-
You've done years of therapy and understand your trauma — but the healing's been in your head, not your body.
-
You live in a constant state of hypervigilance — bracing, scanning, waiting for what could go wrong.
-
You're stuck in self-sabotage, procrastination, and self-doubt — and you've been treating it like a motivation problem.
-
You can't be alone with yourself — so you scroll, eat, drink, stay busy. Anything to not feel.
-
Your inner critic is relentless — and after a lifetime of hearing it, you've stopped questioning what it tells you.
-
You feel disconnected from your body — most of the time you're numb or checked out.
-
When something good happens, you can't let yourself enjoy it — joy feels suspicious, calm feels unsafe.
-
You've been doing this work alone — and somewhere you know healing in community is the piece that's missing.
-
You're in IFS or doing parts work on your own — but Self is more of a concept than something you can actually feel.
this is for you if...
what is SELF energy
Self energy is the calm, curious, compassionate core of who you are.
Underneath all your patterns, limiting beliefs, and survival strategies. Unharmed by the trauma you experienced.
It isn't something you have to build or earn — it's already within you.
In this course, we'll be accessing Self energy through three lenses👇
3. Somatic Experiencing
In SE, Self energy is the regulated, grounded body. A body that can feel sensation and emotion without getting flooded or shut down.
2. Polyvagal Theory
In Polyvagal Theory, Self energy is what you feel when your nervous system is in a ventral vagal state: settled, safe, and able to connect.
1. Internal Family Systems
In IFS, Self energy is the internal leader — the presence that can be with all of your parts without being overtaken by them.
the journey: a 3-phase path to SELF energy
I built this from my own healing. And I built it intentionally.
Every piece is in here because it worked for me, and every piece is where it is for a reason.
My recovery hasn't been a straight line. This is the path I'm walking — and now I'm walking it with you.
2. Somatic Parts Work (Weeks 4-5)
This is the cycle you've been stuck in your whole life. You just didn't know it had a name. It's called the shame triangle: the inner critic, shame, and the escaper.
Over 2 weeks, we'll meet each of these parts in the body through a technique called RIM (Regenerating Images in Memory), a somatic method you can use to connect with any of your parts, for the rest of your life.
As a chronic intellectualizer, RIM was the thing that finally let me stop thinking about my parts and actually meet them.

3. Embodiment Practices (Weeks 6-7)
This is where Self stops being a concept and becomes something you can actually feel in your body.
Over 2 weeks, we use conscious connected breathwork and guided embodiment practices to open somatic space and let you experience Self energy from the inside.
Feeling good in my body used to feel dangerous. Learning to let it in was some of the hardest work I've done — and one of the biggest reasons I built this course the way I did.
1. Somatic Foundations (Weeks 1-3)
Without this, nothing else lands. You have to be able to be in your body. Over 3 weeks, we build the capacity to actually be in your body, meeting it with calm, curiosity, and compassion.
Through nervous system regulation and Polyvagal Theory, you'll come away with a felt sense of safety in your body and a set of tools you'll use for the rest of your healing.
This is the stuff I didn't get to until 6 years into my own healing — and now I know it's non-negotiable. Everything else is supposed to be sitting on top of this.
what makes this different
You're learning from a peer, not someone who's arrived.
Most courses are sold by people at the top of the mountain. I'm not at the top — I'm in it. I did talk therapy for years and thought I was healed; I wasn't.
I was 6 years in before I realized somatic work isn't optional, it's the foundation. I've lived with functional freeze, chronic hypervigilance, the inability to do the things that would help. I built this from inside the work, not from above it.
I'm also certified in Tian Dayton's Relational Trauma Repair, so what I'm bringing has clinical grounding alongside the lived experience.
The container itself is part of the healing.
This isn't content delivery. Your nervous system learns regulation through co-regulation — by being in proximity to other regulated nervous systems. It's not something you can build alone.
We meet inside The Shitshow, where you can show up exactly as you are, ask the questions you've been afraid to ask, and not have to perform wellness. For those of us whose trauma happened in relationships, being seen and held in a safe, non-judgmental space is some of the deepest healing there is.
The community isn't a bonus — it's part of the medicine.

Your Somatic Toolkit
the transformation
By the end of these 7 weeks, you'll have…
A body you can actually live in.
More connected to your body, safer being in it, and more able to be with good feelings without bracing against them.
A somatic understanding of what's been running you.
A nervous-system-level understanding of what's actually happening with your inner critic, shame, and escaper — plus a real tool (RIM) for accessing and working with these parts, so the kind of shifts that take time can actually begin.
Self-trust from the inside.
The beginning of being able to settle yourself and know you're okay from the inside, instead of needing someone else to tell you.
A bigger window for what you can hold.
Practical regulation tools that expand your window of capacity — practices for accessing calm, curiosity, and compassion in your body, so when feelings get big, you have somewhere to land instead of getting flooded or hijacked.
Self energy as a felt experience.
Self stops being a concept and becomes something you can locate in your body — a place you can return to that knows how to heal you.

Who is this course NOT for?
A few people I'd ask not to sign up:
-
People in acute crisis — active psychosis, untreated addiction, or current suicidal ideation. This is a group workshop, not stabilization care.
-
People hoping this will replace therapy or one-on-one clinical care. This course can deepen your healing — but it's a group somatic experience, not a substitute for the kind of one-on-one care some people need.
-
People who want to keep healing as an intellectual project and aren't ready to let their body into the room.
FAQ'S
Do I need any prior experience with somatic work, IFS, or parts work to join?
Nope. No prior experience needed — just a willingness to show up. I'll guide you through every step in a way that feels accessible, grounded, and trauma-informed. Whether you're brand new to this kind of work or you've been doing parts work for years, you'll be met exactly where you are.
When will I get access to The Shitshow community?
You'll get your invite to The Shitshow a week before the course begins, so you have time to settle in. Your 2-month membership kicks in then. If you'd like to continue after, it'll just auto-renew at the regular monthly rate of $29/month — and you can cancel anytime before that date if you don't want to stay.
What if I can't make a session live?
Replays will be available within 24 hours of each session, so you can catch up on your own time. The work is experiential, so I do hope you can make most sessions live — but life happens, and you won't fall behind if you miss one.
Should I do this if I'm currently in therapy?
Replays will be available within 24 hours of each session, so you can catch up on your own time. The work is experiential, so I do hope you can make most sessions live — but life happens, and you won't fall behind if you miss one.
