Reflections, practices, and guidance to weave neural pathways
for healing and ease.
The Enchanted Loom offers reflections, gentle practices, and compassionate guidance for those living with chronic pain, fatigue, and other persistent or unexplained symptoms, and for those who care for them.
It’s also a space for mindbody practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding and nourish their work with greater presence, nuance, and confidence.
Join me in exploring how we can weave threads of possibility — and new neural pathways — for healing, connection, and a life that feels more whole.
What to look forward to on a weekly-ish basis:
Thoughtful reflections on mind, body, and healing;
Gentle, embodied practices to explore at your own pace;
Nuanced perspectives beyond quick-fixes and dogma;
Support for feeling more like yourself again;
Insights for practitioners to bring more compassion and complexity to care.

About the name for my newsletter
“Enchanted loom” is a metaphor from pioneering neuroscientist Sir Charles S. Sherrington, who described the waking brain as “an enchanted loom where millions of flashing shuttles weave a dissolving pattern, always a meaningful pattern though never an abiding one; a shifting harmony of subpatterns.”
I find deep beauty in this passage, and in the idea of awakening as both a literal and metaphorical process: awakening to life, to healing, and to the ongoing path of liberation. Also, for a long time I’ve been drawn to metaphors of threads and weaving, something that evokes artful intentionality and the cultivation of liveliness in a way that doesn’t require relinquishing or banishing the difficult parts of our story, but instead integrates them more fully into a rich tapestry of experience, honoring the full range of what it means to be human.
