My name is Antha.
Late Breakfast is an expression of my healing journey.
I’ve always had a lot on my plate. From being a theatre kid from an early age to balancing full time work and grad school, I stayed busy – and that’s how I thought I liked it. It wasn’t until my body started telling me to slow down that I saw that as an option. I spent many years of my life on autopilot, feeling like “I just have to make it through _______ and then I can rest.” After experiencing extended periods of burnout, I realized it was time to find my own flow. I started to recognize that always having plans and stacking my schedule no longer aligned with me. But breaking that cycle felt easier said than done. It took diving deep into understanding my mental health and learning that suppressing intrusive thoughts what not the way to find freedom from them. It was through not fighting with the mind but learning to see its patterns, that I began to see myself.
When I was ready to open myself to stillness, it felt as though stillness found me.
Meditation, Sound and Energy Healing opened my eyes to subtler ways of being. After living a life of full schedules and feeling like there isn’t enough time in the day, my meditation practice showed me that there is always time to take a moment for myself, to ground, to breathe, to re-center. Just as meditation opened the doors to a deeper understanding of myself, completing my 300 Hour Yoga teacher training led me to explore what life has to offer and remain present through it all.
The same sense of exploration that led me to try new things as a kid, is how I connect with my inner child.
Through finding ways to weave together my love of art and creativity with healing offerings, I hold space for you to get to know yourself in a space free of judgment. My approach to healing is through helping the inner child to feel seen. Through 1:1 Inner Child Sessions, Photo sessions and group healing events, I hold space for your inner child to express themselves. Self-care connects us to our inner child. It can be easy to let our struggles overshadow our joy. Or letting past experiences overshadow the present. Through the inner child we learn to reclaim our ability to love ourselves unconditionally.
My Why
I want self-care to feel like a priority.
There’s a difference between knowing self-care is good for you and actually feeling the commitment to stick to your routine. There came a moment I felt a shift to where self-care became a non-negotiable part of my day. I allowed myself to explore the many facets that spoke to me on a physical and energetic level. My goal is to help self-care become a priority for you too. Through self-care products, 1:1 healing sessions, group events and corporate workshops my goal is to help your self-care practice be a part of your everyday. It can feel easy to forget about self-care while at work as other priorities arise. That’s why I also specialize in supporting clients who work 9-5 jobs to find ways to care for themselves during work hours.
My goal is to connect self-care and people who need it. The narrative that “I don’t have time for self-care” or “I’m too busy” teaches our mind and body that we are not worthy of time to regulate or unwind. My hope is for your to see wellbeing as a priority regardless of anything on the inside or outside that encourages your self-care to take the backseat.
