Happy Summer Soul-stice!
How is your beginning of summer? Maybe it is full of energy, fun, with a mix of completing to-do lists while trying to have more rest and relaxation. Today is the day with the most light and energy – I like to think of it as the Soul-stice. It is an auspicious day where we can pause half way through the year, reflect on the past, and consider setting creative intentions for your life going forward. The summer is when our hearts can be the most open, as the summer light is connected to our soul or heart’s light. Questions to reflect upon: What brings you joy? What makes you…

Emmy’s Musings and Spring Update 2017
It’s been a little while since my last blog post. It has been a full beginning to the new year in 2017! I am fortunate to have been asked to create an online course for the American Occupational Therapy Association on “Occupational Therapy with Complementary Health Approaches and Integrative Health.” This came about after petitioning them with the Holistic OT Community requesting that they offer more continuing education courses on these topics. I spent most of the end of December and all of January, in between client sessions, creating this course. Integrative Medicine is being utilized by more people in recent years. For example, there are twice as many people in…

I understand that life sometimes gives you circumstances that seemingly keep you from creating what you want. We may not realize…
