Light in the Dark by Erica Ann

Co regulation tells a person I am safe and I see you. ✨

When we gather in attuned, caring relationships, our bodies start to recalibrate toward trust. From there, discernment returns. Collective awakening happens through seeing the manipulations combined with rebuilding the conditions that make connection possible again.

So much of the work I do is inspired by his teachings 💫

✨ Be the Change ✨

Our society still struggles to understand how to support people whose nervous systems are overwhelmed by chronic stress, trauma, and isolation.

And yet….these people are all around us. They’re in our families, our workplaces, our friendships, and our communities. Many of them are quietly surviving what would break most people.

When someone has a dysregulated or exhausted nervous system, what they need isn’t judgment, pressure, or “just calm down.”

They need environments that feel safe.
They need people who know how to slow down.
They need connection without demand.
They need gentleness, patience, and choice.

We can all be part of that change.
By learning about trauma.

By speaking with compassion instead of reaction.

By recognizing triggers instead of dismissing them.

By offering presence instead of fixing.
By creating spaces…big or small…where nervous systems can breathe again.

This is the work I am devoted to: trauma-informed Yoga, somatic movement, Reiki, and spiritual healing for those living with complex trauma.

Healing is possible when the body finally feels safe enough to soften.

Let’s build a world where trauma-aware isn’t the exception….it’s the norm.

Every healing journey begins with a single, powerful decision…. to feel safety in your body again.

Through somatic movement and trauma-informed yoga, we gently rebuild that sense of safety, one breath and one mindful moment at a time.

You are worthy of peace, safety, and connection. 💛

✨ “I don’t teach yoga…I welcome people back to their bodies.” ✨

When the vagus nerve is affected by chronic stress or trauma, our natural sense of safety can become disrupted.

We start living more in our heads — overthinking, anxious, and disconnected — and less in our bodies, where calm and presence live.

Gentle movement, mindful breathing, and grounding practices help stimulate the vagus nerve and restore that inner sense of balance.

For me yoga is about coming home to yourself. 🫶🏻💜✨

✨ Reiki Healing Sessions ✨

Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful form of energy healing that restores balance, reduces stress, and supports emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

During each session, I also infuse the soothing sounds of singing bowls, that adds an extra layer of comfort and bliss to your healing experience. The vibrations help deepen relaxation, clear energy blockages, and leave you feeling refreshed and renewed. ✨

I support you and guide you through co-regulated breathing before starting the session to help bring a sense of grounding.

Investment in Your Healing:
$75 for 1 hour

Reiki can help with:

Stress & anxiety relief.

Resetting the nervous system, guiding it out of fight–flight–freeze into rest & restore.

Emotional balance & clarity

Deep relaxation

Restoring energetic harmony

Give yourself the gift self care and alignment. 🤍

My cousin-in-law fought breast cancer with so much courage. One thing that always stayed with me was how her doctor in Mexico focused on the whole person—he had her working on emotional healing, following an alkaline diet, and even doing laughter yoga to stimulate the vagus nerve.

He believed (and I do too) that the body can’t fully heal when the heart is carrying pain or the nervous system is stuck in survival.

That changed how I see healing.

Grief, stress, and trauma don’t just disappear—they live in the body until we create safety, move, breathe, feel, and release. Nourishing food, emotional processing, somatic movement, breath, and spiritual connection… they all matter.

This is why I offer 1:1 spiritual & somatic healing sessions. 💫

If your body is tired of carrying it all, I’d love to support you. 💜
