cultivate the regulation & resilience your body’s been missing with

EMBODIED
RESOURCE

Somatic support for healing from stress and trauma starts here.

~ 8 CLASSES, 6 WEEKS, LIVE + RECORDED ~

Let me explain: Trauma is an experience that begins in our body.

It happens when our nervous system experiences something as dangerous, unsafe, or deeply NOT OK, and we don’t have the resources inside or out to help our biology feel safe and ok again.

So our nervous system gets stuck in a state of survival

(keeping us anxious, hypervigilant, depressed, or dissociated), trying to protect us

until it feels that we are finally, truly SAFE.

Our body stays ready for danger, even when the present moment isn’t dangerous.

Until our body can register the feeling of “safe enough,” we’re unable to handle everyday stress without getting overwhelmed or shutting down.

Until our body—NOT just our mind—knows and feels safety is here, we can’t actually process , release, and integrate what happened in the past.

If you’ve tried talking about your trauma,

trying to figure out your trauma,

reading books to understand the root of your trauma,

processing your trauma,

releasing your trauma,

and STILL feel stuck,

your body may not have the support it needs for you to move forward.

So in order to heal,
our body needs to be SHOWN how to feel safe right here, right now.

You didn’t have the support and safety you needed when the trauma began.

But now, no matter what you’ve been through or what you’re struggling with,

you can cultivate the resource of safety within your body now,
and send your nervous system cues that it’s ok to settle

(when it actually is).

Through the mindful, skillful, compassionate use of simple somatic practices, you can teach your body to find and feel the safety it’s been missing.

And when your body feels safe—when your body is deeply RESOURCED— that’s when deeper healing can happen.

That’s when processing and integration becomes possible.

That’s when therapy, coaching, and other support often become even more effective.

That’s when resilience (as opposed to just endurance) can actually be built ✨

  • "EMBODIED RESOURCE is a great blend of just enough theory with an abundance of practical exercises. I learned so much each class and was able to incorporate the practices on my own during the week, feeling their impact right away. The slides, workbook, and practice recordings were tremendously supportive in helping me to integrate what I learned. Kristen may be the most present, compassionate teacher I've had the pleasure of learning from, and I wholeheartedly recommend EMBODIED RESOURCE to everyone interested in somatic support for health and wholeness."

    ~ P.C., Embodied Resource participant

  • “I had some experience with resourcing and nervous system work prior to the course, but this took my skill-set and knowledge to a whole new level. I now feel more empowered and capable knowing I have a wide variety of resourcing practices to experiment with and employ, especially in challenging moments. Kristen's teaching style is incredibly thoughtful and in-depth (without being overwhelming; she always offers just the right amount of information), and it's clear she teaches from both her expertise and personal experience. If you want practical tools and experiential learning to support you in healing from trauma or soothing your nervous system, EMBODIED RESOURCE is a no-brainer!”

    ~ Amy Y., Embodied Resource participant

  • “There are a bajillion ‘self-care’ and ‘trauma informed’ approaches being offered right now in the world to help with healing from trauma and excess stress, but in my experience they often miss the key ingredient that Kristen places front and center: the quality of our tone within that self-care. We often try to heal with tones that mimic and perpetuate the dynamics that they sprouted from (e.g. ‘something is wrong with me…that needs to be fixed/changed/cleared.’) The depth of her clarity and insight, the depth of her compassion and wisdom, and the breadth of approaches she's brought together, is truly unique and I would say, unparalleled. Can't recommend anything she offers more highly.”

    ~ Laura T., Embodied Resource participant

  • "Everything about EMBODIED RESOURCE was excellent. The timeline of topics covered, organization, presentation, consistency, quality, appearance, and amount of information on the slides, workbook, and practice recordings were so well done and so worth the price. Kristen’s trauma informed approach at every step was so soothing and encouraging. I gained a deeper understanding of myself in some profound ways, and the chronic pain I've had on the left side of my neck and shoulder for more than 20 years is even subsiding; overall, I feel more settled, calm, and peaceful, and [all of that] is unexpected. I’d been looking for a course that would help me get more connected with my body/feelings/emotions for quite a while. Because I had already been following Kristen’s posts and bimonthly self-care [classes], I thought maybe I could take the risk to take a course from a stranger. I'm so glad I did.”

