Sometimes in therapy, the moment that changes everything isn’t when you figure it out.

It’s when your body finally believes you’re safe.

✨When your shoulders drop for the first time in years.
✨When the tears come, without needing to explain them.
✨When your system stops scanning the room for danger.

Somatic healing isn’t something we add in after we talk.
It’s part of how we listen in the first place.

Your body holds the story, the armor, and the truth.
And in session, we get curious about all three.

I use tools rooted in polyvagal theory, movement therapy, and energy work, woven gently into the conversation.

If you’ve ever felt like “just talking” isn’t working, you’re not broken. Your body might just be speaking a different language.

Ready to listen differently?

I created the HEAL retreat because I kept hearing similar things in different ways:

📝“I’m trying to get back on track.”
⏳“I just need a reset.”
💤“I’m so tired.”
📉“I don’t know why I can’t function like I used to.”

These are patterns I recognize not only in my therapy and energy healing work, but in my friends, network, and in past versions of myself.

As someone who also identities as a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser, I notice how these deeply engrained patterns need consistent attention and intention to unwind from and to heal.

So much of what we name as personality is actually patterning. Conditioned through family systems, shaped by culture, reinforced by systems like capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchy that reward over-functioning and call it strength.

✨HEAL: A Somatic Wellness Retreat is a space to step out of that.✨

To slow down. To rest.
To understand how burnout and people pleasing live in the nervous system, not just in the mind.

We’ll explore these patterns through somatic healing, group reflection, energy work, and spacious downtime.

It’s an invitation to unlearn, to reconnect, and to practice rest on a deeper level.

If that speaks to you, I’d love to connect.
