Cultivate
A 3-month container for professional helpers, healers, and health care workers working at the edge of their capacity, who want to redefine their work in a way that centers their own values, so they can feel a sense of vitality doing what they love without leaving any parts of themselves behind.
Hello friend.
I know without a single doubt that you bring highly valuable care to the community you serve.
You’re good at what you do, and everyone knows it.
Your schedule is likely booked with clients, workshops, and continuing education courses.
You always make time for others, but at the end of the workday, you’re exhausted.
I know, because I’ve been there.
I’m wondering if you’ve started to notice your nervous system is more and more affected by the emotions and experiences of the people you serve.
Maybe you once felt like you had an endless well of wisdom to provide to your people, and lately you’ve noticed yourself coming up short with “helpful” solutions that also feel in alignment with your values.
Perhaps you’re beginning to feel like your work is taking more than it gives, and you don’t know how to change anything without compromising the integrity of your work.
When was the last time you felt enough space to breathe deeply at work?
Listen, I know how much we want to support our community so we can feel a sense of belonging, but we can’t leave our own vitality out of the work we do for the sake of helping.
At that point, we’ve lost the plot!
It’s time to take a sip of your own sweet medicine, start replenishing your well of resources, and reconnect to the parts you had to leave behind to be good at your job.
So you can feel a sense of aliveness in your body, remember why you chose this path, and create offerings that honor your whole self without leaving any parts behind.
So that you can get back to doing the work you love and support the community that loves you back.
Friend, it’s time to move away from signing up for yet another class and instead start the doing, being, and receiving parts of an embodied practice.
Overextending is under feeling.
For many of us, caring for others began very early in life and continued as our role into adulthood. The tendency to look to others first left our own needs for care de-centered and neglected, which was absolutely no fault of our own.
It turns out that overextending oneself is an intelligent coping strategy for safety, access, and resource security when one's environment does not provide such basic needs.
While our orientation to our loved ones and community is very much heart-centered, it can also result in ongoing self-abandonment and inevitably burnout.
We just can’t go on like this.
Now more than ever, we need deeply resourced healers supporting our communities, so that value-driven efforts are sustained and aimed at longevity.
We need to connect to our experience to feel what hasn’t been felt, so that we can integrate the overwhelming sensations and build a wider capacity that allows us to continue on our path without losing our own vitality.
In order to get back to the good stuff, we’ve gotta move through some muddy waters.
This is where body-centered work come in
The Three Cultivate Pillars
Body-Based Discernment & Capacity Building
exploring your own experience, reevaluating what you have space for, and expanding on your own time - returning to self and noticing what’s here
Relational Attunement in Practice (not theory)
reading your own body in practice sessions, so you can do the same with your clients and make choice points based on what’s actually in the room - this is the mentorship piece
Value-Based Offer Design for Mutual Support
creating offerings that sustain both your clients, with fine-tuned sensitivity and understanding of what post-traumatic growth requires - we create a way of working that centers your capacity
We practice together.
In collaboration, we build practices that develop a deeper connection to the body and establish a stronger foundation that reminds you to center your own nervous system as a healer in the work you bring to the community.
As someone who has been in healthcare and wellness spaces my entire professional career, this is the care I take.
I work with somatic practitioners who observe and reflect on the patterns that I miss in my own system, provide compassionate feedback, and offer practices centered on choice.
This has molded me into a well-resourced practitioner who knows my needs, preferences, and boundaries, which inform how I can best show up for my clients.
Through a body-based, human-centered lens, I create offerings based on the systems, methods, and time my body has capacity for.
I no longer provide offerings that I can not show up in, without my full integrity, and I want this for you, too.
This is not only in service of your wellbeing, but also the people you provide care for as well.
Trust me, our capacity to provide meaningful work is felt by others.
Here’s what I bring to the table.
-
Grounded Support
I provide down-to-earth guidance rooted in Somatic Experiencing methods throughout all of my offerings, which is especially helpful when it comes to looking at activation that comes up in our care settings as providers.
-
Mirrored Experience
As someone who might share your experiences and values, I offer a compassionate mirror up to you, reflecting patterns and cycles you may not have previously noticed.
