This work isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about bringing you back to yourself. Somatic coaching helps you understand your body’s signals, tending to the places that have been bracing for too long. With simple practices and guided presence, you learn how to move from reaction to choice, from overwhelm to possibility.
(This has been a dream of mine for about 5 years now. I’ve spoken about it in my classes and on the podcast, but it’s time to change the tides and birth this creation into the world. It will take time to build but that’s what we’re doing here.)
Once upon a time — and still, in many places — the midwife of the village was not alone.
She was not burned out. She was not running a side hustle to support her healing work. She was lifted up, fed by many hands, and held by the same community she served. She was seen not as a service provider, but as kin, guide, and weaver of the in-between.
This Patreon is a remembering of that model — a return to the logic of the body, the village, and the web that holds us all.
As a barefoot massage therapist, somatic mind-body coach, and motherhood support, my work lives in the liminal: between pain and release, birth and repair, breakdown and integration. It’s sacred work. And like so many in the care economies, it often lives in tension with systems that undervalue softness, demand productivity, and force us into isolation.
This space is a living antidote.
Your support here isn’t just funding “content.” It’s fueling a cultural repair project — one where healing work, creative labor, and relational tending are sustained not by burnout, but by community-powered reciprocity.
🕊 This Is Not Transactional
There are tiers and benefits, yes. But more than that, there is a relationship being tended.
This is a gathering place for those who believe that true healing is slow, relational, and woven through shared responsibility. That those who hold others must also be held. And that we don’t have to do this alone.
Your contribution nourishes the quiet, behind-the-scenes labor of creating somatic content, podcast episodes, and culturally attuned offerings. You’re saying: “I believe this work matters.”
🔥 Tier 2: The Hearth-Keeper – $10/month
For those tending the fire of collective care.
This tier fuels creative fire and structural support — keeping platforms running, time protected, and ideas moving. You’re helping build the conditions for sustainable healing work.
🌿 Tier 3: The Midwife’s Circle – $25/month
For those committed to sustaining the sustainers.
This tier is a sacred exchange — a shared vow to resource the nervous systems, bodies, and spirits of those who hold others. Your support helps keep this work spacious, accessible, and in integrity.
🌕 Tier 4: The Weaver’s Table – $50+/month
For those anchoring cultural repair through patronage.
This tier honors your role as a pillar of this alternative economy. You’re not just supporting the work — you’re co-creating a community model where healing is not withheld by cost, and caregivers are not left to self-sacrifice.
If my work has ever helped you soften, breathe deeper, feel less alone, or return to your own body… I welcome you into my Patreon.
This space is where I’m gathering the people who believe in slowness, in community-supported healing, in tending to the inner world with as much care as we tend to the outer one.
By joining, you’re not just supporting my work—you’re helping build a quiet corner of connection where we tell the truth, honor the body, explore the unseen, and weave a culture of care together.
If you want to be part of the circle that makes this work possible… come closer. Your presence truly matters here.
Remember, a one-word reply to this email does wonders for email deliverability. I also love to hear from the ones reading this. Plus, I like to know I’m not just yelling into a void when I send these. 🙂 You can also like, share, and comment on social media. It all helps us small biz folks.
I’ve been working on some new offerings for the upcoming New Year including a new postpartum package and a massage/coaching package. Stay tuned for more details.
Thank you for being here.
