Somatic therapy changed my life.

All while struggling on and off with anxiety and depression, the most transformative realization I learned was that, by regulating my nervous system and releasing limiting beliefs

I no longer suffered

At 18, my first panic attack marked the beginning of a long struggle with intrusive thoughts and a newly OCD diagnosis.

After years of traditional talk therapy, I began to lose hope of ever feeling like my true self again.

Then I started meditating, found somatic healing along with other holistic modalities, and learned how to process & release stuck trauma in the body.

Now I live a life free of anxiety and depression.‍ ‍

About Chanel

Chanel began her business in 2023, working alongside a naturopathic doctor to support clients with nutrition and lifestyle change. It didn't take long to see a consistent pattern: people often feel trapped in the same cycles of behavior, even when they deeply want change. These patterns are rarely about lack of knowledge or willpower, but are shaped by traumatic experiences, early development, attachment, and the ways the nervous system adapted for safety.

Unprocessed experiences quietly show up in present-day life as anxiety, depression, OCD, emotional eating, chronic stress, difficulty resting, or physical symptoms like chronic illnesses & pain.

Driven by this work, Chanel went on to pursue a Master's in Integrative Therapy, deepening her ability to support clients through a clinically informed, holistic lens that weaves together mental, emotional, and somatic healing.

Chanel brings lived experience, over 1,000 hours of coaching experience, professional training, and a genuinely compassionate approach to every client relationship — helping people slow down, make sense of what's happening, and move toward change that feels sustainable and real.
