Confession: I might be a successfully high-vibe doctor, mom, wife, and daughter now, but I used to be a totally stressed-out over-achiever.

Sure, I was proud of my accomplishments. But I was also exhausted, burned out, and disconnected from everyone I loved, trying to do it all and be it all.

Then, the wildest thing happened: I signed up for an event without reading the details (Uh, way too busy for fine print thank you very much!) accidentally stumbling into a mind-body medicine talk.

Suddenly, what used to feel like the end of the world was no big deal. And the more I applied the tools I was learning about, the happier, calmer, and more fulfilled with life I became.

Things that used to feel complicated or exhausting, such as making healthy meals, choosing hydrating elixirs over alcohol, or doing a soothing meditation instead of doom scrolling – felt easy and fun.

As a medical doctor I've taught thousands of women how to destress using somatic + subconscious techniques. Now I can show you too!

When your body and brain have lived in a stress pattern for years, your memory of living any other way is slowly ebbed away.

So, what happens when you don't know how to be successful, happy, and accomplished without 100 ccs of stress pumping through your system?



Usually, lots of overthinking, anxious feelings, body discomfort, aches and pains, bloating, puffiness, reactive skin, and premature aging.



When life is controlled on the outside but chaos on the inside, feeling tense is your baseline.

So you numb out with distractions like TV, the news, scrolling your phone, shopping, food, alcohol, or the drama of your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, and anyone else on earth who can divert your attention away from how crummy you feel.



All that distraction results in the ultimate cocktail of MORE guilt, shame, and regret.

You tell yourself you could have used your time better – finished that project at work, truly connected with your loved ones, organized that junk drawer, or even learned a new language! (Insert the world's biggest eye-roll here.)

You don't have to spend your life savings in therapy, take an international flight to a plant medicine ceremony, or even solve every nuance your childhood brought your way.

♥ All those healing journeys can be fantastic! But did you know research shows that unless your body and mind are primed to handle stressors with ease and calm, tools like talk therapy can be more damaging to you? Yup!

♥ Somatics. The root soma means 'of the body,' and the suffix tic means 'relating to a process,' meaning the process of the body.

Somatics is about being aware of what's bothering you and then moving your body in specific ways to change how you feel emotionally, feel physically, and think.

There are over 50 somatic tools; most take under 1 minute to use.

♥ Imagine getting stressed but then having a healthy tool that gets you feeling 100% better in less than 60 seconds! Or, imagine realizing things that used to stress you out are now totally no big deal. You're cool, calm, and collected no matter what the life of a total professional baddie throws your way.

♥ The best part is that the more you use your somatic tools, the more primed your nervous system is to handle stress as if it were a cakewalk.
