✨Lately, I’ve been thinking less about a “healing journey” and more about a deconstruction journey.

Because for a lot of people, this work doesn’t feel like becoming something new.
It feels like unlearning what you were taught to be.

It can feel like learning how to live again.
How to feel again.
How to respond instead of react.
How to care for yourself without guilt.
How to cope without numbing, pleasing, controlling, or shutting down.

In somatic work, this isn’t just mental or emotional.
It lives in the body.
In the nervous system.
In the ways you brace, shut down, over-function, or stay hypervigilant without realizing it.

When you’ve lived your whole life with certain patterns, beliefs, values, and coping strategies, they don’t just disappear.
They were learned.
They were modeled.
They were practiced for years.
Some of them kept you safe.
Some of them helped you survive.
Some of them helped you belong.

So deconstruction isn’t gentle all the time.
It’s confusing.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s disorienting.
It can feel like losing parts of your identity before you know who you are without them.

You’re not just changing habits.
You’re untangling who you learned to be from who you actually are, in both your mind and your body.

And that’s why this work can feel like learning how to walk again, talk again, feel again, and live again.
Not because you’re broken.
But because you’re shedding systems that shaped you before you had a choice.

This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering yourself.
It’s about letting go of patterns that once made sense, and making space for ones that actually fit who you are now.

Less “healing journey.”
More deconstruction journey.
More honesty.
More shedding.
More becoming.

✨If this resonates and you’re feeling called to explore your own deconstruction journey, you’re welcome to reach out. Weekly and biweekly spaces are available.

You don’t have to rush.
You don’t have to perform your growth.
You don’t have to have it figured out.
You’re allowed to move slowly, question deeply, and choose what feels true for you.

Late January can feel heavy.
The new year energy has faded, winter is still holding us, and many people feel tired, restless, or disconnected from themselves.

Through a nervous system lens, this isn’t something to fix.
It’s a season of wintering.

Working on yourself doesn’t always look like pushing forward or reinventing who you are. Often, it looks like slowing down, breaking old patterns, letting go of control, and learning how to feel safe within yourself.

That kind of work is not always easy or comfortable. It can be quiet, lonely, and deeply rewarding. You are not fixing yourself to fit in. You are healing yourself to be closer to the authentic you.

This week’s newsletter explores nervous system wintering, what “working on yourself” really means, and how gentle, body-centered practices can support safety, regulation, and self-trust during this season. I also share updates on upcoming yoga classes and how private-pay somatic therapy can support deeper healing at your own pace.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply tired of holding it all together, you’re not alone, and support doesn’t require a crisis.

You don’t need to rush this season.
Your nervous system knows the way.

Late January often carries a quiet weight. The initial energy of a new year has softened, the days remain cold and long, and many people notice a deeper sense of fatigue, restlessness, or emotional heaviness.
