Skin + Yoni

A Poem: 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘳 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘙𝘰𝘰𝘵𝘴 ⁣
⁣
I know how much you despise your imperfections,⁣
your circumstances,⁣
The echoes of time and their lingering tensions.⁣
⁣
Desperately you try to ripe out your own weeds⁣,⁣
⁣You try so hard to bury your truth, ⁣
but it’s embedded in your family roots⁣,⁣
Your family tree 🌴 ⁣
⁣
You cannot separate the two.⁣
You never could, and you were never meant to.⁣
⁣
You can not hide in the shade,⁣
You must face it.⁣
⁣
Shift your mindset,⁣
Step into what scares you,⁣
Let the weeds grow wild, unashamed⁣
For even they have their purpose.⁣
⁣
When the time is right,⁣
when you feel it in your bones,⁣
you trim, you clear, you tend with care⁣
not to erase, but to nurture.⁣
⁣
Again and again,⁣
as the seasons shift,⁣
as the earth teaches you when to hold on⁣
and when to let go.⁣
⁣
You don’t get to choose your roots,⁣
Your roots choose you⁣.⁣
⁣
Learn to love your weeds,⁣
and honor your roots⁣.⁣
⁣
Embody your truth.⁣
⁣
I am rooting for you 🧡⁣

February Lessons, Pt. 2 💕⁣

Who I am—kind, gentle, deeply feeling, yet a little spicy and full of quiet strength—is not just enough, it’s more than enough. My softness is not a weakness, my sensitivity is a gift, and my fire is a force. I am a blend of warmth and depth, of tenderness and resilience, and every part of me is worthy, whole, and welcomed 🧡⁣
⁣
I no longer need to pretend to be hard or tough, to clench my jaw and brace for impact. I am no longer a survivor who holds her breath waiting to exhale, I am a divine wanderer, lead by curiosity, intuition, my true desires ✨⁣
⁣
I am letting go of everything I thought I knew before, I welcome new wisdom, new experiences, new possibilities.⁣ I am practicing new ways everyday, I am forever a student.
⁣
To the whispers that led me here, to Puerto Rico. To the call for reverence, for community, for love, for serenity. My soul knows the way home, and I honor her by listening. Even when fear arises, I show up. I show up afraid. And instead of resisting it, I honor it. I’m practicing to welcome all parts of myself, the parts I was taught to hide, to ignore, to shun. Now, I practice compassion, and patience🧡⁣
⁣
I remember that I am not my pain. I am not my suffering. They are only guides, pointing me toward something greater. I transmute. I alchemize ✨⁣
⁣
I honor my soul—where she’s been, where she is, and where she longs to go.⁣
⁣
Doubt, fear, and hardship will always come, but the more I listen to my spirit’s true desires, the wiser and stronger I become ✨⁣
⁣
Unlearning the lies I was taught to believe, remembering my truth.⁣

February Lessons Pt 1. 💕

I’m so grateful for the beautiful community that held me, poured into me, and spoke prosperity over the voice of my inner critic for 21 days and beyond

To every person—from the mentors to the lifelong friends I’ve gained—thank you 🙏🏼⁣ S**t got real, and I am so grateful to have done this work with you all .ruiz.lopez

To my ancestors, mi abuela, mamá Puerto Rico—thank you for allowing me to soften, to let go of the weight of my agonies, to lay down my confusion and frustration with the world, with my childhood, with past live hurts and experiences I never had the space or safety to be angry with. To accept fully and live in it authentically. To remember it, to reclaim it as my divine truth and give it light. To begin to accept it, instead of giving it power - with compassion.

The wisdom I’ve gained is more than 200 hours in trauma informed yoga, it is more than a certificate—this was a rebirth. Intentional. The space and support I needed to be reborn, yet again.

I must’ve cried every day. It was all hard. And yet, these are the moments I’ll never forget—the glimmers, the lessons, the proof that I didn’t have to grow through it alone.

