TESTIMONIALS

"I recently had a Spinal Energetics session with Oliviah and was blown away by the amount of clarity, relief, and inner-peace that I felt afterwards. She held such a warm, gentle space, yet the session was very powerful and emotive for me. I have been struggling heavily with grief and finally felt the dark cloud lift from over my body. I can't wait for my next session. I recommend Oliviah's services to anyone seeking to feel like themselves again. "

Spinal Energetics isn’t about creating chaos.

It’s about gently guiding what’s been held for years-
the tension, the emotions, the beliefs—to rise to the surface, when they’re ready.

So you can finally feel them, free them, and return home to yourself, to your body, and to your truth.

People-pleasing is often a protective strategy rooted in early experiences where love, safety, or belonging felt conditional. As children, many of us learned that being agreeable, of service, and self-sacrificing kept us connected to caregivers, while expressing needs, setting boundaries, or showing anger led to rejection, punishment, or emotional neglect. To stay safe, we suppressed our anger and disconnected from our needs and authentic voice.

Over time, this survival pattern becomes ingrained—leading us to chronically prioritize others, avoid conflict, and feel guilt or fear when trying to advocate for ourselves. But that suppressed anger doesn’t just go away—it lives in the body. It commonly shows up as back pain, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, jaw clenching, and shoulder tension. Yes…even years later as adults.

Healing begins when we recognize people-pleasing not as a flaw, but as a nervous system response—and when we create safety to feel and process what’s been buried, and come home to our true, empowered self.

If this resonates, my page is for you 💜

Everyone needs nervous system care…

Because the truth is, when strong emotions and experiences go unprocessed, our nervous system doesn’t recognize that the threat or pain is over. Instead, it stays mobilized—on alert—responding to present-day situations through the lens of past experiences. This can look like chronic tension, anxiety, reactivity, shutdown, or difficulty being present and connected.

Healing happens when we create the right conditions for the body to complete what was once interrupted. This means allowing the stress response to move through and discharge in a supported and contained way—so the system can return to safety, regulation, and connection.

Stored anger and rage are very common expressions of incomplete survival responses.

In Level 2 of Spinal Energetics, we begin working more directly with the organs and deeper systems of the body that store these unresolved emotional charges. This work supports the body in entering a primal, innate state of unwinding, where old tension and energy patterns can finally release.

This isn’t about forcing or fixing. It’s about honoring the body’s intelligence and allowing it to come back into homeostasis at its own pace.

If you’re ready to release what’s been stored deep within, reconnect with your truth and body’s wisdom, and reclaim a sense of vitality and grounded ease—visit my website or comment “GUIDE” to learn more.

As always, take what works for you and your nervous system & leave the rest 🤍

Everyone deserves to understand their nervous system — and how to gently guide themselves back into safety and regulation. It’s one of the most empowering things you can learn.

Please share this with anyone who’d benefit, and stay tuned for more tools to support your nervous system healing.

To the ones who’ve been told they care too much…

You’ve likely heard it as a criticism — “You’re too sensitive.”
“You care too much.”

As if your deep empathy, compassion, and attunement to others were flaws to be fixed.

But what if your sensitivity and empathy are your superpowers?

You feel deeply because you love deeply.
You care because you’re connected.
And your empathy — it’s not a weakness, it’s a gift the world desperately needs.

But when you grow up with this kind of tenderness in a world that doesn’t know how to honor it, it can feel overwhelming.
Like your emotions are too big, your reactions too much, your presence too intense.

You may have never been given the support, co-regulation and tools to feel safely. So those big emotions began to harbor in your body, nervous system and energetic field.

I so wish we could all go back in time and teach our younger selves how to process emotions in healthy ways. Although we can’t do that, we can learn now as adults, and reparent our younger parts too.

And in case no one has told you- there’s nothing wrong with how deeply you feel.
You don’t need to shrink your sensitivity — you just need to learn how to hold it.
To let emotions move and flow through your body like energy was always meant to.
To express what’s true, instead of bottling it up.

Because when you learn to feel without fear, to let emotion rise and release rather then suppressing or getting trapped in the stories of the mind— your body becomes a vessel of expression.

This is where emotional freedom lives.
Not in avoiding your sensitivity, but in reclaiming it. Honoring it. Letting it guide you home.

