Blue Vervain is one of those herbs I think about when the nervous system feels tightly wound — when there’s a lot of mental activity, muscular tension, over-efforting, or difficulty settling.

As a tincture, it gives us a really practical way to talk about something bigger: herbs don’t just have a list of “uses.” They contain different constituents, act through different mechanisms, and can support different nervous-system patterns depending on the person and the context.

This Saturday, we’re going to explore a few tinctures together, talk about some of their mechanisms, and look at how herbal support can fit into a broader approach to soothing and supporting the nervous system.

If you’ve been curious about how herbs can be used more intentionally — beyond simply saying “take this for stress” — come learn with us.

✨ Somatic Art Lab Recap ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our recent Somatic Art Lab. 💛

We spent time exploring creativity not as something we have to perform or get “right,” but as a way to notice, express, and work with what is happening in the nervous system.

Through art, sensory experience, and gentle reflection, we created space for curiosity, connection, and regulation — letting the process matter more than the finished product.

Somatic Art Lab is part of our ongoing exploration of how creativity can support nervous system awareness and help us reconnect with ourselves in ways that don’t always require words.

🌿 Missed this one? Be on the lookout for our next Somatic Art Lab on November 8.

More details coming soon. ✨

This Saturday, September 5, I’m teaching Soothing the Nervous System: Herbs, Somatics & Breathwork at Joy of Yoga.

This is a 2-hour, in-person workshop for anyone who wants practical ways to work with stress, activation, and overwhelm through the body—not just by thinking your way through it.

We’ll explore:

* simple somatic practices for regulation
* breathwork that can support settling and grounding
* herbs that can become gentle nervous system allies
* how to notice what your own system actually responds to
* practices you can take home and continue using in everyday life

You don’t need any previous experience with somatics, herbs, or breathwork.

Come as you are. We’ll practice, experiment, and give the nervous system a little more room.

Soothing the Nervous System: Herbs, Somatics & Breathwork
📍 Joy of Yoga
📅 Saturday, September 5
⏰ 12:00–2:00 PM
🎟️ $35

There’s still room if you’ve been thinking about joining us.

Your nervous system doesn’t need perfection. It needs places to practice safety, support, and return.

Through stories of fear,resilience, and transformation, Shaking On The Inside reveals how leaders andexecutive coaches learned to embrace uncertainty, reconnect with themselves,and create success grounded in authenticity, healing, and purpose.

This is more than a book about overcoming fear. It is about learning to stay present long enough to discover strength, support, and radical acceptance on the other side.

The app isn’t meant to be another place where you collect practices and wonder what to do with them.

It’s designed as a system. 🌀

The Rhythm Note is your weekly orientation point.

It helps you notice what’s showing up right now — in your body, your relationships, your capacity, your life — and then connects that noticing to practices, conversations, music, and tools already living inside the app.

The process is simple:

NOTICE → ORIENT → PRACTICE → GO DEEPER

Some weeks you might listen to the playlist.
Some weeks you might try the practice.
Some weeks a tool or conversation might be exactly what you need.
And some weeks, noticing is enough.

You’re not supposed to “keep up.”

The system is designed to help you find your way in based on where you actually are.

That’s what I mean when I say we’re building through a Somatic UX lens: the experience should help you orient before it asks you to do more. 🌿

This is what Somatic Art Lab looks like. 🎨✨

A little movement. A little making. A little curiosity.
No art experience required. No need to make anything “good.”

Just space to notice what happens when the body gets to create.

We’re gathering again tomorrow — last call to join us.
Come as you are. 💛

Before you try to change your breath, notice it.

Where is it moving easily?
Where does it feel held?
Is it deep, shallow, quick, spacious?

Take a slow sip of Damiana tea. Let yourself notice the warmth, the taste, the sensation of swallowing.

Then return to your breath.

Has anything shifted?

Maybe your exhale is a little longer. Maybe your shoulders have softened. Maybe nothing changed at all.

The practice isn’t to make yourself relax. It’s to notice what happens when we give the nervous system another kind of sensory information—and allow the body to respond in its own way.

🌿 Herb. Breath. Body. Notice.

Join us September 5 at Joy of Yoga for Soothing the Nervous System, an experiential workshop exploring nervous-system support through herbs, breathwork, and somatic practice.

Come experience what changes when we stop asking the body to perform calm—and start giving it conditions that support it.

The body is part of the interface.

We don’t interact with technology, learning environments, healthcare systems, or workplaces as disembodied “users.”

We arrive with nervous systems.

Our attention fluctuates. Sensory load matters. Cognitive capacity changes. Stress changes how we process information, make decisions, communicate, and engage.

That means designing for usability isn’t enough.

Somatic UX asks another question:

What is this experience asking the nervous system to do?

Is it creating unnecessary urgency?
Adding cognitive or sensory load?
Demanding attention someone may not have?
Giving people enough orientation, choice, and agency to engage?

Sometimes the person isn’t struggling to use the system.

Sometimes the system is asking too much of the person.

That’s the space I’m exploring through Somatic UX: bringing nervous-system awareness into the way we design technology, learning, AI, healthcare, and human experiences.

Where do the systems you interact with ask too much of your nervous system?

✨ A few spots left for the Somatic Art Lab! ✨

What happens when we make space to sense and create without needing to fix, analyze, or perform?

Join us at Om Old Orchard on August 30 from 4:30–5:45 PM for a Somatic Art Lab with Anu French—an experiential space weaving together sound, intuitive art-making, body mapping, and nervous-system awareness.

We’ll begin and end with Anu’s harmonium, using sound to support arrival and integration. In between, we’ll explore intuitive art and body mapping alongside Anu’s I AM affirmations—following felt sense rather than trying to interpret what emerges.

✨ No art experience needed
✨ All materials provided
✨ Choice-based + trauma-informed
✨ Body map included
✨ Come exactly as you are

This isn’t about making “good” art. It’s about getting curious about what happens when the body gets to participate in the creative process.

Only a few spots remain.

📍 Om Old Orchard
📅 August 30
⏰ 4:30–5:45 PM

The Myth of Achievement and Fixing Ourselves

Before Somatic UX became a framework, it was personal.

My chapter in Shaking on the Inside explores what happened when I stopped treating success as something I could achieve by pushing harder, optimizing more, or endlessly fixing myself—and started paying attention to what my body was telling me.

I write about the shaking beneath the surface. The myth of self-improvement without end. The body as a source of information. And how developing somatic awareness changed the way I understand ourselves, our environments, and the systems we move through every day.

My first user research study wasn’t an app, a platform, or a piece of technology.

It was me.

Learning to pay attention to what was happening inside my own body changed the questions I began asking about the experiences we create for other people.

Not only:

Does this work?

But:

What does this experience ask of the human nervous system?
