Hi from

Brea

I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a nervous system enthusiast and love talking about all things nervous system, emotions, and Polyvagal Theory. My passion is helping women like you connect with and support your nervous system, while cultivating embodied emotional well-being.

I believe our bodies, nervous systems, and emotions hold immense wisdom, often sending us valuable messages. By learning to be present with our bodies, we can feel more embodied, empowered, and connected in everyday life. As a mother and woman, I’m dedicated to helping others build a healthier relationship with their body and create deeper, more meaningful connections in your everyday life.

📖 BURNOUT: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by @enagoski @amelianagoski

Several years ago when I was first introduced to this book by these amazing authors on Brène Brown's podcast I remember my mind was blown🤯

These two women so powerfully and profoundly explained my own inner experience and struggle with Stress and feeling emotions so accurately! It really became another catalyst in my own journey of coming to know myself better, especially the parts of me I'd struggled for years to hold space for and listen to.

I also loved that in their writing they shares tangible practices and ways of completing our Stress Cycle that so many of us already intuitively do because our bodies guide us there.

How often do you feel called to be in nature, the mountains, near water, surrounded by trees? Your Nervous system and body need this connection to help support the completion of your Stress and threat response cycles. This is a form of co-regulation, with the rhythm of nature.

How often do you long to connect to a close friend, to be reminded you aren't alone and to witness and be seen by them? Co-regulation is the best way to help your nervous system return to a state of connection and recharge.

How about going for a walk, doing yoga, dancing in your kitchen? Emotion/Stress is energy moving through our body. All these practices help us move the emotions through our system and integrate them supporting the completion of our Stress Cycle.

This book reaffirmed for me how important it is to listen to the whisperings of our body. We often already know what we need, what we really need is to witness, listen and take action towards the completion of our Stress Cycle and guiding our Nervous System back to connection, support and safety.

Have you read this book??? What did you think of it??⬇️

***I'm going to read it again! I know I'll see it with different eyes this time and can't wait for what I discover and learn about myself and others♡

Hello and Welcome!

I'm so glad you're here and you found me in this little nook of the internet. It really means so much that you've chosen to arrive♡

I'm Brea. An embodiment coach who incorpates somatic exploration, integration and experiencing into my work with women through a poly-vagal trauma informed lense.

I focus on supporting you in building more somatic literary and connection with your embodied experience. Together, you'll be invited to notice and sense into your body in intentional ways that will gently foster nervous system re-patterning through the completion of your body's stress and threat responses (flight, fight and freeze).

I currently have 2 - 1:1 session spaces open for new clients and invite you to reach out if you have any questions and if you'd like to see if the process of somatic support would help you in having more access to the full range of your nervous system and more embodied presence in your everyday life♡

✨️Magic Connects✨️

I want to let you in on a little secret......

You know those incredible friends you've surrounded yourself with! The ones who light up your day simply by sending a text, calling to say they were thinking of you, or meeting up for a favorite latte to chat?

The friends you maybe wonder how you got so lucky to find, and you maybe even wonder sometimes why they choose to be your friend? You sometimes even wonder what you could possibly have to offer them?

The friends we think are just the coolest people, doing the most amazing things, and you consider yourself blessed to get to be one of their main cheerleaders in life?

You know all those amazing friends you have in your life? The reason they're in your life isn't because they're so amazing (though I'm sure they are, because that's how I feel about all my friends too!), the reason they are your friend is because YOU'RE SO AMAZING!!!

They see you with the same eyes you see them!

What you view as mundane in yourself, they see as your ✨️MAGIC✨️! That's why they choose to be your friend, that's why they show up for you, that's why you matter to them......because you too are ✨️MAGIC✨️ and they know it! And they feel it!

I think our ✨️MAGIC✨️ connects us! I dont think our friends who deeply love us stay to take care of us (though they are probably happy to show up when we need them), I think they feel our ✨️MAGIC✨️ and they connect with it, and know having our ✨️MAGIC✨️ in their lives makes them better and their lives better, and they wouldn't want to do the mundane of life without your ✨️MAGIC✨️ in it♡

Tag your ✨️MAGIC FRIEND✨️ below ⬇️ and let them know what ✨️MAGIC✨️ you see in them. You might just bring a little ✨️MAGIC✨️ to their day♡

**This was all inspired by @drscottlyons Genlty Used Human Podcast episode E81 Redifining Success with @heylgo ♡

//What will you see here on my little spot of IG:
(Some unfiltered thoughts)

💥Witnessing your wholeness! You are already whole! You aren't broken and you don't need fixing! Maybe you need some support, maybe you need some compassion and encouragement, maybe you need to know you aren't alone.....I'm here for all of that! You, though you are already magic! You're already enough! And you are whole exactly as you are♡

💥Honoring of your unique journey embracing your wholeness. There's enough voices in this world and enough voices in our lives giving their opinions and telling us what they think we "should" do, and I'm just here to say, "Not here!" You don't need me to tell you what to do because your wisdom lives inside you, inside your body. What I will do is be beside you, listening and inviting you to connect back to the wisdom within your own body, your own soul, yourself. I believe there's power in walking alongside one another as we navigate struggles and triumphs in life, I'm just not interested in nor do I believe in walking infront of any of the women I work with, because you are leading your own life.

