I think we’ve started asking too much of nervous system tools. Not because they don’t work. They do…

A physiological sigh can help shift a moment
Orienting can help bring awareness to your environment
Grounding can help interrupt a spiral

These are valuable tools. But that’s just it they are in the moment tools and the problem is that we’ve started treating them like solutions.

We live in a culture that wants healing to be fast. We want the podcast, the breathing exercise, the sound bath, the supplement, the cold plunge, the workshop, the one thing that finally fixes everything.

So when someone says they’re struggling, we immediately start offering techniques.

Have you tried this?
Have you tried that?
Have you tried breathing differently?

But a nervous system is shaped by experience.
Years of trauma
Years of addiction
Years of loss
Years of surviving things that required adaptation

No single technique is going to undo that. And when we oversell these tools, people often end up believing that if they’re still struggling, they must be doing something wrong.

They’re not.

A tool can help create a moment of safety
A tool can help create a moment of awareness
A tool can help create a moment of regulation

But healing is bigger than a moment, the goal was never to find the perfect technique. The goal is to slowly build the CAPACITY to meet life differently than we could before. And that’s a much longer process than most people want to admit.

Step 7 week 3. Join us in person or on zoom! Please register in advance

Rooted Through Recovery is a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based recovery practice I developed after three decades of trying to heal in spaces that were never built for people like us. It’s a completely original 12-step-inspired framework designed for survivors of trauma, addiction, chronic dysregulation, and anyone who’s rebuilding a life from the inside out.

Our weekly Rooted Through Recovery meetings happen every Sunday at 10 AM, in person and on Zoom.

These aren’t traditional meetings. There’s no hierarchy, no shame, no pressure to share, and no forcing a “one-size-fits-all” model on people whose stories are anything but simple.

Each week we explore the deeper layers of healing through nervous system science, embodiment, reflection, and community connection — honoring the truth that trauma is the root, and recovery grows from safety, self-understanding, and compassion.

If you’re looking for a place where your story isn’t minimized, where your trauma isn’t dismissed, and where your healing is honored as a whole-body, whole-life process, join us.

Group guitar tonight! Music changed my life long before I had language for trauma. Before I understood regulation. Before I could explain why rhythm made my chest feel less tight. I just knew that when my hands were on strings, something inside me steadied.

And the truth is, music as embodied “therapy” is not always accessible. Instruments are expensive. Lessons are expensive. Studio spaces are expensive. So a lot of people who could benefit the most never even get to try.

That never felt aligned with what we built at Rooted.

So this class is donation based. It’s small on purpose. Capped at six so it stays grounded, relational, and aware. All instruments are provided. Guitars, yes. But also on site keys and percussion so we can layer rhythm, build sound, and actually let the sessions come alive instead of sitting rigidly practicing scales.

This is about giving your body somewhere to put the energy. It is about letting sound move what feels stuck. It is about learning in a way that feels human and giving voice to things that maybe we never knew how to.

If you’ve wanted to learn but money stopped you, this is your invitation.

Tuesday nights. 5:30 PM. Ya gotta pre register.

We are changing access, one chord at a time.

Meet Jen!!!! She’s hosting a pop up pride yoga on 6/26 with more to come. We can’t wait!

In her words…..
“After her first yoga class, Jen became fully immersed in the practice. She discovered that yoga nurtures both body and soul, helping to quiet the mind and find a sense of peace. Jen actively studies both the physical postures and the philosophical aspects of yoga. Her teaching style is inclusive and welcoming to all levels, offering a safe and supportive environment. She is an RYT-200. In May 2025, Jen trained with Bee Inspired, completing her 200 hour yoga teacher training and in November 2025, she became certified to teach Trauma-Informed Yin Yoga from Rooted Holistic Center.”

We had to postpone our Yoga Nidra training because I ended up in the hospital. Which means there is still time to join us.

New dates:
August 8, August 9, and August 15
8am–2pm

Everyone loves to market Yoga Nidra as deep rest but few people talk about what happens when someone closes their eyes and their nervous system doesn’t settle.

What happens when the body screams in stillness?
What happens when trauma shows up on the mat?
Because it does. More often than you think.

So, if you’re working with trauma survivors or even folks fighting addiction, join me to see how you can integrate this into your practice This 20-hour Trauma Informed Yoga Nidra Certification focuses on the neurobiology of why this practice works.

We’ll explore what happens in the brain and body during Nidra, how trauma can emerge when the body slows down, how the koshas can be understood as lived experience, and how to guide safely without pushing people beyond their capacity.

This isn’t about just reading scripts, it is about understanding the practice deeply enough to guide it ethically (and without AI)

$375 donation
$100 deposit to hold your spot with final payment due 48 hours before start

*This training includes a certificate of completion for 20 hours of Trauma Informed Yoga Nidra study. Please note that this is not a 200-hour yoga teacher training. Some studios and organizations may require a full 200-hour certification or other credentials in order to teach within their space. While this course is taught through a trauma informed lens and explores the neurobiology of trauma, nervous system regulation, and trauma sensitive facilitation, completion of this training alone does not qualify someone as a trauma informed practitioner in all settings or disciplines.*

Behind me you’ll see what’s left of the flag that has hung outside our center for six years. She’s weathered now. Torn by storms and time. But she’s still here.

Next to her hangs a quote from Ruth Bader Ginsburg: ““Fight for the things that you care about.“ The full quote is “Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”

I was thinking about that quote after our Rooted Through Recovery Step Seven meeting this morning. This month we’re talking about living in alignment with our values. Living in our truth. Not the version of ourselves that was shaped by fear, survival, people pleasing, or shame.

And that’s harder than it sounds.

Many of us learned to become smaller in order to stay safe.
We learned to protect the people who hurt us.
We learned to carry secrets that were never ours to carry.
We learned to stay silent because speaking the truth threatened relationships, families, communities, identities, or entire systems.

Those were survival skills. For many of us, they were necessary. In fact, I shared that I am dealing with this right now in real time, because there is an article that is about to be published that has some uncomfortable truths, and I am shrinking and shame and fear and I want to protect the people who hurt me. So I’ll hurt myself to keep someone else safe, that’s wild.

But eventually there comes a moment when survival and integrity begin pulling in opposite directions. A moment when we realize that protecting everyone else’s comfort is costing us our own lives.

Fear says:
Stay quiet.
Keep the peace.
Don’t make people uncomfortable.
Don’t tell the truth.

Love says:
Tell the truth anyway.
BUT….
Not with cruelty.
Not with revenge.
Not to punish.

But because you matter too.

Everything we do here is rooted in that belief. That healing isn’t becoming someone new. It’s slowly finding the courage to stop abandoning yourself. And sometimes the most loving thing you’ll ever do isn’t protecting the people around you. It’s finally telling the truth about what happened to you.
