ARE YOU READY TO BLOOM?
Right before I sat down to write this, I felt a tightness in my throat. Sometimes that’s an indicator that I need to write, speak, or express in some way. I don’t always know what I need to express right away, which is why free writing everything and anything or speaking into our voice memo app really helps us find it… and then we can communicate it.
Knowing ourselves, who we are, and the way our body communicates to us takes time, practice, patience, and self-trust.
Most of us have spent a life time not developing the muscle of self-trust. So the muscle takes time. To know the difference between anxiety and intuition takes time. To know the difference between what’s yours and what’s someone else’s takes time. To know the difference between real fear and F.E.A.R. (false evidence appearing real) takes time. To understand what the sensation or symptom your body is chronically expressing takes time.
The mind grasps at wanting to know. The anxious mind and body will do anything for certainty.
A mind desperate for certainty is a messenger. There’s something happening underneath the chokehold of intrusive thoughts and rumination. Usually it’s a suppressed/repressed emotion that’s not being felt. A fear that’s not being communicated. A body memory that doesn’t feel safe to resolve. A traumatic experience or event that needs your attention.
I don’t subscribe to a one size fits all, but in my journey, it’s been all of the above.
A huge piece of working with chronic anxiety, is about learning tools to lean into, to support the sheer uncertainty of life itself. The uncertainty of what each day may bring. Even when we think we have it all planned out.
We need a wide window of tolerance in the nervous system to successfully hold uncertainty, doubt, and worry without it debilitating us. We need to know how to regulate our nervous system when we get dysregulated.
We need to know what to do when our heart starts beating fast out of nowhere and our body tenses up in terror.
We need to know what to do when panic arises.
We need to know what supports us and holds us, so that we can learn how to hold ourselves.
And if you’re chronically anxious and debilitated, you’re likely going to need a lot more structured and grounded support than you think you do.

I have watched my clients and the work I do with them closely over the past year and a half. I have tried variations of how I do my work. I have tried to offer it in lower touch formats. I have tried to offer it to fit someones money story or true lack of funds. I have tried to offer it more spread out and self-paced to make it more accessible to more of you. Everything I have tried is not the same as the signature program that I started with.
The one that really WORKS.
What I’ve also realized is - one component of the way I have offered my signature program ‘The Resource’ is not what’s TRULY best for someone on the journey of healing chronic and debilitating anxiety.
And over the last 6 weeks or so, I finally ACCEPTED what needs to change to KEEP the innate healing power you have, inside of your hands.
I know what’s needed to empower you within the healing journey of chronic anxiety, the journey that leaves you on the floor wailing in tears. Because I’ve been there.

Through my work in The Resource, I’ve held space for women who have completely blossomed in front of my eyes.
They have grown greater regulatory capacity and flexibility in their nervous system.
They have gone from thinking they have zero tolerance to cold water to staying in the PNW ocean for 20 minutes.
They have gone from hand crippling Ruemathoid arthritis pain to significantly reduced RA pain.
They have gone from feeling too overwhelmed to sit still and journal to being able to sit still and journal.
They have learned what boundaries are and how to communicate them.
They have gone on their first ever solo international vacation.
They have gone from thinking they were to0 riddled with anxiety, to exploring a career they wanted to try, to setting up interviews and getting the role they wanted.
They have taken conscious and intentional space from their mother for their healing.
They have developed a much more secure attachment to self.
They have held their inner child & reparented themselves which has bettered their romantic relationship.
They have learned how to self soothe when fearful thoughts are at their loudest.
They have learned how to trust themselves more deeply.
They have learned how to make decisions based on their body response to the opportunity.
They have developed the capacity in their body to begin creating the life they actually want to live.
And that doesn’t even cover it all.

Here’s the thing about being SO invested in your work, your purpose, your art, your humanity, your faults, your lessons, your truth. It is a forever and ongoing creative process. It takes flexibility and a wide window of tolerance in the nervous system - to change, to grow, to feel, to evolve, and to live the life you deeply want to live.
What I know, what I teach, and what I embody - provides a beautiful basic framework and structure that sets you up for the inner journey that chronic anxiety is calling you towards.
It’s not an easy journey. It’s a messy, painful, emotional, and “oh my gosh why is life so terrible today” kind of journey. It’s shadow work. It’s heavy. It’s not a dance party.
The journey is unique AND there are basic frameworks that will deeply support and set you on the path to becoming free from chronic and debilitating anxiety.
My work covers a lot. Working with me might not be the only thing you’ll need. You may need additional processing modalities like EMDR. I will likely suggest you find an osteopath if you don’t already have one. You may evolve and follow another modality on your journey.
But you start here, with this. If I had known what I provide through my work when I was in my dark night, I wouldn’t have walked around in that dark for as long as I did (for years).
I know what’s need to start you on your path to true healing because I’ve lived every flavor of anxiety. From relationship anxiety to health anxiety to financial anxiety to death anxiety to generalized anxiety to panic attacks.
The structure, the framework and the tools I offer are an essential piece on the healing journey of anxiety.
Because when things get rough and you are alone with intrusive fearful thoughts, uncomfortable sensations, and a hyper-vigilant body that just won’t settle - you’ll want some resources to lean into.
You’ll want to know what to do, where to go, how to hold yourself.
This comes as a result of working with me one to one.
