February often brings a familiar theme: self-love.
For some, that word feels inspiring.
For others, it feels kinda weird, confusing, or even frustrating.
If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t know how to love myself,” you’re not alone.
Here’s a thought this month:
Self-love isn’t something you suddenly feel.
Self-compassion is something you practice.
Self-compassion is the bridge.
It’s how we learn to stay with ourselves in moments of stress, exhaustion, self-doubt, or emotional pain.. this replaces abandoning ourselves or pushing harder.
It looks like:
• Being gentle with yourself
• Allowing rest without guilt
• Setting boundaries that protect your energy
• Choosing support instead of pushing through
This is especially important for high-functioning, capable people who are used to taking care of everything on the outside while feeling exhausted with constant internal pressure on the inside.
It may feel a little foreign and awkward initially. But with practice, it becomes more natural. It’s a micro shift that brings massive momentum.
How Self-Compassion Works
Many of the people I work with don’t lack strength or motivation.
What they’re missing is space.
Space to slow down.
Space to process what they’ve been carrying.
Space to be supported rather than being the one who holds everything together.
Self-compassion isn’t indulgent.
It’s regulating.
It’s healing.
And it’s often the missing ingredient when stress, anxiety, trauma, or burnout keep repeating despite “doing all the right things.”
Investing in Yourself Is an Act of Self-Compassion
As you may have noticed, my website is being refreshed this month to reflect a deeper focus on Trauma Healing Intensives and the upcoming Spa Immersion experience.
This shift reflects something I believe deeply:
Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is stop trying to heal in fragments and choose focused, intentional support.
An intensive is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about giving yourself the time, structure, and safety to heal the deeper things that are subconsciously running the show… more efficiently and more gently.
It’s about:
• Working with your nervous system instead of against it
• Addressing core wounds, not just surface symptoms
• Creating real change in days rather than months or years
• Leaving with clarity, tools, and a felt sense of relief
For many clients, choosing an intensive becomes a turning point, they get “unstuck” because they were finally willing to prioritize themselves in a meaningful way.
A Gentle February Intention
Instead of asking yourself, “How can I love myself more?”
Try asking:
• How can I be more gentle with myself?
• Where can I slow down, soften, or receive support?
• What am I ready to release so I can feel more like myself again?
Self-love doesn’t start with grand gestures.
It starts with listening.
An Invitation
If something in this resonates, if you feel the quiet nudge that it may be time to do your healing differently, I invite you to explore the updated website and learn more about the intensive and immersion options now available.
This is not about pressure or urgency.
It’s about intention.
And choosing yourself thoughtfully, compassionately, and without apology is one of the most powerful acts of self-love there is.
Sending you hugs💕
Warmly,
