When Mercury is retrograde, those in between spaces might feel vast, as as Mercury moves direct we have an opportunity to bridge the gaps. Look back over the past three […]
This month, I’m offering some very special Grounding Sessions to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself you feel like you’ve lost.