-
Practical Mentorship
I prioritize helping you develop systems, pacing, and offerings that will support your work with the clients and communities you serve without extracting from your personal capacity as a healer.

What’s Included.
Cultivate is a brief, 3-month container that provides a highly focused period of integration, which includes:
-
6 90-minute virtual meetings.
We meet twice a month in a virtual 90-minute video call format for 3 months to ensure you receive quality attention and time for integration.
-
Access to a shared Voxer channel, which is used to support attuned decision-making while you are actively in practice - before, during, or after client sessions.
This is especially helpful for real-time choice points in client work.
-
Throughout our time, you’ll receive weekly assignments aimed at getting in touch with your own creative somatic practice so we can build a personalized routine and offerings that support you long after our time together.
Assignments are personalized, but can include journal entries, art activities, and somatic movement exploration.
-
After each virtual call, you will have access to detailed notes that highlight the themes, breakthroughs, growth, and action points of our meetings.
Investment:
$900 a month
or $450 twice a month
with a minimum commitment of 3 months
Cultivate is a highly attentive program.
This container is rooted in post-traumatic growth, somatic attunement, and practitioner-specific support.
In other words, we will be working through the whole spectrum of a healer’s ecosystem.
Not only do we explore the foundations of a somatic practice aimed at building capacity, but we also look at the energetics of an offering container, time mechanics, space influence, and how to find harmony in your daily work.
Plus! I’ll be right in your pocket with Voxer for the moments in between our sessions that could use additional consultation or decision-making support.
Rest assured, you’ll receive numerous tools, techniques, and resources that will continue to support you long after completing the program.
What This Work Is
(and isn’t)
What it is:
Somatic-based guidance for healers, space-holders, and care providers seeking harmony in their work while trying to prevent total burnout
A vehicle that moves you out of a state of shame freeze and into one of warm compassion, so you can create the offerings that sustain mutual support without shrinking to fit into your own container again
A practical, grounded experience of what it means to live your values without also self-abandoning - because you are the medicine, friend
A place to develop new offerings to include framework, systems, and copy that center on your needs in care settings
What it’s not:
A shorter version of Attune, this offering is specifically for practitioners who want to refine capacity, pacing, and attunement in the work they already do
A longer version of Connect, this particular container is for providers who don’t know where to go next - and need the support to regroup and create
An answer to all business-related challenges, rather than a way to create from personal values and develop work that honors your capacity and the people you serve with integrity
Only for business owners, this program can provide support for practitioners who are looking to build capacity around the work they do, whether they sell their offerings or not
A map of where we can go.
Week 1-3
RETURN TO BODY WITH RESOURCES.
We begin our work together by cultivating a source of nourishing support for the work ahead. This will be our guiding light throughout the deep work ahead.
This is the part where we choose a path based on what lights you up as a healer!
Week 4-6
BUILD BOUNDARIES AND DEEPER CAPACITY.
From a supported place, we can move to define exactly what is needed for your nervous system to access even more ease in your work by building structure around your integrity.
You deserve protection and preservation, friend, especially in care settings.
Week 7-9
DEVELOP RELATIONAL ATTUNEMENT.
Once a sense of stability has been established, our sessions continue by integrating challenges head-on from a place of curiosity, so that you can start to track your own patterned activations that come up in relationships.
At this point, you’ll get really good at noticing your own responses and somatic cues.
Week 10-12
REDEFINE PURPOSE AND CREATE NEW WORK.
Moving forward, we dive even deeper by working with patterns and subtle responses in order to redefine how you show up in your purpose and community.
This is the part where we create a you-shaped container that carries you forward and creates new realities based on the offerings you’ve dreamed of.
This offering is best for practitioners who:
are feeling overextended, overidentified, or on the edge of burnout and want to build greater capacity to hold space for big emotions without being mutually activated with others
are ready to start a private practice, creative project, or healing community, but need help moving out of the freeze that shrinks their ability to offer more
have the ability to describe their emotions, sensations, and overall internal experience, but want to feel a shift in their body so they can provide care with confident, embodied pacing
want increased somatic discernment which supports meaningful and appropriate solution finding in a care setting - attuning to body, so you can attune to others
