If you’re looking to get in this spring- now is the time to reach out!
My books will be completely closed from April 15th until May 13th, due to laparoscopic hysterectomy.

March + beginning of April is pretty open as of now, however my May is quickly filling up so be sure to get a spot on my books!

for those of you who’d like to know more, + an update on my studio, here you are:
I’ve struggled with a hormone related mood disorder (PMDD - often times misdiagnosed as bipolar) that my affects mental and physical health 20-22 days out of the month, each month.

I was also diagnosed with endometriosis during my tubal in Jan of 2024, so double the physical pain, fatigue, aches, etc.
I spent over an entire year searching for holistic answers, then over a year trying different medications and living through god awful side effects from different SSRI’s and HRT.
After one of my friends posted about her endo issues, and the incredible doctor she was seeing (Dr. Robb Rydynski) my interest peaked; then I found out three friends of mine had been seeing him for various issues, so I finally made the call.

Feeling validated in your pain by doctors who know more than you on a topic, that you’ve been down every single rabbit hole on the internet learning about was absolutely life changing.
He believes there’s a very strong correlation between the chronic pain of endo and the symptoms of PMDD.
Typically - to get “rid” of PMDD you’d have to do a full Oophorectomy (removal of ovaries as well) which comes with a whole slew of other health issues + medications to prevent bone loss etc.
Dr. Robb is hopeful, that if we just remove the uterus and the endo, my PMDD symptoms will also subside. The tears I cried you guys😭

I’ve created such a beautiful life, and business all while dealing with chronic pain and mood swings.
Now imagine me doing all of that without the chronic pain?? I can’t even begin to imagine the life I will get to live.

That being said - things will be financially tight for us for awhile and I’ve come to the very hard decision of closing down my studio.
I’ve loved every single moment in this space, creating countless memories over the last two years, however it’s just not serving me in this moment of life and it’s time to let it go. (for now!!)

I feel it’s important to share these things, we as women do not have enough conversations regarding our health, and reproductive systems.
I know I’m not the only one who suffers from PMDD- but I am lucky that I am done having children so I can move forward with this surgery.
My heart is with all of the PMDD + endo warriors ❤️‍🩹
