Sometimes you’re excited to try something—and still want to know what you’re getting into before saying yes. 🎧

That’s the starting point for this week’s *Empathy by Design* podcast.

I’m exploring how a single guided Integrated Listening System (ILS) session can give someone a chance to experience the headphones, ask questions, and consider how listening might fit into their life.

This is Somatic UX in practice: making room for someone’s comfort, curiosity, and choices from the beginning.

Your nervous system is listening all day long. But what happens when we become more intentional about what it hears? 🎧

Sound is more than something we hear. It’s part of how we experience our environment, connect with others, and respond to the world around us.

One of the services I offer through Integrate is Integrated Listening Systems (ILS).

ILS combines specially processed music with movement and sensory activities to support nervous-system regulation, attention, and sensory-motor development.

What I appreciate about this work is the opportunity to individualize the experience.

Not everyone needs the same pace, duration, or type of listening.

Some people are curious about support for sensory processing. Others are exploring ways to support attention, regulation, or their capacity to engage in daily life.

I offer consultations and individualized listening programs, including remote options.

Curious about whether integrated listening might be a good fit for you?

Send me a message or schedule a 20-minute consultation.

🌿 Change the Breath, Change the State

What if one of the most accessible tools for supporting your nervous system is something you’re already doing all day long?

Breathing.

But not all breathing practices are the same, and sometimes being told to “just take a deep breath” isn’t particularly helpful.

Join us for a FREE 45-minute online workshop with Sarah O’Brien, LCSW, as we explore how intentional breathing can help us notice, understand, and shift our nervous system states.

Drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Sarah will introduce controlled breathing as a practical skill for emotional regulation, grounding, and building awareness of what’s happening in the body.

✨ Together, we’ll explore:

* The difference between breath awareness and controlled breathing
* How breathing influences nervous system regulation
* When and how to use breathing practices in everyday life
* Small, accessible ways to practice without adding more pressure

Because nervous system regulation isn’t about forcing ourselves to feel calm. It’s about having more choices in how we respond to what we’re experiencing.

✨ What if expression didn’t need words?

Sometimes it begins with a sound.
Sometimes with a color.
Sometimes with movement, curiosity, or simply noticing what we feel.

At Somatic Art Lab, we explore the relationship between sound, creative expression, movement, and the nervous system.

Together, Dr. Anu French and I invite you into a space where creativity becomes a way of listening to yourself, connecting with others, and exploring your experience from the inside out.

No artistic experience needed.
No pressure to perform.
Just room to listen, create, play, and connect.

🌿 Join us November 8 for our next Somatic Art Lab!

Come as you are. Express what words cannot always hold.

Sound as Relationship 🎧

Listening isn’t always about finding calm.

Sometimes it’s about noticing how we’re experiencing the world around us.

A familiar voice. A steady rhythm. A sound that invites movement, memory, or emotion.

Our nervous systems are constantly responding to sound, and those responses can tell us something about our capacity, our environments, and our relationships.

This week’s Integrate Rhythm Note explores listening through three simple practices:

Notice → Move → Express

I’ve also included a short guided listening recording and an invitation to explore sound through creative expression.

You don’t have to change what you’re experiencing to begin building a relationship with it.

Yesterday’s Autumn Nervous System class was so fun! Julia and I taught some basic somatic practices you can adopt for herbs for the nervous and lymphatic system!

Such a blast!

We’re coming back in December for winter practices

10/11/2026

Check out Julia teaching us all about herbs for the lymphatic system yesterday for the Autumn season!!

🍂 What does it feel like to live inside your experience?

Your body is constantly responding to the world around you. Your nervous system and lymphatic system are part of that experience, shaping how you move, adapt, restore, and feel.

Tomorrow, Julia and I are bringing our work together to explore how we can better support these interconnected systems through gentle movement, somatic awareness, and practical tools for everyday life.

Because caring for your body begins with understanding what it’s like to live inside it. 🌿

✨ Autumn Nervous System Workshop
📅 Tomorrow, October 10

There’s still time to join us!

🌿 Two Ways to Support Your Nervous System This Fall! 🎧🍂

What if nervous system care wasn’t another thing to get right, but an opportunity to slow down, get curious, and discover what actually supports YOU?

I’m offering two experiences designed to make nervous system care accessible, practical, and something you can bring into everyday life.

🎧 Listening for the Nervous System — THIS WEEKEND!

https://www.letsintegrate.live/book #/class-schedule/r/1505

Explore the relationship between sound, music, and your nervous system through guided listening, gentle movement, and creative reflection. Bring your headphones and come as you are!

🍂 The Autumn Nervous System at Om Old Orchard at 2:30-3:45 CST

Explore how seasonal changes influence our bodies and discover supportive practices through somatic movement, nervous system education, and seasonal rhythms.

Both experiences are rooted in something I deeply believe:

Nervous system care isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about having choices, building awareness, and finding what works for your body.

✨ No experience necessary.
✨ Participate at your own pace.
✨ Leave with practices you can actually use.

I’d love to have you join us for one or both!
