The world is in pain.
Our bodies are carrying it-tight, heavy, grieving.
This kind of suffering can feel like labor:
deep, relentless, and meaningful.
In somatic work, we understand pain not only as distress,
but as a signal of transition.
I hold hope that what we are witnessing-individually and collectively-
is not the end,
but the ache of something
trying to be born. “There is a crack in everything; that’s how the light gets in.” -Leonard Cohn 📍 Beverly Hills 📍 Fresno 📍 Telehealth. English & עברית.

Martial arts — and Brazilian jiu jitsu in particular — can function as a somatic, trauma-adjacent intervention when thoughtfully integrated alongside psychotherapy.

Sexual trauma often disrupts boundaries, body ownership, proximity tolerance, and defensive responses at the nervous-system level. Brazilian jiu jitsu offers structured, consent-based exposure to pressure and close contact, emphasizing pacing, choice, and the ability to stop at any moment.

Through my own sustained training in Gracie Combatives and the Women’s Empowerment program at Gracie Academy, the embodied effects of this approach have become directly observable. Repeated, regulated encounters with pressure within a clear framework of consent support increased boundary clarity, restoration of agency, and an improved capacity to remain present under stress. Practicing effective responses and exits under constraint illustrates how empowerment can shift from cognitive understanding into lived, nervous-system learning.

This is not a replacement for psychotherapy, nor is it appropriate for everyone.
For some, however, it may function as a meaningful adjunct-offering an embodied context in which choice, responsiveness, and safety can be experienced directly.

To learn more about this topic, I recommend “Transforming Trauma with Jiu Jitsu” by Jamie Marich & Anna Pirkl.

With gratitude to Gracie Academy in Fresno & Clovis and to the instructors and training partners there, for supporting the development of these embodied insights.

Somatic trauma work is often misunderstood as a set of techniques or exercises.
In reality, it’s a carefully paced process that helps the nervous system restore safety, flexibility, and capacity.

Healing doesn’t happen by forcing calm or revisiting trauma too quickly.
It happens by building stability, moving gently between states, working in small doses, listening to sensation, allowing stuck survival responses to complete-and then letting the body settle.

This is how regulation returns.
This is how aliveness becomes sustainable.

Love opens,
slowly, tenderly,
like warm water against skin.

Passion moves through in waves-
hips, breath, pulse-
asking to be felt, not explained.

Grief lingers low in the body,
heavy and holy,
teaching us how to stay present
when everything in us wants to turn away.

Growth doesn’t push.
It flows.

Like a river, the body knows
when to soften,
when to deepen,
when to surrender to its own current.

This is somatic knowing —
listening instead of forcing,
letting sensation lead,
allowing what has loved us
and what has broken us
to move us forward, together.

“My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord.”

From a somatic lens, this is profound.
Vision is not just metaphor—it is a nervous-system function.
To see is to orient toward safety, meaning, and continuity, even in the face of threat.

King named a future his body could already feel.
This is how collective resilience forms—
through regulated presence, grounded conviction, and the capacity to hold fear without letting it lead.

May we continue this work—slowly, embodied, and awake.

Between Fresno’s wide skies and Los Angeles’ restless light,
I live a life in motion.

Two homes.
Two clinics.
Two very different rhythms that somehow both hold me.

Some days I’m packing snacks, therapy notes,
and half-finished thoughts into a single bag—
driving long stretches of highway while my own nervous system settles and recalibrates with the road.

This is not just where I work.
It’s how I live.
In the in-between—
between stillness and speed,
between holding others and remembering to hold myself.

I nourish my soul in the quiet places:
with loved ones around a table,
with small hands in mine,
with trees, mountains, and open air
that remind my body how to soften again.

As a somatic trauma therapist, I listen for safety—
in breath, in muscle, in the subtle language of the body.
And as a woman living between two cities,
I’m learning how to let my own body belong
in more than one place at once.

These photos are fragments of that life:
my clinics, my moments, my pauses—
a healing practice that is lived, not just taught.

Two cities.
One nervous system.
Many gentle returns to home.

As anniversaries of collective events such as wildfires approach, many individuals experience increased physiological and emotional activation.

This may include somatic tension, restlessness, fatigue, irritability, or heightened vigilance.

These responses are not overreactions, nor are they purely cognitive.
They reflect the nervous system’s implicit memory of a period when safety was compromised.

Collective shock trauma is encoded in the body. Anniversary cues—seasonal, sensory, or environmental—can reactivate incomplete survival responses. Through grounding, co-regulation, and supportive connection, these responses can be integrated rather than re-experienced.

If this time of year feels more demanding, you are not alone.
Individual and collective support can facilitate regulation and restore a sense of safety.

Somatic therapy supports the nervous system in reorganizing toward stability and safety.

Sometimes the most confusing relationships
are the ones where the other person truly believes they’re doing good.

From a nervous system lens,
“kindness” can become a way to feel safe—
to secure closeness, appreciation, or control.

When that safety is disrupted,
the body may move into threat responses:
hurt, guilt, withdrawal, resentment.

This doesn’t always come from conscious manipulation.
Often, it’s a pattern learned early
where connection required being “good enough.”

And here’s the trauma-informed truth:
👉 Your body tracks impact, not intent.

If you feel tense, small, exhausted, or constantly explaining yourself,
that’s information worth listening to.

Healing doesn’t start with blaming.
It starts with noticing, orienting inward,
and letting your nervous system guide your boundaries.

You’re allowed to trust what your body knows.
