If thinking alone could heal you, you’d be whole by now.

Most of us have been taught to approach healing from the top down: change your thoughts, manage your behaviors, reframe the story, stay positive, power through. And to be clear, approaches like CBT and DBT can be incredibly helpful. They give structure. Language. Tools. Perspective.

But there’s a piece that often gets left out…

Your nervous system doesn’t speak in sentences.
It speaks in signals.

Tight jaw. Shallow breath. Racing heart. Heavy chest. Gut knots. Restlessness. Numbness. That sudden urge to bolt, shut down, or reach for relief.

Those cues usually show up before your mind can explain what’s happening. Which means that for many people, insight isn’t the problem, and willpower isn’t the answer. The missing piece is learning to work bottom up: through the body, through sensation, through patterns that live beneath conscious thought.

I just published a new blog that breaks this down in a simple (and slightly spicy) way, including why somatic therapy isn’t “new” at all… and how much opportunity you’re missing if you’ve only been trying to think your way to freedom.

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel stuck, you’re not broken.

You’re just working with half the equation.

The word is everywhere - but what does it mean?

SOMATICS (Therapeutic Yoga on Zoom)
If you’ve been trying to think your way out of stress, tension, anxiety, pain, or burnout… come meet the missing piece.

This is a weekly therapeutic yoga class built around a variety of somatic practices that help you feel what’s happening inside your body (before it becomes a spiral).

We’ll work gently and intelligently with strength, stability, flexibility, breath coaching, and nervous system support, so you can stop living on autopilot and start responding with choice.

✨ No pressure. No performance. No “good vibes only.”
Just real tools for real humans in real bodies.

🗓 Sundays starting Feb 8
⏰ 10:00–11:15am ET

Sleep Struggles & Nighttime Anxiety
Can’t fall asleep?
Can’t stay asleep?
Wake up in a panic or with a racing mind at 3am?

This is more common with CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) than you think.

When your nervous system is wired for survival, night can feel like the most unsafe time of all.

Silence, stillness, and darkness can feel like vulnerability.
And vulnerability can mean danger.

🌿 Together, we retrain your nervous system through breath, interoception, body memory, and special listening technology.

Sleep isn’t something you fail at—it’s something your system can relearn.

Chronic Pain & Mysterious Symptoms: If you’ve been chasing a diagnosis for years…If doctors don’t know why you’re in pain, fatigued, or inflamed…
If every test comes back “normal” but your body says otherwise…

You’re not imagining things.
Your body might be holding a story that hasn’t been told yet.

CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) often shows up in the body:
— Tension that won’t release
— Gut issues
— Autoimmune flares
— Migraines or pelvic pain

🌿 I work with somatic tools, breath, and neuroplasticity-based therapies to help your body complete what got stuck.

Symptoms become signals. And that’s where healing begins.

Emotional Flashbacks: Ever had a moment where your reaction felt way too big for the situation? Like you were right back in a younger, more vulnerable version of yourself?

That’s not drama.
That’s an emotional flashback—a classic sign of CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder).

It happens when your nervous system responds to a present trigger with past survival strategies.

🌿 Together, we map these reactions, track the body’s signals, and create new pathways to regulation.

You don’t have to relive it to release it.

People-Pleasing & Boundary Struggles: If you’re always putting others first—exhausted, resentful, but unable to say no—you’re not “too nice.”
You’re likely wired for "fawn" response.

CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) can show up as chronic people-pleasing.

Especially if:
— Love had to be earned
— Anger or disappointment felt dangerous
— Your needs were dismissed or seen as selfish

This isn’t weakness.
It’s how your nervous system kept you safe.

🌿 In our work, we rebuild your ability to feel safe in your “no,” trust your “yes,” and reconnect to your real self—not just the one who performs for safety.

Chronic Shame: Do you carry a quiet but constant feeling that something is wrong with you? Like you’re too much—or not enough?

That’s not your personality.
That’s a symptom of CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder).

If you grew up with:
— Emotional neglect
— Subtle rejection
— A family that didn’t know how to reflect your worth back to you

…your nervous system may have internalized the message:
“I’m the problem.”

🌿 Together, we uncover where this shame came from—gently, at your pace.
And we practice what your nervous system never got: warm, attuned reflection and repair.

Numbness & Disconnection: Some people with CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) don’t feel too much.

That numbness you carry?
The way your emotions go flat when things get intense?
That’s a survival skill.

Maybe no one noticed when you were hurting.
Maybe you had to hold it together for everyone else.
Maybe it just wasn’t safe to feel.

Numbness is how your nervous system learned to keep you functioning.
But it also keeps you lonely.

🌿 We work slowly to reconnect you to sensation, emotion, and aliveness—on your terms.

There’s no rush. You’re not “too broken.” You’re wise.

Real Talk: Symptoms are not mistakes. They’re signals.

They’re the body’s way of saying:

“There’s a truth you’ve left behind. Come home.”

We live in a culture that urges us to fix, manage, and control symptoms. Especially in the wellness world.

We "yoga" the hell out of our anxiety, yet it persists.
We use apps to "meditate".
We biohack, affirm, and optimize.

But so often, these efforts come from the very part of us that’s trying not to feel what’s really underneath.

True healing requires a different path. One that is unique to you.

Always On Edge? CPTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) isn’t caused by one big traumatic event. It’s the result of growing up in an environment where you couldn’t relax—because safety, affection, or stability were, at the very least, unpredictable.

You might not remember anything “bad,” but your body does.
If you feel constantly braced, hyper-alert, or jumpy for no reason…
That’s your nervous system doing what it learned to do: stay ready.

Especially if:
— You had a parent with unpredictable moods
— You were the peacekeeper in a chaotic home
— You learned early not to “cause problems”

✨ This isn’t your fault.
✨ It’s not who you are—it’s how you survived.

🌿 In sessions, we gently observe, allow, and then retrain your nervous system to recognize what safety feels like.

Not as a concept—but as sensation.

Fun fact:
Burping during breathwork or bodywork is totally normal.

It means you are relaxing.

In somatic therapy, we celebrate the release!
Sometimes we even do a little fart dance.

So if you burp, yawn, gurgle, or even hiccup mid-session…
That’s your nervous system saying:
“Ahhhh… I can let go now.”

Totally normal. Weirdly beautiful. Sometimes hilarious. Always welcome.