You don’t care too much.
You just feel in a world that’s forgotten how.
And that is medicine.

The heart space is one of the most protected areas of the body—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

In response to emotional wounding, prolonged stress, or trauma, the body often creates tension and bracing in the field and fascia surrounding the chest, upper back, and diaphragm. This results in rigidity around the heart center—both front and back—and often leads to a restriction in breath flow.

When the body braces to protect the heart, the breath becomes shallow, limited, or held. This is part of the nervous system’s survival response, signaling the body to remain hypervigilant and guarded. Over time, this protective holding pattern can become the default state, shaping our posture as well (often rounding of the upper back and shoulders).

Unwinding these patterns requires presence, safety, and co-regulated support. Through somatic and nervous system-focused work, we help the system recognize that it is safe now—that the armor is no longer needed.

This softening allows for:
– Emotional and physiological release
– Improved breath flow
– Increased vagal tone and heart-brain communication
– Restored energetic and emotional connection in the heart space

This is how the body begins to unwind, rewire, and reconnect to aliveness.

Healing is actionable. We must prove to our nervous system that there can be different outcomes. Outcomes of safety, connection, belonging, love, and compassion.

And- even outcomes where we do feel judged and misunderstood, while now having the resources to know truth and to hold ourselves through with the love and compassion that we’ve always deserved.

#soothewellness #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildwork #spinalenergetics

A message that feels resonant right now 🪷

With that said, part of the healing process is learning to accept that some people—especially the ones we hoped would—may never be able to offer the love, care, celebration and support we long for. And as painful as that is, it creates space for something new: the knowing that there are people in this world you haven’t even met yet who will love and support you in ways you’ve only ever dreamed of.

Always cheering you on ❤️

While avoidance may feel protective, it ultimately intensifies the very suffering you’re trying to escape. What isn’t expressed doesn’t disappear — it gets stored in your body, nervous system, and energetic field, subtly — or not so subtly — shaping your mood, thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and capacity for connection and joy. The weight of what’s unspoken or unfelt doesn’t go away; it lingers beneath the surface, influencing everything.

This is why, when you finally allow yourself to feel — whether through a deep cry, somatic work, expressing long-held truth, or simply letting emotion move through — there’s often a profound and unexpected sense of relief.

Bottling up emotions consumes a tremendous amount of energy. In the moment of release, your body and nervous system soften; there’s nothing left to brace against. Your system begins to regulate, your energy starts to flow again, and you return to yourself.

True freedom doesn’t come from avoiding hard emotions — it comes from meeting them with compassion and letting them move through you rather than consume you.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #healingjourney #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildwork

And the path forward?

It requires that you honor all of the brilliant ways that your body, mind, and nervous system protected you, and, that you recognize that YOU are not your coping strategies.

What you don’t express and process, your body will express in way of nervous system dysregulation, unexplained symptoms, pain, and emotional overwhelm.

This is why somatic and nervous system focused work is so important. You deserve to feel held, seen, and supported as you tend to all that’s been stored within.

I see this all the time.

People with big hearts and big missions.
Here to serve, to speak their truth, and to share their heart & wisdom with the world.

They try so hard to live in alignment with their purpose—to feel confident and successful in sharing their mission.

But sometimes, they find themselves pushing, striving, pouring everything out… yet nothing seems to move forward.

And then the questions come:
“Am I on the right path? Am I doing this right? What am I missing? Am I even good enough?”

And when we look deeper, we see the truth…
They’ve been abandoning themselves.
Neglecting their own needs in the pursuit of their mission.

Their relationships are suffering. They feel disconnected—from others, and from themselves.
They feel isolated. Their inner child parts are hurting.
They’ve forgotten how to play.
Their nervous system is completely dysregulated, and they’re burnt out.

And this is where I hold their hand and say:
You are what needs your attention right now.

That is part of your mission.
You can’t sustainably serve from an empty cup.
You have to put yourself first.

So for however long it takes, your job is to choose YOU. To nourish yourself. That is your soul work. That is the only way to serve, to hold space, and to share your gifts in a sustainable way.

So if this resonates… maybe it’s you.
Maybe you are the one calling out for your love, your care, your compassion, your curiosity.