    ~ J.B., Embodied Resource participant

  • “EMBODIED RESOURCE felt like a safe space to explore a variety of different internal resources that I didn't even know were available to me. Kristen has a unique ability to allow for people to feel seen and secure while in her courses and in her presence. She is gentle and always professionally mindful of the participants' comfort and felt sense of safety. I think she is very gifted in sharing and teaching the resourcing techniques in an online format, and in creating a succinct, easy to follow, and well-organized course. I enjoyed this class and highly recommend it to anyone who would like to FEEL better and safer in their own skin.”

    ~ Jo M., Embodied Resource participant

Here’s what we’ll do together…

  • Understand how your body is a resource.

    Learn what embodied resources are, why resourcing is important, and how to use your body to regulate your nervous system anytime, anywhere.

  • Try out your new somatic tools.

    Discover and practice a variety of ways your movement, breath, touch, and other senses can support your body and brain to shift out of survival and toward safety you can actually feel.

  • Take a trauma-informed approach.

    Learn trauma-informed guiding principles to help ensure you use somatic practices safely and effectively, at the pace your unique nervous system needs.

  • Feel + find what works for you.

    Learn how to choose + modify practices to meet your body right where it is, and practice determining what tools are (and aren’t!) right for you.

And here’s what’s included in the course…

11+ hours of LIVE interaction

6 weeks of 8 LIVE meetings on Zoom, with space for Q&A, discussion, and experiential practice. Feeling safe within the group is a priority, and you’re welcome to show up just as you are.

Recordings within 24 hours

Can’t attend live? Want to review? Replays of all live sessions are available for one full year after we finish our last live class, and participating asynchronously is totally an option.

Your own practice library

Over 20 stand-alone audio + video practices are included for you to download and keep, so you can listen or watch whenever you want to be guided through your new somatic tools.

Private course community

An online, private course community where you can share, connect, and find support with other participants exploring right alongside you.

Responsive, personal contact

I’ll be available for direct contact throughout the course if you need to touch base outside of class for guidance and support with what you’re discovering.

Course workbook and notes

A course workbook and PDFs of class slides to support your learning and exploration long after the live classes are done, because our brains need different ways to learn!

Hi, I’m Kristen

For all I know about trauma and stress, I’m sure of one thing: our body will lead us back to health, wholeness, safety, and regulation if it’s given the right support. I designed Embodied Resource to support you in giving your biology more of what it needs to heal, through foundational principles and simple practices that nourish your nervous system and reconnect you with your body’s capacity for feeling safe, alive, and well. If you’ve been missing the somatic support your healing needs, I hope you’ll join me. And if you’d like to learn more about my training and experience, please take a look here.

  • This may be a GREAT course for you if...

    • You’d like PRACTICAL, BODY-BASED TOOLS to help you deal with stress, heal from trauma, and regulate your nervous system.

    • You want to feel more SETTLED AND SAFE in your body instead of feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down.

    • You’ve tried a lot of “top-down” approaches to healing, and it’s not enough. You’re ready to add more SOMATIC, “BOTTOM-UP” SUPPORT to get the change you want.

    • Trying to control, manage, or hack your way out of survival responses hasn’t worked, and you want to learn to care for your embodied experience in a way that creates DEEPER, MEANINGFUL CHANGE.

  • This might not be a good fit if...

    • You’re looking for a protocol or quick-fix strategy that eliminates the need for therapy or other support.

    • You’re interested in somatic tools, but actually putting them into practice feels overwhelming or unrealistic for you at this time.

    • You want a professional training that will equip you to use somatic tools with your clients.

    • You’re in a time of active crisis and need more personalized and intensive support than an online group experience alone can provide.

Still have questions? Here’s some answers…

  • EMBODIED RESOURCE will meet live on Zoom for 6 Classes and 2 Connection + Integration Sessions (8 meetings total) over a period of 6 weeks.

    Classes are 90 minutes weekly on Tuesdays at 1pm EDT (US/Can). Connection + Integration Sessions are 60 minutes and will take place on two Thursdays (October 24th + November 7th) at 7pm EDT. Attending live isn’t a requirement; you’re welcome to participate asynchronously if your schedule or time zone requires (see the next question below).

    Check your local time conversion here.

