For as long as I can remember, I’ve been captivated by dreams and the hidden landscapes of the subconscious. That passion led me to study and practice dreamwork, Yoga Nidra, sound healing, and other rest-based modalities — all ways of accessing the liminal spaces where insight and healing emerge. Through my work, I help others find clarity, release exhaustion, and build trust in their own inner guidance so they can walk through life more aligned and whole.Check out my website for blog post and other offerings related to dreams at https://www.bluelotusqueendom.com/.Follow me on:Instagram: / bluelotusqueendom Facebook: / bluelotusqueendomThe information provided on this podcast is intended for informational purposes only.