Your nervous system.
Your connection to yourself and to others.
Your ability to love life again.
It starts with you.

“That’s just who I am” ➡️ That’s who you had to become to survive.

Many of the behaviors we think are our personality are actually survival strategies shaped by trauma, chronic stress, and a dysregulated nervous system.

Traits like being hyper independent, emotionally distant, avoidant, reactive, people-pleasing, clingy, co-dependent, or always needing to stay busy, often form in response to environments and situations where we didn’t feel safe, seen, or supported.

We adapt to survive—and over time, we come to believe those adaptations are just who we are. But they’re not- they’re protection.

When we begin to heal our nervous system, we create the safety and capacity to peel back those layers. That’s when we start to see which parts of us are rooted in fear and survival—and which are our true essence.

Healing reveals the difference between who we became to survive and who we really are at our core.

#soothewellness #nervoussystemhealing #nervousystem #somatics #innerchildwork

One of the most beautiful aspects of Spinal Energetics is that it supports us in reconnecting with our body’s innate healing intelligence — the same wisdom that heals a cut, regulates our breath, blood pressure, and menstrual cycle. It’s the quiet force that prompts us to stretch in a certain way upon waking, and move instinctively throughout the day.

When we reconnect to this internal guidance system, we deepen the connection between mind, body, energy, and soul. This connection allows us to tap into the unwinding and healing process from within — not just during sessions, but in everyday life.

The ultimate goal of this work isn’t dependency on me as a practitioner — it’s for my clients to remember their own capacity to heal, to process emotions, and to follow their body’s natural impulse to move, express, reconnect, and release.

One of the most rewarding parts of this work is witnessing my clients come home to themselves — noticing them start to process and regulate on their own, in a way that’s primal, intuitive, and true.

We were all born with this ability. But over time, most of us lose connection to it. Just like animals instinctively shake after a stressful experience to release tension, humans have the same capacity. It’s not gone — just disconnected from.

Spinal Energetics helps us remember.

We often think we need to learn something new to regulate or “find the answer” somewhere else, when it’s really about remembering, reconnecting, and trusting our own innate ability to heal and self-regulate. Chronic stress & trauma may disconnect us, though the wisdom always lives within.

Here are 10 ways you may naturally self-regulate:

🌀Deep Sighs or Exhales
When you sigh or take a deep exhale, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system (the rest-and-digest), signaling your body to ease stress and slow down.

🌀 Fidgeting, Bouncing, or Tapping
Repetitive movements help discharge excess energy, self-soothe, and ease nervous tension.

🌀 Humming, Singing, or Talking to Yourself
Expression alone is powerful & the vibrations of your voice activate your vagus nerve — a major highway for relaxation signals — and ease your nervous system’s stress response.

🌀 Walking or Stretching
Movement increases circulation and helps move stress hormones (like adrenaline and norepinephrine) out of your body, while reducing muscle tension.

🌀 Hugging, Petting an Animal, Cuddling
Physical connection stimulates oxytocin (the bonding and calmness hormone) and signals safety to your nervous system, reducing its alarm response.

🌀 Being in Nature & Getting Fresh Air
Breathing in fresh air, and connecting with nature helps calm an overactive nervous system, lowers stress, and fosters a greater sense of peace and connection.

🌀 Rubbing Your Hands, Massaging Your Neck, or Touching Your Face
Gentle, comforting pressure stimulates pressure receptors under your skin, sending safety signals up to your brain to ease stress and foster relaxation.

🌀 Laughing, Crying, or Yawning
These release physical tension and stress hormones (like adrenaline and cortisol), acting as a reset for your nervous system — much like a pressure release valve.

🌀 Sipping a Warm Drink or Wrapping in a Blanket
Warmth signals safety and containment to the nervous system, triggering the relaxation response (lowered heart rate, ease in muscle tension, and slowing of stress signals).

Which one’s do you find yourself doing most often?

In level 2 of Spinal Energetics, we tap into both ancestral burdens and gifts that are carried in the body, nervous system and energy field.

The patterns, habits, and emotions that you experience, which are difficult to make sense of, may be rooted in ancestral patterns, and trauma.

This work is not about clearing or erasing memories, it’s about supporting your system in feeling, processing, and integrating what has been stored within- beyond the stories of the mind. This is why many people will cry, unwind, express anger, or tremor, without having any memory or story attached to it.

