So… I know we don’t know each other. But I might know you a little bit.

I bet the little things feel big and challenging. Leaving the house. Going to bed at a reasonable hour. Anything executive function.

I bet you’ve graduated from talk therapy. You’re painfully self aware and know what you need to do, but can’t quite get there.

I bet you’re neurodivergent, maybe just finding out. But also you’re looking back at memories of little you and lovingly going: “oh yeah duh!”

I bet you have chronic pain or illness that swirls with anxiety, shame and grief.

And I bet you have a nervous nervous system. It’s hard to feel safe and turn your hypervigilance off. You feel freezy, stuck, between productivity and rest. You can’t do either.

Hi, I’m Jess. And I have something that might help.

Technically, it’s called an SSP Group.

But really, it’s a magical healing container filled with “omg it’s not just me thank gawd” medicine and healing that actually helps.

SSP Groups are for therapy dropouts who need help being with their bodies and shifting their nervous systems from everything-is-bad-all-of-the-time to sometimes-things-are-okay-actually. Yes, even with *gestures around at the polycrisis*.

They’re for people who smell their bagel burning and their nervous system calls the fire department.

And they’re especially for neurodivergent, q***r and chronic pain spoonies and tender hearted and brilliant folks.

The virtual group setting (4-6 folks) is inclusive, warm and autonomy-centered, and adds another layer to the healing.

Think a group might be for you? My next group starts March 4—enrollment closes soon. Apply via the link in bio and we can chat. 🫶

Nervous system healing often assumes a lot of things that aren’t true for many of us. Swipe to see what I actually believe — and the kind of healing that happens in an SSP Group.

Groups starting 3/4 and 4/6. Link in bio to apply. 🫶🌈✨

Off the cuff rant about “regulation” and Polyvagal Theory.

Regulation is part of a range of nervous system responses!

Often, the world decides how regulated we can be. Regulation and nervous system resilience are not solely an inside job.

We need regulation as much as we need fight and flight and freeze and collapse.

It’s all relative to the moment we are in!

Feel free to share your thoughts if you listened to the whole thing. There’s so much more to say and ask. 🤓

There’s a new wave of discourse about Polyvagal Theory. But some of us have been q***ring it for a long time.🌈

Full post on my blog and Part 2 coming soon!

And if this approach to nervous system healing resonates — my last two Spring SSP Groups are enrolling now. Link in bio to join us. 🫶🎶🦋

If you’ve gotten in trouble for “intellectualizing” or “storytelling” or “meaning making” (boo! hiss! 👻 🐈‍⬛) during a somatic session, I am the practitioner for you!!!

I’ll invite you to notice your body and nervous system. But!!

A) Your head is part of your body! Thoughts are welcome.

B) I work with neurodivergent folks. We’re often brainy, brilliant word weavers. We yap!

This is more than allowed! I will follow your threads. I will be RIGHT THERE. You won’t get in trouble for talking in session with me.

A wonderful way to get a sense of somatic work (without the pressure to do constant report-outs about “wHeRe yOu FeEL ThAt iN yOuR bOdY?”) . . .

Join an SSP Group!

Yapping is welcome, quiet is welcome, you and your neurodivergent nervous system are welcome!

Just 2 SSP Groups are enrolling this Spring! That’s it until Fall, and there are only 9 spaces left.

Come join us for a gentle virtual journey with baby steps into somatic healing that will probably be easier than you think.

If this resonates, an SSP Group is probably for you! And if you aren’t sure, get in touch!

I offer a free connection call before each group and it’s a great way to feel me out and learn more about whether or not an SSP Group is the right fit for your body, life and nervous system.

Is an SSP group right for you? Here are 5 themes I hear again and again from people who find their way to this work. You might recognize yourself in one of them. 💞

If something lands — if you feel a little seen — maybe it’s your sign to join us for this gentle healing experience.

Two groups are open right now, the only ones until Fall. Link in bio to apply or learn more. 🎧💗

Developmental trauma survivors hold a question that we can’t quite let go of.

It’s the one we worry other people are wondering about us.

Was it really that bad?

Which is another way of asking: Was it bad enough?

People ask this before they join an SSP Group. They want to know if what happened to them was bad enough to warrant something like the SSP.

They also want to know if it’s too big. Too bad. If they are — and this is the technical term, though you won’t find it in the DSM-5 — “too fu**ed up.”

They wonder: how are you supposed to tend to relational wounds that pretzeled and fawned your nervous system... in a group space? Is it really trauma-informed? How is it not super triggering?

These are important questions.

And listen — this is a little cheesy, but there is a magic that happens in an SSP Group.

So much belongs. You are not too big or too small. What happened to you is held tenderly and with deep respect. There is no proving. There is a lot of sharing — deep thoughts, big realizations, waves of grief. But it’s not all heavy and hard. We steward glimmers and friendly connection, too.

This Spring, I’m holding 2 SSP Groups — the last ones until Fall.

If you’ve been on the fence, and you’re wondering if this might be your time — apply and book a connection call. I’d love to talk. 🫶

We meet for 13 weeks of:
• Listening to the healing playlist
• Connecting with other people who get it
• Gathering somatic skills and nervous system practices you can use in your day-to-day

about soft path healing

Following a career in social work and after 700 hours of bodywork education that felt too narrow and judgmental to meet clients in post-traumatic states, I felt called to cultivate a practice for clients who have lived through traumatic events. In my own healing experience, I have learned that being with the body is a catalyst for healing.

Soft Path Healing is a space for those who have experienced trauma - you will be held gently, respectfully, and compassionately in every step of your healing journey. As both a client and a practitioner of this work, I am honored to be part of your process. Dissociation, flight or freeze instincts, BIG feelings and your story (keyword: yours) are all welcome here - there is space for you and your many layers.

I am a gentle healing presence, ready to sit with whatever is alive in you.

I believe in the wisdom of your body and all of the ways you have survived.