    Class 1: Tuesday, October 15, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT (US/Can)

    Class 2: Tuesday, October 22, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT (US/Can)

    Connection + Integration Session 1: Thursday, October 24, 7pm-8pm EDT (US/Can)

    Class 3: Tuesday, October 29, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT (US/Can)

    Class 4: Tuesday, November 5, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT (US/Can)*

    Connection + Integration Session 2: Thursday, November 7, 7pm-8pm EDT (US/Can)

    Class 5: Tuesday, November 12, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT (US/Can)

    Class 6: Tuesday, November 19, 1:00pm-2:30pm EDT (US/Can)

    *Please note there’ll be a seasonal time change in the US from EDT to EST the week of November 3rd, which may differ from your local seasonal time change.

  • It’s not a problem, not everyone can!

    I’ve designed the course to feel complete and cohesive even if you attend asynchronously (which many participants do!). Recordings will be available within 24 hours of the live class, and you can use our online class community on Circle to stay engaged and on-track. I’ll be checking in regularly with the group to see how it’s going, and available for any questions that come up along the way. If you still have concerns about not being able to attend all the classes live, reach out and let’s chat :)

  • I’m so glad you asked! I believe that making an offering trauma-informed requires at least three important elements, and they’re all woven into EMBODIED RESOURCE:

    Context: I’m not just going to teach you techniques without any rhyme or reason. Our nervous system likes to know “why,” so we’ll take the time to frame what we’re doing in a way that makes sense and feels relevant.

    Connection: We’ll be exploring resourcing together over a period of 6 weeks, which gives you a lot more opportunities to connect with the content, yourself, and the group than in a one-and-done class. Our online class community also provides an easy way to connect with myself and other participants outside of the live calls.

    Choice: Our nervous system needs to have choice in order to feel safe, so you’ll get lots of options for how to use the tools you’re learning so they meet you where you’re at. You also have a choice as to how you engage with the course—live calls, recordings, PDFs, and our online course community are all available, and lots of permission is given along the way for you to participate in ways that feel best for you. Cameras on or off, sharing your voice or staying quietly present, you'll be encouraged to come as you are, and supported to stretch your system a little when it feels safe enough!

  • It’s not. EMBODIED RESOURCE is experiential and exploratory in nature, and is intended solely for personal education and use. It doesn’t address clinical application, and doesn’t sufficiently equip you to safely and effectively use somatic tools with your clients. It will assist you in resourcing and regulating your own nervous system, which in my opinion is one of the best gifts we can give to the people we companion and serve. Many helping professionals have taken EMBODIED RESOURCE, and have said it's been incredibly supportive in helping them show up for their clients in a more regulated, embodied way.

  • I typically run Embodied Resource twice a year, so the next round will most likely be in Spring 2025. You can get on my mailing list to make sure you hear about it when it happens and to stay in the loop about other opportunities to learn with me in the meantime!

  • You may choose to join Embodied Resource with one payment in full, or with fee-free monthly payments over 3 or 6 months; the first/initial payment is made when you register for the course, and the subsequent payments will be charged to your credit card on that same date the following months (e.g. if you register on October 2nd, your card will be charged for the remaining payments on Nov. 2nd, Dec. 2nd, etc.). Click here to go directly to the payment plan options. Once you initiate your purchase, you’re responsible for the full payment of the course, regardless of whether you choose to access or complete it.

  • Most likely! Email me with any further questions, including if you want help deciding if EMBODIED RESOURCE is right for you. I’d love to help you make an informed decision, without pressuring you to enroll :)

  • My daily life has changed…

    “I was seeking a natural and holistic way to improve my mental and emotional well-being when feeling anxiety or scared or overwhelmed . It was amazing to discover that through simple bodily practices I could reach or connect with a space in myself where I found peace. Kristen is a generous and excellent teacher who really CARES about people who attend to her courses. My daily life has changed as a result of this course; I now have tools to heal myself and shift my experiences when things don’t go well, and also for when I’m ok!”

    ~ Adela

  • Well worth the cost...

    I took this class last year, and I just want to tell anyone interested: This is a wonderful course, with a wide variety of practices offered, and best of all, Kristen's compassionate, supportive presence inviting you to tailor the experience to your own very specific needs. I attended live sessions when I could and revisited the recorded sessions multiple times, so it can be very effective even if you can't be there live, [and] I found it well worth the cost. (And Kristen didn't ask me to write this—I just liked the course that much!).

    ~ Chris D.

  • Connection with myself…

    “I am very grateful for Kristen and this course. I had been following her for a while on social media and really enjoyed this course and being able to put myself into it and experience the work for myself. I am a trauma therapist, and beyond my professional trainings there are only a couple of courses—this one included—that have genuinely allowed me to attribute the work toward myself. This course has allowed me to find connection with myself and regulate much more thoroughly.”