If you’re ready to begin this work together – to heal your nervous system and return to truth, ease, and vitality, please reach out.

The grief that sits heavy in your chest. The fear that shows up before anything has gone wrong. The patterns that return again and again, no matter how much inner work you’ve done—these may not have started with you.

Increasing research in epigenetics and somatic psychology reveals that unresolved trauma, grief, and emotional suppression can be inherited through generations, passed down through both behavioral modeling and biological imprinting in our nervous systems and gene expression. What your grandmother couldn’t cry, what your mother had to suppress to survive, may live on in your body, waiting for resolution.

This is why talking alone isn’t enough. Healing must involve the body, energetic field, and nervous system. It must touch what words cannot reach.

This is the power of Spinal Energetics, especially Level 2, where we begin to work more deeply with ancestral patterns and energetic imprints carried through generations. This work allows the body to release what it has held for far too long—not only for you, but for those who came before you, and those who will follow.

It is a reclamation of all that was once silenced, stored, and suppressed—and a return to wholeness, not just for you, but for your lineage.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics

Your body tells a story — through your posture, your breath, the tension you hold, the subtle movements you make, and the energy you carry. It reveals what words alone often cannot.

If you choose to work together, know that there is always space for you to share with words — but often, the deepest truths live beyond the mind and beyond the stories.

They live in the felt sense, in the language of your body and nervous system. That’s where we meet — attuning together in presence, safety, and co-regulation.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #energyhealing #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing #innerchildwork #reiki

Self-sabotage is self-protection — not just laziness or a lack of willpower. When you understand this, the shame loses it’s power. What looks like procrastination, avoidance, or shutting down is often your nervous system doing its job: protecting you from what it once learned was unsafe — whether that’s love, success, visibility, or peace.

Willpower alone won’t override a system that’s stuck in survival. If your body doesn’t feel safe, it will default to familiar patterns, even if they’re painful.

That’s why healing requires more than mindset shifts — it demands that we create safety in the body, not just force our way through with effort or discipline.

Here are 5 simple ways to begin attuning to safety:

• Prioritize moments to consciously breathe throughout the day. Exhale slowly → Longer exhales help to engage the parasympathetic nervous system.

• When you notice old patterns, name what’s happening from a place of compassion → “I notice I’m resisting this because it feels unfamiliar. It makes sense that this is coming up.”

• Soothing touch → Place a hand on your heart or belly; offer warmth and presence if that feels okay.

• Movement → Rocking, swaying, or gently shaking can discharge stress.

• Orient to the present → When you start to notice activation in your body, look around your environment . Allow your eyes to land on something pleasant or neutral. Name how it feels in your body to focus on this thing/space.

This is inspired by a recent reflection of a long-term client 🤍

What used to seem like frequent arguments over the “small stuff” were actually rooted in deeper wounds and dysregulation.

Through Spinal Energetics, Reiki, and Inner Child Embodiment, she’s healing her nervous system, rewiring old patterns, and meeting herself with compassion and clarity.

This inner work is naturally rippling into her relationships — allowing for sacred pauses where reactivity used to live, and allowing her to respond from truth, rather than defense. These heated moments are much less frequent now, and she feels even closer to her husband.

It’s an honor to witness this transformation and the way it touches every part of her life. This work doesn’t just shift individuals — it reshapes how we connect, love, and live.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildwork

It’s okay to not feel okay.

It’s also okay to feel okay and desire to feel great.

The moment we stop bypassing and overriding what our body and nervous system are communicating… we reclaim our power.

Even simply acknowledging:
“I see I’m overwhelmed. I feel it. My nervous system is signaling this to me. I notice my body tensing, my spine stiffening, a desire to curl inward”—
that awareness is the first step.

From that place, we can begin to meet the truth of what’s happening— not the story the mind tries to spin, but the reality the body is expressing.

This is where somatic and nervous system focused practices come in.

Spinal Energetics helps to unwind tension patterns held in the spine, support healthier spinal alignment, and reduce interference in the nervous system—allowing for deeper connection to self, our body, others, and life, as well as greater presence, and integration.

The spine is our central channel—part of our central nervous system. The nerves that branch from it innervate and communicate with every organ in our body.