💥I value accessibility and I value being in service. I also value money and sustainability in my own life, so while I do charge for my offerings and work, I also value your money and your sustainability. I'm not interested in believing my work is so valuable it's too valuable for those who can't afford it. I do want my offerings to be accessible. And when I price what I offer I do it with both me and you in mind. I also always offer space for those who my pricing might be unaccessible to, because my deepest value in the work I offer is service and I'm ok to say that. I've done lots of work around money, bussiness and my values. And TBH I'm tired of the message in the coaching world that if I haven't priced my work way out of others' reach, it means I don't value myself, that's bullsh*t! And I'm ok saying that! Just like I'm not going to tell others what to do, I'm also not going to let an industry tell me what to do;).

Thanks for being here with me♡
I hope you find encouragement here.
I hope you find compassion and hope.
I hope you find what you need♡

**February Thoughts**

I'm trying something new this year.

I heard a quote recently about how when we choose what is successful to us, it has the most power and impact in our lives, instead of letting others tell us what success should look like or be.

So what did my successes look like in February:

•wrapped up my first 6 week Somatic Connection Series at Mindful Somatics Wellness. As I flow my work more into Somatic Support in varies ways this felt like a huge step toward that and a huge success on it's own! I faced alot of fears and uncertainties navigating this class and I was really able to reflect up how much growth and learning I've really applied into my life.

•completed Phase 3 of the Embodied Trauma Skills for Caring Professionals Training I started 10 months ago! I've met so many parts of myself in this training and I'm so proud of myself for staying open and curious and holding space for myself when that felt really really hard and I needed to not do it either. Meeting our Nervous System is not always easy or comfortable, but it can be so insanely healing, informative and empowering!

•intentionally still choosing to rest! February is a tough month, I noticed myself really wanting to get through the discomfort of the cold by "doing" things, and I had to have some serious convos with myself about truly pausing and being with myself through the ends of winter. I found intentional ways to slow down that also felt very nourishing in the midst of a traditionally really "dark" month. I faught the urge to bypass all the discomfort and found ways to support myself to still really feel and experience my own winter in preparation for my spring!

•I found nature in unexpected and restoring ways! I paused to feel the sun on my face. I took extra time to stare at plants and moss and the greenery I came into connection with. I spent time dropping in elements of nature in my own way while still staying with winter.

•I reminded myself the discomfort and pain doesn't last forever. Lessons as winter wraps up and spring slowly peak her head out♡

As I was driving home tonight I started thinking of the women in my lineage, my family, my ancestors who went before me and in their own unique, maybe mundane to them, but magical and inspiring to me paved the way for my life.

I thought of my Grandma Betty who became a nurse, who wanted to work and contribute to her world and share her gifts and passions with others through her knowledge and care. Who faught hard to have a voice in a world that tried to dampen it, and who fiercely valued her education and value in this world, despite a world that didn't often see it. She didn't need this world to believe in her, she believed in herself! She was fierce in her way!

I thought of my Grandma Stella, she oozed with creativity and resourcefulness! She didn't allow the world to stop her from sharing her passion so fiercely with EVERYONE she met! She owned her talents and shared them with everyone her path crossed! She could take needles from a pine tree and weave them into baskets! And I don't know but that kind of talent and determination and dedication has always inspired me! She found a way to express her voice in her own way, despite a world that tried to hide her voice away! She didn't play the victim in a world that maybe tried to push her there, she owned her strength, she owned her incredible skills, she owned her wisdom and she found her unique way to shine through all the cracks in her life! She was fierce in her way!

I thought of my mom, who valued her mental health and well being when the world told her it didn't care! She faught hard to heal her mind and soul and didn't stop, even when others said she should. She fiercely chose to tend to her wounds, even when she felt all alone! And then she went on to obtain her degree and then masters in her 40s and rebuild her life in the way she'd always wanted! She was determined, dedicated and audacious, and chose her own wellbeing again and again to help support others to be able to choose theres! She was fierce in her way!
