🌱 From Overwhelm to Everyday Peace – My 5-Year Path to Supporting Your Inner Calm 🖤

I started this training journey because I knew what it felt like to live one “last straw” away from shutting down. Over the past five years I’ve poured my energy into three body-brain-based tools that now guide every session I lead:

• IFS Level 2 Parts Work – helping every protector and wounded part make room for the calm, clear Self.
• Somatic Experiencing – Advanced Year Graduate – finishing my final practicum this season so I can track and settle your nervous-system story in real time.
• NeuroAffective Touch + Attachment-based Trauma Training – adding gentle hands, eyes, and relational cues to repair the earliest felt-safety memories.

I’m also honored to serve as faculty with Dr. Aimie Apigian’s Biology of Trauma™ Program—translating cutting-edge stress physiology into kitchen-table practices moms, teens, and educators can use today.

The result? Clients who once described life as “one iced-coffee crash away from meltdown” now tell me they move through meetings, toddler tantrums, or sleepless nights with steady hearts and grounded minds.

📍Next chance to experience it yourself: Find Your Inner Calm

August 19th at 6pm
• One-hour live mini-retreat packed with zero-jargon tools you’ll use that night
• $20 or pay-what-you-can at the door

Secure your seat and swap that constant buzz of stress for real, practical inner calm. Link to register in the comments.

🍎 7 Days Until Finding Your Inner Calm 📚
School bells, packed lunches, and new routines: the “first-day jitters” don’t just belong to kids. They hit parents, teachers, and anyone who suddenly feels like they’re juggling flaming backpacks.

1️⃣ Plant both feet and feel your shoes on the ground—like you’re the strongest tree on the playground.
2️⃣ Inhale for a slow 4 counts (imagine the scent of fresh crayons).
3️⃣ Exhale on a low “voooo” (as if fogging a cold bus window). Two rounds is all you need for your nervous system to whisper, “We’ve got this.”

⏰ T-minus 8 days until Find Your Inner Calm kicks off.

Take a seven–day “landing-practice.” Today’s version is a 60-second Quiet Cooktop Reset”:

1️⃣ Feet on floor: notice the cool tile or warm wood beneath your socks.
2️⃣ Hand on heart & low voo: inhale softly through the nose; exhale a gentle “voooo” from your chest twice.
3️⃣ Notice the change: shoulders drop, jaw unclenches, breath deepens.

The signal to your body is simple: “Support is present; I can relax right here, right now.”

GHW - Growth & Healing: Join Our August Events 🌱✨

⚡ Storms of life hit fast—angry emails, slammed doors, 3 a.m. worry loops—and suddenly you’re the tree bending so far you forget what “standing upright” even feels like.

Here’s a 60-second eye-of-the-storm anchor you can do anywhere—even in the grocery line:

👉 “Storm-Safe Breaths” 👈
1️⃣ Plant both feet; feel the solid floor (the earth is still underneath you).
2️⃣ Inhale slowly, count to 4—imagine gathering the storm clouds into one clear balloon of air.
3️⃣ Exhale on a low “vooo” sound, letting the balloon drift away. Do it 3×.
Your pulse slows, the wind quietens, and your body remembers: The storm isn’t me—I am the sky holding it.

🔍 If you’d like an hour-long Storm Toolkit that turns every future gust into proof you can stand steady, join me for:

Find Calm in the Storm
A 60-minute live workshop to reset the nervous system when the next squall hits.
- Early Bird: $20 (reg. $40).
- Pay-what-you-can at the door ($5 minimum).

You’ll leave with:

✨ Feeling wound-up even in “quiet” moments?
Here’s a 60-second reset you can try right now—before the coffee finishes brewing:

👉 Hand on Heart + Soft Voo 👈
1️⃣ Place a gentle palm over your sternum.
2️⃣ Breathe in quietly through the nose.
3️⃣ On the out-breath let a low, humming “voooo” sound ripple from your chest (like fogging a window). Do it 3 times.

That vibration + the warm hand cue your nervous system that “support is here right now,” cutting the adrenaline spike that keeps you hovering like a bird afraid to land.

🔍 Want the bigger picture?
I’m running a 60-minute mini-retreat Find Your Inner Calm: Stress Relief & Self-Trust designed so you’re not stuck in “hover mode” any longer.

- Early Bird: $20 (reg. $40) until spots run out.
- Pay What You Can (min. $5 cash at the door) if money’s tight.

You’ll walk away with:
• the simple “bird on the branch” mindset shift that instantly lowers tension
• a live nervous-system reset you’ll feel in real time
• a cheat-sheet for calming yourself after the meeting, toddler tantrum, or late-night spiral

No fancy terms, no prior experience—just practical tools and a lot of compassion.

My hands-on education hasn’t happened only in classrooms; it’s happened in muscles, heartbeats, and breath that catches in the throat.

What “Somatic Training” actually is

Somatic Experiencing—beginner through advanced—taught me how impulses live in the body long after the moment has passed. I learned to help nervous systems finish what they couldn’t finish: the step that never got taken, the sound that never got made, the protective gesture that froze mid-air. We do this by slowing the story down to millisecond speed and releasing the tension one small, safe piece at a time, rather than reliving the whole storm at once.

Add to that:
- Extra study with Dr. Peter Levine on dreams and the felt sense, so nightmares and repetitive imagery can be metabolized through the body—not analyzed away.
- NeuroAffective Touch training, which weaves gentle touch into the process for babies, children, or adults whose very first injuries happened before they had words.

These are the attachment wounds that whisper, “I have to earn being held.” We answer with nervous-system level reassurance instead.

How it shows up in regular sessions or classes
Whether we’re unpacking panic attacks or the aftershocks of foster care or chronic emotional overwhelm, SE and NAT aren’t side dishes—they’re the plate. Together they let us:
- Track the flutter in your diaphragm to find the moment your body locked in “freeze,”
- Use hand on the back to teach your system what safe contact feels like, or
- Let a dream replay at 5% speed so the body can complete the motion it never got to finish.

No modality is more important than your own innate capacity to heal; these trainings simply keep that capacity on speed dial.

We had some storms over the last week.

Some of my sunflowers are bowed to the ground, some lean like they’re thinking of lying down, and one stands straight, face open, roots deep.
This is what I remind every client (and myself):

The storm doesn’t ask permission; it simply arrives.

The calm isn’t in stopping the wind—it’s in knowing the stem can bend, the roots can hold, and tomorrow’s bloom still belongs to you.

Wherever you are today—face down, tilted, or steady—come rest in the garden. You’re still growing.
