You know what matters most to me? Making sure the people around me feel safe.

Safe to ramble. Safe to mispronounce a word. Safe to overshare or say nothing at all.

You don’t have to understand it all. You don’t have to fix it. Just be kind. 🫶🏻

Because everyone deserves to feel safe enough to be themselves.

That is what somatic work really is. Learning to give yourself that same safety. Learning to listen when your body is asking for care. Learning to create a connection inside that feels steady and kind. 💜

It is the practice of attuning to yourself with presence, compassion, and care.

sometimes the body just needs permission to rest
to be held and supported so the nervous system can soften
this isn’t about doing more
it’s about noticing what it feels like to land back in your body

somatic practices are for anyone carrying stress, overwhelm, or emotions that feel too heavy to hold alone
for women moving through big transitions
for mothers holding so much
for those healing from loss or trauma
or the ones who simply feel disconnected and want to feel at home again

when we give ourselves space like this
the breath shifts
muscles loosen
and the body remembers it is safe to let go 🦋

this is the heart of somatic practice
simple, accessible, powerful
a practice that brings you back to safety, back to yourself 🫶🏻

“I wasn’t sure what to expect, but for the first time I felt deeply seen. Compassion toward my body. A safe place to heal. Stories honored.”

If you have tried therapy, meditation, or other practices but still feel disconnected or overwhelmed, somatic sessions may offer a new way forward.

Healing is not about pushing harder. It begins when the body feels safe enough to soften, regulate, and gently let go of what it has been carrying.

Most of my clients work with me online. It is flexible, supportive, and just as powerful as being in the same room. You can arrive as you are, in a space that feels safe and comfortable.

✨ Start with a free 15 minute consult and explore if this feels supportive for you.

❍ Control can feel like the only way to find calm — and that makes sense when your body has learned safety through holding on tight

Maybe you’ve felt stuck in reactivity outbursts or coping habits that leave you drained
maybe you’ve thought the only way forward was to “heal all the trauma”

but the real work isn’t erasing the past
it’s learning how to stay with yourself in the middle of the mess

peace doesn’t mean giving up control
it means your body can feel safe even when things around you feel disruptive
it’s building a stronger heart and a wider window of tolerance so you can move through stress and triggers without losing yourself every time

this is what somatic work offers
not a quick fix or a perfect life
but more choice in how you show up and more space inside to breathe through it 🤍🦋🤍

The mirror shows more than appearance. It shows relationship, the one you have with yourself.

For many, that relationship has been shaped by old stories. Not enough. Too much. Too broken. Too different. The mirror becomes a place of judgment instead of connection.

Shadow work is about meeting the parts that have been hidden. The doubt, the grief, the places you learned to turn away from. When you can stay present with them, not fixing or pushing them down, something shifts. You begin to see yourself more fully. 🥹

Somatic work supports this by giving the body a way to stay grounded while you face what arises. A hand on your chest. A breath that reaches your belly. Feeling your feet on the ground while you meet your own eyes. These small anchors remind you that you can be here, now, with yourself.
✨ If you feel safe and steady, try this mirror practice:
•Sit comfortably with your feet on the ground. Take one slow breath.

•Meet your own eyes softly in the mirror. Notice what comes up without changing it.

•Place a hand on your body. Heart, belly, anywhere that feels right. Feel the warmth and the weight of your touch
•Offer yourself a simple truth, even if it feels awkward. Words like “I am here” or “I see you” are enough.
•When you are ready, step back. Notice how your body feels and thank yourself for showing up.

This is the invitation. Not to love every reflection, but to meet it honestly. To stay present long enough to notice what is really there.

As women, our bodies hold so much. From daily stress and responsibilities to the quiet weight of experiences we rarely share, it all settles somewhere. Over time this can feel like tension, fatigue, restlessness, or simply being out of touch with ourselves.

Somatic practices offer a way back. Through movement, breath, and awareness, you can meet your body with compassion and begin to shift what it has been carrying. This is not surface level self care. It is real and effective healing that works with your nervous system, not against it.

✨ That is why I now offer Online Somatic Sessions for women — flexible, accessible, and deeply supportive.

In these one on one sessions we explore:
• Grounding to restore stability and presence
• Breathwork to ease the mind and body
• Gentle somatic movement to release stress and create balance
• Awareness practices that build trust in your body’s wisdom

Your first session includes a gentle intake so I can learn about your goals and experiences. From there, every session is personalized, trauma informed, and paced for safety.

✨ Women often notice over time:
• Feeling calmer and more grounded in daily life
• Releasing tension stored in the body
• Deeper, more restful sleep
• Greater connection with self and others
• Practical tools they can return to anytime

And the best part? You can show up exactly as you are. Cozy clothes, tea in hand, your pet curled up nearby. Healing does not have to be overwhelming. It can be gentle, practical, and rooted in everyday life.

💛

Real and effective healing that helps you reconnect with your body right from the safety of home.

Practicing mindfulness and somatic techniques is like gifting your brain and nervous system a much-needed pause. 🌿

Imagine a moment where you can truly let go, where your mind shifts from a whirlwind of thoughts and stress to a place of calm and ease. This is what happens when you engage in these gentle practices—they allow your brain to transition from the fight-or-flight mode into a state of relaxation, bringing a profound sense of peace and centeredness. 🌟

By regularly practicing mindfulness, you’re not just calming your mind; you’re also training it to be more adaptable and resilient. This flexibility means you’re better equipped to handle emotions, stay grounded in the face of stress, and respond to life’s challenges with clarity and calm.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Lower Stress Hormones: Mindfulness reduces the production of cortisol, the stress hormone, helping your body and mind feel more at ease.
• Activate Your Body’s Relaxation Response: Somatic practices work on a deep, physical level, calming your nervous system and activating your body’s natural relaxation pathways.
• Improve Sleep and Overall Calm: By regularly engaging in these practices, you can experience deeper, more restorative sleep and a general sense of calm that carries through your day.

Balancing the emotional centers in your brain with mindfulness and somatic techniques also means gaining better clarity and resilience in handling everyday challenges. Over time, you’ll likely notice an increase in focus, heightened body awareness, and a deeper connection to yourself—all contributing to a greater sense of peace and well-being.

Take the first step towards a more mindful, balanced life. Discover the lasting benefits of gentle mindfulness and somatic practices, and see how they can transform your experience of the world. 💫
