Building in the Quiet: Somatic Healing, Shibari, and the Next Chapter of OneLove Journey
Things have been quiet on this page, and in truth, my OneLove Journey studio has been a peaceful, quiet sanctuary too.
Over the past couple of years, I’ve been silently and intentionally building my practice from the ground up while juggling life as a working mom with a full-time tech career. It was a lot to hold, so I chose to step back from posting online. I needed that time to focus on deep integration, upgrading to a larger office space, and holding space for a select group of clients, close friends, and family. It was essential for me to cultivate this foundation with complete presence, patience, care, and stillness.
To understand where I am today, it helps to look back at how OneLove Journey was born.
The Initial Spark & Meeting the Art
The initial spark came during a period of major personal transition while working with a therapist after my third divorce. In one particular session, she looked at me and mentioned that she could see me as a Tantric energy healer. I didn’t know what that was at the time, but I dove into research afterward and felt a deep connection to what I read. I had come so far on my self-love journey that I had outgrown relationships that no longer served me and where I was heading into the future, but for the first time, I felt true confidence in myself and my self-worth. That session ignited a vision inside me: a deep desire to hold sacred, healing space for others on their own paths. I wasn’t sure how I was going to go about it, but here we are!
Not long after, Reiki found me. My journey began with online courses and self-study, which unexpectedly led me to a soul sister who is both a Shibari artist and a Reiki Master processing energy through rope. Seeing Reiki and Shibari combined completely blew my mind.
Being an artist at my core, my energy work naturally found its expression through form and texture. For me, rope is my paint, and the body is my canvas. When a client trusts in the way I facilitate somatic healing through this art, we build something profoundly beautiful together. At its core, every knot and healing session is dedicated to one single purpose: a journey to loving oneself. Fun fact: that’s where OneLove Journey got it’s name.
Evolving the Practice & Building a Community Sanctuary
As my path unfolded, my studies shifted toward the Holy Fire® Reiki system. I restarted my formal training under an inspiring new teacher, receiving my Holy Fire® Reiki I & II Placements and completing my Reiki Master training under her guidance as well. Later this month I’ll also be diving into learning Karuna Reiki! I’m very excited for the next step in my Reiki journey, and seeing where it takes me!
Beyond energy work, OneLove Journey was born from a vision to be a vibrant, collaborative art studio; a sacred container meant to bring community together through creative expression. When you walk into the OneLove Journey studio, you’ll see physical artwork crafted by talented artist friends, available for purchase to support local creators. Looking ahead, I am so excited to begin hosting creative workshops alongside fellow artist friends, offering classes in wood burning, jewelry making, and more. It’s all about creating a warm, inspiring environment where we can gather, create, connect, and express ourselves freely.
Stepping Into the Light: Ways to Connect
Now, after building in the quiet, I feel ready to open the doors wider and share more of this journey with those that are meant to see it.
As a kink-aware practitioner, I create a consent-focused space designed to meet you wherever you are on your path. This work is a particularly powerful fit if you are:
Exploring Your Sexuality & Self-Expression: Seeking a non-judgmental, consent-centered space to connect deeply with your physical self on your own terms.
Deepening Self-Love & Confidence: Working to reconnect with your body. Seeing yourself artfully adorned in shibari rope offers a visually striking, empowering moment to feel sexy, celebrated, and safe in your own skin.
Curious About Shibari: Eager to explore the art and somatic power of rope under the care of a dedicated professional.
If you are feeling called to embark on your own self-love and healing journey, here is how we can step onto this path together:
Signature Somatic & Rune Rope Sessions: Experience energy work firsthand. Performed intuitively while you remain fully clothed, you rest in a soothing, Reiki-flowing "Shibari hug" while I read the energy of the ancient Runes that naturally emerge within the art.
Community Art Classes & Workshops: Join us for collaborative creative workshops designed to connect through art, self-expression, and community in a safe, welcoming space.
To keep things balanced, I update my booking calendar two months in advance on the 1st of each month (for example, on October 1st, availability opens through the end of November). Keep an eye out for upcoming art class announcements, or check the booking calendar to schedule a session with me. If you don’t see a time that aligns with your schedule, please reach out directly. If we are meant to align, the right time will open up.
Thank you for being here, for supporting this space, and for honoring your own path. I can’t wait to share this space with you!
