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.

•OnlineHealing the Ache of Loneliness: Body-Based Healing Circle
OnlineLoneliness isn’t just an emotion — it lives in the body.
And when we learn to meet that ache with compassion instead of fear, something inside us finally softens.
Join me for a gentle, somatic healing experience designed to help you:
- Feel less alone from the inside out
- Soften the tight, heavy places where loneliness lives
- Build inner companionship and safety
- Reconnect with your own presence and inner warmth
Together, we’ll move through grounding, body awareness, somatic teaching, visualization, journaling, and a tender Body Talk practice. Optional sharing is welcome but never required.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected, empty, misunderstood, or hungry for deeper presence … this circle is for you.
You’ll learn how to shift loneliness not through the mind, but through the nervous system—gently, safely, and at your own pace.

### Core Principles of Trauma-Informed Practice
- Safety – Physical, emotional, and energetic safety are prioritized. People aren’t pushed to do anything that feels overwhelming.
- Choice – Participants have agency; they can opt in or out of any practice, change positions, or just observe without pressure.
- Collaboration – The facilitator and participants are in a shared experience, rather than a top-down “expert/subject” dynamic.
- Empowerment – Focus is on strengths, resilience, and self-trust rather than on deficits or “fixing.”
- Cultural Humility – Recognizing and respecting that people’s experiences, beliefs, and bodies are shaped by diverse backgrounds.
***
### Why It Matters for Healing
- Many trauma survivors are hyper-aware of threat cues (tone of voice, body language, abrupt changes), so being mindful of these creates a safe space where healing can actually happen.
- The nervous system learns safety through experience, not just logic — so a calm, respectful, choice-based space helps the body downshift out of survival mode.
- Avoiding re-traumatization means you don’t accidentally trigger someone into reliving their trauma through overly intense, invasive, or fast-paced practices.

•OnlineNew Year's Eve Somatic Ceremony
Online✨ Important: You must sign up through Eventbrite to attend this ceremony. The Meetup RSVP does not reserve your spot.
Eventbrite Registration Link: Please register here
As we close out 2025, our bodies hold every story, every emotion, every boundary we learned, every moment that shaped us. New Year’s Eve is a powerful time to release what the body no longer needs… and step into a new year grounded, clear, and connected.
This 90-minute somatic ceremony is a gentle, sacred space to honor your body, exhale the weight of the year, and enter 2026 feeling supported and rooted.
We’ll move through a soft, guided journey together that includes:
- Grounding + somatic settling
- A collective toast with your drink of choice
- A releasing ritual (burning, dissolving, or tearing what no longer serves you)
- A moment in darkness + re-lighting to symbolize stepping out of the old year
- Intentional journaling & reflection
- Creating your “three-word year” for 2026
- Choosing a somatic anchor gesture to support your nervous system in the year ahead
- Community connection with others entering the new year consciously
What this ceremony will help you do:
✔️ Let go of what your body carried in 2025
✔️ Release old survival patterns with compassion
✔️ Gain clarity for 2026
✔️ Ground into a nourishing, embodied beginning
✔️ Feel supported and not alone during the holiday season
Come exactly as you are with:
- a candle or soft light
- a journal
- a pen
- a small piece of paper
- a drink for our toast
Let your body exhale… soften… and step into the new year feeling held.
I would love to share this moment with you.
