The Physical Toll
Chronic exhaustion, back tension, or a headache that will not go away—even after enough sleep. Your body is saying what your mind is trying to ignore.

SOULDOMES
You can know all the reasons to slow down and still find it hard to feel safe enough to do so. SoulDomes is a place to put down the armour, listen to your body, and belong without having to prove anything.
The quiet signals
There is nothing wrong with you for feeling the weight of what you carry.
Chronic exhaustion, back tension, or a headache that will not go away—even after enough sleep. Your body is saying what your mind is trying to ignore.
Anger or tears arrive over something small. You are startled by your own reaction, then ashamed that it happened at all.
You reach the milestone—the promotion, home, anniversary—and wonder why you cannot quite feel it. There is more to life than the next achievement.
A memory, scent, or date brings sorrow rushing back. The loss was not processed; it was carried quietly while life moved on.
You do not need to be repaired. You need room to feel.
What is really happening
You may understand why rest matters and still find your body braced for what comes next. Knowing is one thing; feeling safe enough to soften is another.
Meeting everyone else’s expectations can leave little room to hear your own needs.
Living in your head while your nervous system stays stuck in fight-or-flight.
Staying busy to avoid feeling the pain only lets the pressure build.
Judging yourself for not being ‘over it’ isolates you even further.

Meet your guide
I’m a professor and somatic practitioner, and a woman finding my own footing in the beautiful chaos of moving to Morocco—the country where my husband’s roots lie. I walk beside women in the messy middle of change, not ahead of them with all the answers.
My path to this work began in loss. After losing our first daughter, I tried to think my way through grief. Journaling. Talking. Logic. I needed those things, but I also needed space to feel what my body was carrying.
That journey led me into somatic science: how the body carries stress and emotion, and how it can find more ease with safety and care. I bring my academic curiosity together with trauma-sensitive yoga—not to repair anyone, but to make room for what is true.
I was born on a farm, where the land taught me another rhythm: growth cannot be forced. SoulDomes brings that connection to nature and the body into accessible, trauma-sensitive spaces. Here, grief can be met with presence rather than productivity. You do not have to perform wholeness to belong.
“Belonging is not a place you find. It is something you build from the inside.”
The signature method
A body-centered pathway through emotions. Not a performance.
Create a container of safety. Pause the autopilot and notice what your body is doing.
“I am safe to pause.”
Move from suppressing to witnessing. Translate the body’s language without judging it.
“My body is allowed to feel.”
Interrupt the survival loop. Use polyvagal tools to shift out of fight, flight, or freeze.
“I soften into the present moment.”
Complete the stress cycle. Allow trapped energy to discharge safely.
“I let go of what I can no longer hold.”
Install new patterns. Choose responses that align with your values, not your fears.
“I trust the unfolding of who I am becoming.”
