First of all, if you’re freaking out right now, I want to extend my heartfelt compassion to you.

Life can be incredibly challenging, and it's okay to feel harrowed or anxious. (In fact, it’s okay to feel ANYTHING that you may be feeling right now.)

Join me for this gentle and supportive somatic meditation. Let it guide you out of the spiral and help you get your feet beneath you again.

Self-love is a term often misunderstood and oversimplified. We know it’s an ideal we want to work toward, but most of the advice we hear about how to actually achieve it totally misses the mark.

In this Somatic Self-Love Practice, you’ll explore how deep listening and inner attunement can help you cultivate a relationship with yourself where you create a deep sense of connection, acceptance, and support (the true foundations of self-love).

You’ll be guided through a regulating and compassionate somatic meditation for self-love and support that will help you attune to your inner self more deeply and bring loving support to the parts of you that need it.

This somatic self-love practice is truly a soothing and regulating revolution in self-love. 🩷

In today's digital age, social media has woven itself into the fabric of our daily lives, offering both connection and distraction at our fingertips. And while social media has some beautiful and supportive aspects, the algorithms behind it are designed to be highly addictive and manipulative.

We scroll, hoping to find something uplifting, educational, or distracting, but we soon find ourselves lost in the unfulfilling world of doomscrolling. The endless scroll for dopamine hits can lead to significant costs: nervous system dysregulation, emotional exhaustion, and a disrupted sense of self.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, you’ll be guided to connect with your body in a way that gently regulates your nervous system. Then we’ll use a body-centered emotional processing technique (called Regenerating Images in Memory®) to examine and process the deeper feelings, needs and desires that are driving your doomscrolling in the first place.

This meditation can be incredibly regulating and clarifying, empowering you to create a more mindful relationship with technology—one that supports your well-being rather than depleting it.

This deeply soothing breathwork practice to regulate your nervous system is truly one of my favorite ways to decrease stress and anxiety and to create a state of peaceful relaxation in my body!

It will help you regulate, drop in, and come home to yourself in a way that is so simple yet profoundly effective.

Breathwork is one of the most powerful tools we have for nervous system regulation.

By consciously working with our breath in certain ways, we can send a signal to our brain and body that we are safe. This simple message allows our nervous system to move out of its stressed or reactive state and back into a state of functional, flexible balance.

In addition to working with the breath, this practice invites you to drop in and really feel your body. Bringing our awareness to the body in this way can quiet your mind and tone your vagus nerve, which is a key player in regulating the nervous system.

Give it a try now!

When our nervous systems are constantly overtaxed by the demands of modern life, our bodies often get stuck in a state of chronic stress and anxiety. This makes true relaxation hard to acheive! (When our nervous systems are so stressed, a bubble bath isn’t going to cut it.)

To truly relax, we need to soothe our nervous systems by creating a safe, loving internal environment that allows our bodies to shift from survival mode to a state of rest and rejuvenation.

And one of my very favorite ways to do that is with Havening Techniques®.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, join me for a lovely Havening Exercise for Relaxation and Rejuvenation that will help you nourish your body, heart and mind, while guiding you gently into a more regulated state.

You've probably heard that in order to heal, you need to feel your emotions. This is absolutely true, but it can be hard to know HOW exactly to do that.

In our fast-paced world, most of us are lost in our thoughts, disconnected from our bodies, and stuffing our true feelings.

In this episode of Somatic Healing Meditations, I guide you on a soothing journey inward with a somatic meditation designed specifically to help you feel your emotions in a deep, body-centered way. This isn’t about getting rid of feelings or over-analyzing them. It’s about truly feeling and understanding them, allowing for natural emotional release and relief.
