Whether you saw me at the No Kings Protest today or were just here exploring my oxytocin bathing services, I have an announcement to make: I’m sorry to say I'm not offering individual sessions at this time, but excited instead about putting my entire focus on Matriarchy Building. To make sure we're on the same page about what that means, here's an article that explains matriarchy wonderfully. I feel a strong calling to be part of the shift from the current culture, designed

There’s a quiet hierarchy in the world that we tend to absorb. Physical pain sits at the top. Broken bones? A divorce? Hospital visits? Those are Visible. Valid. Undeniable. But the slow, grinding pain of not feeling fully welcome… of having to perform to belong… of shrinking yourself or pretending to keep connection… of wondering if you might just be a bad person… Or a zillion other unseen reasons These get ranked lower.

If I couldn’t study oxytocin directly, I had to choose the next most important question to dedicate

I cry easily. I always have. Sad movies, beautiful moments, relief, grief, overwhelm, connection, and sometimes just being seen . Tears come quickly for me. They love to hang around even when I’m ready for them to go, and they give no shits at all about whether it’s an “appropriate” place for them to show up. Society is not always kind about tears, so I’ve avoided plenty of situations simply because I knew they’d come and I didn’t want to deal with the response. My tears aren

If you’re considering a session, touch is likely a need you already know you have. Or one you’re curious about exploring. Oxytocin, often called the bonding hormone, is released through gentle, consensual touch. But it isn't about touch alone. Oxytocin is also deeply tied to intimacy: to being seen, understood, and met with care. My favorite description of intimacy? Into me, see. So, we begin there! Each session begins with a check-in, summed up in a simple question: What do
