Somatic Healing Coach

What if your body is speaking wisdom?

Most of us try to think our way out of stress. But your nervous system is actually 20,000x faster than your thoughts. That means your body knows what you need before your mind can catch up.

Ever felt a wave of tension or a gut feeling before you even knew why? That’s somatic intelligence in action. It’s not just “in your head”—it’s science, and it’s the key to real, lasting change.

From Burnout to Breakthrough: One Client’s Journey

Ever wonder what real transformation looks like?
Imagine waking up lighter, more present, and finally feeling at home in your own body. That’s exactly what happened for one of my clients—a high-achieving entrepreneur who came to me exhausted, anxious, and stuck in old patterns.

Together, we worked gently with her nervous system, blending somatic healing, conscious breathwork, and deep subconscious reprogramming. She learned how to tune in, set boundaries, and release years of tension she didn’t even realize she was carrying. Today, she’s thriving—sleeping better, reconnecting with her purpose, and taking bold steps in her business (and life) she never thought possible.

When your mind is spiraling, bring yourself back to your body with this simple practice:

Name out loud (or in your head):

5 things you can see (the lamp, your coffee mug, the tree outside…)
4 things you can touch (your chair, your shirt, the table…)
3 things you can hear (traffic, birds, your breath…)
2 things you can smell (coffee, lotion, fresh air…)
1 thing you can taste (mint, water, your last meal…)

Why this works: Anxiety lives in your thoughts about the past or future. This practice anchors you in the present moment through your senses—where you're actually safe.

When was the last time you felt seen?

I’ll never forget the moment a client sat across from me, hands covering her face, feeling like the weight of the world was just too much. She thought she’d tried everything. But it wasn’t until we gently tuned into her body’s wisdom that things began to shift.

What happened next? Clarity. Relief. The kind of hope that comes from finally being understood at the deepest level. She left lighter, more grounded, and with a toolkit to keep moving forward.

If you’re craving that kind of transformation, you’re not alone. Reach out to explore what’s possible for you. 💛

That tension in your shoulders? It's not just from sitting at your desk.

Your body stores stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotions in your muscles and tissues. This is why you can feel anxious even when there's "nothing to be anxious about."

Simple somatic release:

Stand up. Gently shake your hands, then your arms, then your whole body for 2 minutes. Let it be messy and uncoordinated.

This is what animals do naturally after stress—they shake it off. Your nervous system knows how to discharge what it's holding. You just have to give it permission.

"No" isn't just a word—it's a full-body experience.

When someone asks something of you, notice:
- Does your chest tighten?
- Does your stomach drop?
- Do your shoulders tense?

That's your body saying "no" before your mind can rationalize saying "yes."

Practice this:

Next time someone asks something of you, pause. Feel your body's response. Then say: "Let me check my schedule and get back to you."

This gives you space to honor what your body is telling you.

Burnout happens when we override our body's "no" over and over. Somatic boundaries mean listening to your body FIRST.

Your body has been trying to tell you something for years.

But you've been too busy listening to your mind.

Somatic awareness means learning to hear what your body is saying:
- That tightness in your chest? Your body saying "slow down"
- That heaviness in your legs? Your body saying "rest"
- That flutter in your stomach? Your body saying "this doesn't feel right"

The problem: We're taught to override our body's signals. Push through. Ignore discomfort. Keep going.

The result? Disconnection, burnout, and chronic stress.

What if you started trusting your body again?

Rest and recovery sound the same, but they're completely different.

Rest = doing nothing (sleeping, lying down)
Recovery = actively helping your body return to balance

You can rest all weekend and still feel exhausted Monday morning if your nervous system hasn't actually recovered.

Real recovery looks like:
- Gentle movement (stretching, walking, yoga)
- Breathwork that shifts your nervous system state
- Somatic practices that release held tension
- Time in nature or with loved ones
- Activities that bring you joy and presence

The difference? Rest is passive. Recovery is active healing.

What if your "mask" is keeping you stuck?

Most of us wear one. The polished face, the calm voice, the "I've got this" energy. But underneath, there's a whole world of truth your body is holding onto.

Real transformation starts the moment you let yourself be seen—flaws, feelings, and all. That’s when healing gets real.

When I was diagnosed in my late twenties with orthostatic hypotension and an autonomic dysfunction, I had no idea that almost 30 years later it would all make sense when the EDS diagnosis was presented. Learning not to stand up too quickly and eat a little more salt was a pretty quick and easy medication-free modification. It definitely helped me reduce the instances. These are interesting findings and hope there are more studies to come!

Nearly every person in a study with hEDS had reduced blood flow in the brain when standing, which was linked with orthostatic intolerance.
