Yesterday was a special new moon Lunar New Year, also known as the Chinese New Year. We are entering the year of the Wood Dragon.

Of all the animals in the Chinese Zodiac, only dragons are mythical. This means we are entering into a year when unprecedented things could happen - where long standing ...

Happy February!

This is a wonderful month for us to celebrate connectivity, nourishment, and taking action as we embark on Kapha season, the season of Earth and Water.

I am going to Costa Rica next week where adventures will be many, nourishing food will be plentiful, and our community will connec...

Have you noticed there is an owner's manual for the appliances we buy, and even for our cars, but we remain the greatest mystery to ourselves? We are perplexed by our own behaviors, bodies, and experiences.  

This means we know more about how our washing machine works, than say, how our digestive s...

The first half of January was filled with two retreats; one in Beaufort, NC and one in Abingdon, VA. Witnessing the transformation in the women who attended both of these retreats was a true honor. I got to see participants settle into a flow of winter nourishment and also deepening connections thro...

I want to to introduce you to a wonderful woman named Ethel, who is part of the Vitality Circle. In this video, she explains the incredible breakthroughs she experienced during her first year in the Vitality Circle. She loved it so much she signed up for a second year. 

This year is rolling and it ...

For many, this time post holidays can be really challenging. Many people I have spoken with lately feel like they have been in a funk. We put lots of time, energy, and attention into the holidays and this time of year feels like a trough after a large wave. Perhaps this poem resonates with how you a...

Happy New Year’s!

2023 has been quite a year hasn't it?

Thank you all for your engagement with Heartfelt Wellbeing in 2023! Whether you have invested in one of my programs, come to an in-person retreat, joined me for yoga or an Ayurveda talk, or just looked at my social media posts, I couldn’t do ...

It's Christmas Eve today. Whether you celebrate this holiday or not, our culture provides us a break during this time, which can bring up A LOT.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of this time of year, perhaps tinged with grief and loss, I want to take a moment to remind you: You matter. You, attending t...

The Winter Solstice (the longest night and shortest day of the year) is here. The Solstice represents the end of the pendulum swing from light to dark through the solar year. 

Now is a time of dreaming, intuition, planting seeds of intention, resting more, and rebuilding from any type of depletion ...

We're approaching the end of the year - a time to reflect, take stock of where we are, and plant seeds of intention for what 2024 will hold.

Tonight is the 4th night of Hanukkah - I have been loving lighting the candles in my menorah (which I inherited from my grandparents) each evening at sundown ...

Happy December! It’s the season of roasted roots in the northern hemisphere.

The cold and dry qualities of Winter can be appeased by us eating more dense, slow cooked vegetables. It’s the season of abundance of sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, and parsnips.

Bake a pan of these winter roots and feel...

Now that the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, can you sink into the stillness of the season for a bit now and connect deeply within?

Ayurveda teaches us that this time leading up to the Winter Solstice is one of stillness and reflection.

How ironic that culturally we make it one of the most busy a...

In this week of Thanksgiving in the US, I am grateful for you, and everyone in this community.

May we enjoy the bounty of this time of year amidst the heartbreak going on in our world. It's a poignant time to be alive, and simply being a human each day can feel challenging. During this time of disc...

A friend recently said to me, "Hannah, you are a vessel maker! You started when you were young making vessels out of clay, and while that has continued, you now make vessels that are transformational containers for women who are blessed to work with you."

This reflection blew my heart wide open. Ye...

This is a picture of my bedside table. While the books might give you insight into what I am curiously and ambitiously learning about 2 pages at a time each night before I fall asleep (lol!), and it is true that I use a purple eye mask every night, what I want you to focus on is something else in th...
