Late August carries a unique kind of stillness—a sacred pause between seasons. The fire of summer begins to soften. The light starts to tilt. Nature prepares to let go.
For centuries, cultures around the world have honored this time as a portal of transition—a return to rhythm, reflection, and deep remembering. And for women especially, the Fall Equinox can serve as a mirror and medicine: a time to recalibrate from the outside-in and recommit to what matters most.
In this blog, I want to offer you a space to reflect on your inner rhythms, honor the power of seasonal transition, and prepare for something deeper: a return to yourself.
This sacred seasonal threshold also marks the relaunch of my Women’s Holistic Health Coaching & Mentorship Program—because this isn’t just about healing symptoms or learning protocols. It’s about anchoring into a way of being that honors your whole self.
Late Summer is a Threshold
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, late summer is associated with the Earth element—a time of nourishment, digestion, and grounding. It’s the season of the spleen and stomach, both physically and symbolically responsible for how we take in, integrate, and metabolize life.
If spring is for planting and summer for growing, late summer is the pause before the harvest.
But how often do we truly pause?
So many women move through life in perpetual summer: overdoing, overgiving, overfunctioning. Always producing. Always pushing.
And yet, the body—especially the female body—is cyclical. Rhythmic. Seasonal. She was never meant to live in constant output.
The Wisdom of the Fall Equinox
The Fall Equinox, arriving around September 22, is the moment of equal light and dark—a moment of balance. It invites us to ask:
- Where have I been overextending?
- What in me is ready to be released?
- What needs tending before the inward pull of winter?
The Equinox reminds us that letting go is a form of health. Just as the trees begin to drop their leaves, we too are invited to shed what no longer serves.
In the body, this might look like:
- Releasing inflammation
- Releasing toxic thoughts or people
- Releasing perfectionism and hyper-independence
- Releasing unintegrated trauma or stories about who you "should" be
This is the energetic soil from which true holistic healing grows.
My Own Equinox Reckoning
I didn’t always live seasonally or rhythmically. In fact, for most of my adult life, I lived in chronic override. I pushed through health symptoms, emotional fatigue, and the whispers of my intuition because I thought success required sacrifice.
But the body has its own laws. And eventually, mine called for a reckoning.
Over time, I began to see the connection between my autoimmune symptoms and the relentless stress I had normalized. I saw how deeply my nervous system needed restoration. I saw how I had abandoned seasonal self-care in favor of external achievement.
The shift didn’t happen all at once. It happened in moments of surrender. One fall, several years ago, I remember standing outside at dusk, watching the leaves drift to the ground. And this phrase came through so clearly:
"The body knows when it’s time to let go. So should you."
That was the moment I began building what would eventually become the Women’s Holistic Health Coaching & Mentorship Program.
Fall as a Feminine Portal
Autumn isn’t just a season—it’s an initiation. It calls us into feminine wisdom: slower, deeper, more rooted.
In fall, we:
- Turn inward
- Reflect honestly
- Tend to what has been neglected
- Prepare to rest
- Receive the harvest of our inner work
This is what I guide women into—not just during the program, but through how it’s timed. This next cohort begins right around the Fall Equinox for a reason.
Because I believe your healing should align with the Earth, not fight against it.
Your Invitation: Pause.Reflect.Recommit.
So I offer this as a journal prompt or ritual as we approach September:
1. What are you harvesting right now—emotionally, physically, spiritually?
2. What are you holding onto that you know it’s time to release?
3. What would it look like to move through this season with grace and grounded power?
2. What are you holding onto that you know it’s time to release?
3. What would it look like to move through this season with grace and grounded power?
About the Program: A New Kind of Health Reclamation
The Women’s Holistic Health Coaching & Mentorship Program isn’t another self-improvement bootcamp. It’s not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering yourself.
We work with:
- Nervous system regulation to address stress-related symptoms and root trauma
- Functional nutrition and detox support for inflammation and hormonal imbalance
- Sacred feminine principles to reconnect with the rhythms of your body
- Somatic tools and community support to heal in a space of compassion
This is for the woman who’s tried the supplements, the diets, the endless protocols—and still feels like something’s missing.
This is for the woman who senses that healing isn’t about doing more—but coming home to her body’s wisdom.
What Makes This Different
Here’s what I hear from women again and again after the program:
“I didn’t know how disconnected I had become from myself until I felt what it was like to return.”
“I’ve been in health coaching spaces before, but this one finally made me feel safe enough to rest, to feel, and to trust.”
“My symptoms didn’t just shift—my relationship with my body transformed.”
That’s the power of integrating science, soul, and somatic healing.
We Begin Again: September 20, 2025
Our next 12-week journey begins just before the Equinox—so you can enter this season in rhythm, not resistance.
You’ll walk away with:
- A calm, regulated nervous system
- Tools for long-term stress recovery
- A supportive community of like-hearted women
- Clarity around your personal health patterns
- A deeper relationship with your body’s signals and wisdom
Closing: This Is Your Season
Nature doesn’t rush. She doesn’t resist her own rhythms. And neither should you.
If your body has been asking for a different way—this is your invitation to listen.
If you’ve been craving not just relief from symptoms, but reconnection with your whole self—this is your portal.
As we approach the Fall Equinox, may you let go of what no longer fits. May you remember how to rest. And may you enter this new season with clarity, courage, and support.
Let this be the season where you stop fixing and start honoring.
Let this be the season you reclaim your rhythm.
