I help therapists, healers, and space-holders bring decolonial and liberatory values into their work—so you’re not just saying you’re aligned… you’re actually practicing it. ⬆️ More integrity, more connection, more liberation. ⬇️ Less burnout, less performative wokeness, less colonial residue. If you want a practice where marginalized clients feel safe, seen, and honored—and you want to feel more grounded and intentional in your work—subscribe and join a growing community of practitioners doing this work differently. You practice can be liberatory-- let's get you there!
And we're back!

October 2026 | issue #12 Reader, I grew up below the equator, in between cold waters and big Andean walls. In between humid mild winters and foggy mild summers. No shorter days in winter, no longer days in summer. School and university taught me when vacations were “supposed” to be. Holidays growing up were time off from work or school.
