Getting to the Root of Healing
QUARTERLY YEAR-ROUND COHORTS
A 6-Class Online Journey Back to Yourself
Offered quarterly, this six-class live online series is an invitation to come home to your body.
Many of us were never taught how to understand our emotions, calm our nervous system, or how to stay present when life feels overwhelming. Instead, we learned to cope, to push through, or to shut down.
This series offers something different. It offers a way to pause and listen. All that has happened in our lives is held in body memory by our nervous system.
When trauma hasn’t been processed, it shapes the way we experience and respond to life.
Our beliefs about ourselves become the story of our lives. Sometimes, the old stories no longer work, and we need new pathways that reflect our values, allowing us to journey in life with awareness, integrity, and love.

Course: Alchemy for the Soul
ANNUAL ONGOING COHORTS
A Path of Initiation — The Journey to Know Thyself
This is not a beginner’s course. It is an advanced spiritual initiation designed to strip away the conditional identities, survival strategies, and attachment masks we learned in order to belong.
Alchemy for the Soul follows the ancient path of initiation through the Tree of Life — the Yoga of the West — guiding you sphere by sphere from Malkuth to Kether. This is sacred technology: a process of purification, refinement, and remembrance.
Through rigorous self-inquiry, embodiment practices, and psychospiritual integration, you will dismantle inherited patterning and confront the structures that once protected you but now limit you.
This is the work of removing the masks.
This is the path of awakening the Divine Pattern within — not as concept, but as lived reality.
For those ready to enter the deeper mysteries and reclaim the unconditioned self.

Course: Advanced Embodiment Journey
LIVE COHORT STARTING IN APRIL!
The Journey from Spirit to Body.
Year-Long Practitioner Certification
This is more than a training — it is a year-long return to the origins of life.
Together, we explore preconception, womb development, birth imprint, and early attachment as living imprints carried in the nervous system. Blending pre- and perinatal science, somatic practice, and depth psychology, this cohort-based journey invites practitioners to understand how our earliest experiences shape how we love, lead, parent, and practice.
Meeting 2.5 hours at a time over the course of one year, we move steadily through the developmental arc of creation — from ancestral field and conception to birth integration and relational shaping.
Designed for therapists, bodyworkers, birth professionals, craniosacral practitioners, somatic educators, and trauma-informed facilitators, this training is for those who feel called to work at the roots.
The aim is not knowledge acquisition — but embodied mastery.
Graduates leave able to:
• Track nervous system states with clarity
• Facilitate regulation and co-regulation
• Understand pre- and perinatal trauma integration
• Work skillfully with developmental timelines
• Teach foundational embodiment practices
• Lead from coherence rather than reactivityThis is advanced work. It asks you to meet your own origin story — and emerge steadier for others.

Live Workshops
Held Locally in Charlottesville, VA
These in-person gatherings are the embodied heart of our work.
Offered as 3-hour workshops, evening intensives, or half-day weekend immersions, these experiences invite you out of the mind and into the body — into a living field of presence, rhythm, and connection.
Each workshop is experiential. Together we practice:
• Guided RAIN processes
• Somatic awareness and nervous system tracking
• Movement flow and breath practices
• Qigong and energetic regulation
• Partner-based co-regulation exercises
• Working with the “waters” of the body
• Grounded settling practices for lasting integrationThe focus is not intellectual understanding — it is lived integration.
Participants experience the power of community coherence, relational nervous system repair, and safe emotional processing within a well-held group field. Through carefully guided exercises and appropriate, consent-based interaction, we cultivate steadiness, trust, and embodied clarity.
These workshops are where the teachings come alive — where theory becomes felt sense, and learning becomes transformation.
A space to regulate.
A space to reconnect.
A space to practice being fully human — together. -
Mentorship in Birth Psychology
Learn the psycho-somatic-spiritual birth imprints from our journey from womb to world.
Advance your practice through individualized mentorship in pre- and perinatal psychology and embodied trauma integration.
This mentorship includes case study review, session consultation, and the opportunity to review recorded client sessions (with consent) to refine your clinical presence, nervous system tracking, and developmental understanding in real time.
Together, we explore early life imprints, psychosomatic patterns, and relational dynamics as they emerge in your work. You’ll receive direct feedback, nuanced guidance, and support navigating complex cases with greater clarity and steadiness.
This is not simply supervision.
It is refinement of the practitioner.Through ongoing dialogue, embodied inquiry, and practical application, you will strengthen your capacity to hold developmental trauma, facilitate regulation, and lead from coherence rather than reactivity.
For professionals ready to deepen their skill, confidence, and embodied authority.