I was held. I was seen. I was felt. And as I continue to transform, I promise to be that for others, in ways that may not always make sense, but will always be felt.

To walk the Fool’s journey fully, walk into the unknown, to live through it, breathe it, and then share what I have learned. To extend my hand, hoping yours will meet mines someday.

To a place of resilience, not through force but through grace and with love 🧡

“I feel so much 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘳” ✨🧡⁣

And in 5 simple words, I know that my client has received 𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 what she 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 to receive. ⁣

⁣

Too often we 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘦 out of fear, fear of rejection. We give to manipulate + control the way people view us. We want people to like us, to love us, to NEED us - like we think we need them.⁣
⁣
But the truth is, everything we need is already within us. ⁣
⁣
We can’t tell that our magic is already there because we’re so hyper-focused on making sure that everyone else is in compliance with our plan for us to “fit in.” Doing this only leaves us feeling more disconnected + 𝘋𝘙𝘈𝘐𝘕𝘌𝘋! Because we’re not being genuine! We’re playing a role we 𝘛𝘏𝘐𝘕𝘒 we’re assigned. ⁣
⁣
I know this because I was once that person! I didn’t want to step on any one’s toes, I didn’t want people to think I was “difficult.” I wanted to keep the 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦, which really meant I just wanted to stay out of the way and fake-feel comfortable. We’ll, s**t that never happened! ⁣I was always a nervous wreck.⁣
⁣
That all changed when I decided ⁣
✨ Not to play small⁣
✨ Not to hide my true identity/self ⁣
✨ To take up space ⁣
⁣
𝙄’𝙢 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 + 𝙄’𝙢 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙪𝙥 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚! I don’t owe anyone, anything in exchange for my existing. ⁣

✨that you deem unworthy⁣
⁣
✨ that still believes the lies they said about you⁣
⁣
✨ that ache in pain, mentally or physically⁣
⁣
✨ that make you feel insecure, emotionally or physically⁣
⁣
🧡 Take care of the parts of you that need the most love + care. ⁣
⁣

We don’t just clean in between guest, we CLEANSE ✨🧡⁣
⁣
🔸 Clean⁣
🔸 Disinfect / Sanitize ⁣
✨ 𝘾𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙚 ✨⁣
⁣
✨𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙨 🪟 ⁣
In between Reiki or Yoni Steam clients opening the windows is a MUST. This allows for whatever energy that was released during that session to be filtered and removed. ⁣
⁣
✨𝙎𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 / 𝙎𝙢𝙤𝙠𝙚 💨 ⁣
Burning herbs releases an aromatic experience, uplifting the space + one’s mood, smoking out what no longer belongs.⁣
⁣
✨𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝘼𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 ⁣
Words are powerful. I always set the intentions at the beginning of the day for healing and peace for all of my guest.⁣
⁣
I also speak affirmations before each Reiki + Yoni Steam session, so that my guest receive what they came here for. ⁣
⁣
After your session, I 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠𝙨, thank you for trusting me, for your vulnerability, for showing up today 🧡⁣
⁣

It’s been a minute! 👋🏼⁣
⁣
Here’s why! ⁣
⁣
🔸 Trip to London ✈️ ⁣
🔸 Covid / Recovery 🤒 ⁣
🔸 Hella’ Introspection 🧘🏽‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
Here’s what I’ve learned during this time away ⁣
⁣
🔸I was running my business as if it were corporate company, it’s not. I’m a small business owner executing every single role (and there are many!) Therefore, I deserve self-grace. ⁣
⁣
🔸 I’m moving at my own pace. I’m no longer trying to “catch up” or fulfill the expectations of others. ⁣
⁣
🔸 What matters most to me is the experience that I provide for my clients, that I’m actually making a difference and somehow leaving them fulfilled. ⁣
⁣
Why am I sharing this? ⁣
⁣
Because I am human first and a business second. I am learning to continuously welcome my true self and true values into all areas of my life, including at Skin and Yoni! ⁣
⁣
I hope you’re doing the same! 🧡✨⁣
