How Wild Nature Reiki & Somatic Touch can help you create safety and connection this holiday season Why the Holidays Trigger So Much Family Conflict The holidays are meant to be warm and magical — but for many of us, they bring up tension, unresolved resentment, overstimulation, awkward dynamics, and old family wounds that suddenly feel very close to the surface. Why? Because the holidays combine: High expectations Old patterns Emotional history Sensory overwhelm Family roles

A Deep Dive into the Radin Double-Slit Experiments For over a century, the double-slit experiment has been one of physics’ most mysterious demonstrations of the quantum world. Photons—tiny particles of light—behave like waves until  they are observed, at which point they behave like particles. Traditionally, this “observation” means a measuring device , not a human mind. But between 2012 and 2016, consciousness researcher Dean Radin, PhD , at the Institute of Noetic Sciences

Today I had a profound realization: To survive, to practice the skills of living with the land, there is no such thing as pristine wilderness. Every piece of land is already in relationship with someone. Every forest, meadow, shoreline, or park has a history of human hands, human tending, human presence—sometimes nurturing, sometimes destructive, but always present. There is no wild place untouched by people. There is only land in relationship. For a long time, I believed tha

Birds listen to each other constantly. A gentle guide from Wild Nature Reiki & Somatic Touch Practice Most of us grow up without learning how to truly listen — or how to be truly heard. We learn how to give advice, how to fix, how to respond, how to fill silence… but very few of us learn how to sit with someone in their truth while staying grounded in our own body. That’s where Listening Turns  come in.This practice is inspired by the lineage of Betty Martin and the Wheel of

At Wild Nature Reiki, many of my clients are drawn to both Reiki  and Cuddle Therapy  — two gentle, nurturing practices that share one core principle: human connection as medicine . When these two modalities meet, the result is something profoundly soothing — a calm, grounded state where your body can finally exhale and let healing happen. 🌿 What Is Cuddle Reiki? Cuddle Reiki blends the heart-centered, fully clothed touch of consensual cuddling  with the subtle flow of unive

Lately people have been curious about what polyamory really means in practice. Below is a conversation-style exploration of how I live it—how I balance honesty, love, and freedom while keeping every connection grounded in consent and care. 💞 What does being polyamorous mean to you personally? For me, polyamory means being open to romantic and emotional connection with more than one person, with honesty and compassion at the core. People can love multiple children or friends

🌿 Snuggle Sundays at Wild Nature Reiki  🌿 We’re beginning a new tradition here at Wild Nature Reiki — Snuggle Sundays ! These gatherings are a space for rest, comfort, and genuine, consent-based connection. They will follow the Cuddle Party™ rules. Because my space is cozy and my capacity is limited, Snuggle Sundays will start as invitation-only events.  I want to make sure everyone who attends feels safe, respected, and at ease. To join future Snuggle Sundays, participan

Touch is a basic human need — as essential as warmth, food, and belonging. Yet for many of us, especially in adulthood, touch can become complicated. We might crave it deeply but feel unsure how to ask. We may even feel ashamed for wanting it at all. If you’ve ever felt “touch-starved,” you’re not alone. And the truth is: asking for touch is a skill — one that can be learned, practiced, and refined with care and courage. 💞 My Experience: Learning to Ask When I attended a rec

The answer is, it's completely up to you! You decide and I'll do whatever I'm whole-heartedly willing to do within the scope of the Cuddlist Code of Conduct ( cuddlist.com/code-of-conduct ). If you need some ideas of what we might do ahead of time, there is a framework for the wheel of consent (see the other post for ideas), as well as a menu of options below: 🤗 Cuddle Menu of Options These are just a few ideas — every session is co-created. Always check in, stay within yo

The Wheel of Consent , developed by Dr. Betty Martin, is a simple yet profound framework that helps people understand the dynamics of giving and receiving  in touch and communication. It reveals that consent isn’t just about permission—it’s about clarity: Who is this for? The Wheel has four quadrants , created by crossing two axes: Who it’s for  (you or the other person) Who is doing the action  (you or the other person) From this, we get four experiences: As a practioner, my
