we believe in principles-based learning which makes sessions an experience where guests get to learn about their specific needs and also the basic understandings of how everything works. this allows fresh homies to own the tools to take care of their body with the utmost respect with the least-amount of high quality resources. we also prefer to provide tested and approved resources so guests don't have to rely on marketplace manipulation.

i spent years creating neurodivergent & dyslexia friendly resources like habit trackers, medicine logs, self & mental care accountability worksheets, belief-work exercises, important book, pod and playlist recs, etc. to ride along with us on our journey. i like to tailor to each person's aesthetic, comfort and needs so make the experience more soothing and fun and less like a job or list of tasks
