For the Love of Books! 

Soulful Reads for the High Vibin' Mama

Books have been one of my greatest teachers on this healing journey—guiding me through motherhood, energy work, self-love, and frequency healing. Whether it’s a book I return to again and again, or one that cracked something open in me during a tough season, each one has a place in my story.
On this page, you'll find a list of some of my favorite books that you may find me talking about on my blog, in emails or on social. (including a few that I wrote in!) 
Hoping I am able to connect you with some reads that will inspire, empower, and elevate you! Some of these are great solo reads, others are perfect for journaling alongside, and many will be part of upcoming book discussions and circles.

📆 Upcoming Book Gatherings

There’s nothing like gathering in community to reflect, share, and heal through the power of a good book. I’ll be hosting and co-hosting regular bookish events—sometimes online, mostly in-person (Main Street-style), always soul-nourishing.

Books & Bowls
This is more than a book club, it's a space to slow down, reflect and reconnect.  Books & Bowls weaves together inspiring literature, journaling, shared reflection and the calming resonance of crystal bowls to nourish mind, body & soul.

We will meet monthly with a new book & theme per month.  You can read the book if you would like to enhance your experience but it is not required.

Click Books & Bowls for more details & to grab your spot!

The Artist's Way Creative Circle
A 3-Month Journey of Creativity, Healing & Self-Discovery

This spring and summer, I'm inviting a small group to walk throug a creative healing journey together using the beloved book The Artist's Way.

Click Artists Way for more details & to join us on this journey!


💬 Interested in co-hosting a circle or retreat. Or have a book you would like to suggest? Email me or DM me on IG—I’d love to co-create something beautiful together.
