Most people are living in a state of high-functioning depletion. They’re functioning, producing, caregiving, performing, but internally they feel overstimulated, tense, exhausted, or disconnected from themselves.

For many people, the problem isn’t a lack of information. It’s that their body no longer feels safe with pressure.

Why I built this work

I founded Homegirl Consulting after years of noticing the same pattern across very different populations.

I worked with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, cancer survivors, neurodivergent individuals, and people navigating chronic stress and trauma-related overwhelm. Again and again, I saw how traditional wellness spaces often asked people to override their bodies instead of listen to them.

Push harder. Stay disciplined. Ignore discomfort. Optimize everything.

But many nervous systems (especially those carrying trauma, chronic stress, illness, or sensory overwhelm) don’t heal through more force. They heal through safety, pacing, and internal trust.

My personal connection to this work

As someone living with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), I understand what it’s like to navigate a body that requires a different relationship to movement, energy, and recovery. That experience deeply shaped how I approach wellness.

I became less interested in performance and more interested in sustainability:
How do we support the body instead of constantly trying to “fix” it?
How do we create routines that work with the nervous system instead of against it?
How do we stop treating rest as something that has to be earned?

Those questions became the foundation of my work.

My approach

My work combines three evidence-based modalities:

Restorative movement to regulate the nervous system through the body
Internal Family Systems (IFS) to work with internal parts and resistance
Behavioral structure to support sustainable change in real life

The goal isn’t optimization. It’s helping people feel more at home in themselves: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

How I work

Physically, we use prop-supported, floor-based movement to help the body shift out of survival mode. Mentally, we use parts work to understand the internal patterns that create overthinking, self-pressure, perfectionism, and resistance.

The focus is always the same: not more effort, but more ease.

Outside of work

When I’m not coaching or teaching, you can usually find me on an “awe walk” in nature (most often with my Vizsla, Mabel) or enjoying the quieter sides of life: reading, cooking, climbing into bed early. I’m a big believer in slow, grounded movement, vintage dog names, and the power of a really good bolster.
