Hello my beautiful friend,
I want to share a moment that changed everything for me.
It was 2019, and I was navigating a storm of emotions. I was a mom to two little ones - a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old - trying to juggle their needs with the demands of life, all while carrying layers of unprocessed pain.
Therapy had been good for me - I loved it. It gave me clarity, space to reflect, and helped me understand so much about myself. But something was missing...
I didn’t need more insights; I needed something deeper, something that went beyond words.
One day, I found myself sitting on a beach in Malibu, watching my kids play joyfully in the waves with their dad. It was a beautiful moment, yet I was overwhelmed by the contrast of emotions: immense gratitude for the life I had and a deep sadness I couldn’t shake. I knew I needed to do more than talk about my pain.
I wanted to finally heal.
The Call That Changed Everything
That’s when a friend changed my life.
We had a phone call where I shared how I was feeling, letting myself be raw and vulnerable. She listened and then said something that would alter the course of my life:
“Have you heard of somatic healing? There’s someone in L.A. I think you should see.”
The Healing I Didn’t Know I Needed
I had never heard of somatic healing before, but I was willing to try. It was unlike anything I’d experienced.
Somatic healing helped me step out of my head and into my body. It allowed me to process emotions that had been trapped for years - grief, fear, anger, sadness. Finally, I let them move through me. I learned about the mother wound, the father wound, and the ways my nervous system had been keeping me stuck in patterns of survival.
This work didn’t replace therapy - it complemented it. Where therapy gave me insight, somatic healing gave me freedom. It reconnected me to myself, to my emotions, and to the present moment.
Somatic healing didn’t just help me feel better; it transformed my life. I became more present with my kids, more connected to my husband, and more grounded in who I am.
And that’s why I do what I do today.
Why I’m Sharing This With You
My life changed because one person cared enough to share. My friend didn’t need somatic healing herself, but she recognized it could help me.
Now, I want you to think about one person in your life. Who comes to mind when you think of someone who might need healing? Maybe it’s a friend who’s always giving but never receiving. Maybe it’s a family member who is carrying the heavy burden of anxiety and worry. Maybe it’s someone who’s grieving, overwhelmed, or just needs a way to come home to themselves.
You could be the reason their life changes.
And if that person is you, know this: You are not alone. You can rewrite your story. You can heal.
That’s exactly why I created Rewrite and Rise: Your 6-Week Sisterhood Journey to Healing & Renewal. Over the course of six weeks, we’ll discover tools to help you or your loved one break free from stress, emotional exhaustion, and the pain that’s been holding you back. Together, we’ll uncover ways to heal deeply, connect with your authentic self, and step into a life of peace, purpose, and joy.
Healing starts with a single step. It might be a phone call, a workshop, or even reading this blog post. What matters is this: you are worthy of healing, and it’s never too late to begin.
Share this message with someone who might need it. You never know how far your kindness can ripple.
With so much love,
Rachel