So when we work with the spine and body to release stored tension, and to improve energetic connection and neural communication, we open the door to more ease, vitality, and more of YOU coming online.

While unexplained symptoms can have many different roots, this is one I see all the time—and it’s often overlooked.

👉Avoiding the big decision you already know you need to make.

They’re not just symptoms.
They’re signals.

Perhaps signals that your body & soul feel out of alignment. That you’ve been abandoning what you know deep down.

When you avoid a major decision—whether it’s ending a relationship, starting a new job, moving somewhere new, or finally speaking your truth—your nervous system picks up on that incongruence.

When you chronically suppress your truth and don’t honor your inner wisdom, it creates a loop of self-abandonment. And if your system no longer feels safe to trust, symptoms often get louder.

✨The moment you decide—to choose yourself, to honor your truth, to stop abandoning what you feel—your energy and inner world shift from self-abandonment to self-trust. And that changes everything.

That’s when harmony begins to return.
Not always overnight, but gradually. Softly.
Because your body finally feels you’ve got its back.

Clarity doesn’t come from overthinking.
It comes from taking the brave, aligned step that you’ve been avoiding.

Your body isn’t broken. It’s wise.

It’s asking you to finally choose you ❤️‍🩹

Tension is a protective response from the nervous system. It’s the body’s way of bracing for impact, holding in emotion, or preparing to defend against a perceived threat — whether physical or emotional.

Over time, if the underlying dysregulation is not addressed, these protective tension patterns shape our posture — becoming a physical imprint of emotional and energetic survival strategies. Rather than seeing tension as something to fix or get rid of, I invite you to start viewing it as a signal of where your body stepped in to protect you.

➡️ Here are the 4 most common spinal & postural patterns that I see in my practice and what they often reveal beyond the physical:

1. Kyphosis (rounded upper back)- A guarded heart carrying grief, shame, and emotional overwhelm.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “If I shrink and fold inward, I’ll be less vulnerable.”

2. Flat Lumbar Spine (loss of natural curve in the lower back)- A body in constant bracing — signaling long-held tension, hyper-independence, and a deep-rooted belief that it’s not safe to lean on anyone.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “If I stay rigid and self-reliant, I won’t be disappointed or let down.”

3. Neck (Dowager’s) Hump (buildup at the base of the neck)- A disconnection between heart and throat chakras holding suppressed truth, chronic burden, unspoken grief, and ancestral trauma.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “I must carry it all — my truth isn’t welcome.”

4. Collapsed Chest (sunken sternum, slumped shoulders)- A closed heart with diminished life force, shame, heartbreak, and emotional defeat.
→ Potential Protective Strategy: “If I close my heart, I won’t be hurt again.”

Your body is a living archive — a record keeper of all you’ve been through, and all your ancestors have endured.

The tension you’re feeling is not the problem. It’s the protection for what’s hurt, wounded, and vulnerable within. It’s showing you where to look, where to tend, and revealing the dysregulation beneath the surface.

Healing begins when we listen and address what’s beneath. I’m here when you’re ready 💜

What often looks like high achievement on the outside — constant productivity, always staying busy, needing to accomplish more & more — can actually be a nervous system stuck in a flight response.

For many, this drive isn’t *only* about ambition; it’s about survival. Movement becomes a way to outrun the discomfort of stillness, where unprocessed emotions like fear, grief, or shame live.

As our nervous system begins to heal, we no longer need to brace ourselves in moments of rest. Stillness, which once felt threatening, begins to feel safe. We soften into presence instead of fleeing from it.

Nervous system focused care makes it possible to stop running and finally arrive — in our breath, in our bodies, in this moment.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #energyhealing #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing #somatics #innerchildhealing

When you begin to grow and heal, especially within a family or close relationship dynamic, you start operating from a different level of awareness, emotional regulation, and freedom.

You may now set healthier boundaries, speak your truth, or no longer play roles that ask you to abandon yourself in relationship.

This new version of you often challenges the unspoken rules or patterns that others around you still live by. This illuminates where they remain unfree—meaning where they’re still holding onto survival strategies, limiting beliefs, or unhealed wounds.

The discomfort that arises is not a sign you’re doing something wrong—it’s a sign that the dynamic is changing. It’s a necessary disruption because without shaking up the old patterns, freedom—true relational freedom—can’t emerge.

