Rooted & Rising - Listening to the Body

Rooted and Rising is a 12-session series designed to help women notice, understand, and regulate stress responses in daily life. Each session is standalone, so you can attend one or many.

Through embodied awareness, nervous system education, and practical tools, we explore how stress shows up in the body — and how to respond with curiosity, compassion, and choice.

This workshop focuses on:

• 🌸 Stress awareness – understanding your body’s messages
• 🧘 Nervous system literacy – noticing tension, overwhelm, and fatigue
• 💛 Self-compassion – responding to yourself with care, not criticism

If you feel drained, overextended, or weighed down by responsibilities, this space is for you.

Each session includes:

• Grounding & Arrival – settle in, feel safe, orient to the space
• Accessible Nervous System Education – learn why your stress responses make sense
• Embodied & Creative Exploration – movement, journaling, drawing, or guided reflection
• Practical Tools – simple techniques to use anytime, anywhere
• Reflection & Integration – consolidate learning and apply insights to your daily life

Who is this for?
Adult women of all ages who want to understand stress, connect with their bodies, and build practical, everyday tools. No prior experience required.

Is this therapy or group counseling?
No. This is a skills-based, psychoeducational workshop. While it may feel therapeutic, it is not therapy, and you are never required to share personal history.

I’m nervous about attending a group.
That’s normal! You can participate quietly, observe, or join fully — your pace, your choice. The space is safe, low-pressure, and professionally held.

Do I have to share?
No. Sharing is optional. Exercises invite reflection but verbal participation is always your choice.

Do I need to bring anything?
Optional: journal, sketchbook, or creative materials, though materials will be provided.

Am I too old or too young?
If you identify as a woman, you’re welcome. This space is inclusive of all adult ages.

I’m in therapy — is this okay?
Yes. This can complement personal therapy, but is not a substitute for individual or crisis support.

Who facilitates this workshop?
👩‍⚕️ This workshop is led by an HCPC-registered therapist with specialist experience in trauma, stress, and nervous system regulation. The session is professionally guided, safe, and psychologically informed, designed to be reflective and restorative without requiring disclosure.
