💚 Healing doesn’t happen in isolation.

Our nervous systems are wired for connection — and resilience grows when we practice together.

That’s why I created Release & Recharge, a 12-week small group program (capped at 8 humans) designed to help you:

🌿 Regulate your nervous system
🌿 Release stress + what feels stuck
🌿 Build tools you can return to anytime

Each week blends somatic practices, nervous system education, and supportive group connection — all within a safe, structured container.

🗓 Sept 28–Dec 14 | Sundays 3–5pm
📍 Elevate Arts of Wellness
💲 $480 (or 3 x $160 payments)
✨ Only 8 spots available. Doors are open now.

Why talk therapy isn’t always enough

Talking about what’s bothering you can bring relief and insight—but it doesn’t always reach the parts of you that are still holding tension, fear, or old survival patterns.

That’s because stress, trauma, and overwhelm don’t just live in the mind—they live in the body and nervous system, too.

My Release & Recharge Intro Workshop is designed to go beyond words.
✨ Gentle, science-backed tools to calm and reset your nervous system
✨ Practices that help you release stored stress
✨ Ways to feel more grounded, present, and resilient in daily life

This isn’t just “self-care.” It’s whole-body healing.

You don’t have to be in a crisis to be stuck in survival mode.

Sometimes, it just feels like being tired all the time.

Snappy. Numb. On edge. Checked out.

These subtle signs often go unnoticed — but your body is always communicating.

Swipe through to see if any of these resonate 🌀

You might be surprised by what’s actually nervous system overload.

You don’t have to hold it all together.�You just have to begin. 🤍

Over a decade ago, I was in grad school — studying mind-body medicine, ironically — but my mind and body weren’t in sync.

At a school conference, I was caught off guard by emotionally heavy group work, no time to process, and a demanding academic load. I was overwhelmed, exhausted — and I didn’t know it yet, but I was in shutdown.

That night, I fainted. Five times. Hospital tests said I was totally healthy — but something deeper was happening.

It’s not a mystery anymore.
My nervous system was in collapse.
This was my body telling the truth — in the only language it had.

Freeze was my default. That experience led me to understand how important mobilization is — the fight energy we need to climb up the ladder and come back to life.

My body was never the problem.
It was the storyteller. And I finally started listening.

🌀 If your body is telling a story, I invite you to listen with me.
✨ Regulate & Receive sessions help you gently unwind, feel safe again, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.

I literally can’t make this stuff up!

A few weeks ago I was in Lawrence on a lil date with myself and did some end of year business planning with tarot.

I pulled these 2 cards and they’re basically siblings from different families (decks):

🛝 child of cups: playful, whimsy, using the imagination to connect with the energy of play (deck credit: )

+

Autonomic Haiku - playing with words for whimsy poems (deck: polyvagal deck by deb Dana)

I guess P L A Y is “in the cards” for me 😂

There’s something about a gloomy day I just love. It’s like the sky is saying hey, it’s ok to feel your feels. You don’t have to pretend to be something you’re not. Even dark and gloomy emotions have a purpose and value.

When I lived in San Diego I always missed the change of seasons, tho I loved San Diego “winters” because everyone thought 60 degrees was freezing so I’d have the bay to myself. It always felt weird to see Christmas lights on palm trees.

Anyone else love a dreary day?

Meme dump. Share with a friend who needs a laugh.

I'm not here to sugarcoat things and promise that “healing” is easy or even a straight path…it’s often a bumpy ride where you make a lot of mistakes, ugly cry, question every decision you’ve ever made, trust anyway, and have random moments where time stops and you feel free and then you do it all over again.

Is it calm before the storm or chaos before the breakthrough? However you slice it, healing is a process of self-discovery that has no end point.
