Slow Mornings, Strength Training & Sound Healing in San Diego: Signs, Alignment & New Beginnings

May 2

Today felt like a deep exhale.

A slower start, meaningful connections, and moments that reminded me I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. Between strength training, retreat planning, and facilitating a sound bath in San Diego, it was a day that blended rest, growth, and alignment.

A Rare Slow Morning

I got to sleep in today, which is rare for me.

Even when I try to rest, my body naturally wakes up around 6:30 AM. But today I had nothing scheduled in the morning, and being able to roll over and go back to sleep felt like such a gift.

These slower mornings are something I’m learning to honor more, especially as I balance my full-time work and growing my sound healing business in San Diego.

Connection + Community: A Call with My Brother

After easing into the day, I had a really good phone call with my brother.

He’s one of my biggest supporters and has been such a big part of my journey. He helps with many of my sound bath events, especially my free monthly community events through The Phoenix.

He’s also an incredible indoor climbing instructor and has advanced training from Colorado. That’s actually how we both first got introduced to The Phoenix, through a climbing event I found on Meetup. The only requirement to attend was 48 hours of continuous sobriety, and it ended up being such a fun and meaningful experience.

I’m excited to see him next weekend in Los Angeles for Mother’s Day. He’ll also be helping me at my Mother’s Day Sound Bath in Manhattan Beach at HEAL LA on May 11 at 1 PM.

My mom will be there too, and getting to share sound healing with my family always feels so special.

Strength + Expansion: Training at Smart Fit Method

Later in the day, I headed up to Smart Fit Method Training Center in Rancho Santa Fe for my first session.

This was a completely different kind of workout. It’s an advanced resistance-based training system that uses technology and AI to track and analyze your progress.

I met with Max, and I’m really excited to start incorporating this into my weekly routine. The system logs your performance in real time, and next time I go in, I’ll be doing a full body scan to track progress over time.

As someone who facilitates sound baths across San Diego, building strength is becoming more and more important. Carrying equipment, setting up spaces, and holding energy all require physical and mental endurance.

Business + Vision: Alaska Retreat Planning

After my workout, I stayed in the same area for a business meeting with Teresa, the owner of Hoonah Matata Lodge in Alaska.

We met at Positano Cafe for matcha and then continued our meeting over lunch at Leucadia Pizza.

We finalized details for my upcoming Hoonah, Alaska retreat, which will be called:

The Four Elements Retreat: Air, Fire, Water, Earth

This will be a small, intimate group of just 7 participants, and it’s truly going to be unlike anything I’ve ever offered.

I’ll also be hosting live Zoom presentations where I’ll walk through all the details, followed by a live Q&A.

Anyone who attends the Zoom will receive a channeled guided meditation infused with Reiki, inspired by the land, water, and energy of Hoonah, Alaska.

I’m so excited about this offering. It feels expansive, aligned, and deeply connected to nature and spirit.

Evening: Sound Bath at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

After some time at home working on retreat marketing, I headed out to facilitate a sound bath at Estancia La Jolla.

It’s such a beautiful space, and I love connecting with guests who are experiencing sound healing for the first time.

Every session is different, but the intention is always the same:
To create space for people to slow down, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with themselves.

Whether it’s a hotel experience, a private session, or a community event, offering sound baths in San Diego continues to feel like such an honor.

Signs from the Universe: 444 + Yellow Butterflies

All day, I kept seeing 444.

On cars, everywhere.

And not just that, but yellow butterflies, both today and yesterday.

I’ve always felt connected to signs like these. To me, they feel like little “winks” from the universe, reminders that I’m aligned and on the right path.

Today especially, it felt loud. Like the message was being repeated over and over again.

And in those moments, all I can do is pause and give thanks.

Evening Tarot Reflection: Releasing, Choosing & Building

Before closing out the night, I felt called to pull cards again, and this spread felt like a deeper layer to the message I received yesterday.

10 of Swords
2 of Wands
3 of Pentacles

The 10 of Swords felt like a clear ending. A release. Letting go of old thought patterns, old versions of myself, or anything that has felt heavy or mentally draining. It didn’t feel negative, it felt like completion. Like something has run its course and is ready to be laid to rest.

The 2 of Wands brought in choice and vision. Standing at a threshold and deciding what direction to move in next. It felt like expansion, like I’m being asked to think bigger, beyond what feels comfortable, and to actually choose the path that aligns with my purpose.

And then the 3 of Pentacles grounded it all.

Collaboration. Building. Community.

It reminded me that I’m not meant to do this alone. Between my sound bath offerings, partnerships, retreats, and the people who continue to come into my life, everything I’m creating is supported through connection and shared vision.

Together, the message felt really clear:
Release what’s done, choose your path, and keep building with others.

Integration + Gratitude

From slow mornings to strength training, from retreat planning to facilitating a San Diego sound bath, today was a reflection of growth, alignment, and expansion.

This journey continues to evolve, and I feel so grateful for every opportunity to share sound, build community, and step deeper into my purpose.
