No that is not my house, but let’s bring those vibes! 🙌🏼
What if your nervous system is only 10% more braced than it needs to be…
but that 10% is quietly running your life?
Not metaphorically.
Biologically.
Built from years of stacked moments.
Big ones.
Small ones.
Old ones.
New ones.
Moments your body logged even when your mind moved on.
Fear.
Safety.
Self-criticism.
Unworthiness.
Do you notice…
Catching yourself breathing shallow…
and only realizing it when you finally remember to exhale?
Trying to rest…
but your muscles still feel subtly engaged?
Doing plenty of helpful practices — meditation, yoga, therapy — yet something in the body still feels slightly activated?
Making decisions from pressure instead of grounded clarity?
Saying “I’m fine”…
but somewhere inside your body whispers not quite?
Reacting faster than you want to — in decisions, tone of voice, or emotional responses — even when nothing is technically wrong?
The same life patterns returning…
just wearing different disguises?
Or maybe you’re simply, tired.
Your body finally stops moving…
but the mind keeps running.
If the Vagus nerve and nervous system do not believe life is safe,
it will override everything.
It will not let you expand.
Not sustainably.
When your nervous system is in tight command, things simply won’t work. Period.
Not your healing.
Not your supplements.
Not your yoga practice.
Not your sleep.
You can meditate every morning.
You can breathe until you're blue in the face.
But if an emotional or energetic memory is still stored in your system, it doesn’t dissolve simply because we took ten deep breaths.
If that were true, we’d all be healed by now!
The nervous system keeps score.
Safety and fear are the gatekeepers.
Most of us have unintentionally stacked years of low-grade bracing.
This mini-retreat workshop is where we begin unsticking that stack.
Gently.
Intelligently.
The quiet gatekeeper…
What the experience offers
We’ll spend a few quiet hours together in a small group of women at my home overlooking the Gorge.
I’ll be guiding the afternoon as we work with the nervous system.
At the center of the experience is a clinical practitioner-level technique I use in my practice that works directly with dissolving and shifting blocks, problems, old beliefs that we no longer want to hang onto. I’ll help you define a clear and concise situation you want to dissolve and transform the energetic information in the body. (This part is about 30-45 minutes). We verify the result.
When that charge dissolves, the nervous system can finally exhale. Bye, bye, Felicia!
My co-host Lori Lishan will open the afternoon with gentle essential oil work to help settle and prepare the nervous system.
Throughout the afternoon I’ll guide the group through grounding practices and reflective tools that help the body integrate the shift.
There’ll also be simple nourishing touches along the way — herbal tinctures, nourishing beverages, and light healthy snacks to support the body while we work. (Optional of course)
You’ll be working on your own individual challenge inside a safe and structured small group container of women seeking to do energy release work and nervous system calibration.
This is not:
• mindset tricks
• breath-hacking
• journaling your feelings and hoping clarity appears
Instead, the process works directly with:
• body sensation
• emotional charge
• subconscious patterning
This work is:
somatic
visceral
reflective
intelligent
…and surprisingly effective.
There will be warmth.
There will be intelligence.
And there will likely be a moment where you realize,
“Oh… that’s what’s been running.”
There should be some laughter too, I don’t doubt.
Sometimes when the nervous system has been acting like it’s running from a bear…it’s really reacting to spilled oatmeal!
We take the work seriously.
We just don’t take ourselves too seriously.
Comfy clothes welcome.
High-achiever masks optional.
P.S. When I guide the work, you’re not sharing out loud what you’re working on. So if that was possibly concerning you, there’s nothing you are required to share in the group — or say out loud that you aren’t comfortable doing. All of it can remain sacred between you and the skies. It’s safe.
What changes?
You won’t leave “fixed.”
That’s not how real transformation works.
But, you will leave one layer lighter and one problem extinguished.
When we dissolve patterns and emotional charge:
• breath deepens naturally
• top-down and bottom-up communication improves within the body
• you begin to recognize when you need to soften
• regulation becomes more intuitive
• decisions come from clarity instead of urgency
• reactivity decreases
• sleep and digestion improve
• intuition becomes easier to hear
• your relationship with yourself shifts
• moving through life feels more relaxed and proactive
That isn’t poetic language.
That’s physiology.
Did you know that some branches of your vagus nerve are over 500 million years old?
That ancient communication system is still quietly influencing how safe your body feels today.
Shared Wisdom
🌿 A simple understanding of the three neural platforms that influence how you experience the world
🌿 How to identify and modulate your safety markers — body, emotional, and environmental
🌿 How to listen to the subtle communication of the Vagus nerve
What You’ll Leave With
🌿 Practical nervous system resources to add to your everyday wellness toolbox
🌿 A completed and guided breakthrough energy healing session
🌿 Deeper awareness of how your body communicates safety
🌿 A system that feels softer, clearer, and more connected
🌿 A beautiful afternoon away from distractions — and a few small takeaway gifts
🌿 And maybe a new friend or two who understands exactly why you needed the day.
Who The Deep Exhale Is Not For
If you’re currently in acute trauma processing and do not feel emotionally resourced for practitioner guided, quiet reflective group work, this may not be the right container right now.
.
What this is not
This is not trauma excavation.
This isn’t forced vulnerability.
This isn’t a hype-yourself personal development seminar.
This is a practitioner led-structured process used by many therapeutic and somatic practitioners to dissolve stored emotional charge.
It is not tapping.
It is shift work.
The work is gentle.
But, it is real inner transformative work.
The Deep Exhale mini-retreat workshop is for women who crave…
• practical support for peace instead of momentary relief
• protecting their internal harmony
• clearer decision making
• stronger resilience and nervous system resources
• a body that knows how to regulate again
Or honestly…
a reason to gather with womyn
without pretending you’re not tired.
The Invitation
What would your life feel like if your body truly trusted it was safe?
Not conceptually.
Physically.
What might change?
We begin there.
THE DEEP EXHALE…
