workshops, classes, + events

Creative, communal spaces for healing, learning, and connection.


It also happens in community. Our workshops and classes offer warm, brave spaces to explore your nervous system, creativity, identity, and transitions through the seasons of life.

Whether you're preparing for birth, navigating the shifts of early motherhood, or simply seeking a grounded place to reconnect with yourself—there’s space for you here.

We believe that healing doesn't always happen in one-on-one therapy,

Nervous System Support + Somatic Workshops

Get to know your nervous system—and how to care for it with compassion. These classes combine body-based practices with real-life tools to help you move from stress and survival into more regulated, resilient ways of being.

Monthly Mom Circle

Motherhood can be beautiful—but also overwhelming, isolating, and full of transitions that don’t always get the space they deserve. That’s why we created the Monthly Mom Circle—a free virtual gathering for mothers to feel seen, supported, and gently reconnected to themselves and one another.

Led by our founder and somatic therapist, Tesa Emmart, LCPC, LMHC, SEP, PMH-C, this group offers a soft place to land each month. Whether you’re navigating the early postpartum months, toddlerhood, school-age shifts, or simply seeking community, this circle is for you.

Each session blends reflection, optional sharing, and body-centered tools designed to support your nervous system and your sense of self. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out—just space to show up as you are and leave feeling a little more grounded, a little more connected, and reminded that you’re not alone.
