Fluid Foundation
A supportive somatic healing container for Highly Sensitive, High-Functioning Creatives to live into their fullest expression without losing their ground.
Ground amidst the chaos.
Connect without overwhelm or collapse.
Do what you came here to do.
In your deepest self, you know that the human experience is awe-inspiring and endlessly fascinating.
But when it comes to your own life—your quiet moments and reflections without distraction—you often wonder if you’ve been left out of the great drama and unfolding of life’s most mundane miracles.
Sure, good luck hasn’t missed you. But there’s intimacy, pleasure, and a depth of self worth that seem to elude you. A real felt sense of being truly loved doesn’t ever quite fall into place—no matter how diligent your efforts of inner and outer exploration.
You’ve created a relative sense of safety, well-being, and success in your life, which is wonderful. The problem is that these comforts have kept you from feeling (and taking seriously) the full extent of deeper suffering—both personal and collective. And furthermore, you feel that you have to carry every morsel of that suffering on your own.
The truth is, these struggles are best addressed in connection—to the natural world, to beauty, to other people, and to ourselves. This includes the fanciful kind of fun connection just as much as the pit-of-a-whale's-stomach kind of connection with our most hidden shame, darkest secret, or unspeakable truth.
If you find yourself in these darkest place often, please know l've been there too. And I'm here to help. We're on this journey together.
Deep, satisfying connection happens when we land in the safety needed to connect.
True safety is rooted in familiarity, trust, and mutual respect over a long period of time.
The process that I offer is about fostering true safety within your own organism so that no matter where you are or who you are with, you feel at home with your most treasured parts.
Being at home means inhabiting in the body. Embodiment is not just a buzzword, and it’s not just a workshop away. This work centers on long-term care and re-organization of the body because our sense of safety literally lives in the amygdala, at the base of our brain, sending our entire being signals of safety, warning, pleasure, and pain (to name a few). And it’s been operating under its earliest childhood programming for quite a long time.
We are working with the brain and spinal cord because the central nervous system within it is constantly sending signals to your limbs, viscera, neck, head, and face—directing your way of being in the world, from your internal landscape to your external persona. It’s the central conductor of your physical, emotional, psychological, spiritual, and social self.
This central conductor impacts your experience of life in real time—from your emotions to your memories to your heart rate to your breathing to your millions of daily choices.
The goal is to help that central conductor work its full range of motion, flexibility, and creativity in every aspect of life so that you can create harmony within you and around you and live into your deepest desires.
Responding to potential opportunities for growth with ease and self-efficacy derived from an organic sense of wholeness.
Sharing your work without expecting validation, worrying about critical feedback, or needing it to “get you” anything.
Going on a date purely for the potential connection with a fellow human without preconceived notions or unrealistic expectations—and truly enjoying it.
Connecting more deeply in your current relationships while growing the capacity to start new ones.
Developing right-sized alert systems—protect your safety, discernment, thoughts, desires, and goals when they are betrayed or threatened.
Creating your most nourishing boundaries and developing your sense of self within them so that, over time, you’ll have a garden where humans and lovers who respect what you’ve made can come and go to enjoy it with you.
Our work will involve finding those sticky, fixated places. We’ll give them room to breathe new life into more authentic and dynamic behaviors and responses when confronted with old wounds.
This can look like:
You want a wild, connected, purposeful life? It doesn’t start with the self.
It starts with the central nervous system.
Is this you?
You find yourself in a pervasive sense of unsettledness, oscillating between being sure and unsure of your own center.
Your emotional life often feels like a tidal wave pulling you under, keeping you from placing concerted effort on your heart’s most desired contributions.
You often struggle with intense periods of disconnection—from yourself, others, the earth, animals, your work, and your purpose.
There’s a life you’re sure you’re meant to live and a love you know you’re meant to have, but it never seems to land in your material field the way you desire, despite all your efforts.
You spend lots of time offering yourself compassion for why things haven’t worked out the way you wanted them to, but deep down, there’s a nagging feeling that something might just be terribly wrong with you.
In our work together, you will begin to…
Feel genuinely comfortable relying on others for support, protection, and love—not just theoretically comfortable.
Craft an environment for yourself where self-love and receiving love from others play an equal role in your journey towards realizing yourself as worthy of pleasure, joy, success, rest, leisure, and life.
Find solace in your relationships rather than disappointment and despair that dig at old wounds.
Build a foundation of solid ground for yourself so you can ride the rhythms and waves of life, no matter the circumstances around you.
Find inner consistency for yourself that pours out towards your creations and the ones you love most.
State, hold, and maintain nourishing boundaries with people who are eager to respect them AND desire to meet your needs.
Know what your needs are with clarity, and express them with ease.
My Approach.
This a collaborative method where your singular uniqueness informs my intuitive use of the universal language of the body’s sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
Together, we will use research-supported experiential tools to gently unwind fixated pathways and responses that have been embedded in your organism—often ones that have been well-worn over long periods of time.
We will facilitate gentle cycles of energetic discharge that give way to deeper rest and resilience that don’t need to be strived towards.
I will help facilitate a balanced experience of guiding your body based on my expertise of how our systems release bound energy while using your feedback, needs, and goals as guideposts for that process.
Your voice and your resonance matter here, and it’s your emergence and greater spectrum of life’s pleasure we’re working towards together.
