holding my inner child and telling her
"It'll all be okay" Lots of salt baths, wearing my crystals, and sunshine today ☀️
My only goals are to dive deeper, find clarity in my purpose and SLOW DOWN.
🤲🏻 I share all of this as I hope someone who may be feeling similiar, can know they are not alone and that this too will flow into something new.
