“Healing starts with curiosity. Instead of asking, ‘How do I make this tension stop?’ ask, ‘What is my body trying to tell me?’”

This quote deeply reflects my own healing journey. For years, I approached my body as something that needed to be fixed. Something that was betraying me through chronic pain, tension, fatigue, and symptoms I couldn’t always explain. I wanted the discomfort to disappear. I wanted my body to stop sending signals that felt overwhelming and disruptive.

Through my own healing, I began to understand that my body was not working against me. It was actually communicating with me. The pain, tension, and protective patterns I carried were not weaknesses; they were adaptations. They were my nervous system’s way of trying to keep me safe after experiences that had been too much to process.

The shift happened when I stopped asking, “How do I get rid of this?” and started asking, “What is this trying to show me?” I became curious about my sensations instead of afraid of them. I learned to listen to my body with compassion instead of judgment.

That curiosity opened the door to a deeper relationship with myself. I began noticing where I held stress, where I needed boundaries, where I needed rest, and where my body was asking to be supported rather than pushed. Healing became less about forcing change and more about creating safety, connection, and trust within myself.

My journey taught me that the body is not the enemy. It is a messenger. When we learn to listen, we can begin to understand the stories it has been carrying and create space for healing, regulation, and transformation.

Now I have the honor of supporting others as they build a deeper relationship with their own bodies and healing. I’m grateful for this journey and for the community that trusts me to hold space for their own transformation journey.

There are moments when the body asks for more than rest, it asks for release, space, and a return to rhythm.

On July 11th, we are hosting a deeply supportive Breathwave group experience at the wellness center, facilitated by practitioner Lula Plumb

This is a small, intimate group of only 6 people total, designed to keep the container safe, grounded, and deeply personal. As of now, there are only 2 spots remaining.

Breathwave is a guided breathwork journey that works through the nervous system to help unwind held stress, emotional charge, and energetic stagnation. Many people experience it as a reset- physically, emotionally, and mentally, through the power of intentional breath and sound-supported facilitation.

This offering is especially powerful if you are:

* Feeling overstimulated, fatigued, or emotionally full
* Moving through transition, grief, or release
* Looking for a deeper connection to your body and inner clarity
* Wanting a grounded, safe space to process and reset

Because the group is intentionally small, each participant is held with care and presence. This is not a large class setting it is a contained, guided experience designed for depth.

📍The Somatic Healing Center, 1831 SE 7th Ave Portland, Oregon 97214
⏰ July 11th 2pm-5pm
💵 $50 Investment
📲 DM Lula Plumb to sign up and for more info.



✨ Host Your Own Group in the Zen Den

Are you a wellness practitioner, yoga teacher, therapist, or healer interested in offering your own group experience?

The Zen Den is now open for additional group offerings and intimate gatherings. This is a supportive, beautifully held space designed for:

* Breathwork circles
* Somatic or trauma-informed groups
* Yoga or meditation sessions
* Therapy groups or workshops
* Creative or healing-based gatherings

If you’ve been looking for a grounded, professional space to bring your work into community, we’d love to connect with you.

Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s foundational.

We often think of self-care as something we do when there’s time left over. But the truth is, caring for ourselves is what allows us to show up more fully for everything and everyone we love.

When we slow down, listen to our bodies, and honor our needs, we create space for healing, growth, and transformation. We become more present with our families, more grounded in our relationships, and more capable of contributing to our communities from a place of abundance rather than depletion.

Massage is one way to reconnect with yourself. It’s an opportunity to pause, release tension, regulate your nervous system, and remember that your well-being matters too.

Your body carries so much. It deserves care, attention, and support.

Life always has a way of sending me the medicine I need ✨💫 Like many of us with the fear of being seen, heard, and recognized much of my own healing has been reprogramming the beliefs that I need to hide parts of myself in order to stay safe in this world. Building my own business(es) has helped me to gain confidence in myself and continues to do so. I’m so grateful to be in an era that women, and women of color can become that expansive vision of themselves. We do this by showing up for each other and sharing that spark of inspiration that ignites the energy to dream big and break barriers.

Be sure to check out this calendar on IG which features women founders in Portland, Oregon. All purchases go towards grants and initiatives for businesses owned by women of color. 💕

Happy 6th Birthday to Somaflow Health and Massage 💞 I never imagined I would have my own business, but to see it and my own wellbeing thrive over these years has been a journey of not only expansion (some of the good things you might see on the internet) but equally the grit of overcoming the challenges of having a small business and also being a bodyworker. There have been times I worked 6-7 days a week as late at 10pm wearing all the hats of at least 5 different people, and there were some days years ago I couldn’t get out of bed because I was in pain from so much physical and energetic labor. I didn’t give up, but allowed these difficult times to be my teachers. I learned my own boundaries and the importance of saying “no” in my personal and professional life if something was energetically draining me or distracting me from my wellbeing. I began training my body and creating healthy habits to sustain this lifestyle including sobriety, a high protein diet, strength training, and healing my circadian rhythm. There is so much under the tip of the iceberg when it comes to running a successful business and doing bodywork. I realize it not for everyone and I am grateful for my endurance to stay positive, creative, and resourceful. I deeply believe in this work and other traditional, intuitive somatic healing practices because it’s been the foundation of healing my own trauma and I’ve seen it as the turning point for so many others. I am hoping to add an employee or 2 in the very near future so I can put more energy into other projects including coaching work and my line of wellness products. Grateful for this journey 🌈✨
