When people ask: “But… what is it you actually do?”
I don’t just “help with pain.”
I work in the space where your body, mind, and story meet. The place most treatments skip over.
It’s called the biopsychosocial model, and it means this:
Bio: your body’s physical state: nervous system, posture, breath, muscles, pain pathways.
Psycho: your mind’s wiring: beliefs, emotions, thought loops, trauma imprints.
Social: your environment: relationships, roles, stressors, cultural conditioning.
Pain, tension, and symptoms aren’t random, they’re messages from the intersection of all three.
Most approaches stop at the “bio” layer.
I don’t.
I go deeper. Into the subconscious patterns, the protective layers of your psyche, and the emotional armor you didn’t even realize you were carrying.
We unravel the root cause of your symptoms, so your body isn’t stuck screaming for your attention.
This isn’t just symptom relief.
It’s nervous system liberation.
It’s learning to live in a body that feels safe again.

Ebook launch September 1st!
I can't wait to share this with you all. 🤩

If you’ve tried everything for your chronic pain/symptoms: meds, massages, stretching, diets and nothing has worked… there’s a reason.

Your pain isn’t the enemy. It’s a danger signal.
A misfire in your nervous system.
And when you learn how to reset it, you can break free.

This isn’t another “quick fix” or “positive vibes only” guide.
I’m taking you deep into:

The brain/pain connection & how your thoughts keep pain switched on
Body-based rewiring techniques to calm your nervous system
Shadow work for pain so you can unhook old emotional loops
Real, lasting tools to get you back to living fully, without fear of flare-ups.

In my work, we don’t just talk about healing, we build it.
Together, we create a safety container for the most vulnerable parts of you, so your nervous system can finally exhale. But I don’t leave you there. I hand you your sword of truth and armor you in authenticity, so you can walk back into the world protected, unshakable, and wholly yourself. ⚔️

Hot take: We’re living in the overshare era. And we've all been guilty of it (myself included)
Vulnerability is trending. And that is great in so many ways.
BUT…I'm going to say the hard thing and call out that fact that trauma isn’t social currency.
It’s not aspirational.
It leaves real scars.
But in today’s attention mercantile, some fear they won’t belong without it. This could be a whole additional conversation surrounding the polarized views of oppression, but I will digress..

So we stay in the pain.
We perform it.
We build identity around it.
And get stuck in cycles of commiseration.

But here’s the truth:
Your pain IS valid.
But it’s not your personality.

Suffering should never be the metric for self-worth.
Or the ticket to being heard.
Or the foundation of community.

Because when victimhood becomes identity, healing gets pushed out of reach.
Healing happens when we let go of old identities and quit finding resonance
within them.

There comes a point where you claim personal autonomy and begin taking accountability for your trajectory instead of blaming everyone else.

Why Talk Therapy Fails:
You can’t talk your body out of trauma.
The mind understands the story, but the body still holds the pain.
Somatic Therapy goes deeper. It rewires your nervous system, releases stored trauma, and frees you from cycles that talking alone can’t touch.

If you’ve felt stuck after years of therapy, this is the missing piece.

To my fellow deep feelers and thinkers:
I have enjoyed writing since I was a child and as I've gotten older, I have used my intuitive talents to lead my poetry. So I wanted to share this one here for other feelers and healers.
Don't forget to tune into Human, Unraveled.
This week's episode is a deep dive on highly sensitive people.
I intend this finds whomever it needs.

“I Was Made to Feel It All”
by Trish, for the sacred sensitive ones

I wasn’t made for shallow waters.
Though my human body struggles to swim.
My soul remembers the rhythm of stars,
my breath syncs with the ache of the trees.
I walk this world as an open altar:
tender, exposed, and unapologetically attuned.
They tell me I am too much.
Too emotional. Too soft.

I take in rooms like xrays,
read between the words,
catch the tremble behind a smile.
I cry for what others bury,
I ache where silence lives,
and I know things I was never told.
I’ve carried stories in my body
that didn’t start with me:
ancestral grief, collective tension,
childhood shadows in adult formations.

But I don’t carry them blindly.
I transmute them.
That’s my gift. That’s my vow.
I came here to feel it all.
To turn emotion into medicine.
To remind the world that
depth is holy
and truth has texture.

There were times I doubted it,
times I wanted to shut it down,
to be “normal,” to be numb,
fit the mold and please the crowd.

But my soul always pulls me back,
back into the ache,
back into the fire,
back into the alchemy,
back into the divine flames of my own sensitivity.

I’ve learned that my nervous system
isn’t broken, it’s brilliant.
It’s a tuning fork for what’s real.
It’s how I channel, how I love,
how I serve.

