What finally broke that pattern wasn’t better information. It was someone who could see what I couldn’t see from inside my own nervous system.

And tools or messages that were more personal to my specific patterns that actually helped me.

That’s what this small group is. Not more education to consume- a real container with real support where your nervous system actually gets to expand.

Starts April 22.

Comment GROUP or DM me. I’ll reach out personally to make sure it’s a good fit.

i can tell you’re craving answers
-> not the kind that tell you what to eat or what to try next, the kind that explain why you keep doing everything right and still hitting the same ceiling, why your nervous system won’t fully let go no matter how many tools you have, why you’re better than you were but not where you thought you’d be by now.

here’s what I’ve seen over and over in the people I work with: at a certain point it’s not about more tools, the part that hasn’t shifted yet is underneath the tools, it’s the stuff about who you’ve been performing as for so long that your nervous system genuinely doesn’t feel safe enough to let go yet, and that is the layer where things actually change.

*im hosting a small group of 6 people in this round of the Mind Body Healing Method small group and this time we have live coaching calls where you actually get to bring what’s coming up for you and get coached on it specifically, a smaller more intimate container, and people going through it alongside you.

here’s what we’re doing together:

✔️6 live group coaching calls where you actually get coached on what’s coming up for you specifically, not just theory, your actual stuff

✔️full lifetime access to the Mind Body Healing Method course so you have everything you need long after we’re done

✔️ a group chat where you can ask questions, share wins, and stop feeling like you’re doing this alone (which honestly might be one of the most underrated parts)

one of the cruelest things chronic illness does is make you feel completely isolated in it and this container is genuinely the opposite of that.

2 spots left. We start april 22. if this is landing, comment or DM me the word GROUP and I’ll send you everything.

She wasn’t sure if it would work for her.

Kayla is a licensed therapist. She already knew about the nervous system. She’d read the books, listened to the podcasts, gone through the protocols.

She still had migraines 3–4x a month. GI issues. POTS symptoms. And she was doing all of it while showing up every day for her clients.

The thing no one had told her: she didn’t need more information. She needed to actually work with her nervous system, not just understand it.

That’s what Mind-Body Healing Method  is built around.

The next small group starts next week. 2 spots left.

Comment or DM ‘GROUP’ to apply & I’ll message with you to make sure it’s a good fit.

ps- Kayla was just featured on the - if you want to hear her full story, listen to Ep. 120 wherever you get your podcasts!

I’m sitting in a sauna in Bali and this guy comments on my tattoos. Asks where the mountains are from and I tell him Colorado. His jaw dropped because he’d literally just been messaging a mind-body therapist in Denver looking for help with nervous system stuff. And he’s coming from Dubai.

He told me he was there to recover. Body crashes, no sleep, unable to work. And I could tell by the way he was describing it that he had done some deep work. 10+ years studying Buddhism with great masters and teachers. He could observe his thoughts without attaching to them, had unconditional compassion, didn’t judge, didn’t react. Real, earned spiritual awareness.

And his body was falling apart.

He’d spent a decade learning to non-attach from the body, to rise above sensation and emotion. And he was so good at it that his nervous system never got the chance to actually process what it was holding. Every time trauma tried to surface, he observed it and let it go. Exactly like he’d been trained to do.

Spiritually? Masterful. Somatically? Still stuck in survival mode.

Then he said something I haven’t stopped thinking about, something that honestly gets to the core of why so many people do all the “right” things and still feel stuck in their body 👇

“I’ve actually been bypassing everything that I needed to sit with & I can’t do it alone”

You cannot think, meditate, or self-aware your way through what your body is holding. Your nervous system needs someone else to help it learn that what’s been buried is safe to feel.

Without that, your body keeps protecting you the only way it knows how: physical symptoms, nervous system stress, shutdown. Not because you haven’t done enough work, but because the body doesn’t let go alone. It lets go in relationship, in co-regulation, with someone who can stay with you while the hard stuff finally comes through.

He asked if I could help him… what I told him might surprise you.

There’s something about standing with women who knew you at some of your hardest times, who sat next to you while you were falling apart and feeling nothing but love and pride for who you all became. 

No awkward catch-up. No explaining yourself. Just instant recognition. Like no time had passed at all. That’s rare. And it doesn’t happen by accident.

Phyllis built that. On purpose. Over decades.

There was a period in high school where I was going through some darkness, I really didn’t want to keep going, so I started coming twice a week. Not because anyone told me to. Because I just couldn’t stay away. That office was the only place I felt held. The only place I wasn’t performing. And Phyllis reminded me of that at the party.

She also had this way of knowing she couldn’t do it alone. She had co-facilitators like , (love you Brandi) who called us Queens and meant it. Called us on our s**t sometimes. And as we got older, she’d invite the senior girls to become peer co-facilitators to give back the way we had been taken care of. 

Some girls stayed 5, 6, 7 years. Not because they had to. Because that room gave them something they couldn’t find anywhere else.

