What is The Blooming Lotus Atelier?

The Blooming Lotus was created for the moments when life feels full, your energy feels stretched, something is shifting, or you can sense that you’re ready for something different.

It’s a space to soften. To settle. To step out of the noise long enough to hear what you need.

Sometimes that looks like Reiki or The Attunement. Sometimes it’s restorative yoga, Sacred Space Alchemy, a beauty ritual, or time spent tending to yourself with more intention.

The Blooming Lotus is not about fixing who you are or returning to an old version of yourself.

It’s about creating space for who you’re becoming.

Space to rest.
Space to release.
Space to feel more grounded.
Space to reconnect with what matters.
Space to move into your next season with greater clarity and intention.

Beauty. Energy. Ritual.

All woven together in a way that supports the whole experience of how you want to live, feel, and grow.

The Blooming Lotus Atelier is located in Sioux Falls, and private sessions are available both in person and by distance depending on the offering.

If something in you has been asking for more space, this may be your invitation.

Sacred Space Alchemy ✨

Sacred Space Alchemy is an intentional clearing and energetic reset of a home or space, created to help release what feels heavy, stagnant or complete, and support the intention you want the space to hold moving forward.

Each session is shaped around the space itself and may include smoke cleansing, sound, herbs, salt, crystals, Reiki, frequency music and intentional ritual.

The process is not only about clearing. It can also be about inviting in peace, clarity, healing, love, protection, abundance or whatever the space is needing.

A Sacred Space Alchemy Refresh is a gentler follow-up for spaces that have already been cleared, helping to reset the energy, reinforce intentions and support the energy already being cultivated there.

This weekend included both a full Sacred Space Alchemy session and a Sacred Space Alchemy Refresh.

Different homes. Different intentions. 🤍

Beauty • Energy • Ritual

The razor incident of 2026 is officially behind me. 😂

Honestly, it feels good to start fresh.

Yesterday I went to Minneapolis for new hair, a little time at Lake Harriet, and some reading by the water. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday. ❤️

A little full-circle moment. ✨

In January 2016, I flew to LA for lash lift training, not only to learn the service, but to become a trainer.

At the time, lash lifting was completely unknown here in Sioux Falls. No one was offering it yet. I brought the service home with me and spent years performing lash lifts through Laura McElroy Beauty, while also training other beauty professionals in the technique.

And now, ten years later, I’m still lifting lashes, bringing that experience with me into a new chapter at The Blooming Lotus Atelier. 🤍

Natural lashes. Beautiful lift. Effortless results.

Lash Lift, Lash Lift + Tint, and Lash Tint appointments are now available at The Blooming Lotus Atelier.

Have you been curious about energy healing, but weren’t quite sure where to begin?

To make it easier to experience these offerings, I’m now offering introductory experiences for first-time clients of each service.

Each experience is thoughtfully personalized to meet you where you are, whether you’re seeking rest, clarity, healing, or simply space to reconnect with yourself.

I’d be honored to welcome you into The Blooming Lotus.

Last night, I made a tiny little mistake…

At 8:00 p.m. I sat down with Beyond What Is Given by Rebecca Yarros, thinking, “I’ll read for a couple of hours and head to bed.”

Two hours somehow became six.

I finally admitted defeat, canceled my Cycle class because I knew I wasn’t going to make it, washed my face, got ready for bed… looked at my book… and thought,

“One more chapter.”

Friends… there was no “one more chapter.”

There was only the rest of the book.

4:15 a.m. rolled around before I finally closed it.

Damn you, Rebecca Yarros. Why are your books so ridiculously good? 😂

Just kidding.

This wasn’t the first time I’ve accidentally stayed up all night reading, and it definitely won’t be the last.

Now it’s Saturday morning, time for coffee, and then off to the Blooming Lotus Atelier to spend the day with some wonderful clients. ☕📚✨

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s completely lost track of time because of a really good book. What book did that to you?

Don’t worry, I’m not leaving Revolution Yoga & Cycle. 💚

Revolution Yoga & Cycle is still my yoga home, and I’ll continue teaching Restorative Yoga every Wednesday at 7 p.m.

As The Blooming Lotus grows, I may eventually offer private restorative yoga sessions at the Atelier as well, but my Wednesday nights at Revolution aren’t going anywhere.

I’m so grateful for the beautiful community that continues to show up, rest, breathe, and practice with me each week.

When you realize you’re short, you don’t have a spotter, and you’re too lazy to go downstairs for the ladder… you do what you have to do. 😂

The spacing may not be perfect, but my relevant certificates are officially hanging in the Atelier, and that feels pretty damn good!

The Blooming Lotus Atelier is officially open, and my books are now open for appointments. ✨

Thank you so much to the clients who have already visited me in my new space at 8th & Railroad. It has been so special to begin welcoming you into the Atelier and watching the space continue to come together.

Appointments are available now through my online booking page. I can’t wait to welcome you in. 🤍
