SUMMARY:Listening Inward\, A Compassionate\, Self-Led Approach to Self-Care and Well-Being.
DESCRIPTION:If you’re feeling the pull to slow down\, quiet self-doubt\, and reconnect with what matters\, you’re welcome to explore what becomes possible when self-care begins with compassion. You know it’s time to care for yourself differently – not by doing more\, but by listening more closely. \nListening Inward – A Compassionate\, Self-Led Approach to Self-Care and Well-Being. \nAn 8 Week Virtual Group Program to Support Your Self-Care \nYou may be at a point where you know\, quietly and clearly\, that something has to change. You’re tired of putting your own plans\, needs\, and longings on hold while you take care of everyone else. \nLet me ask you… \nAre you tired of putting your own plans\, needs\, and longings on hold while you take care of everyone else?\nDo you have an inkling that you have gone along ALL THESE YEARS to get along? \nDo you find yourself wanting to: \nReduce overwhelm and meet your needs with greater calm and confidence?\nStrengthen your trust in yourself and your inner knowing?\nSoften negative self-talk and relate to your inner critic with compassion? \nSelf-care is an outward expression of self-compassion. When we practice self-kindness\, we begin to understand ourselves more clearly – and that understanding naturally flows outward to others. Compassion doesn’t stop with us. It moves through us\, shaping how we relate to our families\, friends\, communities\, and the wider world. \nWhen self-care is rooted in compassion rather than obligation\, it becomes a quiet force for change.\nYou don’t need to be certain — only curious. \nIf you feel a quiet pull toward caring for yourself differently\, this program may be a supportive place to begin.\nYou’ll be invited to explore what truly matters to you and design a self-care blueprint that fits your life — one thoughtful step at a time. \nIncluded in this this 8 week masterclass\nWeekly 75 minutes sessions 7:00pm-8:15 pm ET on Zoom\n1 personal coaching session from May to July 1st.\nThe oracle deck Making the Time\nAn MP3 meditation\nA 200 page blank journal\, Listening Inward\, A Compassionate Self-Care Journal \nRather than following a formula\, you’ll design a self-care blueprint that reflects your values\, your rhythms\, and your real life – supported by a small group and a compassionate\, steady container.

SUMMARY:Somatics and Breathwork in the Helping Profession
DESCRIPTION:Professionals working in helping and caregiving roles are routinely exposed to high levels of emotional demand\, cognitive load\, and nervous system activation.