And ultimately, your healing isn’t just for you. It invites (not forces) others into their own, creating the potential for more authentic connection and mutual liberation- or a dissolving of unhealthy relationships.

#soothewellness #nervoussystemhealing #innerchildhealing #somatics #traumarelease #healingjourney

You’re deeply connected to source…
but your body doesn’t feel like home.

This is one of the most common things I see in spiritual seekers who feel stuck:

You’re tuned in — to God, to your guides, to higher consciousness.
Your third eye is open.
Your crown is buzzing.
But your body feels foreign. Unsafe. Heavy. Hard to be in.

And I used to feel the same.
I was deeply connected “beyond” — but disconnected from the ground of my own being.
I thought if I just stayed in the light, I wouldn’t have to feel the heaviness inside.

But you can’t bypass your way into embodiment.
And you can’t heal what you won’t touch.

You’ve found refuge in the ethers —
because your body didn’t feel safe.
So you left — through numbing, overthinking, dissociation, or chasing the “high vibe” states.
It helped you survive.

But true healing happens when you come back in.

⸻

🔥 A gentle practice to begin coming home:

Sit or lie down.
Place one hand on your heart, the other on your low belly.
Close your eyes.
Breathe slowly.
And ask:

“Body, what do you need in this moment to feel like home?”

Wait.
Don’t rush to fix.
Just be with whatever wisdom arises — even if it’s silence or discomfort.

Maybe it’s a hug, a warm bath, connection with another heartbeat. Maybe it’s to do the deep inner work to unwind what’s been stored within.

Your body isn’t a burden.
It’s your bridge.
It’s not what you’re here to escape —
it’s where your soul came to land.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #healingjourney #energyhealing #reiki #traumarelease #nervousystemhealing #somatics #spirituality

Openness without honesty leads to self-abandonment.

It’s saying yes when your body says no. It’s staying in relationships that drain you. It’s putting others needs before your own. It’s offering love before you’ve even offered yourself safety.

If this resonates, it’s time to get radically honest about:
• Who & what truly nourishes your heart and soul
• What love actually feels like in your body
• Where you still abandon yourself in the name of keeping the peace
• What pain you’re still carrying, even if you’ve told yourself you’re “over it”

Maybe the next layer of heart healing isn’t focused on opening to others & giving more—but opening to your truth and finding the courage to be unavailable to what & who don’t serve you.

Maybe it’s in the honesty of sharing your truth. The honesty of “I’m not ready yet.” The honesty of “I want love, but I won’t sacrifice myself to receive it.”

Let me validate – this is NOT easy. It often challenges all that we’ve been taught to do and be in relationship.

And, you don’t have to navigate this alone. When you’re ready to heal and exit the cycle of self-abandonment, I’ll be here to guide you.

Pain from past betrayals—times you felt abandoned, rejected, or ‘stabbed in the back’—often lodges in the back of the heart space. Over time, this can create a deep sense of guardedness, tightness, or even invisible armor, making it hard to trust others or let love in.

If this resonates with you, please know: you are not alone—and you are certainly not broken. These protective patterns didn’t begin in adulthood; they often trace back to early experiences where you had to adapt in order to feel safe.

The good news? What once kept you safe can now be transformed. What was wired for survival can be rewired for safety, connection, and healing.

This is where Spinal Energetics comes in. This work gently helps your body and energy system unwind stored tension—much of it carried unconsciously for years—and supports your nervous system in coming back to safety in the present moment.

As your system softens and releases, something profound happens: you begin to remember the truth. You were never too much, never too needy, and never not enough. You were always worthy of love, care, and protection—and it was never your fault that others couldn’t offer it.

Many begin their journey with Spinal Energetics to release these long-held imprints from their body and energy field. Then, they move into Inner Child Embodiment—a practice that gently reconnects you with the parts of yourself that have been suppressed. Here, you learn to become the conscious, loving presence your younger self always needed.

Through connecting with your body’s wisdom and building a relationship with your inner child, you cultivate true resilience. Your nervous system becomes more adaptive, and you gain the tools for emotional regulation.

It’s so important to recognize when we’re holding onto the energy and emotions of others. So often, we carry what isn’t ours—whether it’s from family, friends, clients, colleagues, or even ancestral imprints passed down through generations.

