      <image:title>Blog - What Hiring a Business Mentor Taught Me About Growth, Alignment, and Trusting My Path</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the biggest breakthroughs of the year was developing my signature offering, Re+Center: Restorative Practices for Deep Healing. This was the first time I created something that wove together my modalities – Reiki, breathwork, sound, restorative practices, and intuitive guidance – into one cohesive experience. I launched Re+Center and ran it twice in 2025. Both events filled beautifully, and the feedback was powerful. Re+Center is now a cornerstone of Akamai Healing, something I’m deeply proud of and excited to continue growing. Through Rise, I achieved so many milestones, including: ·       Streamlining my website ·       Increasing the consistency of private Reiki sessions ·       Expanding breathwork offerings ·       Participating in three community markets ·       Adding instruments and offering more sound healing ·       Stepping into corporate wellness events ·       Creating a monthly newsletter ·       Expanding my social media presence</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 2025: The Year I Chose Myself – and Everything Changed - Somewhere in the fog of burnout, a spark of clarity appeared: What if I built something of my own? Not just one thing, but the two things that represented the two sides of my experience – the healer and the strategist.</image:title>
      <image:caption>And so, with equal parts terror and determination, I began pouring into Akamai Healing, my holistic wellness business that I had formalized as an LLC six months prior, and I created MAB Consulting, a new government contracting consulting LLC. Akamai Healing became the heartbeat of my year, spending nearly every waking minute on it. I dedicated my life to it – my intuition, my training, my creativity, my courage. And it grew. Not slowly, not gently, but in a way that felt like the universe saying, “Yes. This. Keep going.” I grew Akamai tenfold in 2025. Ten. Times. Over. I still have moments where I sit back and think, How did I do that? But the truth is, I did it by showing up scared, trying things that failed, trying again, showing up imperfectly, and showing up anyway.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Falling in Love with Yoga: My Journey in Yoga Teacher Training</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cultural Awareness and Responsibility One of the most powerful aspects of the training was its emphasis on cultural humility and responsibility. Yoga is not just a wellness trend; it’s a spiritual tradition with deep roots in Indian philosophy, religion, and history. As someone outside that culture, I had to confront the uncomfortable truth: yoga in the West has often been stripped of its context, commodified, and appropriated. At Be Free, we didn’t shy away from these conversations. We leaned into them. We examined the history of colonialism and its impact on the transmission of yoga to the West. (One text we read was “Embrace Yoga’s Roots” by Susanna Barkataki. I highly recommend this book for all teachers and students!) We explored the difference between appreciation and appropriation. We asked hard questions: How do we honor the lineage of yoga while making it accessible? How do we avoid perpetuating harm? How do we teach with integrity?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - From Burnout to Balance - From Burnout to Balance</image:title>
      <image:caption>Now, I realize a full career change in a matter of a couple of months is not possible for most people. But I have learned a lot, mostly through trial and error, about burnout and stress management. It’s something I now feel incredibly passionate about, so much so that I’ve created a workshop called Soul Revival: A Journey from Burnout to Balance for women who are in a similar spot – burnt out from work, health stressors, family obligations, caregiving … the list goes on and on. In this three-hour workshop, we’ll gather in sacred sisterhood to share our experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly!) and begin developing support structures and tools to help us navigate the challenging times that contribute to burnout. We’ll incorporate guided meditation, creative time, supportive energetic practices, and spacious unwinding time, including a sound bath. You’ll leave refreshed with tangible tools to practice on the way to moving from burnout to balance.</image:caption>
