🌸 Tune into your body’s signals 🌸 Practice nervous system regulation🌸 Develop a sense of safety and stability in tough situations🌸 Learn to manage fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and appease responses🌸 Gain practical tools to set boundaries and navigate conflict confidently—whether at work, in relationships, or within your community.

Cortenay’s approach is compassionate, deeply informed, and rooted in creating healing spaces for historically underserved communities. Her work is grounded in the belief that healing is both personal and collective.
