I tried everything. Then I tried the opposite.
I'm an Associate Marriage Family Therapist specializing in neuroplasticity and somatic psychology for chronic pain, trauma, and nervous system dysfunction.
I've spent 7+ years in clinical circles — detox centers across Los Angeles, at-risk youth, the neurodivergent population. Hundreds of people whose bodies were telling a story their minds had long forgotten.
And for years, I couldn't figure out why the standard approaches kept leaving loose ends. Even in my own life.
As somebody who struggled with PTSD, I tried all the suggested approaches: 12-steps, talk therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It helped — moved things around, gave me real insight. But something underneath stayed locked. I'd feel better for a few days, maybe a week. Then the old tension would creep back — shoulder pain first, then the hyper-vigilance, until my body settled back into frozenness.
Eventually I discovered somatic therapy. As a former athlete, something about it registered: do the work first, feel the necessary feelings later. It gave my body the conditions to finally finish what it started.
I had my big somatic releases — clear before-and-afters that showed me the value of somatic therapy. But it was the steady progression of joy that kept me coming back. I didn't realize that not only were the 'bad' feelings patterned in my body, waiting to be released. The 'good' ones were too.
As things got better, I realized something: I wasn't regulating. I was reorganizing — and on a deeper level, regenerating. There's a difference.
Every approach I'd tried was telling my nervous system to calm down, regulate, find safety. None of them asked the most important question — is the mind-body signal even arriving? The work that finally clicked flipped the sequence: amplify arousal through a parasympathetic base. Don't dampen the signal. Turn the volume UP on stress after the body finds its safety signals. The body reorganizes around new experience rather than just managing the old one.
So I built a protocol around it. A standing series into a floor-based Somatic Unwinding. Eyes, jaw, neck, shoulders, trunk, hips. I worked top down, amplifying sensation through the whole fascial chain, then letting the nervous system land somewhere new.
I tested it on myself, then with clients. Once it held up, I recorded it.
682+ people have now completed the BodyMind Rewind protocol. People in freeze who hadn't felt their body in years, people with chronic pain who'd been through every modality — even people who thought somatic work 'wouldn't work for them.'
It worked. Because I wasn't asking their bodies to calm down. I was giving their bodies the necessary conditions to reorganize.
And that's what this workshop is. The live version of what 682+ people have already done on their own.
