nervous system
An immersive weekend workshop for those ready to become their own greatest resource, break free from old patterns, and become conscious creators of their lives.
your foundation
| it’s time to strengthen |
Every life experience revolves around you.
In every facet of life, you are the only common variable. Whether in relationships or pursuing your purpose, acknowledging the central role of you and your nervous system is often the missing link preventing change.
In today's world, the consequences of not understanding ourselves and how our survival physiology impacts us are evident. Many of us grapple with illness, fatigue, stress, fractured relationships, and a sense of disconnection from what truly matters due to constant survival mode (in a spectrum of fight, flight, fawn or freeze).
Furthermore, global crises, mandatory isolation, ongoing conflicts, and economic challenges intensify our primal instincts for heightened vigilance. this heightened state, often operating beneath our awareness, makes it challenging to locate our true selves, especially when we lack clarity about what truly guides our experiences of self and the world.
This is why deepening our self-understanding through our primal wiring (our autonomic nervous systems) is such an essential, life-giving skill today. We need to better understand ourselves to discern what's driving our interactions and transcend the all-too-common drivers of fear and self-protection.
We need to deepen our understanding of how our bodies influence our thoughts, emotions, and actions, and forge a new relationship with how we navigate the world through our attention and perception.

your bodies wisdom
In this immersive weekend workshop, you'll discover how to unlock the potential of your nervous system and harness its power for transformative change. Through a series of experiential exercises and practical teachings, you'll learn techniques to work with your unique nervous system in a conscious and intentional way.
Many of us often long to experience life in a new way.
We crave the capacity and know-how to do things differently – to author our life from a more grounded and conscious place of wellbeing.
If you’re like many of my clients, you want to feel more connected to yourself and others. You want to feel more comfortable and confident in your skin. You want to have more capacity for life’s ups and downs. You crave to be seen, loved, and liberated from your past. You want it all, and who can blame you? You deserve absolutely all of it.
But let’s face it, most of us didn't grow up around people that mirrored what we now want. In fact, the type of self-governance that we crave is still a distant reality for most people around us because of the ineffective programming out there and the intense hustle of our modern world, and all that humanity has faced, especially as of late.
We have little to no sense of what we’re actually trying to do. Like, HOW to actually heal our relationship with ourselves and transform the way we lead our lives. Instead, many of us find ourselves repeating the same old patterns of living in fear over trust, dysregulation over regulation, and self-protection instead of deeper connection. States that although are normal and valid, are likely no longer necessary. Let me show you why and how.
hi, i’m zoey…
I'M A SOMATIC PRACTITIONER, INTEGRATIVE MENTOR, AND TRANSFORMATIONAL FACILITATOR WITH OVER TWO DECADES OF PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE as a holistic practitioner. ULTIMATELY, I’M ON MISSION TO RESTORE COHERENCE, CONNECTION AND POWER WHERE IT BELONGS.
I travelled the world for almost two decades studying and teaching at universities, ashrams, and on the couches of some of the worlds leading minds, but it wasn't until my life took a huge turn that I finally found the real-world solution I had been searching for all those years.
It was my own trauma and experiencing the impact it had on my nervous system, and life, that made somatic healing a non-negotiable modality for me. I would be no where close to where I am today, if it wasn't for this work, and the way it informs my self understanding daily.
It was this powerful alchemy of somatic liberation, and the foundation in which it has provided, that I am on a mission to share with you.
I too want you to know what it's like to come home to yourself, stand in your power, and have the capacity to be in deeper relationship with life and your loved ones without being depleted.

How the Weekend Will Unfold
If you've made it to this point, it's likely you've explored various avenues for personal growth. You've engaged in therapy, enrolled in courses, and sought out coaches, all in pursuit of meaningful change. Yet, despite your dedication, you may have found that the profound shifts you seek have remained just out of reach.
The truth is, many of us require more than solo efforts to catalyze genuine transformation. Drawing from the Polyvagal Theory, a sister science to Somatic Experiencing, we understand the essential role of human connection in rewiring our nervous systems. That's why this workshop is designed to provide the empathic support needed for authentic growth, fostering an environment where you can connect with others on a similar journey.
Through my years of personal and professional experience, I've learned that the deepest change occurs when we embrace body-based approaches. By aligning our body and mind, we create the optimal conditions for lasting transformation to take root. Learning how to work with your nervous system in a masterful way is at the root of what we long for.

testimonials
"Choosing to work with Zoey has been one of the most profound acts of love I have ever made for myself. It has been the bridge between self-healing, introspection, the school of life, and wisdom shared from other healing modalities with other practitioners, into tangible and actionable tools and practices to begin to truly embody both the intellectual and heart-felt knowings. This space of feeling seen, heard, emotionally validated, and safe has helped me anchor into my body, which has allowed me to be in better alignment with my intuition and integrate into further practice how to be here now with an even more open heart."

“I AM NO LONGER STAGNANT. I FEEL LESS GUILT AROUND WHO I AM. IN FACT, I ACCEPT AND LOVE PARTS OF MYSELF THAT I ALWAYS TRIED TO SUPPRESS. I REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT IT IS to TRULY CREATE TIME AND SPACE FOR MYSELF AND HOW MUCH EASIER IT ACTUALLY IS THAN I MADE MYSELF BELIEVE. IT'S BROUGHT ME BACK TO JOURNALING AND MEETING MYSELF WHERE I AM. MY HEART IS FULL OF GRATITUDE, FOR NOT ONLY SIGNING UP FOR THIS JOURNEY, BUT FULLY SHOWING UP. I SHOWED UP FOR THE CIRCLES AND SHOWED UP IN BETWEEN AND NOW THAT WE ARE ON A BREAK, UNTIL THE NEXT ONE, I AM CONFIDENT IN CONTINUING MY JOURNEY ON MY OWN. IT'S A CALM CONFIDENCE, WITH A LITTLE FIRE IN THERE TOO”. I AM SO GRATEFUL.”

"AFTER MY HASHIMOTOS DIAGNOSIS IN 2021 I KNEW I HAD TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO MY MEDICAL TEAM. I HAD A SUPPORTIVE GP, ACUPUNCTURIST, CHIROPRACTOR, NATUROPATH, AND FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGIST; BUT I FELT SOMETHING WAS MISSING. I WAS INSPIRED BY ZOEY’S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH HER HEALTH, AND WAS CURIOUS TO LEARN WHAT TOOLS SHE USED TO HELP IGNITE HER JOURNEY OF HEALING. OVER THE LAST YEAR SHE TAUGHT ME HOW TO LISTEN TO MY BODY, AND WHAT ACTIONS TO TAKE DEPENDING ON HOW I FEEL. WORKING WITH SOMEONE LIKE ZOEY, WHO HAS NO HATE IN HER HEART; TRULY ALLOWED ME TO FEEL VULNERABLE, SPEAK OPENLY WITHOUT JUDGMENT, AND TRUST IN MYSELF WITHOUT FEAR. ZOEY’S INVOLVEMENT IN MY JOURNEY HAS BEEN MORE INFLUENTIAL THAN ANY OTHER RESOURCE I HAVE. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE JOY IN MY WORLD SINCE CONNECTING WITH ZOEY”
