Depression often signals a system that’s gone into protective shutdown. I approach it with curiosity, using body and mindfulness-based practices to gently awaken your nervous system and bring you safely and comfortably back into the driver's seat of your life. By tuning into what your system has been trying to protect you from, we create room for motivation, pleasure, and connection to return naturally, rather than forcing positivity.
