Hi There!

I hope this message finds you well and gently moving through the spring season. I wanted to share some updates that I think you’ll find meaningful as you continue on your healing journey.

Podcast Feature: Reframing Self-Sabotage & Listening to Your Inner Critic

Recently, I had the pleasure of joining Annika Taylor on the Mind-Body Wellness Podcast. We dove into the heart of parts work and trauma healing—exploring how our so-called “inner critic” is often a protector in disguise, and why seemingly small triggers can spark big reactions.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re sabotaging yourself, or you’re curious about the undamaged, whole Self that exists beneath your struggles, I invite you to listen to the episode and reflect on what resonates for you.

How your ‘inner critic’ is actually a protector in disguise
Why tiny triggers spark huge reactions (and how to decode them)
The undamaged, whole Self that already exists beneath your struggles

If you have thoughts or questions after listening, I’d love to hear from you. These conversations are at the core of my work as a holistic stress and trauma coach—helping you understand your emotions, nervous system, and the protective parts that shape your experience.

Exploring Preverbal & Birth Trauma: Your Input Wanted

I’m diving deep into a transformative training with Dr. Aline LaPierre on preverbal and birth trauma — specifically, how your own earliest experiences (even in utero or during birth) may still live in your nervous system today. This isn’t about birth trauma for mothers.

It’s about:

🔹 Your biological birth experience – How entry into the world might shape stress responses

🔹 Preverbal memories – How trauma before language develops can manifest as unexplained fears, attachment patterns, or somatic symptoms

🔹 Repatterning the nervous system – Somatic tools to gently release these primal imprints

I’d love your input:

What questions do you have about how birth/preverbal trauma affects adults?

Would you attend a workshop on this?