I’m not here to be hardened.
I’m here to soften the world.
To make space for others like me:
the feelers, the dreamers, the sensitives
who’ve been shamed into silence.
To them I say:
you’re not alone.
You were never too much.
You were never wrong for caring deeply,
hurting loudly, or loving with your whole being.
You were built for this depth.
It's the world that has hardened in the face of fear.

You were born with sacred skin.
And the world needs your exact frequency
now more than ever.
So I rise,
not in spite of my sensitivity,
but because of it.
And I will never again
dilute the medicine I am.

The body never lies, especially your feet.
In this photo, you’re looking at my client’s right foot (on your left). That side had just been released, while the other hadn’t yet. Notice the difference?

This client had a very engaged “fear” line (superficial back line). If you’re looking at feet at rest and it looks like a Barbie foot, with the heel lifted way up, you probably have an engaged fear line and this is the one I see most commonly!

Our feet are more than bones and fascia, they’re the anchors of our myofascial meridians, carrying the story of our emotions, stress, and even unspoken traumas. The way your feet rest, twist, or resist tells me what your nervous system is still holding onto.

Every step you take is a mirror of your inner world. 🌀
When the fascia lets go, so does the story.
Schedule with me and let me help release those trapped emotions.

Healing is not a race!
It’s not about bypassing pain or finding shortcuts.
If it took decades of trauma, conditioning, and emotional suppression to “walk into the woods,” it’s unrealistic (and harmful) to believe you can be guided out overnight.
The real work happens at the ROOT:
-Deep nervous system regulation: retraining your body to feel safe again.
-Releasing repressed emotion: what the body has carried for years.
-Shadow work: integrating the parts of yourself you’ve been taught to exile.

This is slow, but sacred work.
It doesn’t promise instant results.
But it does promise true freedom.
Don’t chase the quick fix. Chase the work that lasts.

Some thoughts and encouragement for those who have begun their healing journey and feel negative feelings because often what we THINK it will look like, isn't the way it goes.
But it is for the greater purpose to break you down and reveal misalignments that are keeping you stuck.

Do you ever feel like you have one foot in both worlds?
Once you make the concious choice to heal and to move through breaking unhealthy patterns and habits, letting the old wounded version of you die, your world will likely experience a violent shaking to its core.
People seem to grow distant, perhaps judgement...light is shed on harsh truths that cut like a knife right to your core.
When you call on the divine through prayer, ceremony or even by beginning to make the conscious choice to do different and be fully awake, everything will begin to fall away. And it hurts.
This is encouraging you to turn inward and destroy your ego so you may begin to live within the authentic self, not the fragmented ego that hides behind masks.
It can feel lonely, desolate, punishing. But have faith. The universe, energies, spirit: they are working FOR you and delivering what you asked for. Though we may not always see the more grand plan.
TRUST. Surrender into radical acceptance of what is.

Because there comes a moment on the journey when validation loses its grip, you allow the experience of being human to flow through you like the wind in the trees, and you will crave resonance instead.
When the goal shifts: not to be liked, but to be felt. To embody.
To be truly seen in your raw, mystical, imperfect truth.

You begin to understand a deeper intimacy. One not found in touch, but in the sacred safety of someone who holds your truth without flinching. You realize that loyalty isn't measured by how much you give, but by what is returned without ever having to ask.

Your longing to stay wild, weird, and wonderfully misfit? That’s your magic, refusing to be diluted.

The deeper you look, the more life whispers her secrets. Every heartbreak, every ghosted text, every door that closed or back that turned, every glance toward the stars, meeting of an animal or people on your path, it’s all a message. A mirror. A map.

Sometimes, healing isn’t earthly. It comes through unseen realms, unspoken energies, and the courage to walk the wolf’s path alone in the dark, just to remember the sound of your own howl.

So if you've ever been told you're too sensitive, too intense, too much for this world… maybe you’re not broken. Maybe you're just finely tuned, too aligned to resonate with the noise and illusions others accept without question.

You weren’t made to be understood by everyone.
You’re here to remember who you are.

To some, you’ll be chaos.
To others, you’ll be cosmic art.

In the angelic realm,
temperance is the sacred art of balance.
Where light does not overpower shadow,
and divine will flows through stillness.

To be spiritually attuned
is to hear the subtle harmony beneath chaos,
to move with grace in a world of extremes.

It is through temperance
that the soul becomes a clear channel for higher truth.
So when you feel like all is too much, call upon spirit and shift out of your earthly viewpoints to open up a higher perspective.
Wishing you all well on your journey today and everyday.
