Simple micro-practices to promote stress relief and calm anywhere, anytime.
Reset burnout and restore energy with customized retreats & workshops designed for your team.
For forward-thinking companies and collaborators in wellness + leadership
Immerse Yourself in the Somatic Movement Experience
These workshops recharge your body, restore your calm, boost focus & productivity.
Rooted in the ancient healing practices from Shiatsu, QiGong, and Breathwork, these workshops and retreats:Â Â
- Release built-up stress and tension to keep your team grounded under pressure
- Calm anxiety and overwhelm so meetings flow with ease and clarity
- Restore natural energy and clarity for collaboration and productivity improvement
I draw on 15+ years of somatic movement and breathwork facilitation. Whether it’s a 90-minute workshop or a multi-day retreat, every experience is designed to reset burnout and restore energy at scale.Â
But these aren’t just “sessions.” You’ll learn and embody the tools you need to keep the momentum going, and receive access to my Got A Minute? digital resource to practice what you've learned daily.Â
Because change doesn’t happen in one workshop. It happens one minute at a time, consistently.
We’re living in a world that’s more burned out, overstimulated, and overwhelmed than ever.Â
Modern life moves fast. Deadlines, meetings, constant notifications, and the pressure to always be “on” leave employees running on empty. The result? Stress, fatigue, brain fog, and sleepless nights — all of which show up at work as lost focus, disengagement, and burnout.
The solution isn’t another complex wellness initiative that no one sticks to.
The solution is simplicity.
Whether through a 90-minute workshop or a one-day retreat, I give your team simple tools to calm stress, sharpen focus, and feel more energized — not just in the moment, but every day.