This simple practice can help you quickly tune in and differentiate between what’s truly yours and what belongs to someone else. It also supports you in setting a somatic boundary—energetically and physically.

A powerful phrase to remind yourself in these moments:
“This is not mine to carry.”

And if you notice emotions arise underneath the energy, that’s an invitation. What part of you is asking to be seen? What within this connection is calling for your attention and compassion?

What are your favorite ways to ground and center your energy? ⬇️

#soothewellness #energyhealing #protection

Your nervous system was shaped by the safety (or lack of it) in your early relationships. When caregivers were attuned and responsive, your system learned to co-regulate—calming through connection, touch, or voice. If those relationships were inconsistent or harmful, your system may have learned to stay in hypervigilance or shut down.

Healing this dysregulation requires co-regulation—the same process of safe, connected relationships 🤝

Co-regulation doesn’t only come from humans. It can also come through:

* Pets: Animals offer non-verbal co-regulation, providing soothing energy that calms your body.
* Nature: The natural world offers a grounding space and a frequency that your nervous system can attune to, promoting healing and regulation.

While practices like Spinal Energetics, Reiki, and self-regulation techniques (breathwork, movement, tapping) are vital, true healing requires external co-regulation—whether from humans, animals, or nature. Even if your nervous system didn’t experience consistent safety in the past, it can still rewire with new, supportive connections.

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #nervoussystemhealing #reiki #healingjourney #traumarelease #energyhealing

6 ways to start connecting:

1. Body Scans
Take a few minutes each day to slowly scan your body from head to toe, noticing any sensations without judgment. This helps you tune into your body’s wisdom and start identifying areas of tension or emotional holding. If this interoception feels overwhelming, focus on orienting to your environment instead.

2. TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)
TRE involves a series of exercises that activate the body’s natural tremor response, releasing deep tension and trauma. After learning the exercises, it’s something you can practice on your own for self-regulation. (Search on YouTube) @davidberceli

3. Breath Awareness
By consciously slowing your breath—deep inhales through the nose and slow elongated exhales through the mouth—you activate the parasympathetic nervous system and create space for emotional release.

4. Gentle Movement or Shaking
Allow your body to move freely or shake to release stored energy. Shaking helps to activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms, releasing stored emotions and tension.

5. Somatic Unwinding
Put on a song that’s meaningful & emotive and allow your body to move freely to it without analyzing or controlling the movement. Let go of your mind’s need to direct the motion—just follow what feels natural. This practice helps release pent-up emotions and stored tension by facilitating an uninhibited flow of energy.

6. Ask, “What is my body saying?”
Take a moment to check in and ask your body what it’s trying to communicate. You might feel tension, discomfort, or sensations that could guide you toward deeper emotional truths. Listen to the answers your body gives, whether through physical sensations or intuitive messages.

These are practices to return to over and over. When you’re ready to dive deeper and rewire your nervous system for vitality, I’ll be here to guide you 💜

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #healingjourney #energyhealing #traumarelease #nervoussystem #nervousystemhealing #somatics #innerchildwork

Yes, your body is self-healing.

My role as a facilitator is to help you reconnect with the inner wisdom that’s always been there
— co-creating the space and safety for you to reclaim your vitality and remember who you are.

This is deep somatic, energetic, and nervous system focused care- out of the mind and stories & into the true record keeper that is your sweet body.

When you’re ready for this work, trust that you’ll feel the pull 💜

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #HealingJourney #energyhealing #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing

Aligned and lighthearted.
Aligned and deep feeling.
Aligned and inspired.
Aligned and grieving.
Aligned and moving.
Aligned and resting.

Yes, even all at once. This is what it means to be a human being.

I say this with love…

It’s easy to desire change.

Though much more difficult to step beyond what’s familiar—even when it keeps you stuck.

The cage of conditioning—made of past wounds, conditioned beliefs, and protective patterns—was once your shelter.

Now, it’s starting to feel a bit too tight.
It drains your life force. It numbs your joy.
It dulls your sense of who you are and what’s possible.

And quietly, there’s a part of you—tender, wise, and courageous—that’s ready to stretch.
To breathe deeper.
To feel more.
To spread your wings.

