Our Breathing Body: Breathing Practices to Attune to Your Nervous System and Come Back to Your Center
Our breath is a window into our bodily state (nervous system state) and is also the fastest way to modulate our bodily state and intervene at the physiological level. By changing our physiology, the breath has the power to affect our nervous system state and the emerging feelings, emotions, behaviors, and thoughts.
Burnout and the Radical Path of Non-Abandonment of Self
It takes an enormous amount of courage and vulnerability to talk about and get curious about burnout. At its core, burnout actually reflects a very important set of primal human needs and wishes - safety, belonging, and dignity. Burnout is simply a response to overwhelming life experiences.

Tools for Self-Renewal, Manifesting and Creating Space
As we find ourselves midway through the year, it's a chance to realign with our intentions, aspirations, and desires.

Somatic strategies for staying centered these holidays
The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and family gatherings. However, it can also be a time of stress, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions. If you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling to stay calm during the holiday season, somatic based practices and therapies may be able to help you feel more grounded, centered and peaceful through whatever this season brings you.
‘Soma’ is a Greek word for ‘the living body known from within’, or known to the Self. This ‘knowing’ signifies wholeness. Somatic therapy is an experiential approach towards mindbody integration and can assist you to find calm and peace in challenging moments.
