My name is Lanae (I also go by Lynden). I grew up in the Sandhills and a fondness for that wide-skied expanse remains firmly embedded in my heart. I’m blessed to be parent to four lively, loving, and well-loved children, one now in college, and three in high school. I’ve now been working as a therapist since January 2019 and have been in my solo private practice since August 2023! As well, I am a RYT-200 certified yoga teacher, with yoga nidra certifications as well. I am looking at plans to resume teaching yoga nidra, as I love to share this beautiful practice with others!

Psychology has been an abiding interest of mine since I was a teen, but writing has been an anchoring passion even longer, one which feels as though it has deepened into a calling. I enjoy movement of many types – swimming, biking, yoga, calisthenics, weightlifting, and hiking, I’m a thinker and a dreamer, an avid learner and reader, a lover of books (as easily noted by the piles of books here and there and everywhere in my living space!). I am comfortable with stillness and solitude but also value deep, thoughtful, spiritual conversation and connection. My heart-purpose for this blog is that it could be a place of invitation to such conversation and connection, a rich space of belovedness!
