Primary day in CT!!!
If you didn’t early vote? Still time to cast your ballot today!!!!!

That’s probably the last hair donation i’ll do…. 30 years of grow, chop, grow. No colours. No treatments. Just virgin-brown locks delivered to non-profits making wigs for those who need them.
Thank you, JeicobyScott for taking good care of what we left on MY head!!!

Love getting bodywork? Love feeling more ease in your body? Love the opportunity for the nervous system to ‘reset’ and settle during your session?

The best way to let your massage therapist know you appreciate them? Rebooking and Referring!

Please note - it has been a BUSY summer for me, and early Autumn is even more full!!!!
Sooooo, I’m happy to book from now through end-of-year!
So don’t hesitate to schedule that holiday thai massage for your sister who will be visiting, a thanksgiving race recovery thai massage for yourself, or a ‘just because’ post-summer thai massage for your partner!
860-268-3498 or [email protected] will reach me!!!!

So, since I wasn’t able to share the post i hoped for (getting to hear Ocean Vuong’s talk at The Wadsworth Atheneum), i am sharing this instead….
And there is room for YOU!
I took YTT to deepen my practice. And i did. Discovering that i enjoy teaching? A happy accident and pleasing side effect 😁
If you want ‘more’ from your yoga practice, consider this program. Amy, Sushma, & Sarita are all amazing teachers & incredible humans!!!

“Our next 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training begins soon and we’d love to have you in the circle. This is more than a certification. It’s a journey of self-discovery, community, and transformation.” - Sushma Reddy

We are just over a month away from The Wall That Heals’ only stop in CT!

It is the most rewarding volunteerism and means the absolute world to our Vietnam veterans, their families, and the community.
If you can not volunteer? At least plan a visit!

Volunteer | The Wall That Heals | Putnam CT Volunteer We Are Still Seeking Volunteers For This Event!

Today was some time in Philly… and i visited the Eastern State Penitentiary. Wow! What an amazing, educational, and somewhat ‘creepy’ tour. At points i swear i felt ghosts.
There was a treasure hunt. Of COURSE i earned the sticker!
Only one successful escapee who was never caught!
Capone was one if the most famous prisoners.
And there are art exhibits that are thought-provoking, powerful, and really unique to this exhibit space. And no, i don’t think we have really progressed when it comes to incarcerating criminals.
Only spent about 2 hours there - train to catch and all - i would have explored for another hour if i had the time!

This is SO cool! Giving back to the community where we live, play, & work is something i believe in. If you happen to have time on Sat, 8 August? Join Maria of Samadhi Yoga Studio for a free class in Manchester!!!!

Feeling the weight of your world upon your shoulders?
Need some relief from too much head-forward position???
I have had a cancellation in West Hartford for tomorrow (Thursday, 30 July 2026) and can offer a 2 pm (90 or 60 mins) or 2.30 pm (60 mins) Thai massage!!!!
Text me at 860-268-3498 ASAP if you want to claim it!!!

What a busy, intense, AWESOME weekend!

Deep gratitude to the eleven participants who remained ‘in it’, inquisitive, and engaged through 2.5 days of learning. It was so good to be diving deeper and being more creative with like-minded yogis!

Thank you, Samadhi Yoga Studio, Amy, & Sushma for inviting me to be a part of the training!
