ABOUT
RECLAIM your POWER at the intersection of Soma, Science, and Soul.
Meet Zoey
Somatic Practitioner. Nervous System Educator. Embodiment Guide. Mother. Lover.
I’m here to help you build a rooted, resilient foundation inside your nervous system — so you can stop spinning your wheels and start living from a place of embodied truth.
This is the path of remembering.
Of returning to the wisdom already within you.
Of no longer being shaped by what happened to you — but becoming the creator of a new way forward.
Where This All Began
I didn’t arrive here through theory or titles. I arrived because life broke me open — and gave me the chance to be remade.
I was a practitioner, a guide, and a teacher of yoga, wellness, and spirituality. But when loss and grief took me to the edge of myself, no amount of knowledge or practice could fill the gap between what I knew and what I lived.
Despite my years of study, I couldn’t think my way out of survival patterns. I couldn’t perform my way to safety. I couldn’t outrun the bracing in my body. I couldn’t fully lean into the love I felt for my partnership — I needed to learn how to truly share and receive that love.
What saved me was learning to listen — deeply — to my nervous system, my own primal wisdom. To stop outsourcing my power to gurus, modalities, or the next solution, and instead forge a real, living relationship with my body’s truth.
This work didn’t just change me.
It gave me my life back.
It gave me resilience, power, connection, and the capacity to love fully again.
And now, this is what I offer to you.
How I Walk Beside You
You’ve done the work. You know your patterns.
You’ve built awareness — but your body still doesn’t trust it.
You still find yourself:
Bracing in the moments that matter most
Longing for intimacy, but pulling back
Wanting more — but feeling like something inside just won’t let go
I’ve been there. And I’m here to walk with you as you come home to yourself.
Together, we’ll build the inner architecture that lets you hold more love, more vitality, and more impact — without losing yourself.
THE FOUNDATION OF MY WORK
My work weaves together somatic healing, ancestral clearing, attachment repair, parts work, trauma resolution, and nervous system education — all anchored in Polyvagal Theory, embodied practice, and the greater mystery I trust.
I honor the uniqueness of each body, each story, each lineage. We don’t skip the foundations — we return to them again and again with presence, attunement, and deep listening.
Healing isn’t linear. It’s relational. It’s cyclical. It’s a way of living, leading, and loving.

What Guides My Heart & Work
"I am changed for the better — for myself, as a wife, and as a mother.
What I gained… the self-understanding, body awareness, and even language to understand myself better — is beyond anything I could possibly articulate here.”

“One session with Zoey was more powerful than my past five medicine journeys combined.
Zoey somehow makes this deep work so enjoyable and light — I always feel more open and more of who I am after my sessions.”
