Okay, where are my baby bump babes at?! 🤰🔥

I’m looking for 3 expecting mamas to come in this summer for a hella super discounted maternity bo***ir session to break in my new studio space.

And no—this isn’t your standard “hands on the belly in a flower crown” kind of shoot (unless you’re into that, then let’s do it).

I’m talking:
✨ Lingerie and bare belly
✨ Draped sheets and soft glam
✨ That “I still got it” energy before baby comes in and steals the spotlight

Because listen—I know pregnancy can make you feel like a potato with a heartbeat some days 💀

But you’re still THAT girl.
You’re creating life and still out here slaying, even if you’re wearing the same leggings 5 days in a row (no judgment, same).

This is your moment to feel hot, held, and hyped the hell up.
TAG YOUR MAMA TO BE FRIENDS- THEN DM ME.

You know what healing looked like for me?

🌙 Sleeping through the night without waking up in panic
💌 Not rereading my text 5 times to make sure it sounded “okay”
💰 Not spiraling when I invested in something for me
🧘🏽‍♀️ Sitting in peace without wondering when the other shoe would drop

That’s what nervous system regulation actually does.

And inside Detox Trauma, we do the work that creates those shifts.

Not just “talking about it.”
Not just journaling and hoping it sticks.

You’ll move it through your body.
You’ll break the patterns.
You’ll meet your edges—and soften into them.

You’ll walk differently.
You’ll respond differently.
You’ll start to recognize yourself again—in the best way.

Because the healed you isn’t a whole new person…
She’s just the version of you who finally feels safe being herself.

We start Wednesday. 5 spots left.

You just want to feel again.

Feel feminine.
Feel peace.
Feel alive—not just surviving, not just going through the damn motions.

You want to feel the wind on your face and actually breathe.
Not shallow, hold-it-together-all-day breathing…
but that deep, chest-opening, “I’m safe. I’m good. I’m me.” kind of breath.

You want to look in the mirror and not pick yourself apart.
Not suck in, not cover up, not spiral.
Just look.
And think, “She’s been through some sh*t… and she’s still here.”

You want to feel like you again.

But what does that even mean anymore?
It means laughing without guilt.
Saying no without a panic attack.
Wearing the outfit you like.
Being touched without flinching.
Looking at a photo of yourself and thinking, “Damn, I remember her.”

That’s what happens in my studio.
You start FEELING again.
Not performing. Not pretending.

Just being… you. Fully. Unapologetically. Finally.
And it’s so much closer than you think.

🖤 Drop a “ME” if you’re ready to feel again. I got you.

I remember the first time I looked in the mirror after having Chason.

Baby number four in less than 6 years.
Back-to-back pregnancies.
And for the first time ever…
I didn’t recognize the woman staring back.

The weight from previous babies had never left.
My face was softer, fuller.
My clothes barely fit.
And on top of it all—
my body was fighting battles I couldn’t even name yet.

Mystery symptoms. Chronic exhaustion. Medical gaslighting.
And silently, I kept asking myself:
“How could he still be attracted to me?”
But then one day… everything shifted.

I was holding Chason—snuggled up on my chest—and I realized:
This body?
This body kept me alive.
It carried me through postpartum preeclampsia.
Through undiagnosed kidney disease.
Through trauma I’ve never spoken out loud.
Through SA. Through heartbreak. Through all of it.

My body never gave up on me.
Even when I gave up on her.
That day, I stopped fighting her.
And I started thanking her.
She is not broken. She is not too much.
She is a temple. A vessel.
And she’s damn badass.

This is why I do what I do.
Because too many women are staring into mirrors right now, feeling like strangers in their own skin.
And they deserve a moment to come home to themselves.

If this hit you—come see what’s possible when you stop punishing your body…
and start celebrating her.

Come feel what it’s like to see yourself with reverence again.
Drop a 🖤 if you're ready to book or want more info. I got you.

06/03/2025

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard it...
“I’ve always wanted to do something like this, but I’m too afraid.”

But here’s what I’ve learned after photographing hundreds of women:
It’s not fear that stops you.
It’s something far more dangerous—doubt.

See, I don’t hate fear.
Fear wakes you up.
It puts butterflies in your belly and reminds you—you’re alive.
Fear means you care. It means something big is on the line.
Fear is what you feel right before everything changes.

But doubt?
Doubt is the real dream-killer.
Doubt is quiet. Sneaky.
It doesn’t scream—it whispers.
It clouds your vision, tells you you’re not ready, not worthy, not enough.
It convinces you to wait a little longer, to shrink a little smaller, to stay a little safer.

And before you know it…
you’re frozen in a life that doesn’t feel like yours.

These shoots?
They’re not about getting over fear.
They’re about betting on yourself despite the doubt.

