Each month, Still, Us offers a gentle place to gather with others walking the dementia journey — care partners, loved ones, professionals, and anyone touched by brain change who longs for connection, understanding, and support.

🌿 January’s focus: Letting Down

This circle invites us to soften the armor.
To name the exhaustion we often carry quietly.

Letting down is about allowing vulnerability — removing the mask of strength, honoring how much this journey asks of us, and practicing the courage it takes to ask for help. In this space, you don’t have to hold it all together. You get to be human.

🕊️ Still, Us: A Monthly Community Circle

📅 Thursday, January 29

⏰ 2:30–4:00 PM

📍 Community Presbyterian Church, Pinehurst

Facilitated by Dr. Karen Sullivan and special guests

If you’re tired, tender, or simply longing to be met with compassion — you are welcome here.

Because even when we let ourselves down into rest… we are Still, Us. 🤍

Hola Beloved,

How is this icy, chilly winter treating you?
How have these first few weeks of 2026 felt in your body, your heart, your life?

Personally, I am deeply grateful I followed my intuitive nudges to take a winter’s pause. I do this every year, but this one felt especially poignant and necessary — so much so that it began in late autumn.

Have you ever felt like your entire being needed rest?
Physically. Mentally. Emotionally. Energetically. Spiritually. Financially. Socially.

For me, true restoration requires unplugging from outside noise (minus work) and turning inward. Silence. Stillness. Nature. Slow movement. Self-massage. Sleep. Solitude. These are some of my favorite medicines.

And — somewhat paradoxically — community has also been a vital part of my restoration. I am so grateful to have led a few somatic workshops and to continue facilitating the Still, Us community circles.

💚

Through these community engagements, I’ve been able to remember, return, release, and realign.

Grief and I have become intimate companions over the past decade.

This summer marks ten years since I became my mother’s primary caregiver and dementia care partner — a role that has profoundly shaped who I am and how I move through the world.

This past December was the five-year anniversary of her passing. Five years without my mom feels both impossibly long… and somehow not long at all.

This past autumn, my marriage was legally dissolved. Though short, it may be my most impactful romantic relationship. I carry no regrets — only lessons.

💜

As I navigate a full-time job with a dynamic schedule, I’m taking intentional space to re-envision how I can sustainably offer private sessions.

In many ways, I’m practicing what I invite others into—slowing down, reconnecting with myself, tending to my nervous system, and taking time to fill my cup, so I may give from the overflow...

I am honoring this season by choosing ease over urgency, silence over noise, tuning in over tuning out and Being over Doing.

I will continue facilitating community offers! Please follow and join my newsletter for the latest updates.

Thank you for your patience, grace, and support 🙏🏽

Each month, Still, Us invites us into the tender, human work of being with dementia in a more spacious, compassionate way.

Created by Dr. Sullivan, this 8-month community circle supports caregivers, family members, professionals, and anyone touched by brain change who wants to feel less alone and more grounded in connection.

🌿 December’s focus: Letting Be

This month, we explore acceptance and mindful presence — learning to sit with dementia as it is, without trying to fix, control, or deny it.

Letting be doesn’t mean giving up. It means softening into what’s true, noticing what’s here, and allowing ourselves (and our loved ones) to be held with more gentleness.

This circle is a space to exhale… to remember that even as things shift, there is still connection, meaning, and relationship available.

✨ December Workshop — Inviting Calm Within the Holiday Frenzy ✨

The holiday season can be beautiful… and overwhelming.

Even when we’re excited, our bodies can slip into tension, overthinking, exhaustion, or emotional overload.

This 90-minute somatic workshop is an invitation to step out of the hustle and come home to yourself — to find calm not by “pushing through,” but by gently supporting your nervous system back into harmony. 🤍

We’ll explore:

🌿 Somatic movement to release built-up tension

🌬 Breathwork practices for grounding + emotional steadiness

🫧 Guided relaxation to soften the body and settle the mind

This session is designed to help you reset, breathe deeper, and create space for ease during a typically stressful time of year.

