What we’re about

You don’t only need to talk about your trauma to heal.
You also need to release it from your body.

This healing circle is a trauma-informed, body-based space for adult children of dysfunctional, emotionally immature, or narcissistic families. If you grew up carrying the emotional weight of your caregivers — as the fixer, the golden child, the scapegoat, the invisible one — you may still be holding those patterns in your fascia, nervous system, voice, and breath.

If you've explored your story, named your trauma, and done the inner work — but still feel stuck, disconnected, or physically unwell — this group offers a gentle shift into embodied healing.

We begin where the body is now, not where the mind got stuck.

What We Focus On

Nervous system safety as the foundation of healing
Somatic unwinding of old roles and people-pleasing patterns
Fascia awareness as a doorway to emotional release
Boundaries and self-trust as embodied states, not just mental concepts
Energetic hygiene and how to stop absorbing what’s not yours
The sacred role of healthy isolation and the difference between loneliness and regulation
Quiet spaces for reflection, integration, and deep inner listening

***

What to Expect in a Session
Each session includes:
🔹 Grounding & Arrival
Gentle breathing, body awareness, or nervous system settling
🔹 Mini Teaching (5–10 mins)
Short insights on how trauma shows up in the body, and how we can begin to unwind it
🔹 Somatic Practice or Journaling
Invitational practices such as fascia awareness, intuitive movement, or reflective writing — always gentle, always optional
🔹 Sharing & Integration
An open, invitational space to be seen and heard — no pressure, no performance, no “trauma dumping”

Who This Group Is For
This space is for adults who:

Grew up in emotionally immature, neglectful, or enmeshed families
Are working to release guilt, fear, or self-blame around setting boundaries
Are exhausted from people-pleasing, fixing, or shrinking themselves
Feel the toll of hypervigilance, shutdown, or emotional suppression in their body
Are ready to heal from the bottom up — not just intellectually
Crave a soft, spiritual, somatically aware space to reconnect with themselves

No diagnosis is required. No trauma story needs to be shared.
Your nervous system already knows what needs to be healed — we’re just giving it the space and safety to do so.

A Note from Natalie
I’m Natalie — a Healing & Embodiment Coach, certified yoga therapist, and MA in Psychology. But more importantly, I’m a deeply sensitive woman who spent most of my life carrying emotional weight that wasn’t mine. I’m no longer performing, fixing, or twisting myself to be loved — and I hold this space so you don’t have to either.

This is a sacred place to slow down, listen inward, and honor your healing as the brave, layered, spiritual journey that it is.
