SOMATIC SANCTUARY
Inhabit your body with more ease and grace via an empowering blend of nervous system education and embodiment, restoration tools & practices, mentorship, and community
Uncomfortable in your own skin? Do you want to feel less like a machine and more like a human again?
In this overwhelming, overstimulating, chaotic world, is it even possible?
YES!
EASE is your natural state.
Calm. Centered. Grounded. Content. Vitality. Homeostasis. Wellbeing. Radiance. Open. Being. Grace. Safe in Your Own Skin. Resilience. Presence. Connected. Happiness. Peace. Bliss. Joy! Love.
Imagine embodying (not just thinking about) your birthright of EASE and remember what it is like to feel like a human being, instead of a human doing. You look out into the world with softer eyes, a gentler heart, and calm, grounded and relaxed body. You sense a greater connection to spirit and soul…
Now is the time to feel like your Best Self again, as well as experience an abundance of holistic wellness benefits such as:
Clearer thinking
Emotional steadiness
Better sleep
Gut health
Reduced aches and pains
Less dis-ease
Sustainable spiritual connection
Positive relationships
Kindness
Confidence
Presence
More energy, time, and money
The truth is that YOU matter.
By the very nature of your existence, you belong. You are part of the interconnected web of life, woven into the fabric of divine humanity.
COME BACK TO LIFE.
ARE YOU…
An energy sensitive, empath, intuitive often overwhelmed and overstimulated by the world?
On a spiritual journey and sometimes struggle with living in your body or keeping your vibe high in the day-to-day stuff of life?
A health and wellness enthusiast doing all the “right things,” but feels weary in trying to keep up with everything that’s supposed to be good for you?
Interested in practicing more self-care, but have a hard time giving yourself permission or finding the time without feeling “selfish” or guilty?
An overworked, stressed-out human wondering if there is more to life than “this” and not sure of how much more you can take?
Utterly burnt out, fried, and wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again?
I understand.
I am blessed and challenged with a highly sensitive nervous system, the exquisite physiology designed in every human to interface between the external world and inner experience.
I have wondered if mine was designed on the outside of my body instead of the inside. It feels like I have a zillion antenna all over my body, making me hyper-aware of everything around me.
Add to that my empathic abilities, intuitive inclinations, and hypervigilant tendencies, life is alot. Sometimes I live in technicolor, other times I'd rather live in a cave.
Environment is powerful. From early development to present-day, what we are exposed to on a regular basis impacts our choices and behaviors. We know what we know.
The current collective (un)consciousness of the world is steeped in ancient paradigms of disconnection, disembodiment, and dehumanization. I have drunk the same cultural kool-aid to be inhumanely productive. I have tried to live from the neck up and had years of the Sunday evening slump before entering the rat race, again. I have done too much, pushed too hard, and moved too fast. I have numbed, self-medicated, been lost, dazed, and confused.
Fortunately, as a body geek, I know better than to tolerate a chronically stressed way of life. It is not normal or natural. I have been studying how the body works for over 20 years. Not only do I know that there is “more to life than this” intellectually and spiritually, I also know what vitality, homeostasis, ease, joy, and divine grace feels like in every cell of my body. I will not settle for a mediocre life.
This is why I created the Somatic Sanctuary.
I have a fierce love conviction to help others remember their divine humanity and sustain a humane pace of living for the sake of ourselves and our planet.
It is challenging to stay connected to an easeful way of being when surrounded by 24/7 overstimulation and steeped in ancient exhaustion - without more tools, practices, and support.
I offer the Somatic Sanctuary as a safe haven to be reminded of your birthright to feel alive and well!
Welcome to the Somatic Sanctuary!
The Somatic Sanctuary supports you to feel more connected, comfortable, and confident in your own skin. An essential first step to more sanctuary in your soma? Getting out of your head and into your body!
I get it, in our disembodied culture, it is not uncommon to experience the body as a foreign, perhaps frightening at times, land to navigate. This is why the Somatic Sanctuary is centered around the transformational How to Really Relax™ curriculum where you learn to reclaim your calm, cherish your nervous system, and restore naturally to feel human again.
This 5-Module curriculum teaches 10 key skills to live a restorative lifestyle via easy-to-digest videos, audios, slide decks + over 50 supporting handouts, guided experiences & embodiment practices.
THESE 10 KEY SKILLS INCLUDE:
Skill #1: Ease is Your Birthright; Skill #2: Reclaim Rhythm of Life; Skill #3: Designed for Safety: Nervous System 101; Skill #4: Embodying Your Nervous System; Skill #5: Your Why: What’s in it for You; Skill #6: Your Body IS the Permission; Skill #7: How to Create White Space; Skill #8: Not All Tools are Created Equal; Skill #9: Rightsize Your Restoration; Skill #10: Real Relaxation in Real Life
It is possible, your birthright in fact, to return to ease and live a restorative lifestyle, instead of tolerating chronic stress as a way of life.

WHY SOMATIC SANCTUARY?
Here are a few reasons…
Honoring body wisdom is counter culture.
A restorative lifestyle isn't traditionally supported and is critical for life and living.
Nervous system education and embodiment is often missing in health and wellness.
The external world is too loud, fast, and overwhelming - and not slowing down any time soon.
You are a divine human be-ing and feeling good in your skin will help evolve your soul.
NOW is all there is. COME BACK TO LIFE.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I too much going on?
Exactly. The Somatic Sanctuary is about supporting you to cultivate more balance between doing and being. You do not have to do everything! A variety of easy-to-digest pieces are offered at different times and timeframes. Choose what and when it fits and know that you will never be behind.
How long do I have access to the How to Really Relax™ program?
After enrolling into the Somatic Sanctuary and being a member for a minimum of 7 months, you have lifetime access to this core curriculum, including updates, even when you choose not to be part of the Somatic Sanctuary.
Is this trauma therapy?
Since the Somatic Sanctuary has everything to do with the body and all of your experiences it houses, stuck stress, stagnant energy, and unprocessed emotions and events will inevitably be experienced to some degree.
The Somatic Sanctuary is trauma-informed and the core curriculum, How to Really Relax™, focuses on nervous system education and empowerment. You learn skills and tools in a supportive environment to cultivate a safer and easeful experience in your body. Though you may experience therapeutic results, it is not a traditional therapeutic container. If you experience more than you can hold on your own or within the Somatic Sanctuary, referral resources are available.
