The Way of Becoming

🌤 Thank you for being a part of this journey of body-based healing intelligence, with The Way of Becoming and The Body Intuitive Method ⚡️

I would love to invite you to stay connected for somatic wisdom and guidance or somaticemergence.com 🌱

Deepening our connection with the body is how we repattern a brighter future and regain a sense of possibility and hope in a world of overwhelm.

I am facilitating in-person somatic healing work as well as virtual, with somatic workshops in Denver and more retreats and content coming online soon.

I would love to hear from you and how your relationship with this innerscape of beingness has evolved in this time. We have all been asked to listen more deeply to find those rhythms and the awareness to anchor and ground into during this time.

I specialize in working with CPTSD, burnout, overwhelm/ADHD and healing these wounds of relationship, starting with relationship to our lifelong companion (the body) and who we are becoming through this journey.

If you are a practitioner or healer in the field, I would love to connect. We thrive in 2025- together ☁️

What is a truly "feminine" medicine practice?

I am not interested in polarity work -as a disclaimer- unless there is a nuanced understanding of depolarizing the dominant biases we participate in in spiritual circles.

However, try as I might to engage the litany of methodologies of healing, to attain more mastery of the many I've studied, my guidance system always leads me to let go of allll of that and return here.

Belly to Earth.

The breath.

Quiet mind.

Listening, holding, feeling.

So simple.

So challenging.

We need some hole to poke into, to fix with nailing another technique and maintain the almost religiousity of healing as effort. No.

This has been my main teacher. Relinquishing healing completely.

Belly to Earth.

Simply being organism, not feminine or masculine but as intact and mindless as a starfish just crawling and flaccid, baring and breathing a bellyfull of vulnerabilities to the Earth.

And then....the rush of sweeping new sensations, a malestrom of connection and the sensory wellspring of life within and without.

We don't need plant medicine to live here. To be held here. Though it is a glancing portal.

No. This medicine is "replanting" ourselves .here.

How much nature is a feedback system for the deeper attunement of my approach to healing..

What a gift when the barren landscape bursts into life. For the moment, throwing off the skins of separation and the desert of our disquieting survival to be received, to belong to the bird song and body of life becoming.

🏖

Every day this field of vibrational innocence -this field of electromagnetic love- the same love that shook Permian era sand into spires of rock also shapes me.

I hike in weekly half submerged walking up a creek to a spring to tap the source. I cannot say in words what transpires. Yet this purity is occluding all else. Like the arc of the sun, the transmission is chartered moment by moment as each wave oscillates anew.

This preciousness.

If you are wondering, seeking,
it is here.

I have thyroid cancer 💔

If I whispered in your ear speaking poetry
Of what it is to heal
Know my feet once again
Beat, stomp, defiant
To feel the way
That tender path of knowing
Healing is arrival home.

Before the last day of our
Retreat in May,
"Open to Love"
I found myself quieting.
Disquiet.

My body's own firm voice
Clear, wise
"I have something to tell you...

Before going forward...Listen."
The torrential rain, the eery absence
Of the electrical hum
My candles burned as I sat with wave
Upon wave of burning in my heart
Gazing out to Madre Volcano Atitlàn.

I contacted my inner baby, inconsolable.
A baby in the night screamed
As my body shared its deepest trauma.

I found myself in front of the mirror
Finding my fingers tracing my neck.
"I have cancer."

The terror, rage reflected
As I looked on, seeing the wildness
Tangled. The primal life of a body
The depth of an ocean exposed.

A fear, I've only witnessed in
The bulge of eyes driven to life
In that roadside buck I coaxed to sleep.
...

I will not go to sleep.
I will not close to life.
I am here to live fully.

I'm sorry if I dropped off after
Sharing such beautiful space with
You in the retreat.

I have thyroid cancer.
Two days after I cancelled my
Programs
The morning of my birthday it was confirmed.

The irony ...is not lost to me.

I love you and aim to share when I can
This winged heart surrender
And opening to love.

With every beat of these wings...
I trust. I trust. I trust 🕊

If you would like to support,
I would be so grateful 🙏

💥This is a RADICAL shift in thinking.

Consider all the ways you've been conditioned to shut off from your own body instincts.

You might have experienced this in friends' or family's response to the ways you follow your intuition more than other people's data in living your life.

The thing is - the body holds our own experiences and perceptions, so it too is often blocked by our thoughts of fear, mistrust, disconnect and judgement.

🌷To awaken the body's ability to heal itself is to step into loving partnership with self.

In the upcoming retreat, we'll go deep into this topic.

It isn't a two step process.

The path of working intuitively with the body and healing ourselves is about your emergence into a new state of awareness.

If you have a sensitive body, reactive symptoms - it might be in part because your body is seeking your love. Your witness and a new partnership of trust.

🌿Let me know your what you think in the comments below!

🌱I've been having a lot of conversations pre retreat with people who have been transforming lifelong trauma and chronic health issues.

I've been in these conversations for the last decade.
Witnessing again and again the same pattern.

To shift our symptoms is to shift our relationship with the body.

It is to shift our fundamental relationship with opening to 'core self.'

I really believe that it isn't just about the trauma, it isn't just about your sensitivity or your immunity, your habits or the toxicity of food.

Yes to all of those things.

AND... maybe your body is trying to heal itself. Maybe the intelligence of your own Earthen form is dredging up everything it wants you to see from a new state of awareness.

Because your body is waking up.

Just like the Earth.

If we can witness what is - in a way that reconnects us to love, body symptoms can be the carrion call, the instigating force of our own transformation. 🦋

🌿 The free Body intuitive retreat starts Monday!

Could it be that this experience is an opportunity for your emergence as yourself?

🍁

👉No one tells you that . . .

* healing is not about what you do -
* it's not about how hard you try -
* healing is not even something you can expect.

Healing, to be 'whole' is an inner path - a nonlinear process to come into relationship with the totality of who we are.

So if you've been seeking a solution - a means of alleviating symptoms of illness, loss, trauma, heartbreak . . . my message to you is on the path of healing, you cannot fail.

Because your healing was never about fixing something wrong - but the ultimate balancing path in discovery of your innate birthright state of being 🦋

------

Join me for the foundational course in self-healing, the Body Intuitive Retreat starting May 10th and going to May 16th.

🗝 MY SECRET AGENDA

The truth is, my motivation with this work is pretty biased.

I'm here to support others in reconnecting to the magic of the animate world because intuitive connection with the body and the Earth is my habitat.

I also secretly want to join a legion of people who know how to tend to the Earth energetically.

I wish to experience a round table of wise intuitive whose path of mastery is the holy grail of opening to the Beauty of the (body's) Earth's love 🌳

The Way of Becoming is also my own curriculum - of maturity to realize innate wholeness within. I'm not there yet, but becoming is an ever unfolding evolution.

As a child, I felt the magic. I knew the language of twinkling stars and I felt the possibility of life.

🌟My North Star is this magic. We already are it - the holy odyssey however, is the joy of discovery.
