talk about deep feelers…

this back to school season’s got me feeling some kind of way. as much as i look forward to having more routine, id be lying if i said i wont miss these slower days with less on the schedule.

and this subtle heartache really isn’t just about what’s on the calendar. it’s also the acknowledgment that time is passing. that my kids are growing older, just as i am. that every new milestone, however exciting, also means saying goodbye to the person they used to be. who i used to be, as well. (queue john mayer stop this train 😅).

i feel it in my bones- even as a second year homeschool mother. i know each new season will require something different from me. there’s a whisper in my ear, questioning do you have what it takes? can you handle it all? can you be the home educator and mother your children need, and continue to build an impactful, profitable business- the business you dream of??

i’m grateful though, because these whispers — they were once roars. through my own somatic therapy, i’ve learned to turn the volume of my fears down, and the volume of my heart up. i trust my intuition that this path i’m on is right for me, and that i have what it takes to succeed. 💓

so if anyone else is feeling tender right now in this season of transition, know i’m right there with ya in the Deep Feelers Social Club. 🫶🏼

represent your tender heart with the new Deep Feelers tshirt- all proceeds from the Deep Feelers Campaign go to Foster Care Essentials, a nonprofit providing free essentials — clothing, diapers, school supplies, hygiene products — to families caring for children in foster and kinship care, so every child has what they need to feel steady, and every family stepping up gets support too.

finally put down the non-fiction. currently: ACOTAR series. 🧚😜 something about fiction reminds me that play is healing and that life doesn’t have to be so serious.

This is the Deep Feelers Social Club. Two hand mirrors cross at the center of the design — like tennis, but make it introspective 😉 . If you've ever visited the depths within yourself, as I’m sure many of you here have, then you know it takes real self-reflection and courage to see yourself truly. The parts you're proud of. The parts you'd rather not name out loud. The parts that are still healing.

Before I became a therapist, I worked as a Social Worker with the Department of Children and Families. I spent that time involved in the lives of children in foster care, sitting with families in some of their hardest moments and witnessing what it takes to hold a child through instability. That experience left a permanent mark on me. It quite literally shaped the direction of my entire career, leading me toward specializing in complex trauma and the kind of deep, embodied healing work I do with clients today.

So this fundraiser is personal. All profits from this campaign are going to Foster Care Essentials, a nonprofit that provides essentials, at no charge, to families caring for children in foster and kinship care. Clothing, toys, diapers, school supplies, personal hygiene products, the things a child needs to feel steady and cared for during a time that is anything but. Their vision is simple and important: every child in foster and kinship care deserves access to what they need to thrive, and every family stepping up to care for them deserves support in creating a safe, nurturing home.

It’s been a few days since my first ever Rolfing experience but so far, so good! I feel much better in my body and haven’t experienced any of the pain that brought me in. It was mostly a very gentle experience though there were a few moments of intensity. Would I go back? Absolutely. Check out Syzygy Rolfing, LLC if you’re local!

it’s been heavy week, y’all. the SKIES?! i’m a sensitive gal and feel very affected by the seasons, the weather, the skies etc so i was def feeling some kind of way. prayers for canada. 🫶🏼😓

i think im also just missing how life used to be before AI and tech took over. i miss random human interactions throughout the day that don’t happen with Amazon delivery and self check outs. people of all ages, staring into phones (myself of course as well). i think we’re all just craving more human connection. i know i am.

to share a moment of joy- here’s me recently. on a SUP board and in my element. i feel so happy and at peace when i get out on a board and explore life from a different perspective. anyone been following me since SUP yoga teaching days? what a time! 😌✨

anyway, if things feel heavy for you know that you’re not alone- we’re in it together. following contraction will be an expansion, and when it comes I will be ready for it. 💕

(are single photos on IG even a thing anymore? idk but we’re giving it a try! 🤪)

You know the kind of tiredness that doesn’t go away with sleep.

The kind where you can take the vacation, get the eight hours, do everything “right” and your body still won’t let go. You’re still braced, waiting for the next thing.

This isn’t a problem you can will or optimize yourself out of. It’s what happens when your nervous system carries more than it was ever meant to carry, for longer than it was ever meant to carry it, and without enough recovery in between.

A lot of the women I work with are high-achieving, capable, the ones everyone else leans on — and privately running on empty. In somatic work, we help your nervous system slowly learn that it’s actually safe to come down off high alert.

If any of these stories sound familiar, you don’t have to keep carrying them alone.

Somatic therapy doesn’t ask you to think your way out of shame. It works with your nervous system directly, so the old bracing can finally soften, and the parts of you that learned to hide can be met instead.

If you’re ready to stop arguing with the story and start coming home to your body, I’d love to work with you.

Soliciting client reviews as a therapist is a bit of a gray area due to confidentiality and other legal and ethical concerns. When a former client of mine offered to write a review and sent this one over (paraphrased here, and shared with permission) it just warmed my heart and filled me with gratitude for getting to witness and take part in these kinds of transformations!

Slowing down isn’t the same as falling behind. It might actually be the thing that gets you back to yourself.

This fall I’m teaching somatic yoga at the Relax and Restore Retreat, hosted by my friend Kristin Gauthier of Kristin Gauthier MSN RN Women's Health Integrative Practitioner.

Imagine having a few days to unwind what’s been held too tight, and remember what it feels like to move from a place of trust instead of pushing and overriding, putting everyone’s needs before your own.

There’s one room left. It can be private, or shared as a double if you want to bring someone with you.

I’m looking forward to both teaching and enjoying this retreat as a participant myself! If this resonates, DM me SLOW and I’ll send ya the link! 🌸

Many women I’ve worked with over the years come to therapy at a crossroads-

They’re highly self-aware, yet still stuck in the very loops they long to break free from.

If you’ve ever wondered why self-awareness doesn’t always lead to lasting change- or why you can clearly understand your patterns but still feel stuck in them- you’re not alone.

Reaching insight and understanding often does take a lot of work. It can be an important step on the road to creating a more fulfilling, balanced, and pleasurable life, ~and~ often it’s not enough, especially in the context of trauma and stress recovery.

As somatic therapies have started to become more mainstream over the last several years, a question I often hear is:

What’s the difference between somatic therapy and talk therapy?

I recently wrote a blog exploring this very question, especially through the lens of trauma, stress, and nervous system regulation. In it, I share how both talk therapy and somatic therapy can each be supportive, where their limits can show up, and why working with the body can be an important part of healing- particularly when you’ve spent a long time living in survival mode.

If you’re curious, you can read the full post here-
https://feltsense.co/blog/somatic-therapy-vs-talk-therapy

As always, there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy.

I also like to emphasize that these approaches aren’t mutually exclusive. Somatic therapy is not a quick fix or a single technique. Rather, it’s a gradual, personalized process that meets your nervous system where it’s at.

While the body is central to the work, elements of traditional talk therapy are often woven in as needed, depending on your history, capacity, and goals.

Healing from chronic stress or trauma takes time, and effective therapy is individualized, adapting as you do.

I do currently have a few spots open and would be happy to hear from you if you're interested in supporting your nervous system through somatic therapy/Somatic Experiencing!
