This morning on a rainy walk in Squamish, I stopped at Tony’s Bench — one of my favourite spots to lean against a fir and just breathe.

As I was there a small pine caught my eye. The e bottom of its trunk was bare… but above? Full, lush green needles. Alive and still growing 🌲

It reminds me of the couples I work with.
Not broken — just worn down where connection used to be easy.
Years of tiny ruptures and very little repair can make it feel like the love you deserve is out of reach. But — just like the tree… growth is absolutely possible. I see it everyday.

I’ve watched couples com back to each other — softer, with more smiles and true connection — even after decades of disconnect.

Yes decades.

💫Relationship Reset Workshop
📍 Victoria BC
📅 November 22nd | 1-4pm

There are 2 spots left for couples and a few more for individuals.

And the best part?
Every single participant has said they learned something new about themselves and their relational life after the workshop.

💌 Send me a DM or tap the link in my bio to save your spot.

All my best,

Luana

PS.
It’s been… a while (6+ months!). No excuses — simply a big season of rebranding and being in that awkward in between stage. Thank you for your patience and grace as things shift and evolve over here. It’s really nice to see you again 🤍

No one ever solved anything with harshness.

I was reminded of this while snapping this photo at the largest market in Africa — two kittens curled up in the middle of the chaos, finding softness amidst the heat, the crowd, and the danger of a place where cats are often overlooked.

It made me think of a couple I worked with recently — how quickly our walls go up when we’re hurt. We become cold, sharp, distant. We think that strength means withholding softness.

But the truth is, harshness halts connection.
Softness is what lets us stay in it.

It’s terrifying to be soft with someone who’s hurt us. But it’s also the gateway to intimacy. The kind that heals. The kind that helps us feel seen and met — instead of stuck in the same painful loop.

On May 3rd in Victoria, I’m offering Relationship Reset, a live in-person workshop for couples and individuals ready to shift how they do love. You’ll learn how to be soft and strong. Boundaried and open. Loving and powerful — all in one breath.

There are only 3 spots left.
This is for anyone who’s ready to reconnect — with yourself or someone you love.

Meet Hope, my amazing assistant 🐾
You may know her soulful eyes and sweet wiggles if you’ve come to an in-person session recently. Or her wagging tail right on cue at the end of our zoom calls.

She has a knack for chiming in with a quintessential dog sound when an ‘aha moment’ is present.

Her sweet and playful presence provides that extra bit of support for everyone’s nervous system 🌞

When she’s not on her therapy dog duties she’s chief branch officer, rabbit obsessed and always up for the next shred in the bush or the beach.

Hello, my name is Luana.
A decade ago I woke up every morning with chronic pain, social anxiety and dreaded my daily duties. Today I live pain free and have created a life I love :)

I’m a Nervous System Specialist with an expertise in body-based trauma healing and relationship coaching.
Like so many of us, I have a history that got the best of me for decades. I was socialized to be a quiet, good girl, to people please and comply. I felt like I had tried everything (and I mean everything) to feel at peace in my mind and body.

I longed to overcome anxiety, depression, shame and chronic health issues that plagued me for years. I eventually learned I was carrying the effects of generational and childhood trauma I didn’t even know I had because I grew up with a really good life.

I’m grateful everyday for what I found. I found out that the root of all my problems was rooted in my autonomic nervous system.

💥 The part of us that chooses our thoughts, determines our hearts beat, directs how we feel, our sleep-wake cycles, how we choose our coffee order. After sitting with 2000+ people in 40 countries worldwide I know that no matter how terrified, hopeless, apathetic or stuck we may feel, healing is available.

Booking a free chemistry call on my website is the first step to a personalized, non-pathologizing healing plan.

Take good care,

Luana

I’ve had this conversation with many people this month. When do you stop coming for sessions?

Someone I worked with says it best, ‘triage trauma therapy is helpful but the real transformational stuff happened way after I was out of the triage room.’

I love the way she uses this metaphor. We’ve all seen Grey’s Anatomy and know that once someone gets care at a tough time and leaves triage, they still have a long recovery road ahead of them.

All too often people will try nervous system and trauma healing out for a few sessions (the work of Dr. Peter Levine, Dr.Stephen Terrell or Dr. Kathy Kain) and quit during the stabilization period. Aka once they’ve taken one step out of the triage room.

In my experience this is not the time to stop.

After years of our nervous systems and NORMAL being in one orientation it is unrealistic to expect a few hours experiencing a new direction to stick around for a life time or feel better after every session or practice we do.

I get it.

This is hard to accept when we live in a world and economy that can make it challenging to invest in ourselves. When our attention spans are being trained for 7 second videos, consumerism culture rewards the wounded parts of ourselves, it can feel strange to go down the winding, non linear path of deep nervous system level healing that brings us back to our inner medicine and soul’s truth.

Here’s to trusting the process 🤍

I’m referring to the fight flight freeze stress response that’s inherently automatic and biological in all humans.

Meaning we can’t control this stress response with thoughts or mindset tools.

A big misconception is that we move in and out of these biological states and come back to regulation or harmony.

In an ideal world everyone should absolutely have the resources and capacity to do this. However for the demographic of good humans I’m fortunate to support living in some degree of functional freeze is all we know.

Functional freeze is the baseline.
Until new neural pathways are built and a new baseline becomes available. This is what I teach in my programs.

So why is this a thing?

Well when big scary things happen our survival physiology will assess (automatically and in milliseconds)

Can I fight this person or in this situation?

If it’s a no, we run for the hills!

If running away isn’t an option we freeze as a last resort for survival purposes.

Again this is automatic and happens in milliseconds.

Most of us experienced stuff early in life where freezing was the best option.

1. We got sent to our room to think about our ‘bad behaviour’ when emotions were running high. A young child cannot teach themselves how to regulate so the default is numbing out aka freeze response.

2. Medical interventions were necessary to save lives. No chance to run away.

3. There was constant unrest at home (mumsie and dadsie just didn’t get along) but there was no safe place to run away to.

There are many more examples I could give but for the sake of keeping this post short I’ll end here.

Why is this important today?

Mental health and health issues are not a life sentences. I’m sending out a special offer to the subscribers on my email list in a few days so if you’re not already on go to my website to jump on so you don’t miss this special offer.

If you’re already on there (thank you :) and you can look for me in your inbox next week.

Stay warm.

MUST READ 📚

The Brain’s Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity

~ Dr. Norman Doidge

It was only 7 years ago when Dr. Norman Doidge introduced neuroplasticity to the world — the idea that our brains are NOT rigidly wired. Our brain has the ability to wire, unwire and rewire in new ways.

I fondly reference this book as the book of miracles firmly based in science.

Doidge explores cases where patients are alleviated from chronic pain, recovered from debilitating strokes, brain injuries, learning disorders, adhd and found relief from symptoms of MS, CP, autism and Parkinson’s disease to name a few.

I first started reading his work a decade ago when I was suffering from chronic pain and needed ‘a book of miracles’ to reboot my faith in my bodies ability to heal.

If you are a practitioner of healing or need a reboot in your bodies ability to bounce back in ways that are sometimes unimaginable this one’s for you.

:)