Not to rush your healing.
Not to “fix” yourself.
But to remember: you were never broken to begin with.

The “cage” may have once protected you—but now it’s the very thing keeping you stuck.

But freedom?

It asks you to risk becoming someone new. To step into the unknown and face the discomfort of change.

It asks you to shed the identity built around your pain, your fear, and your survival.

This is the work.

Not erasing the past, but choosing not to be defined by it anymore.

When you’re ready to break free, I’ll be here to guide you 💜

It’s easy to desire change.

Old narratives feel safe because you’ve lived inside them for so long.

Moral of the story…it’s easy to dismiss what we don’t know. What questions do you have? ⬇️

#soothewellness #spinalenergetics #somatics #traumarelease #nervoussystemhealing

“I feel like I always need someone to karate chop my shoulders!”

Valid. I get it—when the tension builds, you’d do anything for relief.

But what about what your body’s actually trying to tell you? The chronic shoulder tension isn’t random.

It’s saying: Look here, please pay attention. I’m holding more than I can carry.

The physical pain and tension you feel—when not caused by acute injuries—often arise from emotional pain, prolonged stress (all forms), and a nervous system stuck in survival. To truly unwind it and address the root cause, your body needs safety, presence, and patience—not force.

This work goes far beyond what happens in my sessions. That’s why, as a client, it’s so important to choose this work with intention and devotion to your growth. Consistency is essential—not just in the time we spend together, but in how you care for your body, mind, and energy every day.

As layers of stored tension and limitation begin to unwind, supportive changes often start to feel more natural—even effortless. But they still call for presence and commitment. And I share this with deep awareness that not all of these practices are accessible to everyone, all the time.

That’s why we begin where you are, with what you have—and build from there.

Here are some practices that gently support the process:
• Hydrating and nourishing your body with healthy foods
• Moving regularly in ways that feel good
• Reducing exposure to toxins (in food, drink, and products)
• Taking time each day to breathe, soften, play, and rest
• Spending time with people who uplift and help to regulate you
• Being outside in nature, in whatever way is available

If you take one thing from what I share here, let it be this: You are the healer you’ve been waiting for.
The wisdom lives within YOU and can be remembered when safety and connection are present 💜

When an adult repeatedly invalidates a child’s anger, it teaches them to suppress their emotions, often leading to struggles with boundaries and speaking up in adulthood.

💭 For example, imagine a child at a family gathering when a relative makes a hurtful comment about their appearance. The child feels hurt and angry, and storms off. Instead of acknowledging the child’s feelings, the parent or caregiver steps in and says, “Don’t be rude,” or “Come back here, they didn’t mean anything by it.” In that moment, the child’s natural anger is dismissed, and they’re told to suppress it to keep the peace.

The message the child receives is clear: anger is wrong, and they should hide it to avoid conflict.

Over time, this pattern of suppressing anger becomes ingrained. The child not only grows up without the tools to express anger in healthy ways, but they may also internalize the belief that expressing anger — even when it’s justified — is wrong. As an adult, they may struggle to speak up or set healthy boundaries because they were never shown how to express their emotions constructively. This can lead to a tendency to people-please, avoid conflict, and feel guilty for standing up for themselves.

How this shows up in the body?

1. Jaw Clenching
2. Neck & Shoulder Tension
3. Clenched Fists
4. Tight Chest
5. Shallow Breathing
6. Lump in throat
7. Digestive issues
8. Pain & tension in right lower back

If this resonates, you’re not alone.
My work supports you in processing and releasing stored anger, giving you healthy ways to express it. You’ll also build the confidence and nervous system regulation skills needed to set clear, healthy boundaries — and honor your needs without feeling consumed by guilt.

Organ work comes in level 2 of Spinal Energetics.

The gallbladder plays a key role in digesting fats and absorbing nutrients, while also governing decision-making, action-taking, and emotional resilience. When balanced, it helps “ us confidently digest both food and life experiences, allowing for clarity, adaptability and perseverance. When imbalanced, it can lead to digestive issues, irritability, indecisiveness, frustration, and a sense of stagnation in pursuing goals.

Unwinding tension in the gallbladder is essential for restoring emotional empowerment, clear decision-making, and the ability to move forward with confidence and vitality.
