I am the granddaughter of Anna and Claire, the daughter of Kettly. I carry with me the resilience, tenderness, and wisdom of the women who came before me.
I was born an observer, curious and imaginative, always tinkering, experimenting, and losing myself in stories until I began to write my own.
Formally, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and am a certified Holistic Doula and Yoga Teacher. But my deepest education has come from life itself. I am a daughter, sister, aunt, friend, partner, and dog mom. These relationships and lived experiences have been my true master classes; teaching me how to listen, how to nurture, and how to hold space with love.
Dear Birdies,
It is my hope that this offering finds you well and mid-flight
The weavings of life pull together the many threads of our tapestry, and sometimes it’s hard to see the full picture. At times, it can even feel like everything is unraveling around us. I used to think the answer to everything was to fly far away. But life, in its wild wisdom, sometimes clips our wings not to punish us, but to bring us back into presence.
For a long time, I lived with a restless heart. I was always trying to fix; fix myself, fix others. I was constantly searching for solutions, threading quicksand, hypervigilant and overextended. My nervous system was fried. I lived life like a chess game, always trying to stay one step ahead, fearful of making the wrong move. I chased freedom, but deep down, I was afraid to claim it.
This journey has been one of slowing down. Slow enough to hear my inner voice. Still enough to feel my body’s truth. Brave enough to honour it.
Lakay, meaning “home” in Haitian Creole, is the spiritual return I didn’t know I needed. It is a homecoming back to the body, back to the ancestors, back to the rhythms that were always mine.
Lakay: The Feminine Homecoming, is a love letter to the everyday woman, tired of chasing and ready to receive. It is a space for you to reconnect with your softness, your wisdom, and your sacred right to be held.
With time, I’ve learned to lean into the natural rhythms of my body, to trust the soft murmurs and at times crashing waves of intuition. I’ve remembered that I’m not alone, that many have walked before me, and many walk beside me now. The light of my lineage is within me.
And now, I invite you to begin this journey home to yourself.
With all my love,
Murielle
