UNBECOMING HER
“People may call what happens at midlife “a crisis,” but it’s not. It’s an unraveling—a time when you feel a desperate pull to live the life you want to live, not the one you’re “supposed” to live. The unraveling is a time when you are challenged by the universe to let go of who you think you are supposed to be and to embrace who you are.”
~ Brene Brown
When your body keeps the score—but no one can explain the symptoms.
You’ve seen the doctors. You’ve done the tests. Maybe you’ve even gotten a diagnosis—autoimmune, chronic fatigue, migraines, gut issues, vertigo—or maybe you haven’t. Either way, you’re still living in a body that doesn’t feel safe or predictable.
You’re exhausted. Maybe in pain. And you’re tired of being told it’s “just stress” or “all in your head.”
Here’s what I want you to know:
Your body isn’t betraying you—it’s protecting you.
And often, the symptoms no one can explain are deeply connected to the stories your nervous system still holds.
This work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about listening to the signals your body has been sending—maybe for years—and gently unraveling the trauma, patterns, and protection underneath.
This isn’t just about symptoms. It’s about survival.
When your nervous system has been stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn for years, your body takes on the burden.
What looks like pain, fatigue, inflammation, or shutdown may actually be a survival response that’s still running—even though the threat has long passed.
Many of the high-performing women I work with have spent years overriding their bodies.
They’ve been praised for pushing through, for being tough, for doing it all.
But underneath the perfectionism, people-pleasing, and self-sacrifice is a body that’s been holding everything they didn’t have time, safety, or permission to feel.
And when they finally slow down—when the symptoms get too loud to ignore—they’re often met with doctors saying, “There’s nothing wrong. Your tests all came back normal.”
But you know something is off.
Being dismissed doesn’t make it less real. It just adds another layer of pain.
This work supports you in:
Making sense of symptoms your nervous system may be trying to explain
Releasing chronic patterns of stress, shutdown, or survival
Understanding what trauma really is and how it lives in the body
Gently building trust between you and your body again
Learning how to regulate your nervous system and create safety from the inside out
You don’t have to keep bracing for impact.
You don’t have to keep apologizing for how you feel.
Your symptoms are not your fault.
But they are part of your story.
