Hi Reader, Welcome to our new subscribers and gratitude to our long-timers RBBPers. It's been a busy year, hence this is the RBBP first newsletter of 2026 😯🤦🏻♀️😆! I hope that you've been continuing to nurture your creative spirit in both your life and business since last we connected. We just made it through the devastating 🌀Hurricane Lala🌀 here in Hawaiʻi 🌺. Thankfully, weʻre okay where we are 😅 - no damage at our place, just still no power and no water (grateful for solar and bottled...

Hello, Reader! I'm excited to share that last month, I earned my SEP™ Certificate 🎉 and I'm now officially a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner 🙌🏽! Woohoo!!!! Below, I share about my own growing edges during the final training along with an exploration of how Coherence creates a bigger container.

Hello Reader, For my b-day earlier this year, my husband and I island-hopped to Oʻahu to see ʻAuana, the Hawaiian Cirque du Soleil. Side note: In some alternate reality (sans joint pain & a fear of heights!) I'd maybe be a contortionist or aerial silks acrobat. I'm awed by circus performers' artistry & skill! 🤩 My husband and me at 'Auana. I teetered at the edge of my seat watching the acrobats perform their gravity-deifying stunts. Not only was I thoroughly entertained, I also couldn't help...

Hi Reader, I know the world is intense right now! I hope that you're finding your way through these turbulent times and I hope this email brightens your day 🌞. A couple months ago I received an inspiring message from long time RBBPer, writer and website designer Mari Pfieffer. I asked her if I could share a bit of her story because I thought the rest of our community here might feel uplifted by it, and gosh, do we sure need some of that right now. In January, Mari and her family, along with...

Hello Reader, Thanks again for subscribing to my somatic coaching newsletter where I'll be sharing tips on somatic practices, tending the nervous system, trauma healing and more. For this first issue of the newsletter 🎉, I'll share a client story (with permission) about a surprise lesson from hummingbirds 💚. Recently, I was doing an online somatic coaching session with a woman of color, I'll call her Samantha, who has been supporting immigrant families impacted by ICE. As you can imagine,...

Hi Reader, It was so great re-connecting with you all the other month! I really appreciated the kind notes many of you sent me about the new direction of my work doing somatic trauma recovery coaching (👈🏼 come follow my new IG!)😊. Below I share how body doubling helped me launch my new website. The Power of Creative Cohorts A few weeks ago I completed my Somatic Experiencing Advanced 1 course 🎉! I've got one final class to go and then I'll officially be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner by...

Hi Reader, If you're new here, welcome! And for my long-timers, it's been a minute and I'm so grateful to be in our right-brain community together. A lot has changed for me in the last year since I've sent a newsletter (AND a whole heck of a lot has changed in the world, too, even more in the last handful of months, especially here in the US 😳😵💫!). I hope that, no matter where you are, that you’re staying grounded and resourced even amidst all the chaos so that you can keep sharing your gifts...
