Essential Nature

This program built for those who are ready to breathe wild transformation into their lives.  Years in the making Essential Nature weaves somatics, herbalism, and eco psychology into self-healing system rooted in the ecological understanding of our own regenerative nature. Meaning your body already knows how to do this and as we begin to move and heal at the pace of your nature these practices become life long habits.

"A seed neither fears light nor darkness, but uses both to grow."

- Matshona Dhliwayo

What is self-healing?

There is a wisdom held within the very nature of you. One encoded from this Earth into your body. Self-healing asks us to become the stewards of our inner landscape. To listen, learn, trust, and honor our inner seasons and cycles of expansion and contraction. Within the Essential Nature program we are held by the four modules guiding us through our own regenerative healing journey.

  • Our teachings begin with the power of attunement as we cultivate an embodied relationship with our inner compassionate witness, or as I like to call it the sunlight of our awareness. Anchoring into our witness allows us to begin to track the various nervous system states with curiosity and care.

    Topics Covered:

    • cultivating our inner sunlight

    • the biology of trauma and the nervous system

    • seasonal energetics, cycles, and how the Earth heals through regenerative wisdom

    • herbal allies and practices for trauma and nervous system repair

    • embodied herbalism: how to formulate for the needs of your body

    • building self trust through our ventral nervous system state

    • opening up your receptive channel and intuition

  • Now that we have built a firm foundation for ourselves rooted in nourishment, safety and resource we can begin to descend deeper into the soil of our bodies.In this module we take a closer look at our soil, what it holds, how it alchemizes the stories within our internal landscape. We begin to identify the felt sensations of our postures of protection, limiting beliefs, trauma and unconscious patterning held inside our bodies.

    Topics Covered: 

    • the language of your body is sensation and we are learning to listen

    • how to identify defense mechanisms, limiting beliefs, and conditioning vs essential nature  

    • creating a frame for working with our inner child and various parts of our internal ecosystem. 

    • hijack - working with our triggers 

    • building the capacity to be with the not so pleasurable sensations without fear or judgment

  • As we descend into the fertile darkness of our internal landscape we begin to see what is truly operating from under the surface. This module is dedicated to the work of composting. In this ecological somatic practice we begin to work with the textured sensations and charge held in the body, feeling what has gone unfelt, seeing what has gone unseen, and bringing the attunement of our sunlight to the dark corners of our subconscious.

    Topics Covered:

    • somatically composting unfelt feelings and sensations making space for more of you

    • somatic compost practice- getting to know your grief, anger, sadness, joy and pleasure

    • continued attunement with our inner parts

    • emotions as energy in motion

    • feelings as messengers 

    • somatic tracking in the body

  • In our final module of our regenerative healing journey it's time to begin to harvest the seeds, lessons, wisdom, magic and medicine that is your essential nature. We now have all the conditions needed for growth and know how to tend to our inner garden: sunlight, allyship, cultivated soil, compost, and seeds. We explore how medicine moves through you, what gifts and purpose is your inner garden holding?

    Topics Covered:

    • building self trust for our intuition

    • co-creating with spirit

    • walking in the aliveness of your medicine and gifts

    • reciprocity

    • how to harvest the lessons of your embodied knowing

    • ways to cultivate aligned action in self growth

Is Essential Nature right for you?

My deepest intention for this program is that each and every one of you leave here tooled up with an embodied understanding of how to work with your emotions, how to listen to your body, how to use herbs to heal, how to welcome each and every part of you home and how to nurture the seeds of your own becoming with self love.

This program is for you if:

  • you want to shift the cycle of finding yourself in the same limiting belief patterns time and time again.

  • you’re wanting to begin working with herbal medicine for trauma and nervous system repair

  • you’re curious about somatic healing and how the nervous system works

  • you’re ready to grow into new shapes, make big change in your life or feel the pull into the healing arts.

  • you want to feel more connected with your intuition and trust its guidance
