“Our body holds primal feminine wisdom. When we are regulated, it becomes the vehicle for deep internal work, for emotional release & healing. ”
If you want to ‘heal’ a frazzled nervous system, inflammation, pain, exhaustion, reactivity, old habits, fractured relationships…you have to learn to safely and skillfully ‘feel’.
Our bodies hold tremendous amounts of unprocessed emotion, tension & stress. It’s not at all surprising that many of us are ‘on fire’ so to speak. Or feeling confused, misunderstood, burnt out…
I mean, did any of us receive an education when we were younger on how to tend to our emotional operating system? How to build and maintain a robust nervous system? How to identify our neuro chemistry and flow with it rather than struggle against it? The majority of us - likely not.
And yet - our health depends on it.
Investing in your own ‘nervous system regulation’ and learning the skills necessary to stay present with your feelings without becoming overwhelmed is vital to your overall well being.
When you soften the critical ‘left brain’ for a time, you’re able to turn inwards and more deeply connect with yourself, to felt sensation. Sensation IN your body. You follow what feels good without having to judge it ‘good’, or ‘bad’. You can intuitively move, follow shapes of nature, find your own unique rhythm ~ and cultivate the balm that YOUR body needs.
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is practiced and mastered. It doesn’t just happen because we’re adults. Emotional autonomy is something we invest in mindfully. Something we devote ourselves to. A skill that can transform your life and health.

The benefit of this immersion being offered online…
Your space and environment impacts you greatly! When your exploring intuitive movement and somatic therapy, privacy is key. To feel safe and unobserved helps you drop deeper into yourself and feel comfortable to find your own rhythm, the way your body wants to move and express without feeling nervous or worried about what anyone else is doing or thinking.
This is also largely why my MENTORING SESSIONS are by phone without the use of screens. Privacy is imperative to healing. For those of you who have done any birth preparation with me - you would’ve heard me say MANY times , “for a women to birth her baby she needs to feel private”. Same concept here…for us to give ourselves what we need, feeling private is immensely helpful.
Also, your own space can be set up the way you like it. With candles burning or not, a sheep skin or blanket, window open or window closed, essential oils filling the space or nothing at all….etc.
This immersion is for you if?
Healing is a priority.
You’re ready to cultivate true presence & self awareness.
You long to move your body in an exploratory ‘feminine’ way, rather than prescriptive.
Being guided by the laws of nature feels charming.
You’re ready to feel and process emotion, safely and gently.
You want to improve your relationships.
You’re tired of feeling on edge and overwhelmed.
Your nervous system is ready to be deeply nourished - long term.
You want to experience Somatic yoga.
You want to know how to make decisions without always second guessing yourself.
You want to change negative habits.
Building self confidence is important.
You want to feel calm and happy more of the time.
You want to understand how and why your neuro chemistry drives your behaviour.
You enjoy being held in an emotionally safe container.
This immersion is NOT for you if:
You prefer strictly guided movement.
You don’t particularly like flowing with your own rhythm, but like to be given a rhythm.
You aren’t ready or interested in processing emotion.
Somatic therapy is not appealing.
Working with energy is not your thing.
You don’t like online facilitation.
“Hi Lauren, I just did my session with the recording. I absolutely loved it and am so grateful to have the next few weeks with you. I had a panic attack on Thursday and this session really resonated with me - the timing is perfect. I don’t usually have them and it really frightened me, I am feeling such self love and calm now. The facial massage brought on fat heavy tears and the release felt so so good.”
