The work I offer — breathwork, embodiment, liberation through eros — is not separate from how I care for myself.

This page shares some of the ways I sustain my ability to create, teach, and hold space with integrity and heart.

“Tending myself is tending the future.”

Sustaining the Work: Physical, Emotional, and Creative Care

Being able to offer deep, transformative work requires that I tend to myself just as intentionally as I tend to my clients and community.

Financial sustainability is not just about survival — it's what allows me to stay rooted in this work with my full heart and capacity.
It allows me to:

• Devote my full focus and energy to my clients and creative offerings, without being pulled into cycles of scarcity or burnout.

• Engage in continuing education and study, so that I can keep growing, evolving, and bringing richer, more expansive tools to the spaces I hold.

• Access the types of self-care and support services that nourish my physical and emotional well-being — from bodywork and healthcare, to therapy, to somatic coaching, to sacred rest.

Beyond that, sustaining this work means investing in practices that may be less visible, but just as essential:

• The tech tools that help me organize and share my voice when overwhelm or brain-fog would otherwise silence it.

• The rituals and breathwork practices that keep me connected to my own body and spirit.

• The relationships of mutual aid, community care, and creative collaboration that remind me I’m not doing this alone.

I believe that sustaining myself — financially, emotionally, physically, creatively — is not separate from the work of liberation.

It is the work.

Because we don't just resist oppression through what we produce. We resist by surviving, by thriving, by continuing to dream, to create, and to love — even when the world tries to strip that from us.

“Nothing blooms without tending.”

The Tools That Scaffold Me

Sometimes I use lightweight tech tools — like AI writing assistants — to help bridge the gap between the thoughts swirling inside me and the words I offer to you.

Especially since lockdown, my ability to focus and write clearly has shifted.

I don't use these tools to create for me, but to help organize, edit, and shape my own voice when brain-fog or despair would otherwise leave me silent.

This support lets me stay in the conversation — about breath, about liberation, about love.

I wrote a more in depth piece about this for my Patrons. Ask if you’d like me to email it to you.

“The work thrives when the worker is nourished.”

Rituals, Breath, and Embodied Care

Sustainability is not just external — it's somatic.

I root myself through breathwork, through ritual, through the daily practices of unclenching, pausing, and listening to my own body. It’s been more difficult through my health challenges, but I still do it.

This is what lets me meet others with presence and depth.

It’s what lets me create without forcing or extraction.

“We are not meant to burn out to prove our worth.”

Community, Kinship, and Mutual Aid

No one sustains this work alone.

I am held by networks of care — friends, mentors, healers, collaborators — who remind me I am not an isolated vessel but part of a living, breathing web.

Mutual aid, shared resources, emotional witnessing — these are part of my foundation.

Caring for myself is never separate from caring for my community.

“My thrival is my resistance.”

Sustaining this work is not about perfection.

It’s about staying connected — to breath, to body, to each other.

Thank you for being part of the living ecosystem that makes this work possible.