They’re about stepping in front of the camera before you feel ready.
Taking the leap while your hands still shake.
Doing the damn thing anyway.

Because you are worth taking the chance on.
💋 $750 session fee waived
💋 $500 credit toward your favorite artwork
💋 Real transformation. Real healing. Real YOU.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re ready to say “no more” to doubt.
And step into the version of you that’s been waiting.

We’ve been taught our bodies should be perfect.
Hide the fupa—the one most of us got from childbirth.
Hide the stretch marks.
B***s should defy gravity.
No muffin tops.
Thighs better not touch.

Honestly though....
That is the least interesting thing about you.

I don’t care if your legs touch.
If your b***s don’t stay up.
If you have stretch marks, scars, or sagging skin.
Most of us do.
None of us look like we did at 16 (thank God—because I dont want to look. like a CHILD.

But you know what does matter?

The stories I get to witness in my studio.
→ The woman who left a DV relationship and found love again.
→ The one who beat cancer.
→ The one who buried her husband and still smiles through the pain.
→ The one who hasn’t found love yet, but knows she’s enough.
→ The one who couldn’t have children and still found her purpose.
→ The one who lost a child and still shows up for herself.

That’s what matters in the real world.
Not the highlight reels. Not the filters. Not the flat stomachs or perky b***s.

You are so much more than your physical.
That will always be the least interesting part of you.

She messaged me the night before.
“I don’t think I’m ready.”

Her body felt foreign.
Her confidence? Shaky at best.
She wasn’t sure she deserved to be photographed in this season.

But what she really meant was:
“I don’t recognize myself anymore.
And I’m scared I won’t like what I see.”

I’ve heard it before—whispers wrapped in self-protection.
Because for so many women, especially the ones who hold it all together,
being seen feels like exposure.
Like danger.

But she came.
Nervous. Quiet. Holding back tears.
And I held the space like I always do—slow, sacred, soft.

And when I showed her the first image,
she exhaled.

Then cried.

Because for the first time in a long time…
She saw her.

Not the mom.
Not the caretaker.
Not the achiever.

HER.
The woman who’s still in there.
Who never left—she was just buried under everything she was told to be. 📸

This is why I do what I do.
This is why bo***ir in this studio isn’t just a session.
It’s a reclamation.

And if you’ve been feeling like a stranger in your own skin lately…
I have two spots left this month for the women who are ready to come home to themselves.

DM me the word RECLAIM if that’s you.

05/28/2025

You’ve done the therapy. Now it’s time to feel it.

She’s 38.
A mom.
A leader.
A woman who’s held it all together for everyone else—until the moment she sat in that chair.

And then she cried.

Not because she was sad.
Not because she was broken.
But because—for the first time in a long time—she saw herself.

Not the “good girl.”
Not the peacemaker.
Not the version of her that performs strength 24/7.
She saw her.

The woman beneath the masks.
The one who’s been waiting to come home to herself.

✨ Bo***ir isn’t a gift for someone else.
It’s a portal back to you.
To your joy.
Your softness.
Your power.

And this summer… the door is wide open.
📆 June + July + August sessions now open
🔥 $0 session fee
🔥 30% off all collections

DM “SUMMER” to grab your spot.
You don’t need to be ready.
You just need to choose you. 💫

05/27/2025

I’ve never been great at following the rules…

Especially the ones no one said out loud, but you felt anyway:
“Don’t need too much.”
“Don’t speak until it’s safe.”
“Stay calm, stay small, stay in control.”
“Be everything for everyone—and ask for nothing.”

Yeah… those rules?
I burned them.

Because for years, I was the woman who looked like she had it all together.
Running the business.
Fixing everyone else’s problems.
Answering the texts.
Checking the boxes.
Smiling while falling apart.

But behind the filtered life?
I was spiraling.
Overthinking every post.
Getting paid—and immediately panicking.
Succeeding—but feeling like it could all fall apart any second.

And no one saw it…
because I was so good at pretending I was fine.
Not broken.
Not dramatic.
Just bracing.

Because my nervous system was never taught peace.
Only performance.

And that’s exactly why I created Detox Trauma.

Because when your body still thinks:
→ Love = Hustle
→ Rest = Guilt
→ Visibility = Threat
→ Receiving = Collapse...
You’ll never feel safe with the life you’re building.

Detox Trauma is officially open.
A 4-week trauma-informed MicroMind for the high-functioning woman who's ready to stop spiraling and start feeling safe in her own skin.
✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Identity healing
✨ Emotional safety
✨ Zero fluff. All fire.

This is the container where your body stops bracing—and starts receiving.
We start soon. $499 for 24 hours before it goes full price.

Your nervous system is already saying yes.
