WE HAVE MOVED.

Now that our members have joined us for the open house, the cat is officially out of the bag and we can finally share it openly.

Nurtured Soul Studios has moved into a smaller, more intimate space. Yes, my home. This new chapter is lovingly called The Holding Room by Nurtured Soul Studios.

This shift was made with deep intention. The Holding Room allows us to gather in a way that feels quieter, safer, and more connected. Classes are now capped at 10 students so there is more room for presence, breath, and being truly seen.

We also now have a dedicated therapy room, separate from The Holding Room, which means yoga therapy sessions can happen privately while classes are still taking place. This was important to me as I continue to honor both the group experience and the depth of one on one healing work.

This next season is about depth over scale. Less doing. More feeling. More intentional movement. More nervous system care. The kind of work that happens when the space itself feels held.

This is still Nurtured Soul Studios. Same heart. Same values. Same commitment to your healing. Just a different container that supports sustainability, intimacy, and the work that matters most to me and to this community.

Thank you for trusting me through this transition. Thank you for walking this path with me.

With so much love,
Rachel

Stop waiting for a "sign" to feel better. This is it. 🚩

You’ll drop $20 on drive thru that leaves you dehydrated or a streaming service you don’t even watch, and you’re still "thinking about" fixing your nervous system?

Make it make sense.

I’m an Integrated Health Professional, and I’m making this a total no-brainer for you. If you’re walking around with cPTSD, anxiety, addiction recovery, or a chronic illness flare-up that feels like a full-time job, we need to talk.

You can start Yoga Therapy right now for only $20.26. That’s it.

Whether you want to see me in person or via telehealth, we’re going to get to work on moving that trauma out of your tissues and getting your brain back online. No more "just surviving." We’re doing the deep, somatic work to help you actually inhabit your body again.

Since this is actual, integrated healthcare: I accept HSA and FSA. 💳

Stop letting those pre-tax dollars sit there doing nothing. Use them to heal. Your insurance literally wants you to spend this money on things that make you functional.

* Individual seat: $20.26
* Couples seat: $40.52
* Results: Priceless (and much better than another year of being dysregulated).

Stop saying it’s “just yoga” or “im not flexible enough.”🧘‍♀️🔥

I’m an Integrated Health Professional , and if you think we’re just sitting around chanting "om" while your life feels like a dumpster fire, you’ve got the wrong house.

People don’t find their way to me because they’re flexible. They find me because they’re exhausted and at their last straw.

They come in carrying the heavy, jagged stuff that talk therapy sometimes can’t touch: cPTSD, the aftermath of DV and sexual violence, the hollowed-out feeling of depression, or the constant "itch" of addiction.

They come in with bodies that feel like enemies, inflamed by chronic illness and locked in a permanent state of fight or flight.

The Reality Check

When you’ve survived hell, your brain might know you’re safe, and your body is still back there fighting the war. That’s why you’re anxious. That’s why you can’t sleep. That’s why your "unexplained" chronic pain is screaming.

In this space, we stop talking and start doing:

* We don’t "clear the mind", we regulate the nervous system so you can actually inhabit your skin again.

* We reclaim the territory that trauma tried to burn down.

* We move the energy that’s been stuck in your tissues since the day you had to "just get through it."

The Exit Vibe

You don’t leave my session feeling "zen." You leave feeling solid. You leave with a body that feels like a home instead of a cage. Whether it’s managing a flare-up or finally silencing the hyper-vigilance, we are doing the deep, dirty work of integration.

The trauma happened. The illness is real. It doesn't get to own you anymore.

Ready to stop performing and start healing?

If you’re done with the "love and light" BS and ready to actually re-wire how you show up in your own body, let’s get to work.

I am still riding the birthday high and I want to bring you with me. My yoga therapy birthday rate is still open to individuals and couples and it feels right to keep giving while my heart is this full.

The full 10 week program is $2222 (individual) and $4444 (couples). Birthday rate is $1111 (individual) ($2222 couples). Half off. Big energy. Big healing. Same support. Same depth. Same magic. Nothing cut.

You get me in your corner. Studio access.
Pocket therapist support on Telegram.
Balance Test access so we can track the real shifts in your system.

If your chest feels tight. If your anxiety hums all day. If your trauma patterns flare when life gets loud. This work gives your body a way out. Breath. Movement. Nervous system science. Somatic truth.

This rate is open for a few people who feel ready for a reset that actually sticks.

If your gut is whispering yes, text me.
I would love to walk this next round of healing with you.

Ladies, do you have Friday night plans?

No, perfect…

Grab a coffee, tea, or your favorite glass of wine. Settle in by the fireplace with your blanket and slippers.

Join us in the studio or stay cozy at home starting 1/2/2026 through 3/6/2026.

Either way, you are invited.

