As I sit down to write this, I’m reflecting on 2024—a year that stretched me, surprised me, and reminded me of the beauty in both the messy and the magical parts of life.
2024: A Year of Achieving Dreams and Facing Challenges
It’s hard to believe how much has happened in just 12 months. One of the biggest highlights? Spending more time with family and connecting more with my community of students. After years of feeling like life was moving too fast, those moments of connection were grounding.
A 10-Year Milestone in Love
This year, my relationship hit the 10-year mark. It feels surreal to even write that, knowing I was once someone who could barely manage a few months of commitment. But let me tell you, it hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Especially this year, when life threw us the challenge of refurbishing a property in Tenerife from afar. At times, the stress shook our foundation, bringing up fears and patterns I thought I’d left behind. Yet, through it all, we found our way back to each other—stronger and more understanding.
Turning a Dream into Reality
Speaking of Tenerife, buying a property there was a dream I almost didn’t dare to dream. Together with Norbi, we created a beautiful rental space in Costa del Silencio (Canary Islands)—a sunny retreat designed for rest and renewal. It’s been equal parts exciting and humbling to see it take shape. Have a peak of it here and let me know if you'd like to know more about it. https://www.instagram.com/casa_luminaria/
Moments That Filled My Soul
This year wasn’t all challenges, though. I’ll never forget standing on the sunlit hills of Tuscany during my 10-day Breathwork graduation retreat. It was a culmination of years of study, a reminder of why I’m so passionate about this work. And then there were the workshops and classes at Zenw2 Collective, where I witnessed the transformative power of community again and again.
But perhaps the most precious moments were the simple ones— the day of that picture above watching the sunrise in Tenerife with messy hair and few hours of sleep, walking hand in hand with my partner, visiting my family, leading a retreat in Glastonbury or simply pausing to breathe and take it all in.
An Unexpected Pause
Just as the year was wrapping up, life slowed me down in the most unexpected way: I got sick. It wasn’t how I planned to end the year, but it became an unintentional reminder to rest, reflect, and recharge. In the stillness, I found gratitude for my health, my community, and the resilience that carried me through the year. Therefore, you might have noticed that my today's classes have been cancelled.
Looking Ahead to 2025
As I think about 2025, I feel a bubbling excitement for what’s to come:
