Support Annika's recovery from Palisades Fire

Help Annika as she confronts the challenge of rebuilding her life after the trauma of the Palisades Fire which destroyed her treasured home and healing sanctuary of 20 years. When my own home was burned down in the Woolsey Fire, it was my dear friend Annika who guided me on the journey of recovery. Annika not only lost her home but also her LA therapy office where she say clients as well as her lamp workshop where she made her beloved Dancing Hula Girl Lamps for over 20 years. It’s all gone and she will need to find a new place to start over.

As a Somatic Therapist, Annika has always worked to help others on their healing journeys and has contributed to her community—always a source of kindness, creativity, and support. Now, it’s our turn to show her the same.

To add to the weight of these losses, Annika, who had no insurance. It's an overwhelming situation for her, and yet I know how resilient she is. What she needs most right now is a foundation of love, compassion, and practical support to rebuild her life, her studio, and her workshop—and to reclaim her health and her strength.

This is why I’m asking for your help. Your donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward helping her secure and set up a new home and spaces for her work. Beyond the financial support, I’m asking for something even more powerful: for you to help create a wave of love and encouragement that will remind her she’s not alone in this fight.

And if you’re able, sharing this message with others who might be moved to help would mean the world. Together, we can offer Annika the strength and compassion she needs to face the challenging months ahead and rebuild the life she deserves.

Every donation, regardless of amount, is a life-saver because it is an embrace of love, hope, and support. Thank you for your generosity, love and care.