A soft space for women of a certain age to sit together, breathe together, laugh at life together, and feel supported while we grow and heal at the same time.

You will learn what is actually happening in midlife and how to live with more freedom instead of feeling strapped by more information, more pressure, or more rules.

If you want community, conversation, and a place where your midlife shift finally feels understood, come join us.

Picture of City and I for visibility. :) Drop your favorite animal pic (or emoji) if you want details!!!

GRATEFUL!!

No long history lesson needed. Not too long ago I was a mess with a mission and a dream that felt too big for the body I lived in. Then you walked into my world. Some of you stepped onto a mat with me years ago. Some of you trusted me with your trauma, your nervous systems, your stories that weighed more than your backpacks. Some of you are brand new and already changing the energy of the space just by showing up. And some of you are future warriors I have not met yet, but I already feel you in my bones.

You are the reason this work breathes.

You are the reason my studio lights turn on at 5 AM and my laptop stays open at midnight.

You are the reason I keep studying, keep growing, keep sharpening my craft so that every session, every class, every program holds you the way you deserve to be held.

Your courage to heal is the greatest honor of my life. Your trust is something I treat like sacred science. Your presence in my world is a gift that I will never take lightly.

To my past students who helped build this foundation.
To my current students who shape my work in real time.
To my future students who will walk through my doors when life burns a little too hot.

Thank you. For choosing me. For choosing yourself. For choosing healing.

I love you more than my morning coffee and my highlighters combined. And that says a lot.

With love & light,
Rachel

Holiday chaos is coming and your nervous system already knows it. Start now or get steamrolled later. Your choice.

If your family drains you
If drama spikes your anxiety
If you usually white knuckle the whole season

Yoga therapy with me will get your system calm before the madness hits. I have openings. Let’s get you regulated so you do not spiral by mid December.

Studio PSA

Over the past few weeks my mental health has taken some hard hits. The demands of grad school, financial pressure, running the studio, and trying to hold everything together have pushed my system into red alert. I have been listening to my body. I have been trying to push through the panic. I have been doing everything I can to stay upright. My nervous system finally made the call for me.

For now, weekday morning classes are paused. Evening classes stay the same. Saturday mornings stay the same. This is not a pity party. This is me honoring the truth of what my system can handle until I regain my power.

This choice was not easy. Many of you count on morning classes. I care deeply about consistency, quality, and integrity, and I pushed myself past my own limits trying to keep it all going. To continue showing up with the level of care I expect of myself, I need to tend to my mental health and stabilize my system.

The studio is my heart. Every one of you matters to me. Your compassion and patience have kept me steady during a season that has challenged me on every level. I am working to rebuild my capacity so I can return to a sustainable rhythm with the support I need.

A student replied to my email with this message, and it hit me right in the soul:

“I am proud of you for taking care of yourself and being so vulnerable in the process. You are being a role model to every student to make their wellbeing their number one priority which is what the studio is about. I am so glad you are nurturing your own soul. I am really looking forward to Barre.”

This is the reminder I needed. Community is built on honesty, boundaries, and real care, not perfection.

More updates will come as I steady myself and rebuild. Thank you for staying with me through the messy middle. This season is heavy. This community makes it lighter.

With love & light,
Rachel

YOGA THERAPY SPOTS OPEN!!!

Yoga therapy is open for enrollment. Three individual spots. Two couples spots. When they fill they fill.

Read some of the many reviews in the reel!

If you feel stretched thin, scattered, wired, flat, numb, angry, sad, overwhelmed, checked out, or like your body is throwing tantrums that your mind cannot name, yoga therapy is built for that exact season. Your nervous system is not broken. It is overworked. It is running too many tabs at once and your bandwidth is cooked.

Two to three weeks inside a 10 week container and you already feel the shift. Your breath gets deeper without effort. Your sleep steadies. Your mood stops yo yoing. Your mind stops spiraling. Your body stops firing off alarms at every inconvenience. You respond instead of react. You feel more grounded. More steady. More like yourself.

Perfect timing before the holidays roll in loud and chaotic. Regulate now so the season does not hijack your system later.

I accept HSA and FSA so you can use what you already have set aside to support the healing your body and mind have been begging for.

In person or Telehealth. Certified yoga therapist for five years. Masters in yoga therapy in progress. Ten week commitment because real change needs time and consistency.

Three individual spots. Two couples spots. If you want one, grab it before they are gone.

If you see yourself in part or even in totality of my why, YT is for you! I have spent years in therapy, yoga, and trying to put the pieces together. Nothing clicked until 5 years ago when I began my journey to become a yoga therapist. Now seeking my masters in yoga therapy, my decades of trauma, and ability to hold space like a mother effer, I’m really gifted at this!!! Schedule time with me to learn more! I have room for 4 clients and 2 couples!!! Either in person or online.
