About Me
For years, I felt disconnected from my body, my relationships, and the life I wanted to live. I was navigating trauma, dissociation, PTSD, exhaustion, and chronic health challenges while searching for answers. I felt like a faded version of the vibrant girl I once knew.
Along the way, I began to understand how my early experiences and years of survival had shaped the way I related to myself. Through nervous system education, somatic attachment, and faith, I learned to listen to my body with compassion instead of pushing past its signals.
Little by little, I began rebuilding trust with myself and reconnecting with life. I still have hard days, but I’m learning to meet myself with care through them.
Today, I help women who have spent years in survival mode reconnect with their bodies and lives through somatic attachment. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, exhausted, or unsure where to begin, I see you. You don’t have to find your way alone. 🤍
With care,
Marcie
From a young age, I learned to prioritize others' needs over my own, which kept my nervous system in a chronic state of dysregulation.
I moved from place to place, hoping that a change of environment or the ‘perfect’ diet would be the thing that healed me—when really, I was trying to outrun the discomfort inside..
I poured my energy into finding answers—through medicine, diets, and alternative therapies—while quietly managing my pain through people-pleasing and perfectionism.
Eventually, the symptoms became chronic—loud enough that I couldn’t ignore them anymore. My life grew painfully small, shaped by illness that I now understand was my nervous system’s way of coping. Unprocessed fight-or-flight energy, collapse into shutdown, and layers of dissociation left me feeling both afraid and numb… like I was watching life from behind a glass wall.
I began learning the language of my body, slowly regulating my nervous system, and surrounding myself with a heart-centered community that felt safe enough to heal in.
These days, I’m growing into who God created me to be—anchored in freedom, passion, and purpose, and walking alongside others as they learn to regulate and reconnect with themselves.
