A Lantern for the Seeker
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m writing a book. I started a couple of years ago, but for a long time I was just poking at it, trying to get clear about what I really wanted to say. I knew it wasn’t a memoir, and it wasn’t a how-to book either. I wasn’t interested in giving people steps to follow. I want to offer something much quieter, something that would feel like a gentle companion on the path.
Well, after all this time, I’m finally birthing a book. (Cue the choir, chanting hallelujah!)
This book was born not from ambition but from necessity. In early 2023, my body gave out. I woke up inflamed, unable to move, unable to work. And I knew, deep down, that my body was calling me back to myself—calling me to listen, to feel, to rest, and most of all, to heal.
The journey since then has been raw, beautiful, and humbling. It has brought me home to the practices that saved me: breathwork, intention-setting, essential oils, energy healing, ritual, and writing. These are the threads I’m weaving into the book.
A Lantern for the Seeker isn’t here to tell you what to do. It’s here to remind you that you already know. It’s here to help you remember the sacredness that lives within your own body and story.
I’ll be sharing parts of the book here on my blog as I go—some finished pieces, some works in progress, some small offerings from the edges of the page.
Thank you for walking with me.

This book isn’t a blueprint. It’s a lantern—lit from the inside, offered to those walking through the dark.