I think about that a lot in my own work now. The reason people heal isn’t always the technique or the protocol. It’s whether they feel safe enough to actually let something in. Phyllis understood that before it was trendy. She was doing nervous system work, attachment work, identity work, long before anyone was calling it that. 

I gave a speech last night and what I kept coming back to was this: healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in relationship. In rooms where someone believes in you before you can do it yourself. And when you find a person, a space, a community that truly holds you, you don’t forget it. Ever.

I am now honored to be able to give that space to others and I do not take it lightly, at all. I am grateful for this path and to share it with the ones who seek it.

Last night reminded me of the special moments, care, and rituals that make a group safe and one of a kind. I’m bringing that back with me, pouring that care into my groups.

Thanks Phyllis🤍

your body is not randomly failing you.

the symptoms that show up right before something big, right before you’re asked to be seen, right before you have to show up fully —>they have logic to them.

Nervous system logic.

getting honest about that (without blame, without shame) changed everything for me. and i watch it change things for the people i work with too.

i wrote about this in depth this week, including a recent example from my own life.

And I don’t mean that as a callout. I mean it as the most thing I can say to you right now.

Because most of the time you’re trying to heal the same way you do everything else.
->endlessly searching for the next thing at midnight.
->Tracking every symptom.
->Pushing through.
_>Optimizing.
->Trying harder.

That’s not healing. That’s the nervous system doing what it’s always done -> surviving.

Real healing asks something different of you. It asks you to slow down before you feel ready to. To stop treating your body like a problem to be solved and start listening to what it’s actually saying.

Your symptoms didn’t show up randomly. They showed up because something in your system needed you to pay attention. And the way through isn’t more effort. It’s a different kind of attention entirely.

Less monitoring. More presence.
Less fixing. More listening.
Less white-knuckling. More trust.

That shift -> from surviving to actually being safe -> is where healing starts to happen.

If this landed, save it for the days when you forget.

Keep healing with grace 🤍

You’ve spent years trying everything to feel better. And still can’t drop the ball for a single day.

Can’t skip the routine.
Can’t eat the wrong thing.
Can’t push too hard or rest too long or say yes to the wrong plan.

Not because you’re being dramatic but because you’ve learned what happens when you do.

☀️I want you to know there’s more to your life than managing.
I want you to know what it feels like to go about your day focusing on your kids, your partner, your career, the art in front of you or the beautiful sunset…. Instead of your pain or illness.

Every treatment you’ve tried was aimed at your symptoms. The output. But if nobody has addressed the nervous system pattern that keeps generating them, you will spend your entire life managing the fire without anyone touching the match.

The nervous system learned this pattern. The nervous system can unlearn it. That’s the layer we work at inside my signature program, the Mind-Body Healing Method.

I’ve been a somatic based therapist for over a decade. I love this work. And I there’s also a missing piece:

We’re teaching clients to be with their symptoms. To track them, witness them, breathe into them. And that’s valuable. I’m not dismissing it.

But pain neuroscience research is showing us a whole new world on top of that: for neuroplastic symptoms, the brain doesn’t just need presence. It needs a safety signal. It needs to learn that the sensation isn’t dangerous so it can stop producing it.

Not “tolerate it better.” Stop producing it.

Somatic awareness is a beautiful foundation. But if the conclusion is always “I can be with this” and never “this is safe, and my brain can let it go,” we may be reinforcing the exact neural pathways we’re trying to change.

I wrote a whole behind the scenes approach to this because I want all therapist/coaches to understand this!

I said no to my ex-husband.

and I want to be clear about what that actually opened up, because it wasn’t just “a better relationship.”

it was the ability to make my own decisions. to live on my own terms. to stop performing a version of myself that was exhausting to maintain. and eventually, to meet a partner who matches the real me, not the me I’d built to be acceptable.

but here’s what I didn’t understand at the time:
that no was a nervous system act.
…. And I didn’t truly realize it at the time until I look back.

My body was telling me NO for me for a long time before I took the action
- bed bound fatigue
-gut issues
- histamine reactions
-chronic pain
-migraines
Just to name a few.

every yes we give to something that’s actually a no for us, the relationship that shrinks us, the job we stay in too long, the dynamic where we make ourselves smaller to keep the peace, tells our nervous system something.

it says: your real desires don’t matter here. you are not safe to be yourself here.

do that on repeat for years and the body starts to reflect it. the symptoms that don’t make sense on a scan. the exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. the anxiety that lives in your chest even when everything looks fine on paper.

this is the layer most nervous system work never gets to.
and it’s exactly what we’re going into inside my new small mind-body group. not just regulation tools. the actual identity work underneath. who you’ve been performing as, what your body has been protecting you from, and what becomes possible when you stop.

6 spots. 4 are taken. We start April 21

I’m keeping it small on purpose. this work needs space and it needs support, because you cannot think your way through the layer I’m talking about. you need a container to do it in. waiting until you feel “ready” is just the nervous system keeping you exactly where it thinks you’re safe.

DM me LET’S GO if you want to see if it’s a fit.
