About us
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
- Quiet space for reflection, integration, and deep inner listening
What to Expect
Each session includes:
🔹 Grounding & Arrival
Gentle breathing, body awareness, or nervous system settling
🔹 Mini Teaching (5–10 minutes)
Short insights on how trauma lives in the body — and how it can begin to unwind
🔹 Somatic Practice or Reflection
Invitational practices such as fascia awareness, intuitive movement, or gentle journaling
Always optional. Always body-led.
🔹 Integration
Time to rest, notice, and let the work land in your own way
No sharing required.
Who This Group Is For
This space is for adults who:
- Grew up in emotionally immature, neglectful, or enmeshed families
- Are releasing guilt, fear, or self-blame around boundaries
- Are exhausted from people-pleasing, fixing, or shrinking themselves
- Feel hypervigilance, shutdown, or emotional suppression in their body
- Are ready to heal from the bottom up — not just intellectually
- Crave a somatically aware space to reconnect with themselves
No diagnosis is required.
No trauma story needs to be shared.
Your nervous system already knows what it needs — we’re simply creating the space and safety to listen.
How We Meet
This group is offered via YouTube Live.
This format allows you to participate in a way that feels safest for your nervous system:
- No pressure to be on camera
- No requirement to speak or share
- You can come late, leave early, or simply listen
- You are free to receive without being seen
For many people healing from emotional neglect, hypervigilance, or family roles, being observed or evaluated can feel activating. YouTube Live creates a gentle environment where you can stay regulated, present, and resourced — while still benefiting from somatic teaching and guided practices.
Participation is always optional. Presence is enough.

A Note from Natalie
I’m Natalie — a Somatic 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 journey that it is.

Healing Anxious Attachment: A Body-Based Healing Circle
·OnlineOnlineThis session is presented as a live stream, offering a gentle, low-demand way to explore somatic healing.
Do you find yourself overthinking texts, waiting for replies, needing reassurance, or feeling a surge of panic when connection feels uncertain?
Anxious attachment is a nervous system pattern shaped by early relational experiences. And it lives in the body.
In this experiential Healing Circle, we’ll gently explore how anxious attachment shows up somatically; in thoughts, sensations, impulses, and emotional waves, and learn how to bring regulation and safety back into the body.
This is not a lecture.
This is a guided, embodied experience.You’ll be led through:
• A grounding arrival practice
• Nervous system teaching
• A guided somatic awareness exercise
• Reflection prompts to map your patterns
• A gentle regulation sequence to create internal safetyYou’ll leave with:
• A deeper understanding of your attachment responses
• Tools to calm activation in real time
• A more compassionate relationship with your nervous systemThis is a safe space. No fixing. Just awareness, regulation, and integration.
If anxious attachment has felt overwhelming, confusing, or exhausting — this circle is an invitation to slow down and meet it in the body.
A Gentle Next Step
For those who find this topic resonates deeply, this session serves as a gentle introduction to a deeper, small-group workshop I offer called:
Healing the Fawn Response: From Self Abandonment to ChoiceAnxious attachment is a characteristic of a larger nervous system response called the Fawn Response. This workshop is a somatic approach to understanding the Fawn Response and restoring agency from the inside out.