Each month, Still, Us invites us to slow down, connect, and remember what stays true — even through change.

Created by Dr. Sullivan, a local neuropsychologist, this 8-month community circle explores how we can live and love alongside brain change with more presence, patience, and compassion. It’s for caregivers, family members, professionals, and anyone touched by dementia who longs for connection and understanding.

Our circle is facilitated by special guests, including local faith leaders, mind/body practitioners and artists with personal and/or professional experience with dementia and brain change.

🌿 November’s focus: Letting Out

This month, we’ll explore the tender work of releasing — creating space for grief, anger, and sadness that often stay hidden and heavy. When we allow our emotions to move, we make room for breath, relief, and renewed connection.

🌬️ Client Experience 🌬️
I love witnessing what’s possible when we give the body space to release and breathe again.

This beloved client came in for their first somatic session — and left feeling lighter, calmer, and more at ease in their body.

Each session is a chance to reconnect with yourself, to let go of what’s been held for too long, and to rediscover your natural state of balance.

If you’ve been curious about somatic work I’d love to support your journey.

✨ November Workshop — Embodied Gratitude ✨

We all think about gratitude — we make lists, say “thank you,” and try to stay positive.
But sometimes, even when we “think thanks,” there’s still a quiet sense of emptiness, performance, or disconnection.

That’s because gratitude begins in the mind, but it’s meant to be felt — in the heart, body, and Soul.

Join me for this 90-minute somatic workshop designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and cultivate gratitude as a lived experience within your body. 🧘‍♀️

Through gentle movement, breathwork, self-massage, and guided reflection, we’ll explore how feeling gratitude — not just thinking it — can soften tension, restore perspective, and lift the spirit, especially during a season of change.

✨ A healing journey rooted in service, ancestry, and heart

As a woman in perimenopause, a former caregiver, veteran, and trauma-informed somatic therapist — I deeply understand the inner restlessness, the uncertainty, and the longing to meet ourselves with grace and compassion during life’s transitions.

My path to this work began in 2008, while serving in the U.S. Navy. Yoga found me during a time of uncertainty and curiosity— and for the first time, I experienced stillness in my mind. That moment changed everything.

What started as a physical practice became a profound journey of release, rediscovery, and empowerment. It carried me through my transition out of the military, into teaching yoga for veterans, and eventually into the deeper realms of yoga therapy and somatic healing.

In 2016, life invited me into another sacred role — caregiving for my mother as she began her journey with dementia. Through touch, breath, and presence, I witnessed the body’s capacity to soothe, connect, and communicate beyond words. That experience led me to study bodywork and massage therapy — and ultimately back home to my calling.

After her passing in 2020, I took time to grieve, realign, and remember who I was beyond all the roles I’d held. Out of that season of reflection, Hola Beloved was born — a space for women to reconnect with their bodies, their wisdom, and their wholeness.

Here, I integrate bodywork, massage, yoga therapy, and trauma-informed somatic practices to support women — especially those moving through perimenopause and beyond — in softening, feeling, and coming home to themselves.

🧡 You deserve the same care and compassion you so easily extend to others.

It’s an honor to walk alongside you on your healing path 🙏🏽

“Once people are not here physically, the spiritual remains, we still connect, we can communicate, we can give and receive love and forgiveness. There is love after someone dies.”

“Una vez que la gente no está aquí físicamente, lo espiritual permanece, todavía nos conectamos, podemos comunicarnos, podemos dar y recibir amor y perdón. Hay amor después de que alguien muere”.

I took this picture of you five years ago today... completely oblivious that 35 days later you’d be gone from this earth.

I miss you every. single. day. This past year even more than ever ❤️‍🩹

I miss our sacred bubble!!! But, I know you are with me. I feel you. Some days more than others. I know without a doubt that you continue to guide me, protect me and inspire me.

I don’t believe in regrets and I don’t live in the past, but... I so wish I could turn back time and spend one more moment with you. I love you mami.
