This has been the biggest game changer for my clients’ healing journey…

But also for the therapists that practice at .therapy.counseling.

Trauma deregulates our nervous system. So having a structured plan and knowing what to expect puts clients at ease.

This takes the guess work out of trauma therapy.

Anger isn’t toxic. Suppressed anger, sadness, grief, etc. is.

If we allow ourselves to safely, in a relaxed body, to feel and process our emotions they can provide useful information.

Anger says “a boundary was crossed”.
Sadness says “That was important to me”.
Grief says “I loved”
Guilt says “I’m not aligned with my values”.

Learn to listen, instead of shame.

As a therapist (and as someone who has been there myself), I see so many people stacking on more routines, rituals, and habits in the hope that just one more thing will finally make them feel whole.

But here’s the truth: the most healing shift often isn’t adding more — it’s allowing yourself to relax into who you already are.

When self-care becomes another box to check, it feeds the cycle of “not enough.” But when it’s an expression of self-love, it transforms into nourishment.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply be with yourself — no productivity, no pressure, no “next level”… just presence.

Is your routine about proving something, or about loving yourself as you are?

We spend so much energy perfecting self-care routines—skincare, workouts, supplements, morning rituals. But none of it can undo the damage of a voice inside that constantly criticizes, doubts, or tears you down.

Your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between someone else’s harsh words and your own. Every time you talk to yourself with judgment, your body goes into defense mode. Every time you speak to yourself with kindness, your body softens and opens.

That’s why the way you talk to yourself matters more than any external routine—it’s the foundation that makes all the other things actually work.

Practice this: pause right now and say one loving, supportive sentence to yourself. Even if it feels weird, notice how your body shifts when you hear your own kindness.

if we don’t learn how to slow down and savor life now…

… We will one day arrive at our deathbed and realized the substance of life itself has slipped through our fingers.

That is the result of a life lived in the mind.

for women now more than ever it is important to reconnect with ourselves.

Our own feminine essence.

Learning how to use somatics allows us to really live and enjoy our lives. Experience its fullness. Revel in the chaos and pleasure of the human experience.

So many problems aren’t the problem.
They’re your nervous system screaming for regulation.

Anxious? Nervous system.
Bloated? Nervous system.
Stressed? Nervous system.
Overworked? Nervous system.

Regulate that, change everything.

The real flex isn’t pretending nothing gets to you.

It’s feeling it—like really feeling it—without letting it run the show.

Something triggers you? Cool. Notice where it hits in your body.

Is it tight in your chest? Heavy in your stomach?

Breathe into it. Move it through. Shake it out. Dance it out.

Do anything but hand your power over to that moment.

You don’t have to keep bracing for impact. I know it might feel like something bad is always around the corner—like if you stay ready, you won’t get hurt. But that kind of tension isn’t safety. It’s survival mode.

Your nervous system might still be wired to expect pain or chaos, even when you’re finally safe. This is what trauma does: it teaches the body to stay tense, to prepare, to tighten. But the truth is, a soft, relaxed, alert body will protect you far better than a stiff, guarded one.

You don’t have to live in that constant state of clenching.
You’re allowed to breathe.
You’re allowed to soften.
You’re allowed to feel safe in your own skin.

If there’s danger, you’ll meet it more clearly and effectively from a calm place. And if there’s no danger? Then you get to live. Really live.

Let this be your reminder to pause, exhale, and come back to your body. You’re safe now.

Fear doesn’t go away by avoiding it.
It alchemizes when the body learns it’s safe even while it’s here.

Not after.
Not when it passes.
While it’s still present.

That’s when the nervous system rewires.
That’s when fear becomes power.

I like to tell my clients the story of the two children who failed their math test.

Child A comes home and her parents say “this is terrible. That is not good enough. You need to do better. You know this is unacceptable. Do better next time.”

Child B comes home and her parents say “that test must’ve been really hard for you. Let’s figure out what happened. I think if you study harder next time you can do better. How can I help?”

which child do you think would do better on the second test?

If you answered child B… then why do you keep talking to yourself like the parents of child a?

Often when we don’t do as well as expected in life, or things don’t turn out how we wanted, we shame ourselves.

We tell ourselves that’s not good enough.

We tell ourselves we need to do better.

Or we just try to gaslight ourselves and say it’s gonna be OK.

when deep down there’s still that feeling of uncertainty, guilt, and shame.

It’s a normal thing our brain does. We think that being hard on ourselves is going to help us improve.

but looking at this example with kids is a clear way to see that we do better when we’re treated with understanding, compassion, and care.

This is the type of work I do with my clients. and if you’re ready to get started DM me “untamed” to get the free guide.

Most of us weren’t taught how to feel safe inside our own bodies.

We were taught to analyze emotions, fix them, or ignore them—not to listen.

But your emotions aren’t the problem. They’re the guide.

And when you feel safe enough to hear them, they become your power.

That’s when boundaries feel natural.

That’s when you speak your truth without spiraling.

It all starts with inner safety.

I made a free guide to help you begin.