    ~ Sarah Vassileff

  • Gentle, rich, practical…

    “Loved this course. Kristen has a lovely, gentle approach as she shares ways to show up in our bodies. I feel safe in her presence as she shows care and compassion to everyone. She is validating and insightful and is a wealth of knowledge. I feel the information shared in the course is rich and so practical, and in between classes you can practice as you learn to regulate your nervous system and be at home in your body—recognizing where it’s at and what it needs. I value the class recordings and will return to them often.”

    ~ Lesley O’Brien

  • Many aha moments…

    “I had many aha moments thanks to this experience [in Embodied Resource]. The importance of compassionately attuning to my body’s individual needs and self resourcing as needed in the moment was a major takeaway. Kristen’s thoughtfulness, care, and emphasis on acceptance made it such a worthwhile experience. Kristen even managed to simplify and make feel better and more intuitive the somatic practices I already had a pretty firm grasp on. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to create more safety within.”

    ~ Leiann V.

  • Safe and grounded again…

    “Kristen’s Embodied Resource course set me on my journey toward feeling safe and grounded again. I was offered gentle tools to calm my nervous system which I can practice and/or use at anytime. I think what impacted me the most was how Kristen, thoughtfully, provided a very safe space. She also provided information on the subtleties of why some somatic tools may not be as effective…and much more. I’m so excited that I came across this course.”

    ~ Anita Deschutter

  • Safe, seen, and welcomed…

    “Kristen is a skilled and articulate teacher with a clear mastery of the material she presents, and her warm and humble tone help me feel safe, seen, and welcomed. The course is grounded in evidence-based science and supports people in developing practices to connect with and find safety in their bodily experience. Kristen has an attitude of curiosity and inclusion that is genuine and responsive—she meets each student where they are, and makes herself available to respond to questions throughout the course. A really great experience!”

    ~ Carol G.

  • Nourishing, strengthening, validating...

    “Kristen is truly a gift to anyone who studies with her. As a trauma-informed yoga teacher and yoga therapist, I already have some knowledge and experience to draw from, but what Kristen offered in this course took me to a new level. I found my experience with Kristen to be nourishing, strengthening, and validating. If I had the financial ability, I would gift this course to every yoga teacher and yoga therapist that I know.”

    ~Kathy Du Vernet

  • A deeper understanding of myself...

    "Everything about EMBODIED RESOURCE was excellent. The timeline of topics covered, organization, presentation, consistency, quality, appearance, and amount of information on the slides, workbook, and practice recordings were so well done and so worth the price. Kristen’s trauma informed approach at every step was so soothing and encouraging. I gained a deeper understanding of myself in some profound ways, and...overall, I feel more settled, calm..."

    ~ J.B.

  • Practices to calm and nurture...

    “I am so grateful to have found Kristen, and after following her for some time, I decided to enroll in her Embodied Resource course. What an incredibly safe space this was. Kristen provides many different practices and resources to help calm and nurture the nervous system. I am beyond grateful for not only the passion she has for her work, but the COMPASSION I feel when working with and learning from her.”

    ~ Donna V.

  • Wholeheartedly recommend...

    "Kristen may be the most present, compassionate teacher I've had the pleasure of learning from, and I wholeheartedly recommend EMBODIED RESOURCE to everyone interested in somatic support for health and wholeness."

    ~ P.C.

  • The perfect mix…

    “Kristen's course offers the perfect mix of theory and practice. You'll learn why and how resourcing works in a way that is easily understood and not overwhelming, and then you will get to experience resourcing in action. Kristen presents all of this in a safe and supportive space that honors the experiences of the students.”

    ~ Amanda N.

  • Multidisciplinary approach...

    “Kristen is an extremely knowledgeable teacher and guide. Her multidisciplinary approach ensures that students finish the course with foundational understanding of the practices she has developed, in addition to a firm grasp on modifications and flexible options for crafting the right fit. I would recommend working with Kristen and plan to study with her again in the future.”

    ~ Jordana DiVento

  • So empowering...

    “I was opened up to the many ways and possibilities of finding safety within myself, and it is so empowering. I knew about some somatic practices before but these class has taken it to the next level. Kristen has the most soothing, comforting voice and is clearly an expert at what she does. Highly recommend!”
